Fox News Host Eric Bolling Suspended After Lewd Photo Accusation

Over texts sent years ago? Fishy at best.

The linked article mentioned Bolling was an advocate of the Trump presidency? If Bolling were an advocate of Trump's, why would Bolling push for repeal but not replace of ACA from the beginning of this year's healthcare debate - before Trump decided simply repealing ACA was acceptable. When Trump had previously said the GOP's repeal and replace bill for ACA was 'mean'? What does Bolling, supposedly, being an advocate of Trump's have anything to do with him, again supposedly, texting male genitalia?

Bolling professes to be a Conservative while Trump just has some conservative tendencies.

As your post indicates, inconsistency among pundits and even Presidents, is pretty consistent.

I'm pointing out the NBC article is incorrect when it mentions Bolling is affiliated with Trump. If, for example, Bernie Sanders and Hillary believe all college students should have their college tuition reinbursed by the government, do they have the same political philosophy? NO. They don't. Matter of fact, Bolling and Trump disagree on many issues of largeness of government, for example.
Besides, how do those small intersections of beliefs between Bolling and Trump turn into the 'affiliation' reported by the NBC article? Again, I guess NBC must think Bernie and Hillary have the same political philosophy.

Just ask CPWILL (another DP poster), for example, if Trump is a Conservative like Bolling.

The linked article----and I did read it----states......

Bolling, a co-host of the nightly Fox News program "The Specialists," is among the most vocal defenders of President Donald Trump on the network. His contract was recently renewed, and in a statement in June, Fox News co-president Suzanne Scott said Bolling's "insight is valued, and we are pleased to have him at the network for many more years to come."

I'm not certain how or why you are conflating that paragraph into NBC somehow claiming Trump and Bolling are, as you say, "affiliated".
The article states that Bolling is a Trump supporter.:shrug:
Am I missing something?

Vocal defender? That's not true. Why was it even placed in the NBC article except as an attempt to 'nick' Trump in the process?

Now you're changing from your "affiliated" claim to what the article actually states, "vocal defender".
This is progress!!
I haven't paid much attention to Bolling for a few years.
He's an obnoxious blowhard.....kinda like Trump actually-----so I would be surprised if he isn't a vocal defender of Trump.
I'm going to use google and see if I can find an example of Bolling not defending Trump.
Truth will out.

I'm guessing you posted this because of your dislike of Bolling. I'll never understand the schadenfreude.

HuffPo is apparently the original source:

Recipients of the photo confirmed its contents to HuffPost, which is not revealing their identities. The women, who are Bolling’s current and former Fox colleagues, concluded the message was from him because they recognized his number from previous work-related and informal interactions. The messages were sent several years ago, on separate occasions.

...Four people, outside of the recipients, confirmed to HuffPost they’d seen the photo, and eight others said the recipients had spoken to them about it.

For this story, HuffPost spoke to 14 sources in and out of Fox News and Fox Business, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity either because they currently work at the networks and aren’t allowed to speak to members of the press without prior authorization or because they have confidentiality agreements with Fox News and its parent company 21st Century Fox.

So, I googled "Eric Bolling attacks Trump" and got 576,000 results.
The first 2 pages contain nothing but stories about Bolling DEFENDING Trump.
I guess I could wade through all the results, but I think the point is made.

Quit fooling yourself. Just because they don't share all the same interests doesn't mean that Bolling didn't want Trump to win. He did, and if you've ever watched him bloviate daily. You'd know this. I seem to recall Sanders bending over backwards for Hillary and the entire DNC after he backed out of the election. So don't act like Bolling wouldn't do that in a heart beat for a job at the WH.

No I posted this because it's a trending news story and it apparently shows the Murdoch bros cleaning up a toxic culture at Fox News which I am happy about. I also follow pundits in the media very closely.
 
You know, Eric always seemed like a nice guy, but I always felt that there was something fishy as hell about him pointing at his wedding ring at the start of every episode of The Five.
 
OK, I understand a little if you sent these like 10 years ago before lives and careers started getting trashed over it. But if you are still even taking nude selfies on your phone and not deleting them, much less sending them to people, you get what you get.
Background. I sent a naked polaroid of me doing the Burt Reynolds pose to my first wife from my Navy barracks room in like 1974, along with a letter. Unknown to me, she would have her BFF open letters from me and read them to her while at work. So I did this just one time and it blew up on me.
 
Have these women filed charges, or just looking board the FNC settlement train before moving on to MSLSD?
