Does Anyone Know What Victim Means?


From this week’s The Week magazine …”a growing sexual harassment scandal forced [Roger Ailes] to accept a multi-million-dollar severance package from the network.”  

It’s rumored to be $ 40,000,000.  Who’s the victim here?

The Roger Ailes ‘settlement’ sucks
It totally misses the the crux
Of fairness and justice -
His power play lust is
Rewarded with millions of Bucks.

Now right wingers are complaining that without Roger Ailes at FOX ‘news’ there is no counterbalance to the ‘liberal’ press.  

That ‘liberal’ press that gave Trump more coverage than Hillary or Bernie and the Republicans 63% of all political coverage.  That ‘liberal’ press whose stories on Trump in 2015 ranged from a low 63% positive in the New York Times to 74% positive in USA Today.  (The National Enquirer was not part of the study.)  That ‘liberal’ press whose positive stories on Hillary in the same period were about 33%.  Though Bernie got less coverage than Trump or Clinton, roughly 75% of the stories about him were positive.  Yes that ‘liberal’ press.


Will Fox lose it’s edge on the air
When Ailes is no longer there?
It’s been feeding the nation
Misinformation
And calling it balanced and fair.
