The past year may be Fox News’ most tumultuous period since the network was formed in 1996. In twelve months, the network lost its CEO and two biggest stars. In all three cases, allegations of sexual harassment were to blame.
The most significant departure for Fox News may also be its least visible. Roger Ailes, who led the cable news network since its founding, was forced out after several women stepped forward with sexual harassment accusations. Several months after Ailes’ departure, a similar fate befell Bill O’Reilly.
Ailes and O’Reilly’s behavior also led to the departure of Megyn Kelly, according to reports. Kelly, the star of the network’s second highest-rated show, left for NBC after corroborating the stories of Ailes’ accusers. Kelly’s relationship with O’Reilly was also strained, according to Fox News insiders.
But the story gets more interesting when you consider the role looks played in the hiring of Kelly and many of her female colleagues.

WELL DAMN, IT’S BETTER THAN LOOKING AT DON LEMON OR CANDACE CROWLEY OR ANDREA MITCHELL OR AL SHARPTON OR CHRIS MATTHEWS
Oh now a bunch of lieing cunts
It’s not that sex sells but pretty and handsome for sure gets you into the door. That’s just a fact of life. If your talented in addition to being good looking you might just end up on Fox News. Attractiveness is let’s just say attractive!
What I don’t appreciate is for these attractive women who used their good looks to get into the door then get all offended when someone notices.
While I am by no means defending true sexual harassment in the work place I totally reject how it’s currently being applied.
That’s sexist
So, what’s wrong with beautiful women reporters, etc.? Would you rather watch Whoopie or Rosie? LOL
Yeah? Works for me.
If it were a ‘left’ sided station, the guy would have been given a pass.
These women are beautiful, but they are also smart and most have a legal degree – you don’t have to be ugly and look like Rachel M. to be successful
Stupid, selling looks .
who wrote that? Yuri or Bannon? lol
