When they’re not coming to get you, it’s paranoia

Murdoch installed Ailes in the corner office on Fox’s second floor at
1211 Avenue of the Americas in Manhattan. The location made Ailes
queasy: It was close to the street, and he lived in fear that gay
activists would try to attack him in retaliation over his hostility to
gay rights. (In 1989, Ailes had broken up a protest of a Rudy Giuliani
speech by gay activists, grabbing demonstrator by the throat and
shoving him out the door.)

Barricading himself behind a massive mahogany desk, Ailes insisted on
having “bombproof glass” installed in the windows — even going so far
as to personally inspect samples of high-tech plexiglass, as though he
were picking out new carpet. Looking down on the street below, he
expressed his fears to Cooper, the editor he had tasked with
up-armoring his office. “They’ll be down there protesting,” Ailes
said. “Those gays.”
