Fox News has come under fire recently, as revelations from lawsuits against them have caused Democrats to call for the network’s removal from the airwaves. The lawsuits, which involve sexual harassment and racial discrimination, have been in the public eye since July when two former Fox News employees, a former Fox News host and a former Fox News contributor, filed separate lawsuits against the company.
The allegations in the two lawsuits include claims of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racial discrimination. The former Fox News host, Gretchen Carlson, claimed that she was fired after she refused to have a sexual relationship with Fox News’ former CEO, Roger Ailes. The former contributor, Rod Wheeler, claimed he was fired from the network after he uncovered evidence that Fox News fabricated a story about the death of former Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich.
In response to these allegations, Democrats have called for Fox News to be removed from the airwaves. The Democratic National Committee has condemned Fox News’ “culture of discrimination, harassment, and intimidation” and has called on advertisers to pull their support from the network. Several Democrats, including Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), have urged Congress to take action to remove Fox News from the airwaves.
The future of Fox News is unclear, as the network continues to face harsh criticism from Democrats and the public. Fox News has denied all allegations of discrimination and harassment and has said that it will vigorously defend itself in court. It is also unclear what action, if any, Congress will take with regards to Fox News.
The controversy surrounding Fox News is likely to continue, as more lawsuits and allegations come to light. While the future of Fox News remains uncertain, it is clear that the network is facing a huge backlash from Democrats and the public. It remains to be seen if Fox News will survive the current controversy or if it will be forced off the airwaves.
