Fox News quietly settles with former host over OReilly sexual harassment claims

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/fox-news-quietly-settles-with-former-host-over-oreilly-sexual-harassment-claims/


A former Fox News anchor has quietly reached a settlement after threatening a sexual harassment suit against the network over the actions of star Fox personality Bill O’Reilly and Jack Abernethy, who was recently named co-President of the news division.

According to an exclusive at Lawnewz, former Fox News host Juliet Huddy has agreed to the settlement according to three separate sources, including a former Fox News executive.

Huddy previously served as a host on the network’s Fox & Friends weekend edition, before moving to The O’Reilly Factor as a regular. Huddy eventually left the network to work for Fox 5 New York, which she departed in 2016, citing, “20 challenging years” with Fox.

According to her attorney’s letter to the network, she left O’Reilly’s show and the cable network after “rebuffing Mr. O’Reilly’s advances.”

They lost their #2 star
Sexual harassment causes left and right
The creator and head got fired because of th harassment cases
They don't hold the sway with the right crowd that they used to. FB posts are claiming Trump ran Megyn Kelly out and are opening siding with him. There are so many options for getting cognitive dissonance fix and it appears that Fox just isn't as important as it was.
