    You mean the network that tells it's female employees that their boss has the right to tell them that they have to wear short skirts and specifically panders to 70 year old men has a female employee reporting sexual harassment? WUT!?!

    I thought that was part of their contract...where you work by rules and norms of the 1950s, the Good Ol Days clause.

    Sexual harassment happens at TV Hooters News? Well, yes it does. Of course it does. O'Reilly already settled after being caught on tape.

    the old fart is a repeat offender


    While an executive at NBC, Ailes was accused of making sexually suggestive comments to various female underlings, according to a 2014 biography of Ailes, “The Loudest Voice in the Room.” A young woman named Randi Harrison said Ailes offered to her increase her salary by $100 a week if she would have sex with him, according to the book. A producer named Shelly Ross said Ailes posed “romantically suggestive questions and made flirtatious comments about her appearance.” Ross said she told him, “This is making me uncomfortable.”

    Ailes also made disparaging remarks in a radio interview in 1994 about the appearance of Mary Matalin and Jane Wallace, who were hosts at CNBC under Ailes, according to the book.​

    I mean we kinda KNEW this was going on the whole time. I mean we physically SAW how pretty much every woman in Fox News dresses like a bimbo. We could physically see with our own eyes the massive leg fetish Ailes had.
