This sentence made up the first words spoken in what was to become maybe the oddest friendship of either of our lives. It…

WayneDupree.com April 25, 2019 I do not know much about this former Fox News executive, Laurie Luhn, but she’s dropped a major lawsuit on the company and current CEO, Suzanne Scott. Luhn claims the late Roger Ailes sexually abused her during her tenure with the company and Scott knew about the sexual misconduct. Luhn is suing the network for $120 million. I don’t watch the network that much anymore even though President Trump promotes it. There’s a lot of dirty laundry at that network that is self-proclaimed the #1 News Network on Cable, that keeps seeping out of the…
