Change at Fox news...

[indiucky]

I am not saying he should but it would be fun seeing him as White House Press secretary....I try to imagine how the gaggle of press would react to him being behind the podium....A few heads would possibly really explode and that would be a hoot on C-Span....

IMHO....

My dad loved him and I was kind of lukewarm towards him...I do enjoy his books, at least the couple I read.....

I hardly watch Fox News anymore. OReilly was entertaining sometime but he's no conservative or libertarian, he's pretty much a populist with an ego. Hannity is like a broken record and just wears me out. Juan and Bob make The 5 almost unwatchable. Special Report's pretty good but I've fallen out of the habit of watching it.

I bet he'd be great at that job. With his presence and mannerisms, he'd be good at it.

He was a Long Island High School history teacher....The press corps always reminds me of high school students sitting in rows in front of the teachers desk....I think it may work...I really do...Maybe that's Bill's "special purpose"....(Cue Steve Martin "The Jerk" reference...)

It does not pay near enough to cover Bills ego.

Good point. Not that I think there's any fire to this smoke but....POTUS doesn't pay nearly as much as a reality tv show host either

I have never been a fan and only watched his show a few times years ago.
I also know to never believe a lot of these accusations. Once the smear merchants are engaged in their attacks the situation is hopelessly muddied.

You only have to believe some of the accusations.

 

[speedracer302]

Yep, every right wing, right leaning news personally has a target on their back. I beleive that more then anything.

How long before some lefty digs up some dirt on Sean Spicer. He is giving lefty's apoplexy left and right, well more left.

Tucker Carlson and Jessy Watters have to be watching there backs at Fox too. Lots of lefty's hate them as well.

I have notise Fox hires some of the hottest and some of the smartest gals. Look at Harris Faulkner. And many of the others. Then go look at the line up at MSNBS. Woof.

If Old Billy was playing grab ass I hope he pays dearly. But if this is just a move to placate the lefty's or a smear job I feel for him.

Pays dearly, LOL He got 25 million out of the deal...

Was that his buy out..??

Ordinarily, it would be easy to believe all the accusations against BO, but for the fact that Media Matters and David Brock have been on this Ahabesque mission against this particular white whale for nearly twenty years straight, and Fox News in general at least as long.
Next up for their Stalinism are Limbaugh and Hannity, then the next, then the next, then...
These hard leftists don't believe at all in a debate of ideas; they don't believe in anyone existing who disagrees with them; they seek to punish anyone for simple disagreement.
In short, they want no part of a debate, a debate that they lack the intellectual and factual basis to win; so they instead seek to wipe out the opposition any way they can.
That's why anything that these Stalinists are involved with is impossible to believe at face value.

I'm betting Oreilly was living on the edge. Major grey area's exist in that world I'd guess. I bet very motivated hottie's looking for airtime to advance their careers could blur some lines real quick. Then the fallout could turn brown just as quick.

Things that might have been innocent or consensual or "funny" get real touchy when they turn into millions of dollars of worth.

 

[ghuns]

Was that his buy out..??

Yep. Per his contract, he gets one year's salary.

Just thinking, is it possible these women were playing up to him to gain advancement, then he asks them to come across and they get a dose of reality? Of course foolish for him, especially at his age to take that seriously. The saying comes to mind: "There's no fool like an old fool"

For what it's worth...and I know what a lot of people think of Glenn Beck's opinions...but he and Bill are good friends. They've traveled together, etc. And he's stated this week, basically, he'd be very surprised if this side of OReilly actually exists. He's stated that he's watched him in action around the job and in his dealings with him, including on the road and he's never seen anything out of him that would lead him to believe these accusations are true. I've had time to listen to a good portion of his show this week and he's spent a lot of time recalling working around OReilly and some of the tactics Roger Ailes (sp?) used to keep the Fox talent at each others' throats, etc.

It's a common thing for celebrities and high profile people to settle suits to limit their financial liabilities and the drain on their time and resources regardless of guilt.

I don't have a dog in this fight. I hardly ever watch OReilly's show anymore and that's been true for years. He's not a conservative or libertarian and frankly, his views are often in conflict with mine. But I repel at the possibility of an innocent man being treated as if he's guilty and I tend to lean towards the position that Bill is getting the shaft in all of this.

If this is even remotely true he has shown poor judgement.

Looks like men should record any and all interactions with women...

Or adopt the Mike Pence practices.

His policy, while ridiculed by some idiots, makes a lot of sense for someone trying to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
