(90,461 posts)and stuck their necks out about the sexual predator Roger Ailes. She stayed mum while Gretchen Carlson came forward and took the flack and took the risks and put herself on the firing line. I'm NO fan of Gretchen Carlson, but I will say in her favor that she went up against the bad guys, and went first. Where was Megyn? Answer? Nowhere. Other women braved the expected attacks and criticism and came forward. They came forward and verified - and brought into the light their own experiences on that, and put THEIR necks on the line, too. And again, where was Megyn? Answer? Nowhere to be found. She stayed nice 'n' quiet til most of the shouting had been done and most of the names had been named and most of the accusations had been made public. And only THEN did she peek out of her protective shell to join the chorus. Last in line. With her elevated status there, she could have led the way and been a true heroine. And evidently since she had her own episodes with Roger Ailes, she SHOULD have.
She's from Pox Noise. She stayed quiet, not making any accusations or filing any complaints or going public, and nice 'n' safe away from the firing line while other women on staff took the risk and the flack. I tend not to trust ANYONE who's been at Pox Noise - particularly one who had her prominence and length of service. So I will not trust her now. Just because she threw trump a challenging question doesn't absolve her from those years she put in, in that den of vermin, immersed in that mindset for all those years. That has an impact, over time. I don't trust her AT ALL.
Merely switching cable TV networks will NOT be sufficient to wash that stain away, or sweeten her little hand.
