Star chamber justice condemns Eric Bolling of Fox News without a trial
American Thinker.com ^ | August 7, 2017 | Peter Barry Chowka

A system of sorts has been perfected to destroy the most effective conservative spokesmen on the Fox News Channel, and it operated with stunning efficiency over the last few days. A marginal writer with a documented background as a high level political operative and fundraiser in left wing Democrat politics published an unsourced article at a far left Web site, HuffPost (formerly the Huffington Post). The article claimed that multiple anonymous sources supposedly confirmed to the writer that “several years ago” prominent Fox News channel (FNC) host and anchor Eric Bolling – who happens to be a strong supporter of President Donald Trump – texted a graphic, lewd photo of male genitalia to two or three of his FNC female colleagues.

No one is quoted in the article – anonymously or otherwise. Apparently, the allegations were news to Bolling’s employer. Bolling’s attorney, when given short notice that the article was about to be published, immediately issued a denial on behalf of his client. (The next afternoon, having had some time to prepare, he issued a more vociferous denial.)

Nonetheless, before the evening was over, a pre-recorded new episode of Bolling’s weekly show Cashin’ In, that had been set to run Saturday morning at 11:30 AM EDT, was pulled from the FNC schedule. The next day, Saturday, a one sentence statement from Fox News informed the world that Bolling was immediately suspended from his jobs at Fox News (six shows a week, totaling 5 ½ hours of airtime, not counting frequent guest spots on other Fox programs).

Accused by a homosexual woman activist who has a history of accusing other men.

Seems she is looking for a payout.

The serious nature of the charge is the most important aspect of making an indictment of this sort. The facts of the matter have no bearing.

It used to be that the mere declaration that a person was of deviant sexual orientation was enough in the court of public opinion, to bring down the most exalted star or personality of stage, screen, radio, and TV. But then, there used to be some sense of decorum, too.

When are women going to come out and start accusing Leftist men of sexual harrassment? Oh wait, most Leftist men on TV aren’t much into women, are they?

I am in my 50s and did not grow up in the age wear adults wore jackets or dresses to the doctors office or on a plane, I am also not a stick in the mud, tend to be libertarian, and did not grow up someplace rural. I basically live where the Sopranos was filmed. Having said all that, I am stunned at the freak show this country has become.

Sent pictures of his wang to his female coworkers?
I find it really hard to believe a guy could make it as far as Bolling has and be that stupid.

Wow Foxnews you are self destructing before our eyes. I’m sure OAN is very happy with your stupid decisions as we look to them to be our next news source...

“...OAN...”

I would love to switch to OAN but our only cable choice is Time Warner who does not carry OAN.

Any FReeper suggestions out there?

Fox is basically unwatchable.

If I installed an dish would I be able to get OAN?

DirecTV Now carries OAN. $35/mo, unless you have the AT&T unlimited cell plan, in which case it is $10.

You’ll need a Roku, Fire TV or Apple TV and high speed internet.

My wife’s parents lived just off Mountain Ave. in the 60s-90s. Wife went to West Essex High, her folks were teachers there.

The absence of a fair hearing before condemnation is more and more common since the Clinton presidential years. Give Eric at least a fair hearing with counsel present.

FoxNews by their actions toward Bowling and hiring this Leftist law firm to investigate is obviously using any pretext to get rid of all conservatives. Sorry FoxNews, but your fingerprints are all over this purge. The Murdock sons are disgusting. They don’t have the balls to straight out fire conservatives, they have to use liberal smears against them to destroy their reputations first!

Get an Amazon Firestick, OAN is an app on it and you can subscribe for $5.00 per month.

What bothers me is that these women have done this before. Been “victims” of sexual harassment. There is something not quite right about it. Most men don’t move forward with actions unless there is some kind of encouragement.

There are a lot more conservatives left, than you think, and I am sticking with Fox News. If I don’t like something I know how to use the mute button which you obviously don’t
