00:00 We've received a statement about the sexual harassment from Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.
00:04 "Why that's just terrible. I don't know how many times I've told those boys never call chicks broads."
00:12 So Gretchen Carlson was let go from Fox News this week, and she promptly filed a
00:16 lawsuit against its CEO Roger Ailes alleging widespread sexual harassment.
00:20 In the lawsuit, Carlson said that she was fired for refusing to sleep with Ailes.
00:24 She also said that she faced "disparaging treatment in the newsroom." We have proof
00:28 at least of that second part. Yesterday, Bloomberg Politics posted this
00:32 compilation of sexist remarks she faced while hosting Fox & Friends.
00:36 "Just look at her today. Beautiful dress. She looks wonderful."
00:39 "Brian, can you tell Gretchen she is definitely winning today. She looks amazing."
00:44 "Wow. Okay, because HR's on the phone because you called me a skirt."
00:47 "Yeah, I apologize. I gotta read that manual again."
00:52 "I'll bring it to your office right after the show."
00:54 Ailes denied the allegations in a statement and said,
00:56 "This is a retaliatory suit for the network's decision not to renew her
01:00 contract, which was due to the fact that her disappointingly low ratings were
01:04 dragging down the afternoon lineup." Her old show, The Real Story, is now hosted by
01:08 Shepard Smith. Gretchen Carlson has thanked her fans on Twitter with the
01:12 hashtag #StandWithGretchen. Daniel Lockerbie said, "I bet they're the type of
01:15 guys that pass each other little notes saying, 'Do you think she likes me?'"
01:18 Malsy Matters said, "This is being pervy, not complimenting. The fact that some men
01:23 can't distinguish the two explains why they are still virgins, most likely."
