There seems to be a recurring pattern with Fox news employees..................
Fox News said Wednesday that Ed Henry, one of its top news anchors, has been fired after an investigation into an allegation was leveled by a former employee.
"On Thursday, June 25, we received a complaint about Ed Henry from a former employee's attorney involving willful sexual misconduct in the workplace years ago," Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and president Jay Wallace wrote in an internal memo.
The executives said that an outside law firm was immediately brought in to investigate the claims.
"Ed was suspended the same day and removed from his on-air responsibilities pending investigation," they said. "Based on investigative findings, Ed has been terminated."
Until last week, Henry was a rising star at Fox, responsible for co-anchoring three hours of morning news coverage on the network.

Trump hated him and Trump threw a wobbly at him just over a week ago, right before the accusation.

serial sexual assaulter.
(Then when it was pointed out Ailes had been dead for years, Trump OF COURSE tweeted that he KNEW that, that they were best friends, and he was just, you know, remembering him fondly when he tweeted to him as if he were still alive, and also he put in some insult to the current Fox News. Murdoch should really finally turn on Trump and become a never-Trumper, LOL.)

(297,467 posts)6. I thought I remembered the name Ed Henry.. Clashing with Pres Obama..
Henry discussed the exchange with Megyn Kelly on her show and defended his decision to quote Mitt Romney in his question. I was trying to put it in the broader context of not just Mitt Romney, but there are a lot of Republicans out there who would charge that this president leads from behind, he said. ...Instead, he decided to go after me a little bit.
Henry has clashed repeatedly with Obamas spokesman, Jay Carney.
