This is so pathetic. The traitor is on his hands and knees pleading with Ketchup Boy to come on during nearly every segment tonight. It is apparent that he had him conned into believing he would make a future appearance, which is why Bill has been sucking up to him all year. Serves Mr. Falafel right!

I just heard O'Reilly's talking points, and he was sort of slamming Kerry for not appearing on his show. It was the only time I've ever heard him speak about Kerry in a negative tone.He also led with Bush's good poll numbers, and he's also doing a segment on the impact the Swiftvets have had on Kerry. It might be a hit piece, but until recently, O'Reilly wouldn't go near the Swiftvet issue unless he was forced to, but now, he's choosing to do a segment.I'm wondering if he's realizing that he's been driving away his Conservative base, and is...

Sometimes in life you have to stand and fight, even if it means extreme discomfort. That's what's going on in Iraq right now.

<p>The woman accusing Fox News host Bill O'Reilly of sexual harassment wants her life and career back, she told the Daily News yesterday.</p> <p>Fox News officials ordered "The O'Reilly Factor" associate producer Andrea Mackris to stay out of the office as they moved to fire her.</p>

I regularly TiVo Real Time with Bill Maher (Bill is so 'off' that he is more of a perverted curiosity that an offense any more). I think Maher actually is good for the right in that light... I noticed Bill O'Reilly was originally scheduled to be on this week's program with Howard Dean but according to the HBO site he is no longer on the roster...

If Matt Drudge gets the tapes of Mr. O'Reilly leaked to him...will he play those tapes on his radio show Sunday night? I know that Mr. O and Drudge have had their little battles in the past. If he does play the tapes...would it hurt Drudge? I think not. If you wanted to have these tapes of O'Reilly out in the public for hearing...who would you leak them too? Just wondering what the impact of this would be. Jedi

(antiTainment) Fox News has asked a judge to allow them to fire the woman that sued talk show host Bill O'Reilly for sexual harassment and to declare that the firing not be classified as retribution. Andrea Mackris, is an associate producer for "The O'Reilly Factor" on the cable news network. Last Wednesday, the network and O'Reilly sued her and her attorney, Benedict Morelli, claiming that they had tried to extort $60 million in "hush money" from the controversial host in return for her dropping her harassment case. The 33-year-old Mackris filed the sexual harassment suit against O'Reilly the same day....

A producer for The O'Reilly Factor, who has accused the show's host of sexual harassment, reportedly caused a scene with customers at a New York hotel bar. Bethenny Frankel claims she was with friends last Friday at the Peninsula Hotel when she asked producer Andrea Mackris if she could borrow an extra chair at the TV producer's table, causing Mackris to became irate, the New York Post reported Friday. She literally verbally attacked and abused and harassed us ... like a raving lunatic. It was very strange, said Frankel, a chef and owner of a cookie-making company. Mackris' attorney confirmed...

Feel free to slap Candidate Kerry. It sure feels good.

Is it me or is there a lack of interest in the Bill O'Reilly drama here on FR? I see news articles, but not nearly as many as, say, Kerry's remark about Mary Cheney.My thinking is that O'Reilly's attitude truly did lose him the support of those who put him on top. I don't take delight in his predicament, and I don't see a lot of others gloating over it either.What I'm sensing is apathy. It's as if people don't really care one way or the other. I think if O'Reilly hadn't dissed the Swiftvets, barely covered Rathergate, kissed sKerry's...

A couple of days ago Bill O'Reilly was in the middle of a diatribe on the Cathoics (I'm not one, but I believe) trying to intidate Kerry. He said, the word "sin" is thrown around way too much in this country. I would have to DISagree. The problem is that real sin is being ignored or blurred into mushy grays. In 2001, in the Jewish World Review, O'Reilly said in one of his rambling diatribes, "What the public school system needs are mandatory courses in Judeo-Christian ethics, the principles on which this country was founded." Does O'Reily know that it...

Scandal-hit Fox News moved yesterday to fire an employee who says she was sexually harassed by Bill O'Reilly - but wants a judge to declare the canning isn't retribution. Andrea Mackris, 33, said she was served legal papers about her termination by a man lying in wait for her at her Manhattan apartment building. The documents said Fox had asked a judge to let the TV station dump her from a $93,200-a-year job as associate producer on "The O'Reilly Factor" - and to rule that the firing was not in retaliation for her accusations about the show's host. Mackris sued...

While I don't agree with O'Reilly on 1/2 of his talking points, I do believe he is good for "Fair & Balanced" News but if true, everyone has to "Pay the Piper", at some point in their life. Let's pray this isn't true, but the complaint is pretty convincing.

A Monica Lewinsky she's not: Fox News Channel producer Andrea Mackris, 33, who filed a shocking sexual harassment lawsuit against her boss, conservative blowhard Bill O'Reilly, was once a White House intern. *The kicker: But NOT for President Bill Clinton. Mackris worked earlier for President George H.W. Bush.

SCOOP OF THE DAY: Andrea Mackris, the Fox News Channel producer who is in a legal tussle with Bill O'Reilly over sexual harassment allegations, is a St. Louis native who graduated from Westminster Christian Academy in 1989. Jim Marsh, head of the small private day school, said that Mackris was editor of the Ambassador, the student newspaper, and "was very good at it." Marsh added: "She was a very good student, a very good writer."

October 15, 2004 -- The woman accusing Bill O'Reilly of sex harassment threw a hissy fit inside a tony Midtown hotel bar last week and then sneered to onlookers that she works for "The O'Reilly Factor," a Manhattan chef told The Post yesterday. "She literally verbally attacked and abused and harassed us at The Peninsula hotel, like a raving lunatic," said Bethenny Frankel, a chef and owner of a cookie-making company. "It was very strange." The altercation allegedly started when Frankel asked Andrea Mackris if she could borrow two chairs from a four-person table where the TV producer was having...

TV host Bill O'Reilly suffered "the worst day of my life" yesterday after being thrust into a sleazy sex scandal - one so explosive, it has forced the talk-show loudmouth into silence. "I have been advised to keep my big mouth shut, and I have promised to do that," O'Reilly told the Daily News from his Fox News studio yesterday. But he didn't. "This has been the worst day of my life," O'Reilly said. "I am getting hounded by the press, and I knew I would be. I knew that they were going to kill me, but what am I...

"In a phone interview, O'Reilly would not say whether he had sexually explicit phone conversations with Mackris, as she charged in her lawsuit...Without confirming or denying that sexually explicit conversations took place, Green said tapes might indicate whether they were 'initiated for the purpose of entrapment.'"

NEW YORK Newspapers were faced with a touchy and sexually graphic subject after Andrea Mackris, a producer for the Fox News Channel, dropped a bombshell Wednesday by accusing Bill O'Reilly, star of Fox News' top-rated cable "The O'Reilly Factor," of sexually harassing her on several occasions over the years. O'Reilly responded with a legal action charging her and her attorney with an attempt to extort $60 million from him. There was plenty of steamy material to quote from, should the newspapers choose, with a pair of legal documents posted on the Web. USA Today, The New York Times, the Los...
