I’ve blogged about this a number of times before as to FOX News having the vast majority of its female on-air personalities appear as if they were either former cheerleaders, models, or beauty pageant contestants (like the Plaintiff in this Sexual Harassment lawsuit, former Miss America Gretchen Carlson) rather than mediocre-looking women who possess intelligent journalistic savvy.

If it’s true that Ratings are everything in the TV network business — and we all know that Sex promotes viewers to watch a certain TV program/network — then, I guess, there’s no place for mediocre-looking people on television despite how much “journalistic integrity” they may possess.

Granted, Mr. Ailes is certainly entitled to his ‘Day in Court’ on this lawsuit, but, perception-wise, Ms. Carlson’s charges in her lawsuit sound extremely “Believable” right about now, in light of FOX’s history with on-air female personalities. If Ms. Carlson’s allegations are true, then this is a Text Book case of Sexual Harassment — and Pattern of Behavior — in its purest form. And now, the Huffington Post has reported that about 10 former female employees from FOX News have already come forward to support Ms. Carlson’s allegations in this case.

Prediction: I think Roger Ailes and FOX News will pay Gretchen Carlson a “ton of money” to settle this lawsuit, out of court, in much the same fashion as it did with its top-rated star, Bill O’Reilly when he got whacked with a Sexual Harassment lawsuit several years ago from — you guessed it — a then-FOX News employee.

P.S. This now begs the question, Why was Andrea Tantaros terminated from FOX News a couple months ago? Did Tantaros ever engage in a sexual relationship with either Mr. Ailes or one of the other ‘big wigs’ at FOX News? It’s sort of amazing how none of the specifics of Ms. Tantaros’ firing (just before her Book was about to be publicly released) ever came into fruition.
