Shocking development

1. Money changes everything.

Not in her favor - Gretchen Carlson filed case after losing contract.

Bartiromo is the latest in a number of prominent female Fox anchors and contributors who have spoken in the days since the charges became public. Greta Van Susteren and Jeanine Pirro have also made statements to media outlets defending Ailes. Megyn Kelly, who has rocketed to fame on Fox News in the past few years, has yet to offer public remarks.

She also demurred when asked about an anecdote related in an unauthorized 2014 biography of Ailes, “The Loudest Voice in the Room,” in which an anonymous source tells writer Gabriel Sherman that Ailes once made a crack about Bartiromo’s weight and physical appearance when considering an opportunity to hire her before her 2014 arrival. “I did not see that,” Bartiromo said. The book, a controversial one, has been the subject of much scrutiny in recent days.

True to her business-news background, Bartiromo sent over a five-day chart of the stock performance of 21st Century Fox reflecting its performance since Carlson’s allegations became known. The company’s stock price, she noted, has been up.

Is this a sad commentary on what it takes for some women (victims?) to get ahead in business and the entertainment media, and how the end justifies the means if it helps us achieve our goals in life?

3. The blonde news readers on Faux...

must be feeling a little queasy. Now that it's out there what women have to do to work on camera, what do they suppose everyone is thinking when they look at THEM? What did YOU have to do to sit and and spew Faux BS everyday? At least Carlson refused, much as I dislike her politics.
