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.”

Hannity is really bad with the interrupting. Tucker lets his guests talk a little more before he pounces on them. Brett Baeir is good with his interviews. I’ve also had it with all the O’Reilly “Killing”books - ESP with that stunt he pulled with his Reagan book.

He loves to interview Trump haters Goldberg and Krauthammer about President Trump. He knows full well that both are going to be critical of him and treat the president with no respect whatsoever. Especially Goldberg, who talks and acts exactly like a liberal. By the way Fox is loaded up with pro-abortion, same-sex “marriage” loving “conservatives.” that include Goldberg, Krauthammer, Sheppy Smith, and Dennis Wilson.

If you think you’ve seen Andrea Tantaros on FOX recently, get your eyesight checked. I think you’re confusing her with Julie Banderas, who’s had a couple kids in the last few years and was gone for awhile.

$13 million in settlements.

The founder of a company I worked for got tanked at the office Christmas party and let a slutty employee service him in the parking lot. That was on a Friday.

She lawyered up on Monday and by the following Friday the board of directors agreed to a $25,000 settlement.

He managed to keep his job that time but when something similar happened a few years later he was given a pink slip along with a silver parachute.

It’s more than compliments and jokes. It’s unwanted propositions, filthy talk and threats if they don’t go along. Ask yourself, would you want your sister, wife, daughter, granddaughter treated this way?

Read the article. Bill O’Reilly’s behavior is disgusting. He was doing these things while married with small children. FOX has paid off these women with millions of dollars because he did these things. And Bill has the nerve to say he was protecting his children by paying them off.

And then when his wife rightfully divorces him he drags her and his children, who sided with their mother, through the mud. After he humiliated her with his infidelity he had the nerve to threaten her and sue her for custody.

I have no problem with him being found out. FOX should have given him an ultimatum years ago to shape up or be fired.

However, except for Ailes, and the low level guy they fired, have any OTHER FOX news “stars” been sued? O’Reilly is an old fashioned guy, who I think, is still operating under the “old rules”, when men got away with making off color remarks. (Not that they don’t still do that; it’s just not ignored like it used to be.) He strikes me as a bully. I’ve heard him talk about his old man, who was, I guess, a real tough, authoritarian old buzzard, hard as nails. Like a lot of us, we become more and more like our parents, as we age. I don’t see a lot of “Mr. Nice Guy” in O’Reilly. Doesn’t mean the charges are true, though. Just sayin’.

As far as I know Jefferson had no other affairs after Martha died.

There is a possible sexual affair and certainly a flirtatious affair with Maria Cosway, a married English woman whose husband was apparently quite forbearing. It is simply not known whether that relationship was consummated but it appears to have been over just before the arrival of 14-year-old Sally Hemings in Paris. Certainly, Jefferson was quite smitten with Cosway and she evidently with him until the relationship cooled.

I quit watching him more than a dozen years ago for precisely that reason.

Calm down. I was talking in general and about Roger Ailes. Haven’t read the article and don’t intend to. Not a fan of O’Reilly because he’s a pompous bore.

Damn, looks like Fox News has been one big frat party this whole time. It’s almost like they pretend to be conservative for ratings.

Tantaros and Juliette Huddy are two of his supposed targets.

Bill must be attracted to the obvious.

That is correct I forgot about that. Other than these two the others are rumors with no evidence.
