[h=2]Gretchen Carlson, a longtime host on Fox News, is accusing the network's CEO and chairman Roger Ailes of sexual harassment and retaliation.[/h]http://money.cnn.com/2016/07/06/media/gretchen-carlson-roger-ailes-lawsuit/index.html
 
I have some female friends who worked in broadcasting.
Some of their stories about sexual harassment on the job are eye-popping
to say the least.
 
Well all those female Fox News readers don't just look that way by coincidence. That is not a license to harass, but it is an acknowledgement that factors other than talent influenced their employment.
 
If all the allegations are true who do you think should take over Roger Ailes seat? First of all for a start the next leader of Fox News would have to please the Donald Trump voters one way or another.
 
Megyn Kelly Told Investigators Roger Ailes Sexually Harassed Her, Too (Report)

Megyn Kelly has told lawyers that Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes sexually harassed her, according to New York magazine.

The majority of high-profile hosts on the network have come out to support Ailes publicly, but Kelly has stayed quiet about it since former host Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against her former boss earlier this month. 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Fox News, has launched an internal investigation into the situation.

Roger Ailes Out At Fox News, Rupert Murdoch Taking Over As Acting CEO

Roger Ailes, Chairman and CEO of Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network, and Chairman of Fox Television Stations, has resigned from his role effective immediately. The move, not unexpected, comes two weeks after former FNC anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment suit against her ex-boss.

In the announcement, 21st Century Fox said Rupert Murdoch will assume the role of Chairman and acting CEO of Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.

Today’s announcement effectively ends Ailes’s 20-year career as founder of Fox News Channel, the powerful news network and political force that, for the past two decades, has billed itself as the “fair and balanced” antidote to the “lamestream liberal media.”

If Ailes is gone, will that mean Fox will be "biased" (stations aren't really biased, for example it's non-biased competitor, CNN, so it's in quotation marks) towards another, you know what (trying to do my best to explain this in the site)?

Well Rupert Murdoch is the CEO of Fox News for now. I don't see Fox News Channel getting rid of its Ailes era structure for now. First of all Fox News needs to deal with the Donald Trump voters for now.
