Murdoch's Comments Stoking Outrage



There are reports that employees at the Fux Channel are in revolt over statements made by 86 year-old dessicated fart and reactionary media mogul Rupert "Aargh" Murdock that the recent sexual harassment incidents at Fux were overblown. In an interview with SkyNews last week, the sinister Murdoch called it "nonsense," saying:
“There was a problem with our chief executive over the years, isolated incidents. As soon as we investigated, he was out of the place in hours … well, three or four days. And there has been nothing else since then.”
While noting the sexual harassment by his late CEO Roger "Jabba The Nut" Ailes, Murdoch failed to acknowledge the forced departure of Fux's star Bill "O'Lielly" O'Reilly, along with Eric Bolling, over documented sexual harassment charges. That apparently didn't sit well with many former and current employees at Fux:
"Murdoch’s comments ignited a firestorm on social media, and the liberal Huffington Post website followed up by interviewing current and former Fox News personnel who complained that they had to endure a toxic workplace culture and that their complaints were far from nonsense. The women also bristled over Murdoch’s comment that some of the problems 'probably amount to a bit of flirting' — rather than harassment." (emphasis added)
If there's anything that will bring a silent victim forward, it's the type of dismissive, defamatory statements that Murdoch and his defenders issue. We might expect some additional voices coming out of Fux in the weeks ahead, if only to demonstrate what a dishonest prick old Rupert is.
