No surprises here, only the suppression of the gag reflex.

ETA:

“Former employees cited in the book talked of Mr. Ailes’s volatile temper and domineering behavior,” the Times preview reads. “In one anecdote, a television producer, Randi Harrison, told Mr. Sherman that while negotiating her salary with Mr. Ailes at NBC in the 1980s, he offered her an additional $100 each week “if you agree to have sex with me whenever I want.”

With any luck she’ll have documented the hell out of these encounters and will nail his ass to the wall. I’d love to see her prevail even if she is the Evil Witch. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

I wonder what kind of evidence she has.

I can only hope this is the beginning of the big Fox News expose that I’ve been eagerly awaiting for 15+ years. Come on Gretchen, a tell-all would be an instant #1 New York Times Bestseller. Do it!

Obviously this needs to be proven in court, but the allegation is not shocking and fits in with the entire culture of Fox “News”.

Take note Megyn Kelly and other expendable blonde eye candy for male “news” viewers. You are furniture to these people.

Gretchen Carlson, until last month a Fox News host, alleged in a lawsuit announced Wednesday that Fox News boss Roger Ailes fired her from the network after months of rebuffing his sexual advances.

Gross, just gross.

Ailes: “Hey, Gretchen Baby. I know you love some jowls and wattle. And ooooh, baby, I’ve got them in spades. I know you want 'em. I know you want some sag. Whazza madder, Am I too much flab for you baby?”

Look, you were Miss America when? In the Fox world, when you hit fifty you either put out or get out. I’m sure CNN has a spot for you, though.

RT is not a reliable source. But hopefully Gretchen has the goods to nail this slime ball to the wall.

If this isn’t the most unfuckable person in the world, I don’t know who is.

Viagra has allowed ugly old men to be completely delusional when it comes to their reflections in the mirror…

Whatever went down, it must have been bad. I have no doubt that all the anchors at Fox understand what they have to do to work there. Ailes calls the tunes and they pay his demand. If this is what she had to resort to, something really beyond the pale must have transpired.

It may very well be as @skippykaos says: she’s 50 now and long past what Ailes would consider to be her prime.

Does not matter, since the reliability of the source is not the point I was making, that the accusations from Carlson against Ailes fits with a previously established meme.

I want to make a joke and light of this – but much like Trump [might] be a child rapist – this is too serious.

Oh, honey, that’s what you were there for.

Did you never figure that out? I thought you were supposed to be the smart one.
