So Fox agreed with Makris that O'Reilly would stop his lewdness with her before she went back to work for Fox? That smacks down one argument that's been going around in favor of crypto-lefty Bill.

And Makris and O'Reilly will live happily ever after once they've capitalized on the greatest publicity stunt of all time. This thing is so nutty I'm inclined to entertain any theories.

It doesn't say anything about Fox News management agreeing with her at all - it looks like she got the assurances from O'Reilly.

I would urge a lot of caution on these matters. People throw out comments, those comments get embellished and it's very difficult to know who is at fault.

I'm not a die-hard fan of O'Reilly, but he deserves his day in court just like anyone else.

This is not a claim that he couldn't be guilty of this, but rather a suggestion that we let this play out until it's a lot more clear who's playing games here.

If O'Reilly did something inappropriate, he should pay the piper.

I saw Mackris w/attorney on Court TV news today.

Mackris is not good looking. Certainly not what one would consider "a babe."

Al Franken said they "got" Rush and that Sean Hannity would be next. They probably couldn't find anything on Sean, so they went after Bill. The left is out to get all people they perceive as voices of the right. Fox is perceived as a voice of the right and is constantly mocked by the left as a propaganda mill. This is a dirty trick of the left, just as absconding with Rush's medical records was.

CNN headline is typically incorrect (on purpose). I am no big fan of O'Reilly but in a time line it would read...
O'Reilly sues for extortion; Producer sues O'Reilly for sexual harassment

Bill O'Really? will continue to sink in the polls if he continues to lose his conservative base. He needs to get back to the days of 2001-01-02. Otherwise, O'Really? will be replaced by Hannity & Colmes in the ratings war.

"Mackris' attorney said.."

LOL!!! Have you seen this guy? He looks and acts like he could have represented the Gambino family.

Where are the tapes? If there are tapes, why aren't they all over the airwaves?

I'll tell you why. Because Mackris is the aggressor here. She returned from CNN to FOXNEWS after learning how sexual harrassment suits are brought (her previous boss was fired for sexual harrassment).

One month after her return, she tries to extort $60 big ones out of FOXNEWS.

I'm sorry, but I can't believe ANYBODY is falling for this pile of manure.

"She returned to work for O'Reilly at Fox in July of 2004, according to her lawsuit, after winning assurances that O'Reilly would no longer engage in inappropriate conduct."

If true. . .seems all it would have taken would be 'one word' and she could have put an end to this; as she had the 'protection' of Fox. . .

If true. . .wondering if the 'rest of the story' was not her 'setting up' O'R; I mean how long do you wait, to decide to call it 'harassment'.

Hard to believe that O'Reilly would fall into this trap; but I have thought at times; that he has more than a bit of twinkle in his eyes when he does some interviews; he also has more than a bit of arrogance; and together; they could make an 'achilles heel'.

I heard on the radio that O'Reilly and the producer engagd in phone sex.

I ask.. What do you do if a vacuum cleaner salesman calls you, right, hang up.

So why didn't she hang up? Problem solved.

CNN will spin this to inflict maximum damage to BOR and Fox. Why believe CNN now? Is it because you don't like BOR?

BOR is an arrogant blow-hard, and was STUPID beyond belief to participate in this stuff, but...

I was forced to have phone sex MULTIPLE times with BOR over many years, and I never took advantage of programs in place by FOX for sexual harassment problems. So I quit for 4-5 months, went to work for CNN and then decided to go back for more sexual harassment at FOX because my new boss at CNN is now up on sexual harassment charges?????

CNN...where Kerry/Clinton employees, operatives, and sycophants work. This was put together to take down BOR and Fox. Period.

Lets hear all the recordings. It's kinda hard to have phone sex without TWO people participating.

O'Reilly had Ann Coulter on earlier. He mentioned her "short skirt", in looking at the cover of her book where she is standing next to a black board he said something like "we never had teachers that looked like that" and he referred to her as a "goddess".

O'Reilly has some "issues". It appears he didn't "get much" when he was younger and now he has the power to play out his penile fantasies?

With that said, Coulter and this other woman are not wall flowers. Either one of them could likely handle O'Reilly with one hand tied behind their backs.

O'Reilly is a liberal punk. I don't like the fact that he dissed John O'Neill several weeks ago without even reading O'Neills book first. So, I find it VERY amusing that O'Reilly now has a lot of people drawing conclusions about his lame ass "without checking the facts". HA HA HA!!

As far as those saying Soros is behind this? I doubt it. O'Reilly is no threat to the left. Because he is part of the left.

It seems obvious Makris had led O'Reilly on and now wants to cash in a la Kobe Bryant. Plain and simple.

I don't like O'Reilly, never have, but there are two sides to every story. However, if it turns out he is a Clinton clone, the hell with him.

I'm sure Rita Cosby's sources will have the real story soon. With the Peterson case coming to a close, Greta will also need a new basis for her existence so maybe she will take up the case.

I don't know if either one of these are married, but I'm betting that they were dating/flirting around with each other and this kind of talk was the norm.

For some reason, the relationship/flirting went south and she taped him in order to extort him.

Bet dollars to a donut that she has tapes, but they are edited heavily.

Unless O'Reilly is embarrassed for his LEGAL personal antics to become public, this will go nowhere.
