    More shake-up at Fox?

    It is clear from interviews with people inside Fox News that the network has been shaken to its core.

    Ailes is the only CEO Fox News has ever had. He launched the channel in 1996 and ran it as a fiefdom, grooming an entire generation of hosts, reporters and producers who feel indebted to him. He set the cultural tone of the place.

    With Ailes deposed -- one veteran staffer compared it to the sudden death of a Middle Eastern strongman -- there is widespread uncertainty about the status of on- and off-air talent alike.

    At the moment, the Fox News executive leadership team remains in place. Acting CEO Rupert Murdoch and programming chief Bill Shine, who are said to be running the network side by side, are trying to stabilize things.

    But the law firm retained by 21st Century Fox (FOX) to investigate Ailes' behavior continues to ferret out new information. This so-called internal review by Paul, Weiss, announced on the same day Carlson sued, remains a mystery to Fox News staffers.
    After Ailes: 'Friends of Roger' exodus expected at embattled Fox News - CNN

    I watch more Fox News than I'd like, but it seems a little bit weird to me that his 'resignation' would cause so much uncertainty for the rest of the company. Sounds like he was a complete sleazeball and surely people had to know or have heard rumors about it?

    He was a sleazeball because he liked attractive women?

    Read the article. The lawyers for Fox are finding more and more information confirming the complaints, or least supporting the complaints.

    Liking women and harassing women are two separate things. I hope you know that.

    No he was a sleaze ball because he used his position as their boss to try and force them to have sex with him

    I watch too much Fox Business News and they've been all over the board. They can't seem to decide whether to support or condemn Trump. On the air at 5am, it starts with an hour of "show my thighs".

    In lieu of not knowing what to do/say about Trump, it seems like they have decided to just rail against Clinton. That's fine, but their coverage of Trump is obviously confused. I definitely see what you're describing.

    So conservative women can be harassed but liberal women can't?
