The crumbling lawsuit against Fox News
The Spectator USA ^ | July 21, 2020 3:27 PM | Amber Athey

Posted on 07/22/2020 10:01:36 AM PDT by Texas Fossil

The new lawsuit filed by two women against Fox News and several of its personalities is riddled with inaccuracies. This raises questions about the veracity of its claims. Jennifer Eckhart and Cathy Areu, a former Fox Business producer and frequent network guest, respectively, claim that they suffered sexual misconduct, harassment, and even rape at the hands of Ed Henry, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Howard Kurtz.

The lawsuit immediately made waves in the mainstream media, where it was picked up by the New York Times, CNN, the Washington Post, CBS News, and other major outlets. It has been a top trending topic on Twitter since its filing. However, a review of several claims made in the suit reveals many basic inaccuracies. A lawyer for Eckhart and Areu admitted to The Spectator that errors were made in the filing, and The Spectator has learned that Carlson’s wife was with him the evening Areu claims that he told her he would be alone.

Areu, who claims that she was sexually harassed by Carlson, says that her last appearance on Carlson’s program in 2018 was prior to ‘the annual Christmas party’, which has been reported by other outlets as referring to the network’s party. According to Areu, ‘the show was filmed live in New York City and Mr Carlson was in New York City at the studio.’

Fox News’s 2018 Christmas party took place on December 10, 2018, according to social media posts from multiple FNC employees.

Not sure. I thought I read she was only on Fox a few times.

"The mental illness radiates off her like heat from a radiator."

Great metaphor and precisely accurate. Those crazy eyes...

I do think I’m thinking Cathy Areu is the chick with thyroid eyes that was often brought on as the libtard voice. I saw her on Neil’s show several times too. She is dumb as hell.

[[What was Tucker thinking having her on his program]]

He was probably ordered to have her on the show- not sure how it works- whether he’s in full control of who appears or not-

[[Ongoing mistake thinking being nice to these haters will make them your friends. ]]

Absolutely- Fox’s whole ‘fair and balanced’ nonsense is just that- nonsense- the other networks don’t do fair and balanced- hardly- but fox thinks that they can play nice with the left and gain support from them? If so they are delusional- time and time again- the left prove what wild animals they really are- just waiting for a chance to sneak attack the ones being nice to them-

I always thought “Bug Eyes’’ Areu was off the rails. “You were always spoiled with a thousand toys/and still you cried all night..’’

That’s why we have Juan Williams

He's why God invented the "MUTE" button on the remote. Works every time.

if Tucker ever left FNC, I think I would cancel by subscription to Fox News.

I wish somebody would sue Fox and Hannity to keep his mouth shut when a guest is talking.

She was the fool who was on to comment on some kind of stupid study that said that babies were supposed to be asked if they wanted to be changed. And she actually insisted that the study was correct. And I thought to myself that she's even dumber than Juan Williams who always spews the lib line.

Tucker had her on once in a while, and I really don't know why he'd have her on except to showcase her stupidity and comic relief. She was kinda' cute though.

Fox is still the best when it comes to MSM networks. Their ownership has changed, but they are not totally Globalist Left in orientation.

I’ve now subscribed to OAN yet, but may.

What happened to her? Someone paid her to bring the lawsuit, just before the election.

She will succeed in shooting herself in the foot, or some other body part.

Yes, but it does have an impact. That is why they continue to do it.

It is hard fora politician to win a liable lawsuit. A commentator? They can win a lawsuit, but it is difficult.

I subscribe to OAN. They are very good. Gives equal time to conservative viewpoint.

It is the seriousness of the charge that is important. Not whether it is true of not.

Areu is so damn unattractive and annoying. How could any man go near her?

She showed signs of Borderline Personality disorder. I remember her as being psychologically unstable when I saw her on Tucker’s program.
