Fox Settles With Gretchen Carlson for Reported $20 Million, Offers Unprecedented Apology

The development sounds like a real turning point in the network's history. But with news that Greta "It didn't happen if it didn't happen to me" Van Susteren has suddenly jumped ship, Roger Ailes is threatening to sue a New York magazine writer who has covered him closely, and another woman who sued, Andrea Tantaros, is still be called an "opportunist" who is not a victim, but someone using a sexual harassment lawsuit as a "smokescreen" to distract from her "violation of her employment contract," it seems only time will tell.

Roger Ailes Is Out as Head of Fox News

The New York Times reports: 

Roger Ailes stepped down on Thursday as chairman and chief executive of Fox News, ending a 20-year reign as head of the cable network he built into a ratings juggernaut and an influential platform for Republican politics. Rupert Murdoch, the 85-year-old media mogul who started Fox News with Mr. Ailes, will assume the role of chairman and chief executive of Fox News channel and Fox Business Network. Mr. Ailes’s position atop Fox news was suddenly thrown into doubt two weeks ago after a former anchor, Gretchen Carlson, filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him. Mr. Ailes, 76, denied the accusations, but Fox News’s owner, 21st Century Fox, began an internal review and ultimately determined that he could no longer remain in the job. Mr. Murdoch cut short a vacation he was on with his wife, Jerry Hall, on the French Riviera to return and attend to Mr. Ailes’s departure agreement. His sons, James and Lachlan, who have assumed leadership positions in the company, have been in contact with their father this week discussing Mr. Ailes’s future.
