O’Reilly Says ‘Completely Unfounded Claims’ Led to His Ousting
Washington Free Beacon ^

Posted on 04/20/2017 7:34:16 AM PDT by bryan999

Bill O'Reilly released a statement on Wednesday clarifying his departure from Fox News, saying that "completely unfounded claims" were the cause.

The departure came in the wake of multiple sexual harassment allegations against the cable news star, but his statement remained positive toward his former employer, Mediaite reported.

"Over the past 20 years at Fox News, I have been extremely proud to launch and lead one of the most successful news programs in history, which has consistently informed and entertained millions of Americans and significantly contributed to building Fox into the dominant news network in television," O'Reilly stated.

"It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today," he continued, alluding to the sexual harassment allegations.

"I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers. I wish only the best for Fox News Channel," he concluded.

O'Reilly had worked for Fox News for over 20 years before he was released on Wednesday.

The scum left is destroying all who tell the truth and all leftist liberals should be deported to their forefathers nations asap so America can be great again.

Democrats and rinos are not Americans, they are global leftist socialist citizens of the anti Christ one world order developing daily. and the day will come when God will fight and destroy their evil works and their souls will be cast into the lake of fire for their mockery of both God and man, unjust and hateful peoples.

“IMO, generally women don’t belong in the workplace competing with men, but if they do, then they should take the consequences.”

Can you explain what you mean by this? What exactly is ‘competing with men in the workplace?’

That’s not the way sexual harassment is defined these days. Certainly, calling someone “hot chocolate” crosses the line. And if he was ever told by the recipient that his remarks made them “uncomfortable” and that he should stop, and he persisted, then he was in violation of the law as currently interpreted. That’s the way it is in the modern workplace.

Well, it usually starts at a young age with a fear of men followed by a hatred of men which necessitates sublimating her own soft and vulnerable feminine nature and her natural desire to love and care for her husband, children, and home. This fear and hatred can come any number of ways usually from where she grew up - lack of healthy modelling at home, lack of healthy nurturing of her feminine nature at home, physical/sexual trauma at a young age.

Remember, women by nature have their psychological/sexual roots lightly grounded and are easily uprooted compared to a man. Man’s virile, strong nature tends towards strong and deep psychological/sexual roots. Women are by nature more delicate and are generally more lightly rooted.

I think it’s much harder for a woman to grow up immunized from today’s misguided, lost age that militates against true femininity and true masculinity. Anyway, that is the source IMO. From there you get penis envy and women thinking they have to prove themselves by competing with men in the workplace to prove it is not a “man’s world”. And it’s downhill from there baby.

I wonder what pressure groups were behind those advertiser loses. This exodus was no spontaneous reaction.

I just don’t think that women who are trying to pursue a career are trying to compete with men. They are trying to do something they like or love. It has nothing to do with competing.

That would be the exception and there are exceptions.

But the rule is God made women generally to be lovers of the family and keepers of the home, and men to be providers for their families.

But we are living in an age where God’s rules, for our good and happiness, are ignored and despised. Thus we have an unhappy society that gets sadder and more lost as time goes by.

Society has changed. So much has to do with people wanting ‘things’. Those things cost money. What was once the traditional family now requires both parents working. I think many women would like to stay hone and raise their young children. It’s just not affordable for many.

“”Remember all those women howling about Herman Caine? The instant he stepped down they all evaporated.””

As did the bimbo restaurant owner in Huntington Beach, CA who made the accusations against Donald Trump and whose own brother said she sought him out for a job...

Of course the affordability thing could be a legitimate reason. But too often it is not.

Society has changed but that doesn’t change God’s plans and intent for man and nor does it change what makes men and women happy. Society has simply thrown off God and his plans which are always for our good. Society has done what Adam and Eve did in the Garden: “Thanks God but we’ll take it from here” (ie. we don’t need God anymore).

We are living in as age where women want “equality” with men. Again, back to the Garden. Eve was tempted by Satan to achieve on her own what God had already given her. Today it is the same. God gave women equal intrinsic value as men. Jesus died equally for women as he did for men. But that isn’t good enough for many women today.

Today, women want to extinguish the difference of God-given roles between men and women. They want equal roles, not just equal intrinsic value. And they are more lost and unhappy than they ever were. “You’ve come a long way, Baby”, and every mile shows.

“”He lost custody of his children because of his rantings and ravings...””

:::A New York appeals court upheld a ruling that denied Mr. O’Reilly sole residential custody and status as sole decision-maker for the 17-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son he had with his ex-wife, Maureen McPhilmy, the New York Daily News reported. The Fox News host will still have visitation rights with his kids on alternating weekends and some holidays.:::

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/mar/2/bill-oreilly-loses-custody-of-his-children/

I’m always amazed at the attitudes of people who don’t like a particular TV personality or any celebrity and I don’t bother reading anything more by an author I don’t like.

::I did read a couple of his ‘Killing’ books, did not like them, and I really never, when I had cable, watch him, he just had something about him that I didn’t like::

Same with Trump. Where are all those women who suddenly appeared when Trump brought up Bill Clintons sexual assaults? The fact is the Clinton crime family hired these women to make those accusations and I hope Trump eventually gets around to suing the living crap out of them, and he WILL.

Isn’t it amazing how all these guys who aren’t Democrat or go against Democrats are destroyed by flimsy accusations, but Bill Clinton is still untouchable?

Bill Clinton was not untouchable. Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives and tried in the Senate.
He paid Paula Jones $850,000 to drop her sexual harrassment lawsuit.
Clinton was also suspended from the practice of law in Arkansas for five years.
He was fined $25,000 for lying in the Monica Lewinski affair, fined $90,000 for lying in the Paula Jones affair and barred from practicing law before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Clinton also has a Contempt of Court citation on his record.

None of the women who accused O’Reilly of sexual harrassment was a liberal or a Democrat. The first woman to sue him back in 2002 was a producer of The O’Reilly Factor.
Also Bill did not marry a liberal feminist nor is his daughter a liberal feminist.
“In May 2015, court transcripts from O’Reilly’s custody trial with ex-wife Maureen McPhilmy revealed signs of domestic violence within the household—O’Reilly’s daughter testified to a forensic examiner that she witnessed O’Reilly choking McPhilmy and dragging her down the stairs of their home by her neck, apparently unaware that the daughter was watching. In light of the allegation, O’Reilly issued a statement through his attorney describing the account as “100% false” and declined to comment further in order “to respect the court-mandated confidentiality put in place to protect [his] children”. In February 2016, O’Reilly lost a bid for custody of both of his children.”

I don’t recall anywhere in the bible that discourages women from working. Men and women should both make family their priority. That includes pastors and missionaries, family should always come first.

There are countless scriptures regarding women working. Again, I don’t believe women are competing. In terms of salary, I see no reason that the pay should be based on performance, not based on gender, race, etc.

For instance, lets refer to Proverbs 31:16-18
“16 She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard”
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.

Here we have a woman who is handling the money, purchasing property, and planting a vinyard, she also makes trades for her business.

Sounds like a business woman. As we know She’s also taking care of her family. Is she competing in a man’s world?
