The injustice of this kind of celebrity sexual harassment accusation can be summed up with three facts:

1. Poor people rarely get accused - it’s all about the deep pockets.

2. With celebrities there is usually no actual crime committed. The consequences for celebrities are usually loss of job, endorsements, etc. and out of court financial settlement. If there is real stalking the stalker gets thrown in jail or at least a restraining order and you don’t see that in these celebrity cases.

3. The ‘trial’ for celebrities does not take place in a courtroom but rather in ‘the court of public opinion’ - what this means is that the media gets to tip the scales of injustice - which usually means republican politicians are found guilty and democrats skate.

I’m no fan of Bill O’Reilly and I think people wildly exaggerate his importance to Fox, and especially to the conservative movement. He’s not even close to being a conservative.

Having said that, I’m sorry this sexual harassment bs has to hang over everyone’s head - a lot of good people have been ruined by silly accusations - I know a handful of male high school teachers who have to teach girls - they have all gotten falsely accused of ‘staring’ or ‘leering’ at least once. Usually the complaint is quickly withdrawn - usually when the parents get the girl to admit she made it up. But other times it goes farther and it’s really sad that immature girls can hold that kind of power over an innocent man with no evidence at all.

Meanwhile someone like Clinton can get away with rape when there is plenty of evidence, just because the media likes him.

I think you need to come to terms with the fact that BOR is not a good guy. In the end the Murdoch’s who have put up with his antics for years finally used it to get rid of him when they wanted him gone.
