Ex-Fox News host secretly recorded Ailes: report
The Hill ^ | 02 September 2016 | Joe Concha

Posted on 09/02/2016 4:12:26 PM PDT by Theoria

Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson secretly recorded inappropriate statements made by former Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, New York Magazine reported Friday.

Carlson recorded conversations with Ailes for at least a year and captured "numerous incidents" of harassment on her phone, the report said.

"I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago, and then you'd be good and better and I'd be good and better," one recording of Ailes speaking to Carlson reportedly says.

"Sometimes problems are easier to solve that way," Ailes, 76, allegedly also told Carlson, 50, at another point.

A source in the report says the recorded meetings with Ailes occurred between 2014 and 2015.

Carlson filed a lawsuit against Ailes in July. He resigned amid an internal investigation 15 days later.

Carlson is doable but can she get away with a secret recording. Is that admissible in New York??

Good for her!!! BTW this proves the lies of others defending Ailes. Anyway, for a network that hires mostly blondes and women for their looks, what would anyone expect?

I was suspicious of Carlson’s claim at first, but no wonder she recorded their meetings when she was alone with him. He’s a sick man who clearly used his position to sexually harass women and I’m glad he’s gone.

Screw New York and I have no doubt that a Federal judge will say the same thing.

I believe it is okay in NY—in many states you would have to inform the other party of the recording.

I love the quote, but no actual recording.

Reminds me of hands up don’t shoot.

Yep—and how many of her fellow Fox colleagues rushed to Ailes’ defense and publicly doubted her claims?

Almost all of them, it seems. Human nature can be very unattractive at times.

Honestly, I doubt many of them believed it about him, so I’m not going to bash them. He was selective on his victims.

BTW, this is a good distraction from Hillary and all her lies.

With Hillary it’s fact from the FBI.

This is just rumors with quotes, but no actual recording.

It’s just like, “Hands up don’t shoot” quote that turned out to be a lie.

I’m not saying this is not true, but where is the evidence? Right now it’s conspiracy theory

While at the Same Time Hillary and the FBI is fact.

Thant is why he was summarily fired by Murdock. He knew about the tapes. Ailes is a total scum. I knew that when he attacked Trump using MyGYN kelly at the debate in her vicious attack. It was all a bunch of scum. Go TRUMP!!

Maybe Ailes and Weiner/Danger/Mongoose can get together and start their own news channel.
