Ailes Out at Fox News

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Murdochs decide to oust Fox News chief Ailes: report

BY LISA RICHWINE AND JESSICA TOONKEL

Rupert Murdoch, executive co-chairman of 21st Century Fox Inc (FOXA.O), and his sons James and Lachlan agree that Fox News Channel boss Roger Ailes should leave the company but they have not settled on the timing, New York magazine reported on Monday, citing anonymous sources.

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson has sued Ailes, claiming sexual harassment. Ailes has denied the charges. Fox hired the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison to conduct an internal investigation.

"This matter is not yet resolved and the review is not concluded," 21st Century Fox said in a statement after the report surfaced. Julie Henderson, a spokeswoman for 21st Century Fox, declined to comment beyond the statement.

An attorney for Ailes did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A lawyer for Carlson declined to comment on the report.

New York magazine reported that two sources briefed on the investigation said that all three Murdochs "have settled on removing" the 76-year-old Ailes. Lachlan Murdoch is executive co-chairman of 21st Century Fox and James Murdoch is chief executive officer.

After reviewing the initial findings of the Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison investigation, James Murdoch "is said to be arguing that Ailes should be presented with a choice this week to resign or face being fired," the magazine reported.

Lachlan "is more aligned with their father, who thinks that no action should be taken until after the GOP convention this week," the magazine reported.

Now that is evidence of bias. Waiting until after the convention? Don't want to steal news away from their overlords.

Ann Coulter: ‘Every woman’ who’s worked at Fox News has dirt on Roger Ailes

The Huffington Post caught up with Coulter (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ann-coulter-roger-ailes_us_578e5fb2e4b07c722ebc5efd) in Cleveland and informed her of today’s big report claiming that Fox star anchor Megyn Kelly has told investigators that she was sexually harassed by Ailes ten years ago.

Coulter, for her part, couldn’t believe that Ailes only harassed her once.

“That’s it?” Coulter told The Huffington Post. “Oh boy, I have better details than that, from every woman who has ever been employed by Fox, which I have not.”

[FuzzyLumpkins]

When CEO Roger Ailes leaves the company, Fox News will have to find a new way forward. But Ailes’ legacy, and a series of business challenges that are on the horizon for the most-watched cable news network, will complicate the endeavor.

In Cleveland, where a small army of Fox News staff is covering the Republican National Convention, the news hit like a tidal wave. With essentially no internal communication, staffers were glued to their smartphones, following the rapidly unfolding story’s twists and turns.

One person said that on Fox News Channel's set in Cleveland Tuesday afternoon, after the Ailes news broke, it "felt like a funeral."

Internally, there are two big questions surrounding the channel’s future. Who’s in charge? And will the channel’s line-up of stars follow Ailes out the door?
As we wrote earlier this month, Bill Shine, who oversees the channel’s prime-time and opinion programming, and Jay Wallace, who oversees news and day side, are seen as likely internal contenders to succeed Ailes as the channel’s top executive, should they want the job. John Moody, Fox News’ executive editor and an executive vice president, is also seen as a strong internal candidate. Another source familiar with Fox's inner workings suggested that Michael Clemente, who took on a new role with the company earlier this year overseeing special projects that may have been a demotion, could profit from Ailes' exit and be best positioned to take the top role, because he has the ear of the Murdoch brothers, James and Lachlan, who are now free to run the channel without Ailes’ interference. A senior TV news executive predicted that neither Shine nor Clemente will succeed Ailes at the company.

Would any of them want to assume the top role given the circumstances of Ailes’s departure, and given their close relationship to him?

Ailes was also notorious for micromanaging, as Rupert Murdoch himself joked about in an interview with Fortune Magazine earlier this year. Wallace, Shine and Clemente are, at any rate, seen as more conventional executives, more willing to delegate responsibility. Indeed, one Fox News staffer predicted that if Ailes were to leave, multiple people would assume the roles he held, even if one person was given the title of chairman or president.

[Winehole23]

The average age of Fox News viewers in primetime, the hours that draw the highest ad rates and so are the ones that matter, is 68 — a group that advertisers don’t pay to reach. In the world of cable news, marketers really only pay for viewers in the 25-54 age range. That means a good chunk of Fox News’ audience is worth little to nothing.


Fox News still mints money — it accounts for as much as 24 percent of the parent company’s yearly profit, or more than $1.5 billion — but a lot of that comes from licensing fees paid by distributors to carry the network, which are only negotiated every few years. Fox News still leads in total viewership and in primetime, but it can’t capitalize on a lot of that audience since advertisers don’t pay for a lot of these viewers.

You don't just stop there. You post new incidents of it and then fantasize about that too. You then defend the pedophile in those cases too particularly when they call the teacher unattractive.

By itself its not a big deal given the reality of pop culture but when you started doing the same thing with Hastert's victims then it does raise concerns. It's a pattern.

At Fox News, Kisses, Innuendo, Propositions and Fears of Reprisal

The Times spoke with about a dozen women who said they had experienced some form of sexual harassment or intimidation at Fox News or the Fox Business Network, and half a dozen more who said they had witnessed it.

Two of them cited Mr. Ailes and the rest cited other supervisors. With the exception of Ms. Bakhtiar, they all spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing embarrassment and fear of retribution. Most continue to work in television and worry that speaking out could damage their careers.

They told of strikingly similar experiences at Fox News. Several said that inappropriate comments about a woman’s appearance and sex life were frequent. Managers tried to set up their employees on dates with superiors.

The women interviewed by The Times described similarly troubling experiences at Fox News and the Fox Business Network,

One former Fox News staff member described walking into a dark office in 2009 to find a senior manager receiving oral sex from a junior employee.

One current employee said that she was with a male supervisor in a closed-door, one-on-one meeting in 2009 when she asked to work on an assignment. He turned to her and said, “Sure,” then conditioned it on oral sex.

Almost all the women said they were reluctant to go to the human resources department with their complaints for fear that they would be fired.

Several former Fox News employees said that people were afraid to speak up but that many women viewed the behavior there as par for the course in the broadcasting industry, where appearance is so highly valued.

“There is a culture where, not that you accept it, you just deal with it,” one former employee said.

Fox Reportedly Seeks Settlement With Carlson as New Reports Reveal Apparent ‘Fear’ About Ailes

Fox News is reportedly seeking a settlement withGretchen Carlson over her sexual harassment lawsuit as new reports come in about Roger Ailes and apparent “fear” at the network about their boss.

First, as we reported earlier today, Andrea Tantaros––who hasn’t been on Fox since April––claims that (http://www.mediaite.com/online/former-fox-news-host-andrea-tantaros-says-ailes-sexually-harassed-her-too/) she was yanked from the air after reporting to other Fox executives about Ailes sexually harassing her. Tantaros has not been officially terminated, and according to Business Insider (http://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-andrea-tantaros-roger-ailes-2016-8), that may be coming soon.

Tantaros’ lawyer said that she’s speaking out because “she doesn’t have the same fear of being attacked by the Fox PR machine,” and it appears that fear of Ailes is pervasive at the network.

A new report from CNN tonight (http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/08/media/roger-ailes-fox-monitoring/index.html) says that the reason Fox Newsers have been so tight-lipped for years about what’s going on at the network is because, as one anonymous network personality put it, “we all believe our phones are tapped and that we are monitored.”

And as the avalanche of Ailes reporting continues––including the revelation of a supposed “black room” (http://www.mediaite.com/online/new-report-says-roger-ailes-had-a-black-room-to-wage-campaigns-against-enemies/) Ailes used to wage campaigns against and surveil his enemies––a Vanity Fair report tonight (http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/08/exclusive-inside-the-fox-news-bunker-roger-ailes) says that Fox wants to settle with Carlson:

The company is requesting that Ailes, who has denied all Carlson’s allegations, fund at least a portion of the settlement, which is expected to reach eight figures, these people said. At issue in the settlement talks is the existence of audio tapes recorded by multiple women in conversation with Ailes, two people familiar with the tapes said.


And in keeping with this growing theme of fear at the network, former News Corp PR exec told Vanity Fair, “Roger ruled with a heavy dose of implied threats—to journalists, staff, and even colleagues who didn’t work for him––and psychological games… Roger deserves to end his career in disgrace.”

http://www.mediaite.com/online/fox-reportedly-seeks-settlement-with-carlson-as-new-reports-reveal-apparent-fear-about-ailes/

:lol So the Repug network isn't exactly how Christ would run a network.

The allegation of sexual harassment a few years ago against "war on Christmas/Christians" Bill O'Reilly becomes more credible.

After Months of Silence, Tantaros Claims Fox News Is a ‘Sex-Fueled, Playboy Mansion-Like Cult’

http://static01.mediaite.com/med/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/tantaros-316x207.jpg

The last time that Andrea Tantaros appeared on Fox News was Monday, April 25.

And then, Tantaros was off-air, suddenly, and without warning. One day led to another, and given the dynamic of the bloviated outrage that would, from time to time, emerge from her end of the Outnumberedcouch, it became immediately clear that something — but what? — was up.


According to Tantaros’s account, Ailes began harassing her on August 12, 2014. During a meeting in Ailes’s office, Ailes allegedly asked Tantaros to do “the twirl” so he could see her figure. She refused.

Then, in mid-December of that year, Ailes made another advance, Burstein says. “Ailes asked her to turn around, and then he said, ‘Come over here so I can give you a hug.’” Tantaros rebuffed the advance, Burstein says.

In February 2015, Tantaros was pulled off the 5 p.m. program The Five and demoted to working full-time on the midday show Outnumbered.

In February 2015, according to Burstein, Ailes allegedly harassed Tantaros again in his office, asking about her workout routine because her body “looked good” and mentioning that she must “really look good in a bikini.”


And yesterday, a formal lawsuit was officially filed (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/23/business/media/andrea-tantaros-of-fox-news-claims-retaliation-for-harassment-complaints.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=0) alleging that top executives (http://www.mediaite.com/uncategorized/breaking-andrea-tantaros-sues-fox-news-for-alleged-retaliatory-benching/) (including Bill Shine, who essentially replaced Ailes with his recent ouster) punished her for voicing concerns over Ailes’ behavior. Although the network claimed that Tied Up In Knots was written without their vetting, Tantaros alleges in the lawsuit:

Fox News masquerades as a defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency and misogyny.


Ailes did not act alone. He may have been the primary culprit, but his actions were condoned by his most senior lieutenants, who engaged in a concerted effort to silence Tantaros by threats, humiliation and retaliation.”




http://www.mediaite.com/online/after-months-of-silence-tantaros-claims-fox-news-is-a-sex-fueled-playboy-mansion-like-cult/

Bill O’Reilly gets amnesia, forgets he defended Roger Ailes and smeared his accusers

NBC also forgot that O’Reilly is also facing sexual harassment allegations

“To all the victims of sexual harassment, direct and indirect, I am sorry for what happened to you. As the father of three daughters, including one in the news business, I urge all who have been offended to reach out,” Rivera wrote on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/GeraldoRivera/posts/1238195829546768).[/COLOR]

Guthrie wanted to know if O’Reilly had similar regrets about defending Ailes.[/COLOR]

O’Reilly replied that he knows “nothing about the case,” never defended Ailes from the sexual harassment allegations and only said he “was a great boss.”

Bill O’Reilly is not telling the truth.

Back in July, a week after Carlson’s suit was filed, O’Reilly declared on NBC’s Late Show with Seth Myers that Ailes was the victim of a frivolous lawsuit. O’Reilly told Myers that “[i]n this country, every famous, powerful or wealthy person is a target.”

He suggested that Carlson’s lawsuit against Ailes, which Fox News ended up settling for $20 million, was “a frivolous lawsuit.” He suggested that America adopt “the English system of civil law whereby if you file a frivolous lawsuit and you lose, the judge has a right to make you pay all court costs."

He called the entire situation a product of an “out-of-control tabloid society that is tremendously destructive.”

“I stand behind Roger 100 percent,” he concluded.

But O’Reilly had another reason to play dumb. He’s facing his own allegations of sexual harassment at Fox News. In August, former Fox News commenter Andrea Tantaros also sued Fox News, claiming she was one of many women harassed by Roger Ailes.

Tantaros also alleged she was harassed by O’Reilly (https://thinkprogress.org/the-explosive-new-sexual-harassment-allegations-against-bill-oreilly-detailed-532232faca58#.w62dvvnxn):

O’Reilly, who is not a defendant in the lawsuit, was not asked about these allegations on NBC.

O’Reilly was also sued by Fox producer Andrea Mackris in 2004. She alleged that

O’Reilly “repeatedly subjected her to sexual harassment through dinner and phone conversations variously described as lewd, lascivious, vile and threatening (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/oreilly-sued-for-sex-harassment/).”

That suit was settled.
