After all, this is someone who has been described repeatedly as a close friend and ally of Lee Atwater, another bastion of Conservative rectitude.

But even if what she says is true, I find it difficult to work up any sympathy for her. She willingly submitted herself to the alleged degradation of Ailes for the sake of her lucrative career. She was not forced into it by violence, or brutality, or extortion or fear. She was in it for the money. IOW, she was a whore.

I use that term without prejudice, I have nothing against the true working girl, it is honest work, which is much more than can be said for what Mr Aisles, Mr Atwater (or Ms Luhn) did for a living. By her own admission, Ms Luhn willingly submitted to degradation and humiliation, not to protect her life or her family, from fear of harm, or even to earn a living. She did it for the promise of great wealth, which she received and enjoyed for years, and then chose to betray her commitments to her employer when it no longer suited her. Cosby had to drug his victims. Ailes paid for them up front. People like him will always be able to find people like her.
