Amen.

...while this racist misogynist was a problem and we’re glad to see him go, he was just one branch sprung from a tree that is rotten to the core. O’Reilly was just a bad symptom; Fox news is the f*****g disease.

...while you can take some comfort from knowing that some of the deplorables at Fox News have been exposed and held accountable, do not mistake the symptom for the disease. Fox News is still, and always will be,a welcoming environment for racists and sexual predators. The real takeaway from Bill O’Reilly’s downfall should be that at Fox News they’ll tolerate powerful men who like to grab women by the *****, but they draw the line when you start to grab Fox News by the wallet.

It did seem like kind of a top-down thing.
 
Yeah, I agree.

First the #1 man, then the #2. I firmly believe that in organizations things flow from the top. Fox is the problem. There were no ethical considerations until the end. There were only capital decisions. And the advertising money was leaving ...
 
But Fox "News" supports "family values"! /snark

Well, it is foreign owned. What is it with you righties? One almost gets the idea that the only foreigners that you all don't like are the brown ones.

It sounds like you people don't like the white ones. White guilt much?

Good link. Really demonstrates the atmosphere at FOX. I noticed this comment, and it really rings true.

Most notably, because Fox has created, and therefore embraced a hate-filled environment that welcomes all forms of prejudice. Unabashed prejudiced hate-spewing that, in addition to being a staple of O’Reilly’s show, is mirrored by several other privileged hosts throughout the network.
 
This HuffPo link sure doesn't hold back it's analysis of the FOX environment.

We all remember Roger Ailes ― the man 20 women accused of sexual harassment, which led him into early retirement. Well, under his guidance women at Fox News were instructed “to wear your skirts short and your heels high,”

My guess is that the writer must be able to back this up, otherwise he could be hit with a lawsuit. Amazing.

For what? For hiring people who later became involved in sexual harassment?
