Fox Media Figure Fired After Making Bizarre ‘Expense Report’ Claims

A top official at Fox Weather and Fox News Media has been fired after telling an undercover journalist that he charged thousands of dollars in “strip club bills” to his corporate credit card, a claim the media company says it has yet to verify.

In a statement, the media company said it had terminated Fox News

Media VP Jason Hermes for telling an undercover journalist working with James O’Keefe he put “$4,000 strip club bills” on a company card.

Hermes “has been terminated. The comments he made during a personal outing grossly misrepresented his position at FOX Weather and within the larger company,” the statement began. “Expense reports are subject to a sophisticated review and auditing process, and his wildly bizarre claims were immediately investigated, which we are in the process of finishing.” The statement concluded: “We have found no evidence whatsoever that they are true,” regarding his claims.
