Scandal struck Fox News.
No one could believe the bombshell footage from an undercover sting.
And a hidden video about strip clubs sent Fox News into panic mode.
Investigative journalist James O’Keefe’s latest expose involved Fox Media Vice President Jason Hermes boasting about how he would use his corporate card to splurge on thousands of dollars at strip clubs for personal use by falsely claiming he was entertaining clients.
O’Keefe posted the explosive video footage of Hermes with one of his undercover female reporters when they were supposedly out on a date.
“I’m the boss of Fox Weather,” he bragged. “Like, I run that network.”
Hermes told the woman that his job allowed him all the perks of a high-ranking position at Fox News without losing the ability to go out in public and get mobbed by fans like the network’s star anchors.
“It’s the best job, because I’m a celebrity around all of it, but no one knows me. It’s like winning the lottery,” Hermes added.
Then, in an apparent bid to impress his date, Hermes began bragging about how he could splurge on the corporate card and claimed that he and other Fox News executives would run up massive tabs at strip clubs and expense it all to Fox News.
“I’ll be honest, we [Fox executives] used to be able to go to strip clubs,” Hermes stated.
“Like, on Fox News?” the undercover female reporter wondered.
Hermes then claimed he would drop as much as $4,000 at strip clubs, charged to the Fox News card.
“With this [card], you could take this, walk into a strip club, literally, and spend $4,000,” Hermes added.
Hermes explained that as long as you told accounting you were with a client who wanted to go to a strip club, the expense would get approved, no questions asked.
“You could put anything on [the corporate card],” Hermes continued. “You could say, ‘Well, the client wanted to go to a strip club. [The Fox accountant is] like, ‘Dude, it’s Tuesday at f***ing 3:00 in the afternoon.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, the client wanted it.’”
The woman then asked Hermes if he could take her to a strip club on the company dime.
“Oh yeah, no one’s going to say a word,” Hermes responded.
The woman then asked if any of the network’s big-name hosts ever accompanied
Hermes said this abuse of company credit cards only involved executives.
“No, we would just do it ourselves and lie on the expense reports. No one asks a question… When I’m bringing in 90 million, no one’s gonna f***ing say a word to me… It’s still like that because it’s media, it’s nobody’s money,” Hermes stated,

Fox News fired Hermes almost immediately upon O’Keefe publishing the scoop.
“Jason Hermes has been terminated,” an email from Fox News Media Executive Vice President of Corporate Communications to O’Keefe read
“The comments he made during a personal outing grossly misrepresented his position at FOX Weather and within the larger company,” Briganti added. “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.”
