21st Century Fox Inc. sought to clarify comments by Rupert Murdoch after the co-chairman’s earlier remarks about sexual harassment allegations at Fox News drew ire online.
“It’s all nonsense,” Murdoch said Thursday in response to a question from Sky News about whether the harassment allegations had hurt business. “There was a problem with our chief executive sort of over the years, but isolated incidents. As soon as we investigated he was out of the place in hours -- well, three or four days -- and there’s been nothing else since then.”
