Fox News reporter quietly leaves network amid sexual harassment allegations

Source: Rawstory

Over the holidays, Fox News reporter Jamees Rosen quietly left the network amid allegations that he made sexual advances toward three female colleagues, including two reporters and a producer.

According to NPR, Rosen had been at the network for 18 years and no statement was made or excuse given for his television absence. He simply disappeared — just two days after attending a holiday party for Bret Baier’s show colleagues.

Ironically, the news came as the network’s owner Rupert Murdoch was proclaiming that their sexual harassment problem had been rectified.

“There was a problem with our chief executive, sort of, over the years, isolated incidents,” Murdoch said during an interview with Sky News. He noted Ailes was gone after mere days when complaints surfaced. As a fact check, it was nearly two weeks after the lawsuit from Gretchen Carlson was filed. Five years prior, a $3 million lawsuit was settled after a complaint against Ailes from a network booker.

the man in charge - talk to the woman who knows what is gong.

Astaire may have been the first name on the act, but Ginger Rodgers, Cyd Charrise, Leslie Carron even Adele were the women who knew what was going on.

and if the women employees don't get the same advancement opportunities as the men,
...then they haven't ended sexual harassment yet.
