The crumbling lawsuit against Fox News
The Spectator USA ^ | July 21, 2020 3:27 PM | Amber Athey

The new lawsuit filed by two women against Fox News and several of its personalities is riddled with inaccuracies. This raises questions about the veracity of its claims. Jennifer Eckhart and Cathy Areu, a former Fox Business producer and frequent network guest, respectively, claim that they suffered sexual misconduct, harassment, and even rape at the hands of Ed Henry, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Howard Kurtz.

The lawsuit immediately made waves in the mainstream media, where it was picked up by the New York Times, CNN, the Washington Post, CBS News, and other major outlets. It has been a top trending topic on Twitter since its filing. However, a review of several claims made in the suit reveals many basic inaccuracies. A lawyer for Eckhart and Areu admitted to The Spectator that errors were made in the filing, and The Spectator has learned that Carlson’s wife was with him the evening Areu claims that he told her he would be alone.

Areu, who claims that she was sexually harassed by Carlson, says that her last appearance on Carlson’s program in 2018 was prior to ‘the annual Christmas party’, which has been reported by other outlets as referring to the network’s party. According to Areu, ‘the show was filmed live in New York City and Mr Carlson was in New York City at the studio.’

Fox News’s 2018 Christmas party took place on December 10, 2018, according to social media posts from multiple FNC employees.

Many years ago Tucker Carlson was falsely accused of rape by a woman who claimed that he raped her on a table in a restaurant while other guests were there. It had supposedly happened on a particular day in a particular city—one that Tucker had never been to. Even though it should have been very easy to disprove the accusation, his employer (I think that was before he was at Fox) offered him no help. I think the woman was just a nut job rather than an activist.

There are far too many nut jobs who have an attraction to the ComDems. They feel it is a badge of honor to accuse the enemy of crimes that are commonplace within Dem circles.

The problem is what is between her ears.

A vacuum with a little air added.
