I wouldn't mind it if FOX put them up against each other on Celebrity Deathmatch

An internal memo, obtained exclusively by LawNewz.com, could become a sticking point in a lawsuit filed by former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson against Fox Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes. In her lawsuit, Carlson’s most damning claim is that during a September 2015 meeting in Ailes’ office, he stated to her: “I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you’d be good and better and I’d be good and better.” She then claims that following the meeting, in retaliation for her opposition to his advances, he denied her opportunities including “severely curtailing her appearances as a guest commentator on prime time shows” and “blocking her from appearing as a substitute host on prime time or daytime panel shows.” However, a memo, provided to us by Fox News, paints a different picture. Just days after the September 16, 2015 meeting, Ailes apparently told Bill Shine, the head of programming, to give it “another chance.” Ailes even suggested that he would be open to putting Carlson back on her time slot with primetime host Bill O’Reilly.
In the memo, Ailes also pushes for Carlson to appear on Fox & Friends for a promo segment and to promote her on Fox radio. The memo seems to have been prompted by a “Thank You” letter that Carlson apparently wrote following the September 16, 2015 office meeting.
“Thanks for meeting with me last week. I’m happy my show continues to do well and that you are open to help me like a show like ‘Outnumbered’ with promotion and media PR to really see what I can do,” she wrote. Here is her full letter below:
Gretchen Carlson Note to Roger Ailes 9/21/2015
Ailes’ defense team will likely use this memo as evidence that he didn’t try to sabotage her career following their September meeting. It is not clear what evidence that Carlson has or if she maintains a recording of what Ailes said to her. However, Carlson’s lawyer told Politico that they are “very confident” in their evidence.
Following the lawsuit, Ailes has vigorously denied Carlson’s claims that he sexually harassed her — saying they are “offensive, wholly without merit.” Carlson has stuck by her allegations, and her attorneys claim more women have come forward with similar claims.
In this context it would be a flaw. These people are actually promoting a brand and their brand is themselves and what they bring to the table to help promote the company as a whole. The competition is extremely stiff. It's especially hard on the females because father time can sometimes not be as kind as he is to the men. It's sad that it's like that but our society does promote attractiveness over homeliness every time.
The country is falling apart and we’re worried about this crazy lady and the drama she creates?
I say bring anybody on but that tool Shep Smith. Well, maybe not Megyn Kelly She is insufferable, too.
I never liked her.

Because that's how humans talk.
You’ve got my vote.
BINGO! You win the internet today.
I stopped watching Fox over a year ago and now I watch BBC for a laugh
I don’t think so. Many women have come forward detailing his play for pay harassment, including one 16 year old (adult now) describing his genitals like raw hamburger. Now we know why Fox always had the hottest women, probably also the sluttiest.
Looks like whenever Ailes dropped trou for Limbaugh, he was only too happy to grab the tartare, or drop the amnesty subject...
I hated Gretchen’s show, boring as all get-out. She sounds like a needy person in that letter. Do we have any handwriting analysts here?
(At first, I meant the word "models" in the figurative sense, but I guess for Fox, the literal sense is right as well.)
Get a grip....Stated as opinion, not as fact: “She probably “did ailes a Monica”
What a lot of people have been thinking, and you really need to google MeAgain and Howard Stern. Along with pictures of her past persona.
You are welcome.
Perhaps. . .but given a choice, I’d pick her over Shep any day.
It was a really trashy comment, most people on here would not have made it. But hey, you seem proud of it, so white trash away!
you opine: “We know why Kelly is where she is, she got her job at FNC because of Brett Hume, and her new contract was probably because she did ‘ailes a Monica’...”
****************************************
Really? And you ‘know” this how?
I say ‘opine’ because opine and ‘know’ can be chasms apart.
Kelly isn’t a blond bimbo that had to sleep her way to the top. Or do you ‘know’ that a woman can’t possibly rise up her profession without a man - to whom she gives favors?
Kelly has paid hers dues - through education, degrees and hard work. At least, that can be “opined” on FROM her record.
I am amazed at how many people, even Freepers, so cavalierly impute a person’s reputation on the WORLD WIDE WEB - where it NEVER goes away - and is there for all to see, FOREVER, even kids and grandkids.
I find that reprehensible.
(Kelly’s fist description of herself on her Twitter page is : “Happily married to Doug, crazy in love with my children Yates, Yardley, and Thatcher, ...” which indicates that is the most important part of her life - and having chosen to have 3 small kids in the past 8 years would seem to corroborate this.
Myself, I tend to thinks she’s just maybe a good person. Of course, that’s only my ‘opinion” - I do not know here or her family - so I can’t “KNOW.”
I also don’t ‘know’ if YOU know her and her family personally - and therefore aren’t just opining under a false assertion of knowing. So, if I’m wrong. humble apologies...

re free channels -
I had my satellite TV turned off years ago - get everything free online, Mostly on tvpc - including FOX
You know what, I say what I feel...if it isn’t the way you feel, fine...you don’t always say what I feel...fine...that’s life...take your ‘pearls’ and go grab them somewhere else...
Kelly is exactly what I said she is, and from what people that DO know Carlson, say she is what they say she is...tough...do I care? Am I working around them, are you? Am I going to have dinner with them? Are You?
Get over it, deal with it and life GOES ON!!!
Well, ‘Lady” (?) you just proved my take of your nasty remarks re Kelly -
and you cement your misconceptions of yourself in your post to “leaning conservative” - in her response to you nasty post thusly:
“I don’t and neither do you...people don’t have a sense of humor anymore, and your not as ‘Christian’ as I am so what’s YOUR point... If you had one, your reply would have made sense and it didn’t...try again, I’m sure you’ll find your footing somewhere in life!!!”
“as ‘Christian’ as I am ...”???
A Christian doesn’t besmirch someone else’s reputation on the open net - where it can be seen by everyone and anyone - FOREVER - and....con’t. in my post to you. link below.
(OH, and read my tag line, it’s meant for people like you.)
