Current Events > Fox News Host worried #MeToo movement killing office Christmas Parties

https://www.mediaite.com/online/laura-ingraham-is-the-metoo-movement-killing-all-the-fun-of-christmas/

It appears Fox News Laura Ingraham has found the real victim in the #MeToo movement office Christmas parties.

Is the #MeToo movement becoming a spoiler for this seasons Christmas parties? Ingraham asked during a segment on last nights The Ingraham Angle.

Speaking to conservative comedian Jimmy Failla, Ingraham wondered aloud if the recent spate of powerful men being outed for sexual misconduct and harassment would make for a less festive mood this holiday season.

No alcohol and no fun and no lampshades and, I dont know, maybe thats better, she noted. Is this just killing all the fun of Christmas?

Failla pointed out that Vox had recently imposed a two-drink limit at its holiday party, leading Ingraham to joke that she needs two drinks just to read Vox.

Failla would go on to say he was pro-holiday Christmas party because he thinks it serves to build camaraderie over someone getting trashed and that it is sometimes good to see a co-worker act a fool.

...quite the odd position to take given who has been fire from FOX recently for sexual harassment

it's odd for someone who is apparently christian to argue about the fun part of christmas

Yeah I wonder what the viewers think of her destroying Christmas

Is it really that hard to get drunk with your coworkers and not sexually harass them?
---

~80% of workers would probably prefer if the money that goes to christmas parties just ended up in their paychecks instead. Let them drink with their actual friends.
---

Now that Bill O'Reilly is not there, it should be a lot easier to have fun.
---

yea we should turn a blind eye to women getting raped at an alarming rate because Christmas parties

It is at Fox News xmas parties.

I can't grope my employees at the office christmas party anymore. Damn libruls are killing all my holiday spirit.

Of course, at no point are they defending sexual misconduct. But when you get news from left-wing clickbait sites, why expect things like correct context and accuracy stop you from being outraged.

Have you taken a bump on the head? You're rambling about who knows what.

I wouldn't go to a party with a two drink limit unless I brought more with me to stealth-drink... but I tend to do that anyway.

Nothing says 'festive Christmas party' like getting drunk on egg nog and groping Janice from accounting.
---

lol.

buddy of mine told me yesterday that at his christmas party friday night, a girl/woman was way too uncomfortably into him to the point where another female co-worker had to ask if he needed to be saved.

he's 34 with a pregnant girlfriend at home btw.

the girl putting moves on him came at him with comments like she thought he was 26~ and that he looked like a little boy.

can't really help but think behaviour and comments like this the other way around would end up with a lack of a job come monday morning.

I mean there's literally a link to the video in the article that directly quotes what they said if you have issues.

And the snowflakes want to take that away! A sacred Christmas tradition, every bit a part of Christmas as the tree.

Once we figured out just how much we consumed in alcohol (one year, we did 10k in JUST long islands), that's pretty much how we felt

The issue is that even if it were consensual the man (and only the man) would likely be fired after the moral panic meme called #MeToo.

How do you figure? Sexual harassment by definition isn't consensual.

Every job I've ever had has always prohibited getting intoxicated with your peers during work related events. We've always had to sneak liquor. Seems like the appropriate way to go about things tbh.

Even for Admiral this is really weak. Hell, he was just saying a few days ago that that particular source checker is unreliable, I guess he meant only when it agrees with him?

Republican's strategy is anything that doesn't agree with what they already believe is fake news. Facts don't matter to them.

You cut out part of their rating. Their "Factual Reporting" rating is HIGH. The area directly under where your picture stops says:

Factual Reporting: HIGH

Notes: Mediaite is a liberal news and opinion blog covering politics and entertainment in the media industry. It is the flagship blog of Abrams Media, a ring of blogs run by ABC legal analyst Dan Abrams. Mediaite presents news with a left wing bias in reporting choices. Although they publish mostly stories that favor the left, they do source their content well. (8/21/2016) Updated (5/12/2017)

So yes, the news they choose to report on has a liberal bias, but the articles are usually fact checked and accurate. This isn't exactly a "clickbait" site.

Good catch. We all know Addy loves to selective quote posts here and only respond to one part, and it appears he also selectively crops images. It's a cowardly, dishonest tactic

I'd be worried about christmas parties if I were a woman under the employment of people that hired Bill O'Reilly

Lol Admiral just disappeared after making an ass out of himself.

Well I'm staying away from insults. :) Don't want to intentionally anger anyone. I'm just stating what he left out...if anyone else wants to speculate on a motive that's up to them.

Mediaite absolutely is a clickbait site with a known liberal bias. Not a thing in my post was inaccurate. The video does not support what the story is trying to imply about condoning sexual misconduct. Just because they "sourced it correctly" does not mean the the article is accurate.

Never said any such thing. In fact, I'm the person who introduced this site to CE, so you'll need better comebacks based in reality.

The story doesn't imply that anyone condones sexual misconduct. It pretty much reads exactly as the video plays.

I already admitted that the site has a liberal bias in terms of which stories they report, but very little in this article is exaggeration.

They need to chill. My restaurant has a pretty liberal employee base and our Secret Santa is turning out to be full of "sexual harassment" in the form of gag gifts.

wtf kind of morons do you work with? The guy I got at work had "dad jokes" as an interest so I just got him a terrible joke daily calendar for his desk.

If someone offered me $2 in exchange for office christmas parties never happening again, i'd be open to haggling the price down.

I work in an environment where people roast each other consistently, so if certain people get each other all hell can break loose.

Everyone knows the true meaning of Christmas is getting tipsy and feeling up a co-worker.
