Prominent Fox News channel daily anchor Ed Henry was summarily fired yesterday as the #MeToo movement has apparently claimed its latest mark. The announcement came in an internal email to Fox News staff early Wednesday morning, followed by an email to journalists including this author that featured a screen shot of the internal email announcing Henry's "termination." The cause for Henry's dismissal was alleged confirmation after a brief "independent investigation" of "a complaint about Ed Henry from a former employee's attorney involving willful sexual misconduct in the workplace years ago."
No further details of Henry's alleged "sexual misconduct" have been provided, nor has any new information been published by the media. Henry's first response was in a terse tweet at 7:51 PM Wednesday that quoted his attorney, Catherine Foti: "Ed Henry denies the allegations referenced in the Fox announcement and is confident that he will be vindicated after a full hearing in an appropriate forum." According to the Associated Press, "The alleged victim [who made the allegations] is represented by noted sexual harassment attorney Douglas Wigdor. He also would not provide any details of the case."
Henry, 48, has worked for Fox News since 2011. Previously, he reported for CNN for seven years and prior to that he wrote for The Hill. At Fox News, Henry started as the White House correspondent and later served as a frequent studio anchor. Last December 19, it was announced that he would be promoted to co-hosting his own daily show, America's Newsroom, with Sandra Smith M-F 9 AM-12 noon ET, starting on January 20, 2020.

OANN would be foolish to hire him. He’s radioactive.
Why would they want this never-Trumper?
Agreed
Why is it any of your business.
The guy was a creep. Ask his ex wife. He shacked up with a bimbo in Vegas and that got him divorced.
Fox has had enough crap going on in their office. It’s costs the company millions of dollars. Only a fool would pull any crap at the office.
These people do not work for us. The exact issue is not our business. 90% of the folks here just want prurient details and pictures of the woman.
Yeah Where were all the questions on Tara Reid when he came out of the basement this week?
“He’s white.” “He’s male”. He’s GUILTY!!!!”, say the Marxist Democrats.
That won't do at Fox.
No, I think 90% want to know if he really did something bad (Like, say Matt Lauer), or if he was fired over nothing, like complimenting a woman's appearance.
Not that I have heard.
I see a pattern here:
Roger Ailes: Catholic
Bill O’Reilly: Catholic
Ed Henry: Catholic
The FoxNews statement does onto say what the sexual harassment was. It could be simply stating that marriage of two people of the same sex is not really matrimony to a flaming fruit. Or calling a flaming fruit a flaming fruit. What flaming fruit left FoxNews to return to Oxford MS a few months ago?
What pattern?
Joe Biden: Catholic
People do not get fired for that. If you think they do, then you haven’t been in the workplace for a long, long time.
If they brought in outside counsel to do the investigation, then it is pretty clear he did something either against the existing policies and probably outside the bounds of his contract.
And yes, I am sure FOX has zero tolerance for this stuff.
He should have known better.
Only a dumbass would make such an assumption.
Only someone who has never been involved with an Sexual misconduct investigation would assume this was over “nothing.”
It doesn’t work that way.
“this raises serious questions about Ed’s lack of judgment, especially given his position as a journalist.”
Because no journalists ever have affairs. At least, not bisexual affairs. They are too busy fucking America.
From the article:
"No further details of Henry’s alleged “sexual misconduct” have been provided, nor has any new information been published by the media."
“It would be nice if he was the first FOX Newser to move on to OANN! Were it too happen - there would be more to follow.”
WHAT? Ed Henry is SCUM! He’s NOT a conservative. He’s a SNAKE, personally and professionally.
Good riddance to Ed Horny.
Yup. A Vegas stripper. I despised him after that.
Nancy Pelosi. CATHOLIC..SORT OF!!!
Don’t base your livelihood on the MSM and have an affair. Just don’t, unless you don’t need the job anymore.
This guy in trade for the dozens of much bigger Leftists we have taken down with #MeToo? Im good.
