As for the charges, total bs.

You know this for a fact?
I'd like to know what is going on with Andrea Tantaros also. Wonder if she could be involved?
BREAKING: Fox News confirms to @TheLloydGrove that Roger Ailes has been fired https://t.co/b5OSAeU4SL

Since she disappeared without explanation, I wondered the same thing when this story broke a week or so ago.
update#2: Statement from 21st Century Fox: “Roger is at work. The review is ongoing. The only agreement that is in place is his existing employment agreement.”
Did you read the memo GC sent Ailes after the meeting she says he harassed her?
No, I haven't seen it.
Did you miss the part where there were multiple other women that have come forward to say he harassed them also? Including, apparently, Megyn Kelly supposedly telling investigators that he had harassed her when she was a junior reporter at the network. She has been conspicuously silent about speaking up for Ailes, while other women at Fox have done so in the wake of this scandal. Pretty suspicious....
Exclusive — Megyn Against The World At Fox: Anchor Rebellion, Creation of Competitor Network Looms Amid Ailes Ouster Rumors
CLEVELAND, Ohio — At least one top talent inside Fox News has confirmed to Breitbart News that a major talent meeting among various different hosts is scheduled, and they are considering leaving with Roger Ailes to form a new network to compete with Fox. “Everyone here hates Gretchen and Megyn,” the talent said in a brief phone interview, adding that hosts from Fox and Friends and throughout the primetime lineup from the co-hosts of The Five to Special Report’s Bret Baier to Greta Van Susteren to Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity are planning to band together and potentially execute contract clauses that allow them to leave if Ailes is driven out.
Notably, Shepard Smith is not a part of the coup, said the source. That being said, if this group—Baier, Hannity, Van Susteren and O’Reilly—can stick together and effectively negotiate as a bloc with whatever other resources and talent they have, they could strap together enough leverage to block Kelly. But that shows how powerful Kelly has become inside a network where most of her colleagues despise her.
Ailes has come under fire amid unsubstantiated allegations from Gretchen Carlson, the former Fox anchor, and now Megyn Kelly of The Kelly File that he allegedly sexually harassed them.
The only host whom this talent hasn’t personally confirmed as part of a potential mass exodus was O’Reilly. But since Ailes bailed out O’Reilly when he came under fire for a loofah incident that even he would “consider” leaving in a mass exodus.
“Fox can have Megyn,” the talent said. “We want Roger.”
The Financial Times confirmed the possibility of a mass Fox News exodus in its reporting.
“Three of Fox News’ biggest stars — Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren — have clauses in their contracts that would allow them to depart if Mr Ailes were to leave the network, the two people briefed on the dispute said,” the Financial Times wrote. “This means a core team of on-air talent could follow Mr Ailes out of the door.”
This talent added that there is a lot expected to come out about how much Kelly’s colleagues despise her. “The entire building hates her,” the source said. “Nobody cares that she’s upset about a frickin’ hug.”
Specifically, Kelly’s supposed sexual harassment allegation against Ailes was due to a hug in 2006 she didn’t like, according to The Drudge Report. The Drudge Report has also reported on this meeting, but Gabriel Sherman of New York Magazine–an anti-Ailes agitator in the media–claims it is not true.
But, at least one of the anchors who would be in such a meeting has confirmed to Breitbart News that Sherman is wrong–and that the meeting will take place.
If Ailes were to be driven out by Rupert Murdoch and his sons, then there is already talk among the remaining anchors about getting together a new network outside of Fox News after everyone of the other anchors executes their contract clauses that allow them to leave if Ailes is gone.
None of this, of course, is certain and ultimately things may change quickly. But the fact there’s even discussion among top talent at the network of the creation of a new network designed to compete with a Megyn Kelly-run Fox News is remarkable.
Next he'll be digging up dirt about how Trump's dog peed on the carpet one time. It must be hell living in butt hurt agony like that all the time.
Exclusive — Fox News Stars Stand With Roger Ailes Against Megyn Kelly, More Than 50 Fox Contributors, All Primetime, Willing To Walk
CLEVELAND, Ohio — All of Fox News’ primetime lineup is willing to walk out of the network with chief executive and chairman Roger Ailes if he is pushed out by Rupert Murdoch and his family, Breitbart News has confirmed.
That's the easy part. Lets see him put it back. ;-)

I thought Trump was a moron in the Kelly situation early in the primary, but it is easy to see that she has grown a little big for her britches. Probably part of the reason they clashed, they are too much alike.
This was a power play with the Murdoch boys I believe. Ailes is staying on as a consultant for two years and is getting a huge payout. Rupert Murdoch is taking over.

The Murdochs and Cruz and the butt-hurts both exhibit the same traits of self promotion, losing is actually winning.
Was that from a tweet from another Nick Nobody?
