It’s over, although I don’t expect that corporate culture has changed at Fox News:

21st Century Fox has reached a $20 million settlement deal with Gretchen Carlson, the anchorwoman who sued Roger Ailes alleging harassment and retaliation in July.

The eight-figure deal is likely to have consequences across corporate America. Fox also apologized to Carlson in a highly unusual public statement on Tuesday morning.

“We sincerely regret and apologize for the fact that Gretchen was not treated with the respect that she and all our colleagues deserve,” 21st Century Fox said.

Ailes will pay an unknown portion of the settlement.

Ailes, the powerful Fox News CEO and chairman, resigned in the wake of the harassment allegations, which he has continuously denied.

Now out of his Fox job, Ailes is informally advising GOP nominee Donald Trump ahead of the presidential debates this fall.

Daly, this probably means we will never hear Gretchen’s “secret tapes” of Ailes and others at Fox.

Also, effective immediately, longtime Fox News host Greta Van Susteren is leaving the channel after 14 years, Fox News announced today. No reasons were given in the Fox News announcement for Van Susteren’s departure, and she did not immediately respond to a direct message seeking comment.  Some wonder if this has anything to do with the Carlson settlement/sexual harassment allegations.  Others say it was a financial disagreement.

UPDATE:  This just happened on Facebook
