(MENAFN) Fox news was insulted by Don Lemon, CNN reporter, right after The New York Times released a report on Saturday stating that Fox News network extended the contract of Bill O'Reilly, its former host, following the a fine worth $32 million in a settlement of sexual harassment.
"Brought to you from the network that constantly criticizes other networks on morals & integrity. Hypocrisy much?" is said using Twitter by Lemon, pointing about their double standards to the world.
In February, a contract of a four-year extension with a value of $25 million was established among Fox News and O'Reilly. However, the decision was not appreciated and considered horrifying by former Fox host Gretchen Carlos, who suffered from sexual harassment by the employees and filed a lawsuit in 2016 against Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes.
On Saturday, Carlson complained through a statement "It's horrifying to think that any company would dismiss an employee following multiple allegations of sexual harassment and then allow him back on the air a few months later."
