Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly's cold war heated up on Tuesday, the day both TV hosts were out promoting their new books.
O'Reilly suggested that Kelly is making their employer, Fox News, "look bad" by talking about alleged harassment by ex-Fox News boss Roger Ailes.
"I'm not interested in making my network look bad. At all. That doesn't interest me one bit," O'Reilly said on CBS.
Anchor Norah O'Donnell asked: "Is that what she's doing?"
O'Reilly: "I don't know. But I'm not going to even bother with it."
He also cast some shade on whether Kelly's book will sell a large number of copies.
Behind-the-scenes tension between the two hosts has occasionally shown up on TV. But Tuesday's comments were especially eyebrow-raising.
O'Reilly was on "CBS This Morning" to promote a new children's book, "Give Please a Chance."
Kelly was on a competing morning show, ABC's "Good Morning America," to promote her new memoir "Settle for More."
In the memoir, Kelly described Ailes' unwanted sexual advances. She felt she had little choice but to write about it because, in July, Ailes was sued by ex-anchor Gretchen Carlson. The lawsuit triggered an internal investigation. Kelly and numerous other women at Fox spoke with the investigators.
Kelly and her legal counsel did not go into detail about the alleged harassment at the time, but Kelly added information about it to her book, knowing she would be asked about the allegations during the press tour for the book.
When the CBS anchors brought up Kelly's book to O'Reilly, he said, "I'm not that interested in this."
Gayle King asked: "No?"
O'Reilly: "No-- I mean, it's over for--"
O'Donnell: "In sexual harassment? You're not interested in sexual harassment?"
O'Reilly: "I'm not interested in basically litigating something that is finished

The only time that I truly enjoyed watching Kelly’s show was the night that Gingrich delivered her a knock out punch !
In case you missed it ...

Um, Megyn is not part of the “we.” She’s the enemy and who worked about as hard as anyone in media to take down Trump. Her book tour was supposed to be the final nails in the coffin of Trumps brand and family. Now he is president elect and she’s scrambling. She’s a bad bad person.
Fox News does not need any help in making itself look bad.
She’s just drawing more attention to the disaster that is Fox News.
Megyn is a pox on fox
Whenever Kelly comes up in any context, this ought to be played - shows her for exactly what she is and “it ain’t pretty”. I hope her book is a huge flop - no one I know is going to buy it. I can’t imagine Trump folks, conservatives or the Left would be interested ... who does that leave? If she sells one book, we know it’s sidekick Chris Stirewalt who bought it. :-)
One more thing .... if I were Trump, Kelly wouldn’t get a single interview from anyone in my administration.
Who ?
Bill: "I falafel about that."
Ted Baxter, sharpest knife in the drawer, on the job!
I’ve actually found myself not disliking Bill O’Reilly a couple of times lately.

I caught part of her show last night, she was hawking her new book. All she could do is say it's about her, how good she is, what she has to put up with, blah blah blah. As much as I detest O'Reilly for being a bloviator, at least O'Reilly makes his books about the history of other people; Me-Again Kelly makes her book all about herself and how "wonderful" she thinks she is. Yechh!
She's the worst kind of bimbo, acting like a witch while blowing kisses to herself in a mirror.
LOL, Good One... they could be twins.
Love to see Michelle Malkin replace her.
Yeah, me too. It’s a strange, new world.
At this moment on Amazon, Bill O's children's book is outselling Megyn K's book. But are selling well. Megyn's however has loads of negative reviews.
look bad? LOOK bad? LOOK BAD? Bill you are delusional, SHE IS SINGLEHANDEDLY DESTROYING FOX News!
Hannity is Fox News star now and has been for some time. I miss Greta.
Same Dobbs, and Varney, then OOAN, and if I am up then Hannity
