Aren't most lawyers democrats anyway? I guess I'm not really surprised by that "revelation" that she supports democratic candidates.
I'm wondering if Gretchen is going to go full bore socialist now. She could probably get a gig on msnbc. Besides, they could use the cleavage over there.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.
Whoa:

Bombshell report: Megyn Kelly has told Murdoch lawyers she was sexually harassed by Roger Ailes

It looks like the biggest shoe in the Roger Ailes sexual harassment scandal has just dropped.

According to New York Magazine’s Gabriel Sherman, Fox News star anchor Megyn Kelly has told investigators hired by the Murdoch family that she has been sexually harassed by Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.

Specifically, Sherman has two sources who claim that “Kelly has told investigators that Ailes made unwanted sexual advances towards her about ten years ago when she was a young correspondent at Fox.” The sources say that she described the alleged harassment by Ailes in great detail.

Another juicy tidbit in Sherman’s piece: His sources say Ailes has “received advice on strategy from Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani” for beating the rap on sexual harassment, which adds a whole other layer of intrigue to this saga.

If Kelly really has spilled the beans on Ailes to investigators, then it would explain why she’s been so silent about the case. Other Fox personalities, in contrast, have been adamant about defending their longtime boss.

The trouble for Ailes and Fox started when longtime Fox & Friends cohost Gretchen Carlson sued Ailes for sexual harassment. Afterward, at least six other women came forward to also claim they were harassed by Ailes.

On Monday this week, Sherman came out with a report saying that the Murdochs had decided to fire Ailes and were only debating the timing of when it would happen.

Well to be fair Democrats too, but they like the Melissa Harris's and the Rachel Maddow's of the media world. And of course, that fetching babe, Janeane Garofalo.


many years ago some friends/people were hanging out and this thing was on tv one of the guys says and i am quoting "is it just me or is she freaking hot?" the room went silent for several minutes until i spoke up and said "it is just you..." i cannot repeat what else i said without violating the rules of tidefans profanity policy.

Kelly was the last straw. For those that have watched from inception, we do have to thank Roger for putting together good shows. He hired Hanity, who started out as a talk show host on a Huntsville station before getting a big gig in Atlanta and then being noticed by Roger and paired with Colmes. Bill O'reilly was doing a tabloid show. He recognized and moved people like Bret Baier and Kelly and promoted. Took discarded, but good talent in Bill Hemmer, Jon Stossell, Geraldo Rivera, Lou Dobbs and others. Unlike other news channels, you rarely saw people getting canned, and it had a family feel. Roger Ailes is Fox News. It is sad to see him go out like this.

With one case of "he said, she said," people might chalk it up to disgruntled employee and he might survive. A second allegation, and and he was done.
I like Baier. I find Stossel interesting. O'Reilly strikes me as a yankee blowhard. Hannity is, well, not my favorite commentator. He is just not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Ailes left his stamp on the network.

its almost like the gop and fox are simultaneously imploding.
CNN, MSNBC have had multiple presidents over the years, and its safe to assume that Ailes, who is getting up in years, has capable people under him with similar views.

All the "talk" of a contested convention that we listened to for months amounted to nothing and the Polls are showing that Trump can beat Hillary.

He may stay if the below is true
