'Puerto Rican Whore’ & Other Things Trump Advisor Roger Ailes Allegedly Called His Fox News Talent

Source: Mediaite.com 11:53 am, Aug 23rd, 2016




The hits just keep coming for embattled former Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, whose reprehensible conduct is being further detailed in a lawsuit by Andrea Tantaros. According to the lawsuit, Ailes not only harassed Tantaros, he also revealed some pretty disgusting attitudes about other Fox News personalities, including some who defended him when these sexual harassment allegations first surfaced.

According to the suit, Ailes called Kimberly Guilfoyle a “Puerto Rican whore,” said that Harris Faulkner “has the tendency to look like the angry black woman,” and repeatedly quizzed Tantaros about the sexual proclivities of Guilfoyle, Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, and Eric Bolling.

Here’s what the suit says about a meeting between Ailes and Tantaros on or about August 12, 2014: a.“Is Greg Gutfeld gay?”; b.“Is Dana [Perino] a lesbian?”; c.Perhaps Gutfeld and Perino are “sleeping together?”; d.“Are Kimberly [Guilfoyle] and Eric [Bolling] sleeping together?”; e.Guilfoyle is “easy”; f. Shannon Bream’s “voice is annoying.”; g.Referring to Monica Crowley: “If I ever had to go on a date with her, I’d jump out the window.”; h.Referring to Gretchen Carlson: “She’s nuts.”; i.Referring to Catherine Herridge: “She’s a stalker.”; and j. Referring to Maria Bartiromo: “She got so fat.”

Then, in December, the suit alleges Ailes covered much of the same ground in another meeting in his office to test whether Tantaros had become any more receptive to his advances: a.“Is Greg Gutfeld gay?”; b.“Is Dana [Perino] a lesbian?”; c.“Perhaps Gutfeld and Perino are “sleeping together?”; d.“Are Kimberly [Guilfoyle] and Eric [Bolling] screwing?”; e.Perino “is uptight. You get the feeling that she never lets her hair down, but if she did, she’d be a good time.” f.Kimberly Guilfoyle is a “Puerto Rican whore” and a “Puerto Rican streetfighter”; g.“Harris [Faulkner] has to be careful. She has the tendency to look like the angry black woman.”;

How about $50 million for the plaintiff, and revoke the license for the rest of us. I would saw "us viewers," but I never watch Faux News.

Fox News is a cable-only network. It is not a broadcast network as their signal does not use the public airwaves. Accordingly, Fox does not have broadcast licenses.

Here's a helpful link regarding the FCC and the history of its regulations:

https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/cable-television

Like many other parts of our government, the authority of the FCC was severely diminished by President Reagan in 1984 and later by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives under Speaker Gingrich in 1996. Those GOPers sure do know how to screw up our country.

Cable television should be regulated far more stringently. The power and ubiquity of television is far too awesome to be left to the "free market." (The quotes are added because the markets are anything but free.) Additionally, cable television/internet/telephone costs would be much less expensive with greater regulation. But as long as we have corporately friendly governments, this is what we're stuck with.

Have a good evening, Wellstone ruled.

Is it because their owners go to the same cocktail parties? Or what?

10. Trump: Women 'get it better' than men

I am sure Trump empathizes with Ailes. After all, "all of the men, we’re petrified to speak to women anymore." "This political correctness is killing our country."

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/279132-trump-women-get-it-better-than-men

Speaking at a rally in Spokane, Wash., Trump was railing against the criticism he gets for accusing Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton of playing the "woman card."

“I mean all of the men, we’re petrified to speak to women anymore. We may raise our voice,” he said. “You know what, the women get it better than we do, folks.

“Look, we’re living in the real world. This political correctness is killing our country.”

It is the job of sanitation engineers to remove the trash-out of sight-out of mind.
Nobody wants to look at it after it is out front bagged and ready for removal.
Unless of course you happen to be in the business of sorting through the trash.

The GOP has a tremendous build up of discarded stuff out there in limbo.
And they all want to be relevant again.
Who would think to round them all up and put them out front so everybody, all the fans can see it for what it really is ..
The truth behind all of what goes on under cover !

Who would believe that I the Donald am in truth , none other than,









THE LONE RANGER !

After the election The Donald will fade away into a very long vacation-The Donald will lose-the GOP will implode,
But the Lone Ranger Rides Again !


And Rudy and Chris and Newt and Roger and oh but that list so very long.Yes I'm rounding up all the trash preparing to put it all on display.

My under cover fans, that was a good one !

Trump campaign manager: Here’s why we think the polls are wrong

Conway added: "It's because it's become socially desirable, if you're a college-educated person in the United States of America, to say that you're against Donald Trump."

The recently appointed campaign manager said that the "hidden Trump vote" is "very significant."

"Have you been able to put a number on that?" the interviewer asked.

"Yes," Conway replied.

"What do you think that is?" the interviewer pressed.

"I can't discuss it," she said. "It's a project we're doing internally. I call it the undercover Trump voter, but it's real
