Exactly
I wish judge Jeannine would tone it down a bit too. Really no need for the cocktail dresses.
He is the rare exception to successfully defeat their tactic.
Its best advised for men these days to avoid mentoring women in their career field. Sad but true.
“Thank you for being blond” Surprised she didn’t start heaving with morning sickness, and craving pickles and ice cream
We’re living in a time when all it takes is an accusation and enough money to line up a string of complainants to make them. Evidence is optional. It only takes the use of words, not actions by the target. You can’t blame people for being skeptical, especially if there’s lots of money around. The media is totally soviet.
I sure don’t see Sandra Smith, Harris Faulkner, Kennedy, or Judge Jeanine complaining...

Well, Kirsten Powers, Julie Ragonsky, and Andrea Tanteros all were on Outnumbered and did go on the Factor. I doubt they were fans of Bill O. Bill has along history of this crap. People need to stop making excuses for him, he did it to himself.
Whats so bad about that? I don’t get it.
Probably cheaper to keep Beckel.
Liberals lie. Powers is a liberal.
all other women on Fox: none
The dear Judge is 65 years old trying to keep up in a profession that values youth. I'll cut her some slack.
Despite is sordid history, he was given yet another chance. Why can't the guy with the highest rated show on the network be given one, too?
And, Powers defended O’Reilly in 2014. Was she lying then or is she lying now?
Everyone I’ve ever worked with in the 80s and even 90s would be in jail for “harassment” now that making eye contact and lighthearted and even bawdy banter between adults is reason to end careers..
Roginsky in her account said that Ailes tried to kiss her on the cheek, oh heavens!
Look at O’Reilly’s accusers and the “abuse” they endured.
One claims he yelled at her in the newsroom. Wow. I know a bit about newsroom environments, having worked as a print and broadcast journalist until I had the good sense to do something productive and joined the USAF. If I had $5 for every time someone was yelled at or chewed out in a newsroom, I’d have a nice supplement to my military pension.
Another claims that O’Reilly kissed her (without permission) and invited her up to his hotel suite, an offer she declined. This is the former Fox talent who had been cut loose by both FNC and WNYW, the network’s owned-and-operated station in NYC. Broadcast news isn’t very kind to former “babe” anchorettes in their 40s, so she decided to scream harassment and collect a fat check.
Another claiming harassment also says that O’Reilly promised to help her climb the ladder at Fox. When that didn’t happen—and she spurned his advances—her “treatment” morphed into harassment and (presto) another big payday.
In fact, the only one of O’Reilly’s accusers who seemed to have a case is the former producer who was encouraged to call him at home and talk dirty over the phone while Ted reportedly...well, I’ll leave that to your imagination.
Is O’Reilly capable of boorish behavior? Folks I know who are still in the biz say yes, but he’s a piker compared to some of the actual predators.
Consider this example: a well-known TV personality was forced to admit multiple affairs with young female members of his staff, some roughly a third of his age. Many were interns, putting him in a position of great authority over their tenure at the show and their future careers. Same personality was married with a young child, but his philandering was an open secret in network TV circles. When he was finally caught, the media treated him like a victim because the staffer’s boyfriend (a network news producer) tried to blackmail him.
And when he retired, this individual was hailed as one of the greats in TV history, with no mention of his personal failings. His name? David Letterman. Yet he was never sued for harassment, nor sanctioned by his employer, CBS.
If O’Reilly did a fraction of what Letterman did, he would have been gone years ago. But if you’re a liberal, you can bed all the young female staffers you want. Worked for Letterman. And Bill Clinton.
And doing a damn good job of it. Not sure how much “work” she’s had done, but Jeannine is aging very well.
