Fox News Is Falling Apart Before Our Eyes As Bill O’Reilly Accused Of Sexual Harassment [AGAIN!]

In a scandal that could destroy the network, Andrea Tantaros' lawsuit against Fox News and Roger Ailes is exposing a network-wide culture of sexual harassment that included the most watched host on all of cable news, Bill O'Reilly.

In a scandal that could destroy the network, Andrea Tantaros’ lawsuit against Fox News and Roger Ailes is exposing a network-wide culture of sexual harassment that included the most watched host on all of cable news, Bill O’Reilly.

The New York Times reported:

“Fox News masquerades as a defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency and misogyny,” Ms. Tantaros’s suit says.

….
During arbitration, Mr. Burstein said, Fox News offered to pay her a sum “in the seven figures” if she renounced claims against Mr. Ailes and others at the network, including the host Bill O’Reilly. According to the lawsuit, Ms. Tantaros said she had been subjected to unwelcome advances from Mr. O’Reilly, whom she had regarded as a friend and adviser.

All that family values stuff that Fox News spent hours spewing was nothing more than marketing to socially conservative viewers. The problem for Fox News is that Tantaros’ lawsuit is threatening to blow the lid off the network and all of their dark secrets in public. This isn’t the first time that Bill O’Reilly has been accused of sexual harassment. In 2004, O’Reilly settled a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him by a Fox News producer.

The lawsuit accuses O’Reilly of trying to lure Tantaros to his Long Island home so that he could see her “wild side.” When she refused his advances, Tantaros was banned from appearing on O’Reilly’s show.

With reports running rampant that the backup plan for Donald Trump is if [WHEN] he loses the election is to team up with Roger Ailes and Breitbart to form a new conservative media empire, what we could be witnessing is the demise of Fox News. O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Greta Van Susteren all have clauses in their contracts that allow them to leave because Ailes is gone.

If Trump loses the election, the combination of the sexual harassment lawsuits and a new Ailes/Trump conservative media venture could trigger a mass exodus from Fox News.

Fox News is surrounded by internal and external threats, and the network is in more danger than most people in the media are willing to admit publicly.

The era of Fox News’ ratings dominance may be close to coming to an end.

Moniz: Fracking has been good for the environment

By JOHN SICILIANO • 8/15/16

The oil and gas boom is reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said Monday.

"The increased production of oil and natural gas in the United States has, obviously, been a major story in terms of our economy, and also our environment," Moniz said at a field hearing in Seattle convened by Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington, the top Democrat on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

"The natural gas boom, in particular, has led to the displacement of high-carbon coal with low-carbon natural gas producing fewer [carbon dioxide] emissions," Moniz said.

Moniz's comments follow those by the head of the Energy Information Administration, the Energy Department's analysis arm, earlier this month, indicating that carbon emissions are lower than they have been since 1992 because of increased reliance on natural gas from hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking.

Environmental groups have been heaping pressure on the Obama administration, Democrats and Republicans to support a ban on fracking, saying that the natural gas and oil produced from the process are raising greenhouse gas emissions and exacerbating climate change. Instead, they want 100 percent renewable energy.

Monday's hearing was meant to examine the increased pressure that oil and gas production has placed on the nation's infrastructure, especially for Cantwell's state that has become a key chokepoint for shipping U.S. fossil fuels and other commodities to foreign markets.

Moniz said the increased demand for moving oil and natural gas around the country has placed "big strains" on the nation's existing transportation infrastructure, where rail has been increasingly tapped to make up for the lag in pipeline capacity.

Nevertheless, slowing production has reduced pressure of rail shipments nationwide, except for the Northwest and Cantwell's state where traffic remains steady.

Cantwell, who supports taking steps to fight climate change and reduce emissions, did not appear opposed to keeping the oil trains from continuing to roll into her state. In fact, she said the oil and gas boom has achieved "energy independence" in making the nation less dependent on foreign oil.

NASA Study Nails Fracking as Source of Massive Methane 'Hot Spot' A NASA study released on Monday confirms that a methane "hot spot" in the Four Corners region of the American southwest is directly related to leaks from natural gas extraction, processing, and distribution.
