Charles Payne who has anchored programs on Fox Business Network since its launch in the middle of last decade, has been suspended from his duties at the 21st Century Fox owned cable-news outlet as the company investigates sexual harassment allegations made against him.

[ilovesarah2012]

He had an affair. I am so disappointed.

[JudyinCanada]

Oh no. I really like him. I also am disappointed.

[wastoute]

For what? For all we know he fell in a libtards honey trap. The “old Badger Game”.

[rstrahan]

Real or fake? Men are guilty until...they are still guilty.

[avital2]

i think i will wait for the facts to come out. he denies. i like Charles so much - i owe him fairness.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

If, and a BIG IF, he had an affair, chances are it was consensual! My feeling is the Murdoch boys don’t know what to do with a smart, successful, black conservative host!

[hoosiermama]

He’s been doing double duty all holiday week Must have been very recent.

[PhiloBedo]

At least MSNBC doesn’t let their anchors personal lives determine their professional standing (if you can call Joe and Mika professionals)

[reasonisfaith]

The law of probability points to likelihood of false accusation.

[PhiloBedo]

and yet Shep Smith can be a flaming sodomite, and that’s cool with Fox.

[Bryanw92]

>>Real or fake? Men are guilty until...they are still guilty.

Yep. That’s the reality we live in today.

But if you take precautions like VP Pence, you are a Neanderthal and a Puritanical Prude and they try to make some case that he violates EEO laws by not ever being alone with a woman who isn’t his wife.

We literally can’t win.

[Malcolm Reynolds]

If true, I hope it was worth it. The woman in the ESPN Steve Phillips affair certainly wasn’t. I’m being sarcastic, of course.

[Truth29]

Hmm, another conservative targeted and a black success story as well. Will wait to see the facts, but I suspect there was no harassment and lefties at Fox not held to the same standard.

[Theoria]

Ouch...so many puns with Mr. Payne....especially on the penny stocks issue and affair...

[lightman]

We literally can’t win....without becoming eunuchs.

[dgbrown]

Guess I’ll stick to being a prude. Never stick your pen in the company ink. The odds of something good coming of it is very slim. Odds of it going bad— very good. Don’t love my job but I need it.

[dforest]

Yeah, the crummier, sleazier, sluttier they are, the more MSNBC likes them.

[hoosiermama]

Conservatibe AFrican American Veteran with a target on his back. I agree
Investigate. He said. She said. (Who is her lawyer)

[Osage Orange]

I've no idea who this is...

Don't watch T.V.....

And I watch the stock market...everyday.

All you men should follow VP Pence's advice regarding being alone with strange women.
