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

Posted on 07/22/2020 10:01:36 AM PDT by Texas Fossil

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.

Sigh, lawsuits during the political silly season are big and wide and full of BS. Especially those about Sexual harassment.

I’m glad she’s gone. The mental illness radiates off her like heat from a radiator. Never added anything useful.

Note: it takes little or no evidence to FILE A LAWSUIT and if it is politically advantageous, the law firm may do it for free! Gloria Allred has gotten a lot of airtime with various lawsuits brought against non-LEFT candidates during campaign seasons. What is interesting is that one almost never hears anything more about the outcome of the same.

Curious that ...

With all the BS that’s been played as destructionist lawfare in the realm of sexual harassment, I’m to the point that if the “victim” stays in that company after the first “incident” then prosecute for prostitution.

Areu

the liberal shrew. What was Tucker thinking having her on his program - she offered zero to the content and was hard to watch.

As noted in my initial response when the story broke, She’s a liar and will spew anything to be contrary.

I watch Tucker all the time, but have no idea who that woman is. I do not believe her for one minute nevertheless.

She's appeared on both Hannity and Tucker quite a few times. But that was like a couple of years ago. A nasty far left Dem propagandist.

You know Fox. They have to be “fair and balanced”. That’s why we have Juan Williams etc.

He has a job for life, imagine the lawsuits he would bring if he were fired even though he offers zero and has no fans that watch.
