Glorifying a lying hypocrite and an extortionist...

Note that that allegations against Roger Ailes are not substantiated. Carlson was given a large settlement because they could afford it and felt the bad publicity of fighting the charges was not worth it. Same with O'Reilly.

Carlson (who is ugly BTW) was getting fired and so extorted money by claiming (with no evidence) that Ailes sexually harassed her. She subsequently ruined the Miss America pageant.

Megyn Kelly was Ailes's biggest supporter and defender until very late in the game. I don't believe anything she says. She used Ailes to help her career and then claimed he harassed her when he could no longer help her. More likely she slept with him if anything occurred to help herself.

Carlson had recordings of Ailes harassing her, remember.

And Ailes probably got off from controlling women more than sex.

A whole movie was made over Roger Ailes. I wonder why?
The lie being - completely innocent and well meaning people get horrible reputations for being such wonderful bosses, right? If he was a good guy, this stuff wouldn't come out. Pretty simple.

If only you had any idea what you’re talking about.

Google “tape recorder.”
