This is horrible news

The younger Murdochs are all libs much more than dad and don’t appreciate the cash cow Ailes was

I’ve feared this day

Back to all lib networks again

Lib networks far worse than 50 years ago which was bad enough

Ailes and his good friend Rush could team up, on this new network ;-)

I consider it a challenge. “How long can I watch this before yelling at the TV, shaking my head, or screaming?”

I stopped listening to RushRINO many moons ago - can never trust him again.

That said...

I’d love to see Ailes come back and crush FOXRinoNetwork - esp with OANN already established.

WHo cares, but I don’t see this as a good thing for FNC, the Murdock children are idiots from all accounts.

I've taken to watching MSNBC. At least I know they're liberals and leftists and not simply hiding behind a false moniker like much of Fox.

I can understand watching a Leftist show for a few min in order to see what the enemy is saying but that's about as much as I could take. In the rare times I watch TV news I switch between Fox and CNN. Online I get news from a range of sources. Definitely one should not just get their news from one place. There is too much bias everywhere.

Thank God. I was worried.

Sorry, I couldn’t help it :)

If she wasn’t willing to discuss this and stands up for herself before, then she really should back out of the conversation. At this point it just sounds slanderous.

Ailes is 75 years old at least. He would be out in 2018 after his contract anyway. He will be paid off and Carlson will be as well.

As for Sexual Harassment, it is often a spurious claim, but it is often a way women get back at their male counterparts and bosses.

I just have to wonder after all these years, why now? It doesn’t make sense does it? If Alies is really this way, then these women need to come forward when it happens, not years later...

When Walter Cronkite said, “That’s the way it is!”, the American people truly believed. They had a lot to learn.

Newsmax reported this morning that bloody Megyn said he had once propositioned her. Don’t know why she said that because it’s a known fact that he hired her without any credentials whatsoever except a pair of long legs. And no doubt in my mind that she gets 15 million a year, yes 15 million a year, because Ailes did a hell of a lot more than proposition here.
