Difficult to shame a shameless person.

This is sort of a Kevin Bacon six degrees of separation thing, but ugly Navarro was married to Carmen Electra who was also married to ugly Dennis Rodman which only means ugly doesn’t matter anymore.

Money and fame trump everything it seems.

Except for Donnie.

Fox News’ lawyers denied Burstein’s account, saying Tantaros was suspended for violating company policy by not allowing the network to vet her new book, “Tied Up in Knots: How Getting What They Wanted Has Made Women Miserable.”

Thats NOT the point. The point is she reported it and nothing was done…before she wrote the book…

I’d hate to be a woman working for Fox News. Then again, I’d hate to be a human being working for Fox News.

Few humans working there.

In conclusion: even militantly misogynistic women willing to promote policies detrimental to the collective interests of women and children can be the targets and victims of sexism on an individual basis.

Fox News’ lawyers denied Burstein’s account, saying Tantaros was suspended for violating company policy by not allowing the network to vet her new book, “Tied Up in Knots: How Getting What They Wanted Has Made Women Miserable.” Burstein said the network was embarrassed by the book’s cover, which depicts Tantaros tied up in ropes.

I doubt any network that has Sean Hannity as one of its personalities is capable of embarrassment.

christ, I am so conflicted… on the one hand, she should never have been subjected to this. On the other hand, this miserable twat has gleefully pushed the worst of the malicious Fox News Channel agenda, especially the anti-feminist part of it.

There are plenty of victims of Ailes and most will collect big bucks from him. So I guess I will hope her suit fails and she doesn’t get a dime, let alone the satisfaction of a finding in her favor.

THe problem is that with the number of Fox news harassment victims crowding the job market, there just won’t be enough poles to go around.

Andrea Tantaros on air last July: “After you engage in a little horizontal hula, make him a sandwich". “And get him a beer when he gets out of the shower”.
I’m guessing Roger did not get the horizontal hula, sandwich, or the beer. Otherwise, she would still be working and still saying the stupidest things.

Why not both? It seems to be part of Ailes MO to take these women under his wing first, build them up, and then the harassment begins shortly thereafter. I read a piece recently about another woman he was involved with for decades. He got her a job in DC, used her to spy on both enemies and friends, and then began having an affair with her.

It’s impossible for me to have any sympathy for her.

Ailes victims could have their own show called Outnumbered. NY magazine needs to do another Cosby like cover.

Tantaros made her name as an outspoken soldier of the conservative culture war

Yet another poor asswipe shilling for the conservative movement to fill their wallets, only to wake up one day and realizing they’ve created the cesspit they’re mired in. The dog biting the hand that feeds them is happening from the top of the GOP Leadership to the very culture footsoldiers they rely upon to keep the fires of righteousness and indignation stoked.

Not that Roger hasn’t rogered a score of helpless foreign cleaning ladies in hotels around the globe, he just finds humiliating professional college graduates and employees more personally fulfilling…
