Since Fox News is mostly political this seemed the right place for this.

So, Gretchen Carlson was fired and she is now suing because she claims sexual harassment is rampant there.

And I'm not talking about oblique insinuations. No, it seems she is alleging that Roger Aisles straight up asked her to have sex with him and was a bit put off that she would not.

If true this kind of explains why all the female hosts seem to look alike: Roger has a type!

Read the full lawsuit here.

There's a certain cynical side of me that wonders if she was also fired because she had stopped towing the corporate line that the NRA is always right.
 
I remember there was one Fox blonde which would occasionally go off-script and ask interviewees an actual question. You could tell it wasn't planned because the guest always looked very startled when this happened. Was that her, or am I thinking of a different one?
 
Either her or Megyn. They are the only ones that I can ever recall going off script.
 
What's the point of running an organization with traditional 1950's values if you can't chase skirt now and again?
 
Between the earlier Breibart incident (different, but equally dismissive of women) and this, I'd be surprised if any Republican gets more than a sliver of the HS graduate and above women's vote.
 
Fox has a habit of hiring smoke shows for their anchors. While it's pleasing to the eye, it's not very well hidden. Especially their meteorologists.
 
They say she was not fired: she had a contract expire and they chose not to renew it, owing to the ratings of her show (which she got after she was fired from Fox and Friends... ;)

I am betting this will be settled out of court.

Not in my anecdotal experience. My fairly large circle of acquaintances (not quite friends) is full of educated, adult females who trumpet Trump at every chance.

I'm a dirty old man and if I was a mind to I know that tumbler has sites that produce upskirts every time you click the button.

It can't be this. Or it shouldn't.

Fox is sexist among other evils. Fox is truly ugly.

Tumblr is what it is, but Fox says it is fair and balanced. Tumblr makes no such claim. Guys into upskirts should be ashamed they spend so much time watching biased news just to see what someone has already edited for them on the internet.

"Upskirt" - turns out that's a real thing. Learn something new every day.

I shall return after further detailed investigation.

A lot of it. If interested in iterations, look up (hah hah hah)"sharking". (five minutes later after running search) or, don't, mostly video sites likely bad for your computer - and ones I am not supposed to send you to..... and all the definitions I spotted do not include the appropriate meaning here: publically and very rapidly removing the lower body clothing of a victim (almost always female) essentially on the run (though not taking it with you normally). Japanese were big on it and likely originated it. Big around 6 years ago.
 
OOPs, loads of art (drawings, sculpture, paintings) on the topic from a long way back. Little new under.....etc.

Then the US is far farther along the path to mindless vacuity than my worst fears.

We also now have Fox's token ugly, but still bimbo, Van Susteren, claiming that since she never noticed anything about sexual harrassment, there is nothing. Seems she is missing an obvious point.
