“In Jail for what, acting like a horn dog?”
Acting like a felon demanding sex from employees. Screw you if you think that is appropriate behavior. If my wife said you did that to her you wouldn’t survive the encounter.
Yea they were and their comments about Gretchen were down right disgusting.............
Can't say I'm not surprised tho........
Not arguing that Ailes may be the biggest A Hole this side of Obama.
I asked you what Laws he broke that would require him to be Incarcerated. Sued for Sexual Harassment, fine. YOU said he should be locked up.
Don’t start with the Personal crap with me. If he did that to your Wife, you can go beat the crap out of him for all I care or just SUE HIM.
Take a chill pill Pal.
Alright who has a salary cut or a job loss to pay the 20 million out? Something has to be cut to pay Gretchen the money.
Yes, locked up. Get over it. I know you think you’re a tough guy and words don’t hurt, but too bad for any wife or daughter of yours if they run into similar circumstances.
“Kickass Conservative”?? BS. There is nothing kickass about you, Lameass. All talk, no action.
What is with you? I asked you what Law was broken that would get Ailes locked up and you still refuse to answer.
Instead you include me in your fantasy scenario in your earlier response to me and say IF I was your Wife’s Boss you would harm me if I acted like Roger Ailes?
Do you attack anyone here this viciously who dares to ask you to explain what you Posted?
What do you mean “all talk, no action”?
Action regarding what, Posting an Opinion on Free Republic?
When did I say I was a “tough guy”. Geez man, calm down.
I will copy the Moderator on this Post to see if you are violating the FR Terms of Use. You are way out of bounds.
“You are way out of bounds.”
Sissy.
“What the hell did Ailes do? Pat her on the butt?”
Tried to extort her employment for sex.
my thoughts too.
20 MILLION, WOW.
Never liked her, nor that accent, and cackle of hers.
Another one who got insulted easy if one put down beauty pageants.
That much money , good grief.
AGREED
WTF did FNC settle? I always thought Gretchen was lying after seeing all those notes she wrote to Ailes!!
Probably cause FOX News makes Billions in profits a year & just wanted to settle to make this headache go away!
..........indeed, she, like many, parades around in dresses so short her crotch shows (see videos), and tops cut so low, well you know.
So, it’s ok for very attractive women to flaunt it and show it to all but not ok for some guy to take notice to her verbally. As far tying the notice he took to her job, and the words he said, that’s a tried and true scare tactic and the Murdoch’s bought it, or knuckled under to it.
Some think she was just old and washed up. So, now TV must hire women imperpetuity for fear of getting sued for twenty million for not renewing a contract???
I always liked Gretchen but there is a lot of room for doubt on this one, in my opinion.
I know someone is going to tell me “theres tapes”. Good, let’s hear them. Did he touch her, or are we talking about “words” back and forth between two very mature adults?
Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. 20 million? For what?
Roger Ailes got $40 million to just go away in his severance package. 21st Century Fox is a multi-billion dollar company. In 2015 they had $29 Billion in revenue.The $60 million that they are paying to Carlson and Ailes is probably kept in petty cash.
Fox quickly settled out of court precisely to make sure that you will never onow the answers to your questions.
Ailes got $40 million to resign.
Monica should have sued and claimed harassment. She had DNA evidence. Instead Bill kept his job and Hillary ruined her life. Not that she should have been screwing around with a married man but Bill was known for this.
Everyone has their price...
I watch Fox Business News. It was Neil Cavuto’s first day back after surgery yesterday. They appear to be a team there, and a very organized one, starting with Maria, then Varney (Number One in his time s!ot!), now back to Neal, then Trish Reagan, Lou Dobbs. Missing a few. But who doesn’t love Dagan?
