Whenever I watch Fox News female news anchors in action, I always think of the "Stepford Wives." Former Miss America Gretchen Carlson now suggests in a lawsuit that apparently was close to the ideal of Fox news head Roger Ailes.

Gretchen Carlson files sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox News CEO Roger Ailes - POLITICO

https://www.yahoo.com/tv/fox-news-ro...153909886.html

Roger Ailes is one of the most powerful men in America, and an anchor of the Republican Party establishment. It sounds like he considered himself a 1930s Hollywood producer complete with an "audition couch."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Ailes

No wonder Ailes is comfortable reconciling with Donald Trump after the Donald's verbal abuse of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly.

Does Trump's obsession with Megyn Kelly and Ailes' alleged treatment of Gretchen Carlson seem eerily similar?

Creepy IMO.

Getting my popcorn ready. Not surprised that she mentioned Steve Douchey being mixed up in being a complete jerk either.

Sadly, one can only hope that they would all spontaneously combust in a big flame of hypercritical Hillary articles.

A month after her contract expires with Fox, she sues for sexual harassment. I wonder what's really going on.

She has been gone for a week or 2. But her show is still on and listed, with HOT Kimberly guest anchoring, making the guys not hear a word she says.

So, is this a sexual assault case I can get behind? Like the Clinton ones? Who/Whom? Who's the good guy this time? Is it the accuser (female) or is it the bad/good guy?


I can never tell with these political posts.


Women uber alles! or Party uber alles! Time to make up your minds ladies.

No its "harassment" Some women I guess have a hard telling people to go f themselves....... good guy, bad guy I would say some people take " you look nice today" as harassment, instead of a complement.


Didn't he just marry Jerry Hall? Why would Ailes be picking up on Carlson, Jerry hall already went through this with Mick Jagger doubt she would want a repeat, plus this man is old.


Plus, Steve Doocy would he do this to his wife and kids......


If this is true, I hope it comes out for the world to know!

Isn't Roger Ailes hugely overweight? Why did he think Gretchen would allow him to do a balancing act? Anyway, it's a conservative TV network.

Whoa. Ailes is a scumbag. And I doubt Gretchen is the only one. I'm wondering if something similar has occurred with Andrea Tantaros. While not officially fired...she hasn't been on Fox News since April.

Doocy being listed is the least surprising thing in all this. Dude always gave off a bad vibe in his mannerisms. I also wonder about Kilmeade.

She probably stuck around long enough to document it.

Won't hurt Ailes. Didn't hurt that Bill O'Reilly.
