    When Mae West invited the cowboy to COME UP AND SEE ME SOMETIME, when he does, he was still invited.

    Your point being what?

    So you too will be OK if Ailes lies through his teeth under oath in this lawsuit that has been filed so he can get out of it?

    And answer me this do you approve of executives and bosses in the federal government to"invite" subordinate workers into their federal office to have sex with them while they are in the job? And then give special treatment and rewards to those that do accept those invitations?

    Ahhh yes Clinton was far worse because it wasn't just about having an affair was it. It was about sexual harassment in the workplace and a federal lawsuit in which he conspired with another person to commit perjury and obstruction of justice and then did so. And that does even get into all the other women he sexually harassed and/or assaulted. So stop trying to make these moral equivalency based on lies of omission. And if Trump did the same he should NOT be elected President don't you think?

    So answer me this do you approve of executives and bosses in the federal government to"invite" subordinate workers into their federal office to have sex with them while they are in the job? And then give special treatment and rewards to those that do accept those invitations?

    And if Ailes commits perjury and obstruction of justice in the lawsuit he faces are you going to defend him too?

    Depends on the weight of the evidence which you have not presented.

    Yet we know for a fact what I stated about Clinton.

    How about not dodging this time..

    So answer me this do you approve of executives and bosses in the federal government to"invite" subordinate workers into their federal office to have sex with them while they are in the job? And then give special treatment and rewards to those that do accept those invitations?

    And if Ailes commits perjury and obstruction of justice in the lawsuit he faces are you going to defend him too

    The uncouth Roger Ailes

    by Dylan Byers @CNNMoney
    July 28, 2016: 4:26 PM ET


    How Roger Ailes reshaped media and politics
    Fox News chief Roger Ailes was listening to Fred Ryan make his case.
    It was 2011 and Ryan, then the CEO of Politico, was on a mission to repair relations between the two media organizations, sources with knowledge of the situation said. Years earlier, Fox News had banned Politico reporters from its airwaves because of suspicions of anti-Fox bias, and Ryan was pushing for a fresh start.
    Then, according to the sources, Ailes told Ryan what he wanted: He wanted fair coverage from Politico; he wanted the website to take stock of Fox News' successes, not just its controversies; and he wanted Politico to stop taking talking points from "that (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) David Brock."
    The derogatory term Ailes used to describe Brock, the founder of the liberal watchdog group Media Matters For America, so shocked Ryan that he felt compelled to relay it to friends and colleagues, three of whom told CNNMoney about it this week. (Ryan declined to comment.)
    To those who know Ailes, however, the story would not be surprising at all. The former Fox News chief, who stepped down last week amid sexual harassment allegations, regularly makes coarse and derogatory statements about women, homosexuals, Jews and racial minorities, several sources who have met with him said.
    Related: Fox News investigation is "winding down"
    Indeed, many believe Ailes' derogatory language played a role in his departure from NBCUniversal in 1996. Officially, Ailes -- then president and CEO of the CNBC and America's Talking channels -- resigned from the network because he was "uncomfortable" with recent restructuring. But a year earlier, according to biographer Gabriel Sherman, Ailes had called NBC executive David Zaslav "a little f-----g Jew prick," prompting NBC to launch an investigation.
    (NBC did not address the investigation, and both Ailes and Zaslav have denied Sherman's reporting, but Bob Wright, the former NBC chairman and CEO who was Ailes's boss at the time, told Sherman, "My conclusion was that he probably said it.")
    Ailes' language also contributed to his downfall at Fox News. In addition to being accused of making unwanted advances, Ailes has been accused of making a litany of inappropriate remarks about women's faces and bodies.
    One former Fox host recently told CNNMoney that Ailes once said to her, "Walk down the hallway slower, I want to get a look at those legs." A former staffer told the Washington Post, "He would say things like, 'She's really got the goods' and 'look at the tits on that one.'" Sometimes, the staffer said, he joked "that he liked having women on their knees."
    Susan Estrich, Ailes' legal counsel, took issue with the anecdotes included in this article.
    "These worn out and inaccurate gossip items were shot down years ago," Estrich wrote in an email. "For example, the story about Roger and Mr. Zaslav was debunked by the only two participants who could have been on the call, both of whom proved that such a conversation never took place. Yet it continues to be repeated as if it were true. My experience is that if a reporter makes up and repeats phony or fabricated stories, it may make the reporter feel better but it doesn't make the stories true."

    FOX “Family Values” News Correspondent Arrested For Rape, Sodomy




    A Fox News alumnus has been arrested and charged with rape. Orlando Salinas, 57, was arrested July 28 on two felony charges of rape and sodomy. The arrest of Salinas comes after a grand jury was convened in relation to an incident which is alleged to have transpired January 11, 2016. Due to the nature of the charge, the victim’s identity is not being revealed. However court documents do stipulate that the individual Salinas is accused of raping is not his wife.

    The fall from public life for Salinas came in April 2015 when he was fired from local Florida television WDBJ7 after three years of employment for insubordination and an “unending stream of conflicts with co-workers.” Before working at WDBJ7 Salinas was a correspondent for Fox News for twelve years from 2000 – 2012 who was known for his combative interview style.

    From Fox hosts Bill O’Reilly settling a sexual harrassment lawsuit, to Brian Kilmead joking that a woman who was beaten on an elevator “should have taken the stairs” and now with the recent departure of Fox CEO Roger Ailes over sexual harassment allegations over 25 women have come forward with awful decade’s long tales of mistreatment, it is clear Fox has long cultivated a culture of misogyny and male entitlement.

    After Salinas left the news business he began a new career as a Remax real estate agent. In an Dec. 2015 “Whatever happened to?” interview, Salinas’ boss Amy Hudson said, “He’s a wonderful people person. People who know who he is really trust him.”

    The judge who set Salinas’ bond did not agree with Hudson’s assessment of Salinas’ trustworthy nature, as he is being held at Montgomery County Jail without bond. Each charge levied against Salinas carries a minimum of five years and a maximum of life in prison. His next scheduled court date is Oct. 29.
