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).

He has to deny and come full force with a 100 million dollar lawsuit. This will start scaring off this garbage.

>> I find it really hard to believe a guy could make it as far as Bolling has and be that stupid <<

Yeah, but Anthony Weiner was arguably even more successful than Bolling.

Just shows that stupid is as stupid does.

What harm is done by sending a “picture” of a human body part to an adult?

What’s the big deal?

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?”

OAN is available on Roku for $4.95/month. Very good.

I have had Directv for 23 years and never had any unresolved problems.

This doesn’t seem like something EB would do. We do know that something’s rotten at Faux News, what with them going after Trump supporters. Why didn’t this come out sooner? Likely this is timed in order to have just one more shoe fall in the saga.

Speaking of AW... it’s possible that Bolling re-texted the pic that Weiner had texted to that person way back when. Could be that EB had that pic captured - though it was supposedly deleted - and his colleagues requested it.

I have had Direct TV for many years. Cable is not an option for me.

I do have a lot of problems with Direct TV, but for me it’s the only game in town.

I do get a great picture and all the programming you could want, except when it pours rain or they fail to send me schedule information which makes it impossible to see what’s on or for it to record previously scheduled programs.

Resetting the receiver takes more than 5 minutes. I have to reset it often and it automatically resets itself often.

It’s expensive.

Availability of recent movies is limited.

My association with Direct TV is a “love/hate relationship” at best.

You would have to decide if it’s worth it for you.

Oh, and yes, I get OANN. (When it’s not raining)

OAN is avaiable streaming for $5 per month.
I watched it on election night and it was a pleasure.
Love OAN.
Been streaming ever since. No cable, no satellite. Saving money. Will never go back!

I always mute him when he is on. He had a show last Saturday a week ago. I turned my TV off before he came on.

I can't stand Shep Smith either, but don't mind if someone else is hosting it, like Harris Faukner, or Rick Leventhal are hosting it.

I was in a department store the other day and a tranny worked the counter. I am a live and let live kind of guy, but he/she made me uncomfortable. It got pissed. I feel I have the right to be uncomfortable
