WHAT AILES YOU?
Fox News, the bastion of bullshit, also spelled FAUX News pays the highest talking head fees in the industry for the celebrity former losers in the political game still smarting from when they went down in flames.
Many of their analysts are recent converts from normalcy who realized when they got fired from other stations that they had a career with FOX (FAUX) NEWS who loves those who follow the script.
And getting fired for not following the script or not sleeping with management were due cause.
Think of Fox news as the magazines you see at the checkout counter at the grocery store. And for those seeking employment at FOX news remember the secret decoder line that will get you the job. “It’s Presidents Obamas fault” and basically anything T-RUMP farts out.
Their leader Roger Ailes has been asked to leave and new allegations other than sexual harassment have surfaced. It appears he might have used company funds for personal vendettas against his enemies which is a growing and expanding list.
RUPERT MURDOCK - OWNER
Fox pays the highest talking head fees in the industry for the celebrity former losers in the political game still smarting from when they went down in flames. Many of their analysts are recent converts from normalcy who realized when they got fired from other stations that had a career with FOX (FAUX) NEWS.
Think of Fox news as the magazines you see at the checkout counter at the grocery store. We simply call it working for the Pimp-Meister, owned by Rupert Murdock, it grew under the direction of Roger Ailes who understood disenfranchised people and appealed to their senses and usually low IQ for a group.
They have ANAL-ists professing to be journalists, people who are supposed to be reporting the news, not reading the roll bars, including that happy threesome in the morning… Fox is not your friend.
The saving grace was Greyhens’s short dresses and nicely tanned legs who has since been replaced by others with even shorter dresses and nice tanned legs. Gretchen was given her own show now to fill a slot and Ailes, who is the Pimp-Meister for the channel seems to have a never ending supply of shorter dresses and tanned legs, and Ashley Bancroft styled glasses. But Gretchen’s show was terminated at the end of her contract and is now seeing FOX because as it suggests she refused to receive a sperm communion with Roger Ailes, Roger let her go.
ROGER AILES - SPIN MEISTER (ABUSER)
It is a Rupert Murdock hate station, with Aisles as the pimp master and celebrity prostitutes, serving twisted news. The less they say the better off the GOP party will be … It is a station totally devoted to bringing down the President by any means possible and only occasionally telling the truth, spinning lies all day long and long into the night. If the Republicans thought this negativism would work in the election, it failed, horribly so.
You can hide behind the first amendment for as long as you wish using phrases like, “in my opinion, my thoughts, or anything else that tells you here comes spin or a whopper". In addition for ratings, the praising of oneself is essential to the program even if it means you have to reciprocate to the other jerk who just praised you because he's on the same channel.
FOX News does this a lot, its brown-nosing on the highest level. Hour after hour they tell you how great the next show host in the cycle will be. This is like a nasal-anal tweed ring. But the sharing of untruths, is despicable. The birthers, the deather's and the other rumor starters are for real and very proficient in what they do. After all much of the anti-matter was carefully choreographed by the FOX political writers.
One of my writer friends summed it up. "Glenn Beck, Shaun Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Neil Cavuto...these guys are basically high priced prostitutes that troll up and down the alleys and back streets outside the buildings where TRUE journalism does its work. They make a lot of money and bring it back to their pimp, at FOX news, a guy by the name of Ailes.
BREAKING BALLS NEWS - ROGERS FIRED!
With the gender discrimination suit filed against the network’s chairman, Roger Ailes, this week, Fox, is now in tune with the rest of Hollywood, Silicon Valley and Madison Avenue, bringing into the open generations-old patterns and behaviors, sexual and otherwise that were never O.K., but were for so long abetted by silence.
Some are surfacing now. Former President Clinton was never right in what he did, but this is just part of our culture. And Donald Dork, will not let us forget, calling the usual pots and kettle and the innocent black.
Whoa! You mean the news station that put crotch shots ahead of the real news, is the future of Mr. Ailes, who through his own cunning, mastery of television and, in a former life, politics, has made his network a singular force within the Republican Party. Bringing up their motto “Fair and balanced”, to whence the reply, ‘Who the F*ck Are You Kidding”.
Mr. Ailes’s very approach to television — replacing the newspaper for fun and games — has stood as a rebuke to those who might be sensitive to signs of female objectification.
His sets are famous for their translucent desks, which show the legs of his female stars, no stockings, no pants and little else, who are so often in very short dresses or skirts. Including a few oops by Gretchen (believe me unintended) and other shots are an entire show on Youtube. As a friend commented to me, there are more leg shots on Faux news than at the Miss America Contest.
It was Ms. Carlson who once said that when she was a host on the set of “Fox & Friends,” the network’s morning program, “Pants were not allowed.” Fox News has denied any such rule. But for all that, there were a couple of articles in the last two days quoting former female staff members — albeit anonymously — echoing Ms. Carlson’s descriptions of Mr. Ailes’s behavior and the overall climate at Fox.
The old adage , where there is smoke there is fire. All I see is the spinmeister basically useless in true untainted journalism and it will continue to thrive because of the dollars FOX brings in till we raise its listener level from below 80 on the IQ testing and evaluation scales. He should have his balls cut off.
Gretchen Carlson today reacted to word that Roger Ailes had resigned as chief of Fox News, Fox Business and Fox TV Stations, two weeks after she filed a lawsuit claiming he sexually harassed her: Meanwhile, her attorneys, Nancy Erika Smith and Martin Hyman, released a statement saying their lawsuit and Carlson’s “courage” has “caused a seismic shift in the media world.”
“We hope that all businesses now understand that women will no longer tolerate sexual harassment and reputable companies will no longer shield those who abuse women. We thank all the brave women who spoke out about this issue,” the attorney continued, adding, “We will have more to say in coming days as events unfold.”
Minutes after 21st Century Fox issued its announcement that Roger Ailes resigned, effective immediately, Ailes began trending on Twitter. Greta Van Susteren, who’d been among the female members of Fox News Channel’s on-air team giving interviews in support of Ailes over the past two weeks, tweeted out the news, as did Brit Hume, who’d also come out in support of Ailes while 21st Century Fox conducted its investigation:
Today’s announcement effectively ends Ailes’ 20-year career as founder of Fox News Channel, the powerful news network and political force that, for the past two decades, has billed itself as the “fair and balanced” antidote to the “Lamestream liberal media.”
In today’s announcement, no reason was given for Ailes’ resignation, with a $60M parachute, according to a source. Also conspicuously absent from the announcement is a statement from Ailes.
But, in a letter from Ailes to Keith Rupert Murdoch Sr., shared with Drudge Report, Ailes said “I take particular pride in the role that I have played advancing the careers of the many women I have promoted to executives and on-air positions,” and that he was resigning so as not “to become a distraction from the work that must be done every day to ensure that Fox News and Fox Business continue to lead our industry.” Though the company made no mention of an ongoing relationship with Ailes, in his letter he pointedly said he looks “forward to continuing to work with you as an adviser in building 21st Century Fox.”
VERY UNDERPLAYED and BRILLIANT (NOW ADD GUTSY)
Gretchen Elizabeth Carlson, 06-21-1966 is an American television commentator and author. She was crowned the 1989 Miss America while representing her native state of Minnesota.

She is nobody’s stooge... Roger

NOTE: On our continuing search for Sc*mbags, we came across these comments.
Every TV morning show strives for a sense of realism but despite all the smiles, we now know there was no real affection between Ann Curry and her tormenters on “Today.”
Similarly, it wasn’t shocking to learn that tension lurked beneath the effusive happy talk of “Live with Kelly and Michael.”
Fox & Friends, however, was always a little bit different with Gretchen Carlson as co-host, because the tension often wasn’t hidden. It was part of the mood of the show—a rambling, awkward conversation that dissected and distorted the politics of the day, including the politics of gender.
And Carlson’s role for seven years, as the blonde seated between two men was part of the show’s DNA. Co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade complimented her looks and dished out jokes about her outfits. Listening to those two was like watching the Dork and Dweedle show. At times I thought they were imbeciles not news people.
Now and with more knowledge at my fingertips, they are imbeciles owned by Fox FAUX) news.
A string of male guests sometimes joined in the fun. Carlson pushed back often, but generally with a smile. Her relationship with Kilmeade seemed the warmer one, a girl rolling her eyes at her dumb-jock brother.
Steve (AKA The Douchebag) Doocy is also under fire in the lawsuit, with Carlson alleging he “Regularly treated her in a sexist and condescending way” and “Engaged in a pattern and practice of severe and pervasive sexual harassment” that was tantamount to treating her as “a blond female prop.”
A piece in Media Matters: Notes that a “Notable lack of major Fox News anchors and talk-show stars … stepping forward” to defend the Fox head, quoting a former “Fox and Friends” staffer, “Everyone on staff knew about or saw” Steve Doocy “make inappropriate comments.”
Ailes has made many public statements over the course of his career that can be construed as sexist and inappropriate, Politico noted. However, “Carlson’s is not the first suit to be brought against Fox News or one of its executives or personalities for sexual harassment.”
The report cites a 1994 appearance by Ailes on the Don Imus radio show prior to the launch of the network. Ailes proclaimed conservative commentators Mary Matalin and Jane Wallace, who then co-hosted of CNBC’s Equal Time, were “girls, who if you went into a bar around seven, you wouldn’t pay a lot of attention, but they get to be 10s around closing time.”
A review by Raw Story of Carlson’s reports over the years reveals that she may have been suffering in silence. In clip after clip, Carlson is shown walking off the set, advocated against make-up and the sexualization of women on television and in film and attacked Fox News for their no-pants policy.
