The alleged pervert is out. The BOSS is back, if he ever left.

Birds of a feather ....

Now the question for those of you out there is, if you agreed with the alleged perverts programs, does that make you a _____?

I always wonder why in our society, how bad behavior often results in huge financial reward.

I believe they get out just as the first bit of excrement hits the first blade of the fan but before it splatters all over.

I remember when we bailed out the banks. The CEO's got millions in bonus money, for failing miserably.

Ah, but they didn't fail. They found someone more gullible to fork over money, so they did their job! Yes it is perverse. But such is the logic of the fiduciary duty.

21st Century Fox has reached a $20 million settlement deal with Gretchen Carlson, the anchorwoman who sued Roger Ailes alleging harassment and retaliation in July.

The company also publicly apologized to Carlson in a highly unusual statement on Tuesday morning.

"We sincerely regret and apologize for the fact that Gretchen was not treated with the respect that she and all our colleagues deserve," Fox said.

In the meantime, they've also lost van Sustern, too. Greta initially defended Ailes. As of my reading this morning, no reason yet given.

I'm reminded of the old Poison song "Something to Believe In":

I drive by the homeless sleeping on
A cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
That used to read
Jesus Saves
A mile away live the rich folks
And I see how they're living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder
Why so many lose, so few win

And give me something to believe in
And give me something to believe in
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in, oh Lord
And give me something to believe in
And give me something to believe in

Could it be?
http://www.politicususa.com/2016/09/02/fox-news-network-faces-bloodbath-trump-loses-election.html
The end is near for the current era of Fox News. The network could be facing what is being reported as a bloodbath and outside competition from Donald Trump if the Republican nominee loses the election in November.

The always excellent Gabriel Sherman reported in New York Magazine:

Many people I spoke with believe that the current management arrangement is just a stopgap until the election. “As of November 9, there will be a bloodbath at Fox,” predicts one host. “After the election, the prime-time lineup could be eviscerated. O’Reilly’s been talking about retirement. Megyn could go to another network. And Hannity will go to Trump TV.”

The worst case scenario for Fox News would involve Megyn Kelly leaving. Kelly has been positioned to be the face of the network for years. If she bolted to CNN, or even one of the broadcast networks, she would leave a hole in the Fox News lineup that couldn’t be easily filled.

Sorry, but that takes the conversation back a step, not forward.
Regular person, do the crime, pay major fines and major time.
Rich person (Republican, Democrat, etc. ...) settles, walks, etc. ... .
What would you like done about the discrepancy?
Could it be done?
Or shall we just wring our hands?

So nice to see Faux, chief supporter of your choice for President, all for skipping Rule of law and trial by jury of peers! Just wonder if that is because your choice for president also wants to skip, unless of course he is the one suing.
