Harassment Crisis Builds at Fox News, Despite Its Swift Moves

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

When the anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a bombshell lawsuit accusing the Fox News chairman Roger Ailes of sexual harassment, Fox’s corporate masters moved fast.

A major law firm was hired to investigate. Two weeks later, Mr. Ailes was gone, ousted from the network he ran for two decades. Rupert Murdoch stepped in as chairman, sending a clear message: This is a fresh start.

But the grim tales about life under Mr. Ailes keep coming. More women have come forward, describing a culture of intimidation and misogyny, and telling of settlements they received to leave the network. Some of Mr. Ailes’s top deputies who remain in charge at Fox News have been accused of aiding his behavior. Inside the newsroom, employees are still on edge about what new stories might surface and which executives could be ensnared.

If the Murdoch family wanted to leap ahead of this scandal, it is now at risk of falling behind. Some people at Fox News are asking if meaningful change can occur inside a workplace still stocked with loyalists to Mr. Ailes. “People are waiting to see,” one staff member said.

3. I'd be interested to hear if RITA COSBY has any stories to tell.

Some may remember her--she was the buxom blonde with an unusual, rather throaty voice, who wore the usual Big Blonde Hair-Red Lipstick-Low Cut Blouse "uniform" that Fux favors....and then, she gained a few pounds. Next thing you know, she was out on her ass. I think she did a tryout at one of the other cable outlets, and then went to radio.

I'd be interested to know if she was targeted or abused while she was working there.

4. She had a show on MSNBC briefly

5. I thought she got canned

for making up that lie comment "Terrorist fist-bump" about the Obamas, but you may be on to the real story.

8. On Faux, that would be a feature, not a bug!

I don't think they wrote much of their own copy on that channel--they were pretty much news presenters, not reporters.....

6. Just wait for what they did to Democrat at all levels

The shit is nowhere near the fan yet. Truth will out. Once the foundation is rotten and the facade cracks, expect an implosion or explosion. Poppy Murdoch is a figurehead these days. They are all going down with the ReTHUG party for creating this monster.
