Say It Isn’t So: Fox News Wracked By New Potential Sex Scandal

The dominoes continue to fall at the Fox News channel (FNC). Last month, popular Fox Business channel host and Fox News channel occasional anchor and guest Charles Payne was suspended after allegations that he sexually harassed a frequent female guest on FNC with whom he admitted to having had a sexual relationship. A Fox News spokesperson confirmed last week that Payne remains on suspension.

Now it is Eric Bolling who is the target:

I like Bolling, but his statement through his attorney seems wishy washy. He says Bolling doesn’t RECALL sending any messages like that. If I were innocent, I’d say I did not send those photos.

I don’t buy it about him either. He is super careful in his language, humor, and shows respect for women, even idiot women like the two air-heads that are “co-hosting” this latest debacle. (Those women are “Specialists” in saying stupid stuff.) Someone like Kimberly G. would have called him out on it immediately and I just don’t think this is true. If so, it may be a case of real phone-hacking, like Weiner falsely claimed during his first offense. Eric is too ambitious and too clearly in awe of his wife to do something so reckless.

Bolling’s denial is weak at best.

"I think it’s just the shifting sands of political correctness vis-a-vis sexual harassment. It’s become weaponized and everybody wants their 15 minutes."

Fathers teach your sons well. Even sophomoric behavior influenced by testosterone that was tolerated a few years ago too often leads to legal problems at school and work in this day and age. Decency and respect go a long way. As to Mr. Bolling, I pray that he is innocent but only time will tell.

Doesn’t say it was HIS genitalia. Probably a joke being passed around.

Yes, and people like Hannity and Tucker need to be on the lookout for honey trap schemes set up by their enemies or even their top management. Sad.

I just noticed the ID by phone number. Easy to spoof that.

Agreed. Her story doesn’t make sense. Sexual harassment usually involves someone who has power over another such as supervisory authority. None in his case.

We own our own business and the other day my husband got a call on his cell phone that the caller ID said was our office number. He thought it was me calling him, but it was a damned salesman. He was PISSED! So yes. You are correct. You can make it look like a call or text is coming from anyone.

If true about Bolling, it certainly wouldn’t be any of the females he appears with at 5 pm. That is the worst show EVER on FOX. They should get rid of the females and let Eric do the show by himself. I cannot watch those women. I don’t know who put that group together but it doesn’t work. Nor does putting Marie Harf on ANY FOX show. Have they all lost their minds at FOX? My time spent watching FOX anymore might total 15 minutes per day when it used to take up a good portion during the day and in the evenings. I miss O’Reilly and bless Hannity but I can’t take his monologue so I tune out before he gets to any of his guests.
I don’t want to hear a rehash of the days events when they were maddening enough the first time around.

Something had to give. The Fox bimbettes skirts kept getting shorter and shorter and eventually some weak men became dogs. I don’t condone sexual harassment. They could do naked news and I still would think no man should act like a horndog. It’s disgusting to say the least and the culture at Fox has led to this. BTW, I am sure some of these women have culpability when it comes to affairs in the workplace.

Yep. My friend in the EEO office has warned me about the “Skin and Grin” women.

Curious why Bolling’s lawyer says his client “doesn’t *believe* he sent any ...”??

Wouldn’t your lawyer not want to cast any doubt, and want your client to be *CERTAIN*?

A very nasty saying was told to me one time. When I just started my career after college, and it goes like this: Don’t stick your d#@k where you eat your lunch.

All males who have ears ought to hear.

My take away from the Charles Payne thing is that it was a completely mutual affair. Bad judgment, but NOT sexual harassment.

she said he said she said -

got any pics?

they’re going to pic ‘em off, one at a time -

this may be why he’s the latest?

“...reported that Bolling is eyeing the possibility of running for the U.S. Senate from New Jersey. It has also been reported that President Donald J. Trump is a fan of Bolling, and vice versa.”

It’s a scary world when anyone can make an accusation about something that purportedly happened years ago - and without one scintilla of evidence- and ruin a career. If true and they were so disturbed, why didn’t they report it then? Good gravy, you can pull off the bank robbery of the century and if caught one day after the 7 year statute of limitations, no case.

How easy to get rid of the competition,,,,No one should be allowed to blithely make such accusations without rock solid evidence. He should just slap a suit on them.

I’m glad I’m in my 80’s and live back in the woods again. But I so fear for my kids and grandkids
