Mark Levin vs. Bill O'Reilly "And I'm not talking to some of you backbenchers, and you know who I mean," said Levin. "These blowhards. You get arrogant, stupid people who get paid a lot of money to be on radio and TV to be arrogant and stupid. And one of them, one of them is on the Fox News Channel, my favorite cable channel. And he has a fledgling radio show that has no ratings, and he'll be off radio soon because he's a failure. It's the non-factor: Bill O'Reilly. "And he is no conservative," said Levin.

Another woman is telling Fox News her story of harassment at the hands of O'Reilly, according to attorney Lisa Bloom. Bill O'Reilly used to leer at an African-American Fox News clerical worker and called her "hot chocolate," according to attorney Lisa Bloom, who helped the woman report the harassment to the network's hotline. The woman worked for a different broadcaster in 2008 while this was going on, but The O'Reilly Factor host's office was near her desk. "He would never talk to her, not even hello, except to grunt at her like a wild boar," Bloom tells The Hollywood Reporter....

Embattled Fox News host Bill O'Reilly announced on Tuesday that he will be going off the air for almost two weeks, to take a vacation. The anchor's announcement comes amid an ongoing controversy over sexual harassment allegations made against him and a new report that James Murdoch wants him out of the company for good.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters on Wednesday night said that Fox News host Bill O'Reilly and President Donald Trump should be locked up for alleged sexual harassment. In an appearance on MSNBC's "All in with Chris Hayes," Waters — who has not been quiet about her disdain for President Donald Trump — said O'Reilly should be arrested for alleged sexual harassment against coworkers and explained her distrust of the Trump administration's foreign policy. "They need to go to jail," Waters, D-Calif., said in reference to the president and the people who perpetuated an alleged "sexual harassment enterprise" at Fox News. "Bill O'Reilly...

NEW YORK (AP) — The latest on sexual harassment allegations at Fox News (all times local): An attorney for a former Fox News contributor is calling for an independent investigation of sexual harassment allegations against host Bill O’Reilly. Lisa Bloom represents Wendy Walsh, a former Fox News contributor who says she lost a segment on “The O’Reilly Factor” after she refused to go to O’Reilly’s bedroom following a 2013 dinner in Los Angeles.

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.”

O'Reilly did not say who he thought Putin had killed. "We consider such words from the Fox TV company to be unacceptable and insulting, and honestly speaking, we would...

Underhanded Shot at Megyn Kelly?

Geraldo Rivera was in a heated argument with Bill O’Reilly and made the mistake of telling O’Reilly that he didn’t think illegal aliens are criminals. Needless to say, O’Reilly basically cleaned his clock regarding this issue. O’Reilly said “I want the law enforced and you don’t!” A criminal is defined quite simply in the dictionary, as “someone who has committed a crime.” Although it is not politically correct to call an illegal alien a criminal, they are breaking the law when they illegally step over our border. So, if not a criminal, what do you call them? At the heart...
