Roger Ailes, Ed Henry and the Evil That Men Do


“The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.” 

--  Julius Caesar: Act 3 Scene 2

Since Roger Ailes never did a lick of good in his life, nothing good was interred with his bones when he finally croaked.

On the other hand, the sexual predator petting zoo he built inside his Republican white supremacist lie-factory is still going strong.

Civil Suit Against Former Fox News Anchor Ed Henry Alleges Rape, Sexual Misconduct

A female former producer at Fox News, and another woman who appeared frequently as an on-air commentator on the network, have filed a civil lawsuit Monday accusing former longtime anchor Ed Henry of rape, sexual misconduct and harassment.

Prominent Fox News commentators Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Howard Kurtz are also named as defendants in the suit, and are accused of sexual misconduct. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York...
Don't worry about Ed Henry's future employment prospects.  The Sinclair goofs and other nodes in the Conservative propaganda network always stands ready to hire Fox News' disgraced sexual predators.

Fox News Finalizes Split With Eric Bolling, Cancels His Show After Harassment Allegations

From TNR:
Eric Bolling Is Failing Up
The former Fox News host has bounced back from a #MeToo scandal stronger than ever. 
...
Seven years later, Bolling almost lost his position atop the conservative media food chain. In August 2017, The Huffington Post reported that he had sent a picture of his genitalia to multiple colleagues. That could have been the end of his career, but now, having left Fox, Bolling hosts not one but two new news shows for the robustly Trumpian local news empire Sinclair and for Glenn Beck’s online playground of reaction, The Blaze. On these shows, he conducts interviews with such grifters as Roger Stone and, for sport, chases liberal tourists around Washington with his “good friend,” the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. In one April episode, Bolling snuck onto the roof of the Capitol, pointed at his designer shoes, and announced his plan to “Make America Gucci Again.”

Oh, don't worry, I'm sure the Lincoln Project is all over going after this rotten root of Trumpism and all of his enablers, right? Surely principled lawyer George Conway and dedicated advertising hack and Lee Atwater disciple Rick Wilson are going to do a deep dive on the corrupt forces behind Fox News and its culture of celebrating rapists, right? After all, we have to go after Trump with everything we have, right? And that includes Rupert Murdoch, Peter Thiel, Erik Prince, Wilbur Ross, Steve Mnuchin, The Federalist Society, The Koch Network, Opus Dei, the NRA, and other easily identifiable billionaire enablers of Trump, right?

Right?

Oh, wait, we're just going to make Ivanka Trump and Goya bean memes.

FOX, the blessed chosen network of the Religious Right.

Why doesn't FOX want to report and talk about this?

They constantly rant about all the other networks not reporting conspiracies with no facts. While they spread and smear the shit in their hair and throw it at everyone else.

The Total Recall; how the BillO used to always decry, "if liberals continue to punish me with taxes that elite brilliant people like him (who do not have to work) will lose their insentive to work and stop.
Unlike the lazy working class who need to be punished to work and cannot make enough money or they will become lazy and live high on the billionaire hog at the Yacht club if they earn too much more than minimum wage.

Then BillO went through his religious Quagmire of sex harassment. And it wasn't;t taxes at all that made Billo quit his job at FOX. And, there was no funeral parade like BillO said there would be if he quit and denied his greatness to his viewers.
