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.”

>i>i>If O’Reilly pisses off the left, he is doing something right.

Agree with that,. And BOR's "progressive" critics are so far left that they look upon him as a rock-ribbed, "old school"conservative.

The left is on the warpath.

Yep; and completely unhinged. It appears all sense of decency and honor has been removed from them. They will stop at nothing to torpedo anyone and anything the right does.

Democrats have given up every last bit of their morality for the democrat party.

They are no different in that respect than the German Nazis or the Russian Leninist revolutionaries.

For democrats the party comes fist - before GOD, country, ethics, morality, humanity or self respect.

This reminds me of the women who accused Trump. Gee, that was for real wasn’t it. Right after the election they completely disappear, Gloria Alred disappears, no talk of settlement money, no court case nothing. Why? BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL LYING!!! That’s how the Clinton criminal cabal works though.

I’ve seen Ms. Tantaros at least twice recently on Fox. I think it was on a weekend and later in the evening. It appeared she either had put on weight or might be pregnant.

Glad to see her back.

The stuff against Thomas was so airy as to be non-existent. Ailes was a little bit more substantial - the Fox women wear silly outfits that I think are required for hire. They’re seated on weird chairs that show off their legs and thighs in such a way that make it hard for even a woman to keep her mind on the news. It’s stupid and I don’t wonder an employee could start to feel like a piece of meat. Of course, they knew that going in.

There is sex harassment on the job. It happens to young, attractive women more often than men allow and it should be monitored. I just wish we could get back to a time when it really required bad behavior - and not some stupid joke or well-meant compliment - to get an employer in trouble.

The ludicrous Thomas Jefferson/BJ story embarrassed the New York Times and the Democrat party for life. It’ll take an objective historian long after we’re pushing up daisies to explain that sad story. I still giggle at a local lawyer here - Sean Wilentz, I think - who embarrassedly intoned during the impeachment hearings that those who challenged BJ would be cruelly hunted down by historians of the future. Hilariously, he was lecturing Mary Bono, of all people, the way Daniel Webster lectured the Devil.

Good point. Progressives have nothing in common with him.

"This is a one-sided standard."

So, no tail for one side of the distribution?

Yep, old news.

O’Reilly has been one of the highest paid ‘news’ guys for 30 years and brought in hundreds of millions of dollars to his employers. Taking $13 million off his cumulative bottom line isn’t really a big deal.

Gawd! He is so disgusting! No wonder the wife ditched him years ago. I don’t know how his good Catholic kids can bear to be with him. His pal? That Dennis guy he travels around with? What’s up with that? Bromance, or something deeper? No falafels involved...but maybe a bucketful of Viagra!

Thanks for the link.

"The left doesn’t want to secede. It wants to rule."

It's actually even worse than that.

American leftists are like muslims

Muslims have Islam.
Islam is everything to them, It stands ahead of all else; family, country, moralty, ethics.

Liberals have The Democrat Party
It stands ahead of all else; family, country, moralty, ethics.

Muslims say there is no room on earth for anyone but muslims.
If you don't become muslim there is no reason for you to exist.

Leftists say there is no room for anything but leftists and leftist ideas.
If you aren't in step with them you should be discounted, relegated to second class status, sent to the back of the bus and eventually eliminated.

Ok...he tried to feel up Andrea...she resisted. Then he pursued her with unwanted phone calls...stalker calls. “What are you wearing? I want to scrub you up with a falafel! No, I mean a loofah! “ The girl had the smarts o tape everything. She got a huge settlement...the wife divorced him...Google it...if you have the stomach for it!
