For example a lot of people attacked Ford for not remembering every detail about Kavanaugh assaulting her (allegedly). This accuser has very specific memories. Doesn't make her right or him guilty but if she couldn't even remember what he was wearing she would probably be ripped for "not remembering such a traumatic event".
Actually, it makes her allegation even weaker. She can remember details like this but cannot provide specifics as to what Carlson said? The complaint alleges that it was "abundantly clear" that Carlson was propositioning her. If it was so clear what did he say that made it so? One would think that his words would be of key importance, yet the allegation contains not one direct quote from Carlson. The way it is worded Carlson could easily have been lamenting that he was stuck in the city away from his wife and kids, not offering the information as a hint that he's by himself and would like to sleep with this woman.

Quite honestly, if this story was released at a time other than right after, and before, other negative pieces of Carlson came out I'd tend to agree with you. The other reason is no one knows who Henry is and Hannity and Carlson are big names that will attract readers.
Quote:This is lent credence by the fact that, in the complaint against Henry, they clearly outline how Fox News tried to, essentially, cover it up and fire Henry as a means of concealing their cultural problems.
Agreed, but I don't think the inclusion of Carlson and Hannity actually does that as neither allegation against them is particularly compelling.
Quote:I agree that the complaint against Tucker is very weak and likely won't stick outside of the aforementioned cultural problems at the network.
Thank you for actually being objective. I honestly don't see how anyone can read the complaint against Carlson and finding it damning in any way.
Quote:The Henry stuff, on the other hand, is absolutely disgusting and they seem to have texts and other things to back them up (possible existence of photos that he took as blackmail fodder may be something an investigation could uncover).
For sure, and I said as much from the very first post in this thread. The Henry stuff is absolutely vile.
