THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT AGAINST
FOX NEWS MOUNTS.
NOW ANDREA TANTAROS FOLLOWED SUIT.
WE WERE WAITING FOR IT.
SHE MYSTERIOUSLY
DISAPPEARED FROM ON-AIR WHEN GRETCHEN CARLSON SUED IN 20
OTHER WOMEN CAME FORWARD WITH CHARGES OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, WE
WERE QUIET HERE WONDERING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH TANTAROS
BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A WEIRD SITUATION WHERE SHE JUST
IMMEDIATELY STOPPED BEING ON THE AIR AND NO ONE GAVE A REAL
EXCELLENT NATION.
THEY SAID IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HER
SELLING BOOKS ON-AIR.
ALMOST ALL OF THEM DO THAT, IT WAS
OBVIOUS NONSENSE.
WE DID ONE TALK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE
YOU DON'T WANT TO INSINUATE THOSE THINGS IF YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
NOW WE KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING.
HERE IS THE
NEW YORK TIMES RIGHT UP ON THAT.
DURING ARBITRATION, MISTER
BERNSTEIN THAT IS THE LAWYER FOR TANTAROS SAID FOX NEWS OFFERED TO
PAY HER SOME IN THE SEVEN
FIGURES IF SHE RENOUNCED CLAIMS AGAINST MISTER AILES AND OTHERS
OF THE NETWORK, INCLUDING THE HOST BILL O'REILLY.
ACCORDING
TO THE LAWSUIT, MISS TANTAROS SAID SHE HAD BEEN SUBJECTED TO
UNWELCOME ADVANCES FOR MISTER O'REILLY WHOM SHE HAD REGARDED
AS A FRIEND AND ADVISOR.
IF YOU GO ON THE FOX NEWS AND YOU THINK
THAT THEY ARE YOUR FRIENDS, THOSE GUYS UP THERE BOTH THE
MANAGEMENT AND WITH ANY DEGREE OF POWER OF FOX NEWS, AND YOU
ARE AN ATTRACTIVE YOUNG WOMAN, THEY ARE NOT VIEWING YOU AS A
FRIEND.
OFTENTIMES, AS WE HAVE SEEN WITH STORY AFTER STORY,
THEY ARE VIEWING THEM AS PREY.
APPARENTLY IT STRETCHES TO A
RALLY AS WELL.
IF YOU ARE SURPRISED BY THIS, YOU SHOULDN'T
BE.
REMEMBER, THEY ALSO SETTLED A FAMOUS SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASE
AGAINST BILL O'REILLY WHERE HE SEXUALLY HARASSED ONE OF HIS
PRODUCERS WHO WORKED UNDER HIM.
HE HAD NON-CONSENSUAL PHONE SEX
WITH HER.
IT WAS SO WEIRD THAT SHE STARTED RECORDING THEM AND
THEN A LOT OF THE WORLD, INCLUDING R&R PROGRAM, HEARD HOW
BILL REALLY WANTED TO RUB FALAFELS ON HER.
ARE WE REALLY
SURPRISED THAT O'REILLY IS ALSO INVOLVED IN THE AILES SCANDAL?
THE LAWSUIT EXPLAINS A FALSE FOX NEWS MASQUERADES AS A
DEFENDER TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES, BEHIND-THE-SCENES, IT
OPERATES LIKE A SEX FIELD PLAYBOY MANSION LIKE CULT STEEPED
IN INTIMIDATION, INDECENCY, AND
MISOGYNY.
THAT IS NOT A LIBERAL SAYING.
IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN
ANDREA TANTAROS ON-AIR, SHE IS A DIEHARD CONSERVATIVE.
LOVES TO MAKE FUN OF LIBERALS AND WE HAVE DONE MAY BE DOZENS
OF STORIES ON HOW WRONGHEADED SHE IS IN HER ATTACK AGAINST
LIBERALS, INDEPENDENTS,
DEMOCRATS, SO THAT HARD RIGHT WINGER IS LIKE NO, YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND THAT THEY DON'T STAND
FOR FAMILY VALUES.
WHEN YOU ARE NOT LOOKING, THEY ARE LOOKING TO
HARASS US AND SLEEP WITH US AND TREATISES LESSER PEOPLE.
OVERCOME A BY THE WAY ANDREA, YOU ARE SURPRISED ? LOOK AT
THE STUFF THAT IS ON-AIR.
SHE ALSO SAYS AILES DID NOT ACT
ALONE, HE MAY HAVE BEEN THE PRIMARY CULPRIT BY HIS ACTIONS
WERE CONDONED BY HIS MOST SENIOR LIEUTENANTS, WHO ENGAGED IN A
CONCERTED EFFORT TO SILENCE 10 TURTLES BY THREATS, HUMILIATION,
AND RETALIATION.
WHAT I'M MOST INTERESTED IN THAT RETALIATION,
BECAUSE THIS IS SO UNPROFESSIONAL AND MENTAL THAT I
THINK THE REST OF THE PRESS IS
HAVING A HARD TIME WRAPPING THEIR HEADS AROUND IT.
LIKE,
REALLY?
WE HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS IS ENTIRELY
POSSIBLE FROM FOX NEWS BUT NOW WE HAVE EVIDENCE THAT IS SHARED
BY THE WHOLE WORLD AND FROM
INSIDERS.
TANTAROS WENT AND COMPLAINED TO BILL SHINE WHO WAS
ONE OF THE EXECUTIVES UNDER AILES AND NOW HE IS ONE OF THE
TWO EXECUTIVES HAD THE HAS BEEN NAMED TO RUN FOX NEWS AFTER AILES
AND SAYS THAT HE HAS BEEN DOING THIS TO ME AND TALKING ABOUT HOW
WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE ME IN A BIKINI AND WANTS ME TO TWIRL
AROUND SO HE COULD SEE MY ASS.
TALKING ABOUT MY SEX LIFE.
AFTER SHE STARTS TO COMPLAIN,
SHE'S ON A NEW SHOW, THERE IS ONLY ONE INTERVIEW SCHEDULED FOR
HER FROM THE PR DEPARTMENT, NORMALLY YOU GET A WHOLE BUNCH
OF INTERVIEWS.
THAT IS WITH THE PR DEPARTMENT DOES.
SHE SAID
THE SOLE INTERVIEW RANGE FOR THE PUBLICITY DEPARTMENT DURING THAT
PERIOD WAS WITH A WRITER FOR A BLOG CONTROLLED BY FOX, WHO
ASKED HER ABOUT HER BREASTS AND IF SHE WAS DIFFICULT TO WORK
WITH.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS ? THEY ARE ABOUT TO PUT A
HATCHET IN YOUR BACK.
WHEN THEY DIRECT YOU TO A BLOG THAT IS
FRIENDLY TO THEM AND THEY ASK
YOU ABOUT YOU ARE DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH, THAT MEANS THAT IS
WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO SMEAR YOU WITH WHEN THEY FIRE YOU BECAUSE YOU
WOULDN'T SLEEP WITH THE BOSS.
THERE IS MORE.
MISS TANTAROS
ALSO CLAIMED IN THE LAWSUIT THAT SHE WAS THE SUBJECT OF
HUMILIATING POST BY ACCOUNTS ON TWITTER KNOWN AS SOCK PUPPETS
THAT SHE SAYS WERE INSTIGATED BY THE FOX NEWS PUBLICITY
DEPARTMENT.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT SOCK PUPPETS IN THE PAST THEY
WOULD'VE SAID NO ONE IS GOING TO BOTHER DOING SOCK PUPPETS.
THEY
DO.
THAT IS WHAT THE FOX NEWS P OUR DEPARTMENT WAS DOING, AND
THEY WOULDN'T JUST DO IT AGAINST THEIR OPPONENTS.
THEY WOULD DO
IT AGAINST PEOPLE INSIDE THEIR
OWN BUILDING.
MORE THAN FRIENDLY FIRE.
IT IS QUITE
UNFRIENDLY AND THIS IS THE KIND OF PR ATTACK THEY WOULD DO
AGAINST THEIR OWN IF YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW RULES AND THE RULES WERE
YOU EITHER SLEEP WITH AILES OR
YOU ARE A GONER.
THIS IS GROTESQUE.
THE LAWSUIT CLAIMS
THAT MISTER SHINE TOLD TANTAROS THAT BOURGOGNE, WHO
RUNS THE PR DEPARTMENT, IS LIKE A
RABID DOG ON A CHAIN THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL.
SOMETIMES THAT
DOG GETS OFF THE CHAIN.
SHE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PR
DEPARTMENT ATTACKING HER, SHE IS ONE OF THEIR OWN HOSTS, AND HE
SAYS WHAT CAN I DO?
HOW CLEAR IS THIS THREAT.
THE LEAST
UNCLEAR THING YOU'VE EVER HEARD.
BUT WAIT, IT GETS CLEARER.
THEN POINTING TO A PICTURE OF
MISTER AILES IN A MAGAZINE COVER, THOUGH ON SUIT CHARGES,
MISTER SCHEIN TOLD HER THAT THIS POWERFUL MAN HAS FAITH IN IRENA
BRIGANTI AND THAT TANTAROS NEEDS TO LET THIS ONE
GO.
NOW, UNDERSTAND HOW POWERFUL WE ARE.
STOP
COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND KNOW YOUR ROLE
LITTLE LADY.
THAT IS HOW THEY
TREAT PEOPLE THERE.
ALL THAT STUFF THEY SAID ON-AIR, DID YOU
THINK THEY WERE KIDDING?
THEY MEANT IT.
NOW AILES IS
FINALLY GONE BECAUSE OF ALL
THIS.
THERE WAS SOME TALK OF SOME OF THE HOST LEAVING AND
THERE WAS GOING TO BE AN UPRISING, BUT FOX EXECUTIVES
APPARENTLY SAT THEM DOWN AND TOLD THEM ALL OF THE DETAILS OF
WHAT ELSE HAD DONE AND EVEN SOME
OF THEM WERE SHOCKED I AND SAID OKAY FINE WE'LL STAY.
IS THERE A
BIG CHANGING OF THE GUARD?
IS EVERYTHING OKAY NOT FOX NEWS?
HOW ABOUT BILL SHINE WHO
TOLD TANTAROS YOU BETTER KNOW YOUR ROLE AND NOT MESS WITH THE
BIG GUY.
MISTER SHINE WAS NAMED CO-PRESIDENT OF FOX NEWS
AFTER MR.
AILES DEPARTMENT.
MEET THE NEW BOSS, SAME AS THE
OLD BOSS.
FOX NEWS, STILL FOX
NEWS.
