Sherman said that Fox News was an outlaw operation compared to other News Corp properties in the US and Rupert tolerated Ailes as long as FNC was the most profitable part of News Corp. Now that Ailes is gone News Corp is going through the hierarchy and they found a number of high paid employees who answered only to Ailes. They have gotten rid of them as soon as they found them so far. As I have been seeing on Twitter today, if Gretchen Carlson had not had the courage to speak out we would not get to know any of this. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
