The Swamp

Roger Ailes Sued by Gretchen Carlson

Fasten your seat belts, this could be a lot of fun.

Yeah, this one is a popcorn moment.

Gretchen Carlson looks like if you made an entire person out of lip gloss.

She looks terrifying in person. She had to weigh about 90 pounds, with the body-to-head ratio of Beavis and Butthead. I couldn't help wondering how her spindly chicken legs didn't snap with each step. I have to say, she was super friendly.

A lot of people we see on TV or in the movies have a weird head-to-body ratio. Ben Affleck is a really good example. ENORMOUS noggin. George Stephanopolous - oversized domepiece.

I think Christoph Waltz is the best example of this. He's like 5-7 but has the same size head as Yao Ming.

Not irony. Not even in the dictionary.com sense either.

It's the pinnacle of a lack of self awareness and tone deafness, however.

I almost screencapped the screencap to remove the irony comment, because it wasn't the point. Then I bet myself who would be the first to point out the lack of actual irony, and left it as-is. I lost.

Bolling dick pics!

Is sending dick pics a requirement for working at FoxNews?

This is outrageous and a disgrace and wait who is Bolling?

Fox News explained in 24 seconds.

It's like he realized the dichotomy mid-stream.

One of the top comments on the original tweet said the same thing and yeah, it's all part of the gloriousness of the video.

"No, this is different."

And of course, the talking head that made that comment about it not being a racist country was responsible for this light-hearted look at Chinatown.

Except Murdoch owns both so, whatevs.

Bolling was finally fired, btw.

And today his 19 year old son was found dead.

Just for the record, I guess.

I actually have a friend who knows that chick. They're both involved in politics in Hendersonville (my friend is on the non-evil side.). I guess she's pretty much batshit crazy though obviously that's a pretty horrible story.

Tucker Carlson always has the look of a Golden Retriever trying to understand Quantum Mechanics...

Am I wrong to think that Megyn Kelly should shut the fuck up?

Like, her speaking out now seems like a desperate ratings ploy?

...yes.

I feel like the very least I can do is let people handle these traumatizations whenever they want and in just about whatever manner they choose to.

I guess, it's just that her timing seems - to me - to smack of something cynical.

It may be cynical, but does that really matter? The issue isn't Megyn Kelly, but rather sexual harassment and Fox's facilitating harassment by Bill O'Reilly.

True enough.

If there was to be one, who would conduct the investigation on Fox? Is that Federal or state?

If we are talking about sexual assault, that would be state. If we are talking about making extortive threats to employees to keep quiet, that could be either.

For any individual employee, they could file a complaint with either the state or federal employment opportunity commission. But I don't think that kind of investigation would go beyond an individual employee's claim. Maybe I'm wrong about that though.

If you didn't think O'Reilly couldn't be more of an asshole than he already is (like his buddy Trump)

He needs to write a book called Killing Sexual Assault.

So my 78 year-old mother is visiting. She has an iPhone but doesn’t know much about using it. She does have a few apps downloaded - probably with the assistance of one of her friends. So I was giving her a tutorial on how to use them.

Does it make me a bad person that when she left the room, I deleted her Fox News app and replaced it with the CNN app? Bwaahaha.

It'd make you a bad person if you didn't.

Too bad you can't easily change the icons for the apps.

Not on an iPhone. But I think you can with Nova Launcher on Android.

This is a great resignation letter to Fox News from a former analyst to the network.

You can tell it was directed mainly at folks like Hannity, Tucker Carlson and the dimwits on Fox and Friends.
