Fox's Kurtz Says He'll 'Stick To The Facts' When Covering Ailes Sexual Harassment Case
It seems poor old Shep isn't the only Roger Ailes' lackey expected to carry water for their boss after former Fox host Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit against Ailes for sexual harassment.
Media Buzz host Howard Kurtz took his turn in the box this Sunday in defending Ailes, and promised he was going to "stick to the facts" when covering this story. Too bad he decided to omit the fact that Gretchen Carlson isn't the only one making similar accusations against Ailes.
He did mention that Ailes is trying to force this thing into arbitration. Let's hope he doesn't get away with burying the suit.
Here's a partial transcript of Kurtz and his water carrying. Kurtz is such a tool. He's a perfect fit over on Fox.
KURTZ: Carlson's Real Story generally won its time slot, but it's the lowest rated show in FNC and last month lost in the key viewer demographic to CNN. Carlson, the former co-host of Fox & Friends also makes allegations about Steve Doocy, who's not a defendant, saying he created a hostile work environment by treating her in a condescending and sexist way.
