I’m not a social justice warrior. Far from it. Just don’t feel like high fiving ignorant disrespectful yahoo comments that are an insult and an embarrassment to decent people on this site.

But then would you even know the difference?

Shame on you!

Ailes has the security of long-accumulated power, position, money, smarts, influence and the best lawyers in the world.

Looks to me like he'll fight Gretchen tooth and nail in court...and he won't pre-settle right now because he would have done it prior to the filing of the suit and the public airing of same.

At his age and with his pile of dough, he'll be fighting for his name, nothing else. She's going to have an uphill battle...I DO admire her guts.

The DirecTV guide still shows her show with her name on it, but she’s been replaced with “The Boob Monster” (aka Kimberly Guilfoyle).

Kimberly is one of the few good things to come out of San Francisco in the last 50 years.

I for one wouldn't mind seeing more of Kimberly but who will replace her in "THE LEG CHAIR" on The Five?.

Her departure would leave some BIG shoes to fill.....

I agree that she’s good-looking, but she’s not a spring chicken.

Heather Childers is a way hotter middle aged cougar than Gretchen Carlson could ever dream of being ;p

There is more to her complaint. I am reading it http://www.gretchencarlson.com/ - She complains about Steve Doocy too, but for belittling her etc

It sounds like it was as much about hatred and Roger throwing his weight around than about sex.

In other words, as much about abuse or harassment pure and simple as about sexual abuse or harassment.

You can see some of that in Gretchen's feud -- or whatever it was -- with Miss America judge William Goldman, who really couldn't stand her and went public with it in a book.

True, it can be hard to separate out the gender aspect, but I can't say whether Ailes really wanted sex or just didn't like Carlson and had the power to give her a hard time about it.

Gretchen Carlson Sues Fox News Boss, Alleging Sexual Harassment Before Firing
Breitbart
http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2016/07/06/gretchen-carlson-sues-roger-ailes-alleging-sexual-harassment-firing/

Former Fox News Channel anchor Gretchen Carlson is suing network chief executive Roger Ailes, claiming she was fired after refusing his sexual advances. Fox News representatives did not immediately return requests for comment on the lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in Superior Court in New Jersey’s Bergen County. Carlson, the former host of a daytime show at Fox, alleged a pattern of discriminatory behavior at Fox. She says she was fired in June. She says that happened nine months after Ailes told her that “you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago.” The 50-year-old Carlson was Miss America in 1989. She spent 11 years at Fox.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Liar.

Quick, SJW, tell me more on how offended you are so that I may offend you more.

Because I was giving little love taps to Gretchen before. I COULD call her some of the names you reserved for other Fox News babes, since she made her money the same way they’re doing now. Seven-figure-a-year salary to wiggle and smile and stick out her rack and flash the audience:

https://i2.ytimg.com/vi/YPbBMi638zA/0.jpg

And now she’s screaming “HARRASSMENT” just as the gravy train is leaving the station.

We’ve (FR collectively, that is) seen this type of thing before, ever since the Anita Hill fiasco. It’s always the same story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just don’t feel like high fiving ignorant disrespectful yahoo comments that are an insult and an embarrassment to decent people on this site.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well don’t. Get out of such threads and stay out, instead of trolling, Ms. OCD-riddled SJW Hillary-voter.

You’re not decent, you’re a hypersensitive little snot who needed discipline as a child, instead of participation trophies and unwarranted, unearned self-esteem boosts, Special Snowflake.

Go get sexually harrassed, if you can. It’s difficult for ancient landwhales, but there’s got to be some “decent” guy out there who’ll rub up on you and pinch your enormous behind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shame on you!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not ashamed! You failed, like you did when you signed up here.

YOU should be ashamed of your hypocrisy.
