Bill O’Reilly Thrives at Fox News, Even as Harassment Settlements Add Up
NYT ^ | APRIL 1, 2017 | EMILY STEEL and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT

Posted on 04/01/2017 11:07:28 AM PDT by Boomer

An investigation by The New York Times has found a total of five women who have received payouts from either Mr. O’Reilly or the company in exchange for agreeing to not pursue litigation or speak about their accusations against him. The agreements totaled about $13 million.

Two settlements came after the network’s former chairman, Roger Ailes, was dismissed last summer in the wake of a sexual harassment scandal, when the company said it did not tolerate behavior that “disrespects women or contributes to an uncomfortable work environment.”

And people wonder why VP Pence won’t go out with a woman alone unless it’s Mrs. Pence. Guaranteed that if he was spotted having dinner with, oh, say, Kellyanne Conway, the New York Slimes or the Washington Compost would have screaming headlines talking about BOTH Pence and Conway “stepping out” on their respective spouses.

Not saying that O’Reilly is blameless here, but the MSM has really sunk to new lows in the recent past. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even bother with the front page of my local birdcage liner anymore.

His show has taken a noticeable rightward turn after the election. He was probably being surveilled by Obama and that’s where the slimes got this info.

Bill is being Pu$$y whipped.

President Trump proved it.

I’m a conservative in every way and I think OReilly is a pompous, condescending ass.

He pisses off the Right, too.


Including me. Sometimes he is either ignorant of things or is afraid to speak out. And among other things, he misses so many opportunities to smash a lefty guest......

So bill Clinton's philandering was celebrated while O'Reilly's is abhorred.

When are we going to stop giving credibility to these frauds?

I totally agree. He’s all about ratings and goes the way the wind is blowing. But I think that foxnews was probably the target of massive surveillance by obama. We know about James Rosen. We are going to be shocked when we find out the magnitude of spying on Americans by Obama for political purposes.

Obama probably spied on ALL the networks, Fox is nothing special.

What did BOR actually do? “Unwanted advances” covers a lot of ground.

Wow, he’s a busy fella! Spread the wealth around, Bill, then keep your lip zipped, not to mention the other.

“Every weeknight at 8 p.m., he presents a pugnacious, anti-political-correctness viewpoint and a fervent strain of patriotism that appeals to conservative viewers.”

Libs still think BOR is a conservative. Sigh.

O’Reilly is a worthless blowhard. Why anyone would listen to him is beyond normal reasoning.

Tucker and Hannity would have to be on there 24 hours a day.

I have no doubt that O'Reilly has hit on some gals at work. Big ego, attractive women. It happens. It has happened before. I'm not saying it's right or I approve of it but it does happen. Human nature, good or bad.

As long as men and women work together, this stuff will go on.

If he becomes too big of a liability, Fox should dump him. It's a business. But right now, he's their big dog.
