17:56Now PlayingTwenty more women have come forward saying Fox News boss Roger Ailes either sexually harassed or sexually assaulted them. He allegedly told one woman, "Well, you might have to give a blow job every once in a while.” Mr. Ailes denies everything. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The Murdochs have arranged for an outside attorney to investigate the claims that Ailes committed sexual harassment by demanding sexual favors in exchange for furthering the career of former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson. Carlson said her refusal to yield to Ailes' sexual advances in a meeting last September ultimately led him to oust her from the network in retaliation last month.
The allegations of sexual harassment were contained in a lawsuit Carlson filed in a New Jersey court last week. Over the weekend, six other women came forward with closely tracking allegations, though the two women willing to be identified by name cited incidents that would have occurred decades ago.
Through an attorney, Ailes has denied all the charges, including the newest allegations. He says Carlson is retaliating against him for allowing her contract at the network to lapse late last month. His aides gave to NPR and other news outlets a memo that Fox says Ailes wrote and sent just days after that meeting in which Ailes directed Bill Shine, the senior Fox executive in charge of the network's programming, to develop a prime-time special for Carlson, to promote it — and to check how well it did in the ratings.
Associates of Ailes say that memo shows his decision to drop Carlson had nothing to do with sex and everything to do with ratings. Fox also shared handwritten notes of thanks Carlson sent to Ailes for helping her — and asking for chances to do more.”*
