“How do you know?”
O’Reilly was the proverbial goose that laid the golden egg for Fox. He was by far their most valuable asset. It is inconceivable that Fox would sack him without hard evidence against him. Rupert Murdoch is a very hard-nosed businessman who does not cave in to nuisance lawsuits or people looking for a free lunch at the expense of his network. Nope. O’Reilly is gone because he was a cad who got caught on tape and all the previous hush money settlements got exposed.
25 million? Why fight it? He’s laughing all the way to the bank.
