She didn't have enough sense either to hang up, or to go to Fox's human resource department and make a complaint. As her attorney explained tonight on Dateline, how could she go to human resources to complain about the most powerful host on foxnews? Who would believe her? Apparently she returned to foxnews at Mr. O's encouragement and a promise that he would act professionally. He didn't but instead came on stronger. It was only when he began to threaten ("if any woman comes forward, I'll destroy her") that she felt the need to protect herself and hired her attorney.
Don't know what to believe but until O'Bloviator comes forward and denies it (he hasn't yet) I'll reserve judgment.

And in this instance, protecting the company might have meant asking O'Reilly awkward questions.
Now perhaps HR at Fox is a weakness, that might be true - but just saying "he's so powerful" is pretty lame.
