I wonder...

have settled on removing the 76-year-old executive, say two sources briefed on a sexual-harassment investigation of Ailes being conducted by New York law firm Paul, Weiss.

...yeah. That's what I thought. Surprised it took this long for the news to come out.

 

[FWJK]

Yeah - he has to go. No other option/outcome.

Yeah, I think the Carson thing was probably the last nail in coffin.

Some peeps don't worry about who they step on on the way up because they never think they're comin' down

 

[oldpink]

Meh
I'll believe it when it actually happens.

Recently a lot of Fox News stars have come out for Roger. I found it interesting that Gretchen never complained about these charges until she got fired. So she was OK with it and went along to keep her job?

I was a manager at a large organization. In the process of trying to fire a bad employee she contacted HR and said I harassed her during a performance review. Total lie but I was investigated and eventually exonerated.
So I lived this crap first hand.

That is one of the hazards of hiring females. Being a manager with several females working for me, it does make me nervous. You just never know when something like this gets thrown against the wall.

They were talking on the radio ( Hugh Hewitt?) The Murdoch kids are not really big fans of his and are tired of FOX leaning right. They said this was just an excuse to move him along.

Fox it the only right leaning TV network on the air. I can't see them being successful changing there format. If they did it would be a great opportunity for a new network to form. Fox is making to much money to make that big of change.

They change their format I will stop watching. I know this next comment will get me in trouble but I happen to like all the blondes in short dresses

With Megyn Kelly jumping on the "he harassed me" bandwagon. He is dead for certain. Didn't she sleep with Britt Hume to grease the skids, so to speak?

I had not heard that yet. Yeah not a good thing. You gotta give fox credit, they do have some nice looking news anchor's and co-host's!

Old roger might have faired better over and MSNBC. I can't see him hitting on Rachelle Maddow.

I second the thoughts about the blondes in short dresses and the format. What's not to like??

Sexual harassment is easy to claim and tough to define. Especially when a large part of your duties include appealing to the eye of viewers.



We had a president a while back dead to rights proven guilty of sexual harassment in front of the whole country. We fired the SOB and somehow he just kept the job?

 

[TheHive]

Megans KELLYs book had nothing but nice things to say about him, bet there's lots of deals being made to quite it up.

 

[HKUSP]

This is just the beginning of Megyn Kelly's plan for world domination. Be ready.

 

[Mosin Mounts]

I quit watching network news years ago, but Fox still catches my eye when I see others watching it here and there. I never really thought about it before, but maybe it IS the scenery... No, no... It's the right-leaning... No, no... I can't decide...

 

[HKUSP]

No. It's the scenery. I know this because I immediately turn over to Adult Swim when Greta Van Susteren comes on.

 

[oldpink]

Sounds to me more like a bunch of propagandizing from Team Carlson than confirmed discord at the top.
