Welll Looky here. Ex-Fox News host Gretchen Carlson sues network head Roger Ailes for sexual...

No no no … Candice Burgman was her boss … her name was Corkie something …

ETA: nm … Corky Sherwood … Murphy Brown was a lot funnier than FoxNews IMEIO

ETA ETA: Corky was better looking too …

Updated Wonkette on Roger’s dick.

Worth reading in that Evan Hurst is much funnier than Gary Legum. Bonus points for “[having sex with Roger Ailes] which, we must emphasize, involves human contact with Roger Ailes’s naked body and genital accoutrements.”

Missed the edit window … and suddenly the wisdom of such a feature becomes blindingly clear …

“If I don’t like your work, you deserve to be sexually harassed”

you’re a bit of an asshole tbqh

Really. You can stand back, look objectively at Fox News, and tell yourself “Nope…no way is that an organization where the pigs in charge would treat the female employees like ambulatory sex dolls.”

“Welcome to Ass Pinchers, Inc., babycakes. Girls’ dress code calls for yoga pants, every day.”

She went to Fox from CBS, so she started with a real news organization. However,

What **elliott **said.

Really? Because I don’t think that’s what Steve MB was saying. I think it was more like, “if you go down into the sewer, expect to encounter sewage and sewer rats”. Of course Gretchen is justified in her complaint, if the facts are accurate. It’s just that she may have been a bit naive in thinking of Fox News as a normal broadcaster, or an environment with normal ethical standards.

Cool victim blaming dude I’m sure you’re not actually an asshole then!!!

And you are…?

The fact that this came out a week or two after her contract wasn’t renewed is suspicious.

I thought she was the stoned doorman.

Well played.

How? You don’t sue for losing your job if you still have it.

Well, in her complaint, Carlson said that Ailes told her had slept with three other Miss Americas.

And that’s different from, “If you don’t want to be sexually harrassed, don’t dress like that”… how, exactly?

Isn’t it a reference to how she was treated as a journalist by Doocy and not the sex charge against Ailes?

Fox requires their Hot Blondes to dress in ass skimming dresses. See their “no pants” rule. See my previous post, the one that elliott misunderstood.

So, she wouldn’t bump uglies with the Boss, and she loses her job. The other vacuous blonde just got a big promotion. Not casting any asparagus here, but, well, there it is. Just sayin’, is all.

How about in the way that it wasn’t at all a comment on being sexually harassed but on being a “real” journalist that works for what is not exactly a real journalism organization?

:confused:

Well, certainly different in that my very next sentence plainly states that if the facts are accurate – and I rather suspect that they are – then her complaint is fully justified, and to be perfectly clear I mean both legally and morally. You seem to be trying to read a “blame the victim” innuendo into that comment that isn’t there at all.

It’s just so oddly incongruous and rather humorous trying to hold Fox News up to the standards of a real news organization, but since that’s what they pretend they are, it’s a fair position to take in a legal suit. She has every right to complain about sexual harassment, and even more so to complain about losing her job over it. But I’m entitled to make an editorial comment about her poor judgment for choosing to work for a bunch of unethical dipshits and their cohort of decorative blonde bimbos. Who you choose to work for, what you do for them, and the ethical values it reflects are all consequential lifestyle decisions and are a whole lot different than how you choose to dress. None of it mitigates what happened to her, it just reflects the unsurprising fact that if you choose to work with unethical dipshits you might be treated unethically. But no one should ever face threats and sexual harassment in any job, and I’d love to see Ailes hung out to dry for this.
