knapplc Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 It's so crazy this keeps happening at Fox News! Quote Ed Henry fired from Fox News over sexual misconduct allegation Fox News said Wednesday that Ed Henry, one of its top news anchors, had been fired after the network received a complaint last week of sexual harassment from years ago. "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 chief executive Suzanne Scott and President Jay Wallace wrote in an email to employees. Scott and Wallace said that Henry was "suspended the same day and removed from his on-air responsibilities" while a third-party law firm investigated the matter. "Based on investigative findings, Ed has been terminated," they said. Link to comment

I agree. GOP voters JUST fell for a rich fake populist lying to their faces, to devastating effect. Let's hope they don't do it again. Tucker is no doubt smarter and less personally dysfunctional than Trump but I don't think elevating that to power is a good idea, either. Link to comment

How is that an answer to Fox News' ongoing culture of sexual harassment? I'll give you Tom Brokaw and Matt Lauer, but that's whattaboutism, not a condemnation of Fox (which deserves to be condemned). I mean, we're talking a list of: Roger Ailes George Murdoch Bill Shine Jesse Watters Dean Cain Scott Brown Bill O'Reilly Francisco Cortes Sean Hannity Jack Abernethy Steve Doocy Brian Wilson Link to comment

Just pointing out it is not just a conservative issue. Franken started as a comedian and broadcaster, before he was a Senator....at NBC. But I know you already knew that. check out the list here https://www.vox.com/a/sexual-harassment-assault-allegations-list/ Link to comment

Sure, Fox did this, but look at Al Franken! 1 Link to comment

This is what I see when I think of the Republican Party. Rich, White, Trust fund baby-man lecturing a Veteran, Purple Heart recipient, on what it means to be patriotic. 4 Link to comment
