Fox News announced Wednesday it had dismissed America's Newsroom host Ed Henry over sexual misconduct allegations. In a memo to all staff, FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and FOX News Media President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace said they received a complaint from the attorney of a former employee on June 25.The complaint charged Henry, one of Fox's top news anchors, with willful sexual misconduct in the workplace years ago. It comes as Henry was rebuilding his career following a four-month leave of absence in 2016 due to an extra-marital affair with a Las Vegas cocktail waitress.

Couldn't read the entire article because of ad block, but from what I glean this is a mere allegation that happened years ago. Whatever happened to due process? What a shame. Hope he will be reinstated again. Very disheartening and unfair.

Ed Henry created the ridiculous "take a listen" . Now almost everyone on Fox uses it and it drives me even crazier than I already am. Maybe if he's gone, that stupid phrase will go with him.

I liked Mr. Henry. I so admired him when he supported his sister by giving her part of his liver. This act saved her life. Why do so many have trouble with fidelity? And where does this need come from to sexually harrass another person?

Buh-bye, anti-Trumper. Maybe this explains his bile against the Trump Administration over the past few months: he was auditioning for CNN.

And Lemonhead will be dismissed from CNN in five, four, three, never. I don't watch Fox, so I wasn't aware that Ed was a never Trumper. It seems like news people, government critters, and Hollywood folks are a bunch of perverts. Are these "professions" the places where perverts go for cover? Good grief!

What evidence doyou allhave that Ed Henry was anti Trump?Tome,he always treated him fairly,giving both sides of the story.He never editorialized.He reported straight news.

Personally, I thought he was one of the better anchors. Like #6, I saw him as a level-headed reporter, even kinder to PDT than many others. Personal indiscretions are going to mark 99% of people in this day and age. Don't condone his behavior, but would Fox would fire Juan Williams or other lefties for their personal sins? They only "clean house" on the center right folks. Oh well, I'm sick of 24 hour news these days. So depressing. I've taken Rush's advice and turned it off. I'm looking for some man bites dog stories--like the couple in MS, until a leftist Soros legal pawn starts to investigate them.
November can't come soon enough. Polls, schmolls! I'm praying for a TRUMP 2020 LANDSLIDE!!!

He was fired for something that happened years ago but was the topic of a 25 June complaint. Then the article goes off spending the majority of the keystrokes on his dalliance with a Vegas, whatever she was, that led to his time out in 2016.
I don't condone his horndogery but this doesn't quite smell right to me.

The standard excuse to do 'political cleansing' of Fox. Expect Hannity and Carlson to be next.
Fake allegations...boom, fired. I liked Ed Henry.

#2 I thought I was the only one that hated "Take a listen." Brett Baer uses it too.
He has a beautiful wife and children. Too bad he ruined his family.

They all hate PDT at Fox except for maybe Hannity, Watters and Kilmeade. Don't fool yourselves that Tucker and Laura like him.

This woman claims to be a good christian girl...yet she had a months long affair with a married man,
She also claimed no connection to a Vegas strip club yet a picture of her has surfaced of her in their pool with two other girls.
Now she is heart-broken the cad broke up with her to be with his wife
I am so sick of these gold-diggers that run to a lawyer after they chose freely to enter this relationship.
PS...You were not that good honey and you are not that cute.

I would like to see that they have proof. I don’t think allegations are enough to fire a person. I like Ed Henry especially since he went to a college in my hometown, Siena College.

One thing about the Fox News Channel these days, they have some really stupid talking heads, especially in the daytime, who think they know everything, and continuously talk over their expert guests, many times just as the guest was getting ready to explain a very important point. When you have an expert guest like General Jack Kean trying to explain a complex foreign affairs or military fact, talking heads should not be swinging into action talking over him.
