Fox News' ratings-rich prime time lineup and dozens of contributors are reportedly willing to walk out the door in solidarity with embattled CEO Roger Ailes — and against Megyn Kelly.
According to Breitbart News, hosts Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, Shepard Smith, Bret Baier, Eric Bolling, Neil Cavuto, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Laura Ingraham, Geraldo Rivera, Juan Williams, Jeanine Pirro, Bo Dietl, Monica Crowley, as well as the "Fox & Friends" hosts, would be agreeable to leave if Ailes is forced out. In addition, at least 50 Fox News contributors would also be inclined to leave, Breitbart reports.
The Financial News already reported that O'Reilly, Hannity and Susteren all had clauses in their contracts allowing them to walk if Ailes left, but the latest development indicates Kelly's allegation of being sexually harassed by Ailes has opened a rift at the beleaguered network. Latest News Update
"If Fox wants to become the 'all about Megyn Network,' that's fine," an unnamed Fox News host tells Breitbart News. "We stand with Roger. And real anger has emerged that the so-called Megyn incident happened 10 years ago. The consensus among the hosts and contributors is: 'Why didn't she say anything then? Really, the same woman that posed half naked in GQ? The same woman on Howard Stern saying what?'" Special: Breitbart News quotes another unnamed Fox News Channel host saying: "If Megyn Kelly wants to leave, we are fine with that. Good riddance."
Ailes, who is facing a lawsuit by fired "Fox & Friends" host Gretchen Carlson that he sexually harassed her, is reportedly negotiating a departure from the network.

I haven’t watched Faux for a long time so none of it matters to me. Is Greta still talking about the Scott Peterson murder case?

I agree. The Michelle fields of fox.
Me-Again is preparing her red lingerie outfit as we speak!
As Michael Savage says “ If they all stopped dressing like call girls, men would leave them alone.”
Reminds me of Dylan ... "If my thought-dreams could be seen ..."
Everything is 180 degrees!
I noticed this all went down with her ratings fail with Trump interview.
Regardless of any superficial reasons presented for what’s happening at this strategically timed FOX news event, skullduggery is afoot. This isn’t just happening at this time for some inane BS reason. It’s calculated, and it’s in favor of the left. It’s the Clintons again. It’s the Democrats again. Anything to win.
We’ll just have to fight harder.
Is this like all the FBI agents resigning after no indictment?
LOL! NewsMax is being a little transparent. I wish them well in their endeavor — Fox need some healthy competition from the right — but NewsMax commenting on anchors leaving Fox News is like the guy who’s holding a torch for your hot girlfriend telling her why other girls broke up with you.
Color me skeptical.
actually i’m pretty sure you are incorrect. there was nothing about sexual harassment with Doocy - something about a “hostile” work environment. check it out.
Meghn needs to go home and take a long, hard look at herself in the mirror.
TNN Great concept! Controlling “news” is how we got to this insanity with all the cartels in charge of “government” and money, who control what all MSM can say, so they can control all “perceptions” of Reality, so Up will be Down.
As Solzhenitsyn stated in 78 Harvard Commencement Speech......American “free press” is worse than Pravda. The 24/7 agitprop needs to end so we don’t have a mass of useful, dumb, irrational idiots who “think” Jenner is a woman.
Megyn allegedly told her attorneys that Ailes simply mentioned she was dressed sexy and then she got offended and said she had been ‘sexually harrassed’ on the job...
Brit Hume staying to carry the torch.
BS
That is a lot of money to leave on a gamble...
Yep. Once in a while I have a lucid thought! :)
