Roger is evidently an idiot.
Two others, unnamed, appear to also be getting settlement packages

Some of the specifics were pretty disgusting. I’d say $20m is cheap and Ailes was a horn dog.
Did Ailes receive a golden parachute/buyout resignation?
Unbelievable...that was easy.
Ailes should be in jail. He is a sexual predator.
And to think...I didn’t sleep with Roger Ailes for free....boy was I stupid.
My son is a Newscorp employee (not Fox news but another branch) and apparently Ailes’ predilections were an open secret.
She and Greta signed a contract at MSNBC.
Andrea, Gretchen, Maria, Greta, Anna....

By Alex Weprin on Aug. 23, 2013
In the world of TV news, NBC “Today” co-anchor Matt Lauer leads the way, drawing an estimated $22-25 million every year. The highest-paid anchor on ABC News is “ABC World News” anchor Diane Sawyer, who pulls in an estimated $12 million a year, while “CBS Evening News” anchor Scott Pelley leads that network with $5 million a year.
On cable, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly is king, drawing an estimated $17 million a year, while MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow leads her channel with a $7 million a year deal. CNN’s Anderson Cooper tops that channel with an estimated $10 million a year deal.
Other notable names: Megyn Kelly’s new deal is estimated to be worth $6 million a year, twice what Hoda Kotb draws, and more than three times as much as ABC’s Josh Elliott. Ann Curry is still one of the highest-paid reporters at NBC, drawing $5 million a year, while Sarah Palin’s new FNC contract is believed to be in the $250,000 range.
Depended on Ailes stamina and the little blue pills.

I hate to say it, but Roger Ailes was clearly doing inappropriate things. No business offers a $20M settlement AND a public apology to make a nuisance suit go away. Carlson clearly had a damning case.
FOX News is imploding.
I don’t believe for one minute that any network news or cable news network is worth their collective subscription fees and advertising revenues.
There are too many similarities in overall objectives, narratives and little to no hard hitting or substantive news/investigations being done in American journalism anymore.
I don’t believe it’s at all due to cut budgets, bad journalists or incapable researchers. I believe it’s the fact that the media/political machine is so intertwined and so inbred that they just don’t want to publicize what is well known within their collective universes.
It’s going to take, yet another, startup news source to seriously make a dent in the establishment which, sadly, FOX News is now a part of.
I don’t see it coming from anyone save Breitbart (Which would likely skip the shrinking/dying cable model.) or Newsmax in the US. The Daily Mail in the UK seems capable of challenging the status quo but I don’t know enough about British media to say how likely they are at moving beyond print/digital reporting into video or in depth reporting.
I could write a book on the sad state of American journalism but then again, so could the majority of Americans.
She was a bimbo, went on nonsensical tirades, once said that she was TRILLED that army/marines was going to integrate women and she saw firsthand that women were able to do everything the men did.
To me, she came off as a phenomenally naive, not that pretty, hick.
I would think 6 1/2 years. Not worth being sexually harassed or worse. Roger is nasty but he did run a decent network for awhile.
So, are females liberated and independent enough to QUIT at the first sign of being wronged, or DO THEY STAY AT THEIR JOB like the helpless creatures they are for over 10 years and endure sexual harassment? The latter results in HUGE payouts, so THERE'S YOUR ANSWER!
I have seen this at work with my own eyes. One day she's a helpless butterfly waiting for you to open the door for her. The next, she's a strong determined feminist who can do it herself!
Which is it, ladies? Uhh, I mean 'females'?
Tantaros also in for a big pay day. She’s accused Ailes of the same thing. Greta announced today she’s leaving Fox. One by one all the conservatives are leaving. She’s being replaced by resident RINO relic and Trump hater Brit Hume. Should have given the job to Bolling, Shannon Bream or Jesse Watters, all conservatives, but the job went to a RINO snob no one likes. Fox’s merge with MSNBC continues. If I were Hannity, Dobbs or Judge Jeanine I’d be getting nervous.
$20M? Quick, somebody harass me.
