Eat News 4738 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 That happened two years ago, and I see no evidence that sexual harassment is institutionalized at CBS or any other network to the same extent that it is at FNC. Are you good at the google machine? How about a deep search? How much dough did CBS drop to take care of that case? God forbid word gets out about Male on Male sexual harassment at the hallowed CBS. That one took 5 seconds to find. I can run a Pacer or lex/nex search and find plenty more. Every network has sexual harassment cases PENDING RIGHT NOW.. Active court cases on the federal and local level. So don't tell me it's not everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I should have specified. Yeah, it happens everywhere. But I'm specifically talking about Fox. The Wrap article proves that this culture at Fox has been alive and well for nearly two decades. What's worst is they figure they can settle their way out of things to avoid going through further legal channels (glad that Andrea Tantaros didn't take any of their settement money). This is almost similar to when Fox made settlements to five employees who've said they were harrassed by Bill O'Reilly. See the pattern? I'm not going to defend FOX...but I will show that others are just as guilty, and that the problem is industry wide. Let The Wrap dive into a real look at the problem....I doubt they would devote the time or resources to a real investigation. Why focus on one problem when the problem is industry wide? Why just outrage at FOX? Because it's "The Flavor Of The Week". The Wrap article is a inaccurate as to the scope of the "problem". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I thought the name Rod Wheeler sounded somewhat familiar to me, and now I rediscovered what I remember him from (and I am subsequently laughing my ass off again, too) Overall, it's unsurprising that Fox News is now acting similar to a state-run media outlet, in particular Trump favorites like Fox & Friends. I always found that show in particular to have a really weird feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Doesn't surprise me one bit, sadly. A leftover from the Ailes "good ol' boys club" era. I wonder who else has had problems that simply haven't been brought to light yet. Wasn't Steve Doocy named in Gretchen Carlson's original suit as harassing her (which led to her complaining to Ailes to begin with)? Unless it wasn't sexual in nature and he was just being an asshole. I'm sure the programming people at FNC aren't happy. "We JUST rearranged the schedule and gave this guy a show after the last one was harassing employees." That's if he ends up leaving the network, of course, which I think will only happen if this turns out to be bad enough for him (even O'Reilly didn't leave after the 'falafel' incident).

Action Newsroom 1150 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 That title "Cashin' In" sounds so painful and cringey now. It's like saying: "Cashin' In on still working here and getting paid for my divisive appearances despite sexually provoking and directly ruining the lives of my female co-workers! Wahoooo!"

[MEDIA=twitter]893852566743855105[/MEDIA] Does the name "Johnny Dollar" sound familiar to anyone? It should. That being said, Cashin In was and is prerecorded, and they clearly couldn't find someone at the last minute to rerecord it. It also means he's going to be suspended to some extent. They wouldn't have done this if they weren't going in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSSZNews 1046 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 There it is: Fox News has suspended host Eric Bolling pending the results of its investigation he sent lewd photos to three female colleagues. A Fox News spokesperson released the following statement: “Eric Bolling has been suspended pending the results of an investigation, which is currently underway.” The Bolling-hosted program Cashin’ In taped yesterday morning was pulled last night after FNC became aware of the allegations in a Huffington Post story that Bolling had texted unsolicited photos of male genitalia to three female colleagues. Cashin’ In was replaced today by a live half-hour of news. The network will use a rotation of substitute hosts in Bolling’s place on The Specialists (weekdays, 5 p.m.) and Cashin’ In (Saturdays, 11:30 a.m.). Attorney Paul Weiss is conducting the Fox News investigation.

Rusty Muck 4167 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Reports say Laura Ingraham could be getting a primetime show on FNC. Sure sounds like a big shakeup in in the offing. I would be surprised is Laura didn't get either the 9 or 10 slot (the latter would have Lumpy move back to 9) and the Five going back to ... well, 5. Quite frankly, Maddow is steamrolling The Five, and that's cripped Lumpy's ratings at 10 as a result of a terrible lead-in. It's also an explicit admission that Eric Bolling is no longer in the channel's long-term future. Which means Sinclair will snap him up because of course they will, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
