Has Alisyn said anything? I'm still like to know if what Andrea has to said. Guessing there's a reason why Fox News is keeping her under contract instead of removing.

In regards to Andrea, I'm neither a lawyer nor a media expert but I would assume that they don't have enough to fire her with cause but enough to keep her suspended until her contract expires. That aside, you and me both in regards to what Andrea will have to say. I doubt it will be that Roger Ailes chased her around a desk, but I remember during one of her interviews (when she was promoting her book) after she was suspended that she told the interviewer that when this was all over she would have a lot to say.

Gabriel Sherman is reporting Ailes sexually harassed Megan Kelly and Kimberly Guilfoyle is the leader of the pro-Ailes faction:

It must be pointed out Sherman has been wrong about Ailes before:

Thanks for the links, Sparty.

This could get ugly around Fox News with the pro-Ailes faction and the anti-Ailes faction. I can't imagine them co-existing for very long until someone blows on live TV.

Not that I put any faith in that a$$hat Drudge but it does seem like Ailes will soon be out. I expect there will be no blowups between those who defend Ailes and his accusers. I think the defenders have said what they're going to say to keep their jobs, stay on the good side of FNC management, or in some cases out of genuine loyalty to Ailes. When Ailes is gone they'll find themselves torn between defending their exboss and crossing the Murdoch brothers. Silence is golden in that situation. The accusers also have said what they're going to say. The only battle of words is likely to between the lawyers but the media will probably lose interest until there is a settlement or a trial. Just my opinion.

I'm guessing she can't
If you remember, Fox gave her a great sendoff
She had to sit out a few months of a non-compete
I would think part of the agreement was to not comment about Fox

The New York Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch, is reporting settlement talks between Ailes and FNC are ongoing:

So is Howard Kurtz on foxnews.om:

Very few of them ripped Carlson
The majority of them just defended Ailes

Only for the purposes of talking to the investigators, not the media

The craziest story yet is the one from Brietbart climbing the F&F crew, BOR, Shep, Greta and Hannity would all go with Ailes to form a new network

If anyone exercises that clause to leave, it's BOR
At his age and with his $$$, he doesn't need it anymore

But could he give up the stroke to his ego to be able to continue to say he has the number one show on cable news? I don't think so.

What insanity.......... and Susan Estrich (an admitted victim of rape, super Leftist & Feminist) is Ailes lawyer???? :Crazy

? And Bill O with his documented history of abuse at home & office.......... where's my falafel? where's my loofah???? :jetserl

My advice - if you have money like Ailes just hire look-a-like hookers to roleplay RealStory, KellyFile, Outnumbere.... - he could've even used Fox News sets after hours....... :jetserl

I'll bet there are some uncomfortable moments as the pro-Ailes Gals pass Megyn & the Harassed in the hallways...........

Dear Rupert,

Hot Foxes made your Networks. Don't go changing the dress code or camera angles.

Sincerely,

Every Male Viewer in America

The situation going forward...at least, as far as I can see, in the interim, or until some of this dust settles, is that we're going to see more "conservative"...no pun intended...dress and demeanor from the ladies, just so Rupert doesn't seem to be as connected to Ailes' debauchery. I'm not saying pantsuits, mind you...but I'd be surprised if there were any uppies anytime soon.
