Fox News Hires SEAL Team Six's Rob O’Neill
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 3/12/2015 | Michael O'Connell

Rob O’Neill, former member of the Navy's famed SEAL Team Six and purported Osama Bin Laden killer, has inked a deal with the network to offer military expertise and analysis across the network's roster of programs. This comes after FNC hit ratings highs with its O’Neill sit-down, The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden.

“Rob O’Neill is an American hero who dedicated his life to serving our country and protecting our freedoms," said chairman and CEO Roger Ailes. "It’s incredibly rare to have someone in a television contributor role with his leadership experience and expertise at the fighting unit level. His military insight will be a major asset to the network and we are honored to have him.”

First task:

For about a month.

He’s extremely telegenic and articulate, perhaps even charismatic. And self effacing...

The Navy filters on personnel do work...they appear to get above average when they try to.

Right outta central casting for the All American guy.

Helps that he’s from Montana...rugged and all that

Pretty sure Shep would like that. He probably pays big money for that.

It would be fun to have him interview President Obama.

Glad to hear this.

Question, why did they get rid of Michelle Malcom? Does anyone know?

Thinking about this further I have some safety concerns for him! Hope he can stay safe!

I’ve been wondering that for awhile. I miss hearing from Michelle. She was on top of her game all the time. Smart and cut to the chase.

Yeah, I wonder what the Saudi shareholders at FOX have to say.

I was hoping Fox would hire him. First time I heard him talk on Fox I smelled star quality. I love listening to him and am thrilled this happened. However, now Rob will be a target for prosecution by the Obama Justice Dept. Eric Holder is still there and he would love to go after a Fox employed hero to try to ruin him.

The Justice Dept threatened to go after Rob for allegedly spilling military tactical secrets during his appearance in the Fox killing Bin Laden special. I was afraid Fox might not hire him because of this legal threat by the Obama regime. On the other hand, maybe this will help protect Rob as Fox would be able to publicize every night any move this Admin might make against Rob, an American hero in the public’s eye. So a big BRAVO to Roger Ailes for hiring him. I had almost given up hope that they would to so.

And Shep's producer and director. And don't stop.
