RECENTLY RELIABLE SOURCES ON CNN HAD A FORMER FOX NEWS LEGAL
ANALYST ON AND SHE BROKE A CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIALITY
AGREEMENT THAT SHE SIGNED WITH FOX NEWS REGARDING WHAT SHE
WENT THERE WHEN SHE WAS WORKING FOR THE CHANNEL.
HER NAME IS TIM MERRILL HOLDER AND SHE, I DON'T KNOW HOW
LONG SHE WORKED AT FOX BUT I KNOW THAT SHE ENDED UP
LEAVING AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT.
WHILE SHE WAS ON CNN, SHE SHARED HER STORY AND THE REASON
WHY SHE BROKE HER CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS ENRAGED AFTER RUPERT MURDOCH MADE
SOME STATEMENTS REGARDING ALLEGATIONS AGAINST MEN AT
FOX NEWS, SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS.
HE ESSENTIALLY CALLED THOSE ALLEGATIONS NONSENSE AND
THAT LED HER TO RESPOND TO IT.
BEFORE WE GET TO HER COMMENTS, I REALLY WANT YOU TO SEE WHAT
RUPERT MURDOCH SET FOR YOURSELF LET'S TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT
THE VIDEO.
WHY IS HE DENYING THIS?
IF HE AND BILL O'REILLY AND EVERYBODY ELSE, BELOW
RALLIES ON TWITTER SAYING
THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT VIDEO.
LET'S TOSS TO RUPERT MURDOCH'S INTERVIEW WITH SKY NEWS.
WE DON'T HAVE THE VIDEO, SO LET ME JUST CHARACTERIZE IT FOR YOU.
HE WAS ON SKY NEWS AND HE WAS ASKED ABOUT THE SEXUAL ASSAULT
ALLEGATIONS THAT WERE ESSENTIALLY TAINTING THE NAME OF
FOX NEWS AND HE WAS ASKED WHETHER OR NOT THOSE ALLEGATIONS
AND WHAT HAPPENED WITH ROGER AILES AND BILL O'REILLY IS
LEADING TO MURDOCH SELLING OFF PARTS OF HIS COMPANY AND HE
ESSENTIALLY SAID THAT IS NONSENSE, THEY WERE TARGETED
BECAUSE OF THE CONSERVATIVE NEWS CHANNEL BUT HE ALSO THEN
PIVOTED TO LIBERALS WHO HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF SEXUAL
ASSAULT BECAUSE IT'S ALL POLITICAL, RIGHT?
THE FACT THAT HE CALLED IT NONSENSE REALLY UPSET
TAMARA HOLDER AND THAT SHE GOES ON RELIABLE SOURCES AND
SAYS THE FOLLOWING: TAKE A LOOK.
HE SAYS THAT THERE WERE CASES THAT AMOUNTED TO FLIRTING.
LET ME BE CLEAR.
I HAD A MAN PULL OUT HIS PENIS IN HIS OFFICE AND SHOVE MY
HEAD ON IT.
THAT WAS NOT FLIRTING.
THAT WAS CRIMINAL.
THAT WAS NOT SEXUAL HARASSMENT.
THERE ARE NO GRAY AREAS, WHATEVER MATT DAMON
RECENTLY SAID.
THIS IS CRIMINAL AND I'M NOT THE ONLY CASE.
THERE ARE WOMEN WHO CAN'T SPEAK OUT.
SO THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY DETAILED AND SHE IS
PASSIONATE AND ANGRY SHE SHOULD BE AND SHE IS SHARING HER STORY
DESPITE THE FACT THAT SHE DID SIGN THAT AGREEMENT AND THERE
COULD BE LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS FOR WHAT SHE'S DOING.
I THINK IT'S BRAVE TO DO THAT AND I THINK IT'S A GOOD MOMENT
TO DO IT BECAUSE THE FOX NEWS IS OF THE WORLD ARE GOING TO BE A
LITTLE HARD PRESSED TO SAY I WANT MY MONEY BACK EVEN THOUGH
AN EXECUTIVE OR WHOEVER IT WAS A FOX NEWS DID THIS TO YOU BUT YOU
ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT THE SEXUAL ASSAULT THAT YOU
SUFFERED SO WE WOULD LIKE OUR MONEY BACK.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO PLAY VERY WELL AND THE MORE THAT
THESE GUYS KEEP POURING SALT IN THE WOUNDS, THE MORE WOMEN
LIKE HER ARE GOING TO COME ON SAY WAIT A MINUTE, I'M NOT
GOING TO LET YOU JUST LIE LIKE THAT IN PUBLIC AND TRY TO
GET AWAY WITH IT AND THIS IS NOT THEORETICAL AND IT IS NOT
ABOUT, SHE MADE A DIG THERE MATT DAMON.
MATT DAMON IS TALKING ABOUT GENERALITIES.
SHE IS FURIOUS AT RUPERT MURDOCH WHO WAS TALKING ABOUT THE
SPECIFIC CASE OF FOX NEWS AND SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENED THERE.
A HAPPENED TO HER.
I LOVE THAT SHE IS NOT LETTING THEM GET AWAY WITH IT.
EXACTLY.
AND AS WE KNOW, WE'VE DISCUSSED A BILLION TIMES ON THE SHOW.
THIS MOVEMENT THAT IS HAPPENING IN THE COUNTRY IS NOT A
POLITICAL MOVEMENT AND MURDOCH MADE IT SEEM LIKE WE WERE
BEING TARGETED BECAUSE WE ARE CONSERVATIVE.
NO, THIS IS NOT ABOUT CONSERVATIVE OR LIBERAL,
DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN.
IT IS THAT WOMEN SPEAKING OUT AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN HARASSED,
ASSAULTED, MISTREATED IN ANY WAY AND IT IS OBVIOUSLY AFFECTED
PEOPLE OF ALL STRIPES.
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW IF THE PEOPLE WHO WENT AFTER CONYERS
AND FRANKEN WERE CONSERVATIVES AND IF THEY WERE, I DOUBT THAT
THEY WOULD HAVE ENOUGH PRINCIPLES THAT IF THEY GOT
REPUBLICANS, THEY WOULD ALSO WRITE STORIES ABOUT THEM AND
LESS IS SUITED THEIR POLITICAL PURPOSES BECAUSE THAT IS
HOW THEY THINK AND THEY DO PROJECTION.
THEY THINK, WE WOULD DO THIS IS A POLITICAL ATTACK SO I
ASSUME THEY ARE DOING IT AS APPLICABLE ATTACK.
1ST OF ALL, WHO IS A?
IT'S WOMEN WHO CAME FORWARD LIKE GRETCHEN CARLSON WHO BEGAN
THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE AND SAID I DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.
SO YOU ARE GOING TO TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO SLEEP WITH THIS
MONSTER ROGER AILES TO HAVE A JOB, I DON'T ACCEPT AND I'M
GOING TO CALL YOU OUT ON IT.
RETCHING CARLSON IS A CONSERVATIVE DOT'S THERE'S
NO POLITICAL AGENDA THERE.
EVERYONE AT FOX NEWS THAT CAME FORWARD ARE LARGELY
CONSERVATIVES.
ESPECIALLY THE ON-AIR PEOPLE AND THEN IT'S SOME SORT OF
LIBERAL PLOT, WHETHER THEY GET HARVEY WEINSTEIN WHO AT THE
TIME WAS A PURPORTED LIBERAL.
NOW WE KNOW HE IS JUST A MONSTER PERIOD.
WHY DID THEY GET KEVIN SPACEY.
THERE IS NO THEY.
WOMEN AND MEN COMING FORWARD SAYING I'VE BEEN ABUSED I
DON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU GUYS ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF
MONEY FOX NEWS SPENT TO SETTLE THESE CASES.
LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 95.
THAT AMOUNT ALSO INCLUDES RACIAL DISCRIMINATION.
ROGER AILES ALONE COST FOX NEWS QUITE A BIT OF MONEY.
THAT IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT AND THAT IS NOT EVEN INCLUDING THE
AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT BILL O'REILLY PAID OUT OF HIS OWN
POCKET TO SETTLE SOME CASES WHICH WAS OVER $30 MILLION SO
WHEN YOU PUT THAT INTO THE TILL, YOU HAVE OVER $120
MILLION THAT FOX NEWS HAD TO PAY WOMEN FOR SEXUALLY HARASSING
THEM AND THEIR ANCHORS HAD TO PAY AS WELL LIKE O'REILLY.
YOU THINK THEY DID THAT BECAUSE RUPERT MURDOCH DOESN'T CARE
ABOUT MONEY?
NO, HE CARES DEEPLY ABOUT MONEY.
THEY PAID ALL THAT MONEY BECAUSE THEY DID IT AND SO FOR HIM TO
NOW COME OUT AND SAY IT'S POLITICAL NONSENSE, IT'S A
BRIDGE TOO FAR AND ADDING INSULT TO LITERAL INJURY AND
REALLY HAPPY THAT PEOPLE LIKE HOLDER HAVE ENOUGH COURAGE
TO COME FORWARD AND SAY NOT ON OUR WATCH.
