Fox News Hosts Opt to Leave Network If Roger Ailes Is Forced Out (all against Megyn Kelly)

Fox News' ratings-rich prime time lineup and dozens of contributors are reportedly willing to walk out the door in solidarity with embattled CEO Roger Ailes — and against Megyn Kelly.

According to Breitbart News, hosts Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, Shepard Smith, Bret Baier, Eric Bolling, Neil Cavuto, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Laura Ingraham, Geraldo Rivera, Juan Williams, Jeanine Pirro, Bo Dietl, Monica Crowley, as well as the "Fox & Friends" hosts, would be agreeable to leave if Ailes is forced out. In addition, at least 50 Fox News contributors would also be inclined to leave, Breitbart reports.

The Financial News already reported that O'Reilly, Hannity and Susteren all had clauses in their contracts allowing them to walk if Ailes left, but the latest development indicates Kelly's allegation of being sexually harassed by Ailes has opened a rift at the beleaguered network. Latest News Update

"If Fox wants to become the 'all about Megyn Network,' that's fine," an unnamed Fox News host tells Breitbart News. "We stand with Roger. And real anger has emerged that the so-called Megyn incident happened 10 years ago. The consensus among the hosts and contributors is: 'Why didn't she say anything then? Really, the same woman that posed half naked in GQ? The same woman on Howard Stern saying what?'" Special: Breitbart News quotes another unnamed Fox News Channel host saying: "If Megyn Kelly wants to leave, we are fine with that. Good riddance."

Ailes, who is facing a lawsuit by fired "Fox & Friends" host Gretchen Carlson that he sexually harassed her, is reportedly negotiating a departure from the network.

Lori Duhe... She always looked like a porn star to me. Maybe it was her name too?

I’m sure they will join all of the celebrities that left the country when W was elected.

An inquiring mind wanders wonders if this was orchestrated intentionally by the left to damage Fox News?

Megyn Kelly wants to dress like the corner hooker but gets offended if a man notices.

The bias in USA media comes because they project viewpoints and propaganda of liberal commie east Europeans, not legacy Americans. Many are only one generation removed from the fundamental PC beliefs of the Soviet Union.

As Michael Savage says “ If they all stopped dressing like call girls, men would leave them alone.”

Ha! That is funny. Savage is great.

"I haven’t watched Faux for a long time so none of it matters to me."

It makes on wonder why you're commenting about it, then.

One night, years ago, if I am remembering correctly, Laurie Dhue was doing a show with (I think) Geraldo. At the end of the show she looked at the camera and made a comment about her black thigh high hose which made me and hubby gasp. We were shocked as it appeared that she was giving someone a blatant on air sexual signal. We didn’t really see her after that so it appeared that she was canned not long after. Mr. Ailes need to find that tape. She was completely out of line.

I haven’t watched for years because I found the whole cable news format to be stale. Talking heads yelling at each other in an echo chamber. Very few of the talking heads have any expertise in anything and fewer meaningfully add to a debate. Worse, it is all agenda driven.
