Bill O’Reilly Is Forced Out at Fox News

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

Bill O’Reilly has been forced out of his position as a prime-time host on Fox News, the company said on Wednesday, after the disclosure of multiple settlements involving sexual harassment allegations against him. His ouster brings an abrupt and embarrassing end to his two-decade reign as one of the most popular and influential commentators in television.

 

“After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the company and Bill O’Reilly have agreed that Bill O’Reilly will not be returning to the Fox News Channel,” 21st Century Fox, Fox News’s parent company, said in a statement.

Bill O’Reilly, the embattled Fox News host, received a powerful show of support on Wednesday from a longtime friend, interview subject, ideological sympathizer and fellow scandal-survivor: the president of the United States.

Speaking in the Oval Office, Donald J. Trump praised Mr. O’Reilly as “a good person” and declared, “I don’t think Bill did anything wrong,” days after The New York Times reported that five women had received settlements after making harassment claims against him.

 They are so tight they even share lawyers

 

 

One of Marc Kasowitz’s other famous clients is President Donald Trump himself.

Kasowitz represented Donald Trump long before he became president, though. His firm began representing Trump in 2001 in a case involving Trump’s Atlantic City casino troubles.

In 2006, Kasowitz filed a defamation lawsuit against an author who had alleged that Donald Trump’s net worth is less than $1 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal. Kasowitz also worked on a Trump University fraud case and worked to keep Trump’s divorce records sealed.

“Like his prominent client, Kasowitz cuts a complex profile,” The Wall Street Journal reports. “He has earned the respect of clients for his willingness to take difficult cases other lawyers won’t touch, and the animosity of adversaries and former colleagues who have disagreed with him. He also, like Mr. Trump, engenders strong loyalty from longtime friends and partners.”

The Wall Street Journal described Marc Kasowitz as Donald Trump’s “go-to” lawyer. Kasowitz was happy with this characterization, featuring the article on his website.

Funny how the mdl so quickly forgets about the serial sexual adults of Clinton and the cover ups of Hillary.

 

Yes he could be President indeed.

Funny how neither Hillary nor Bill Clinton have anything to do with this thread.

Well Hillary clearly couldn't get elected, so she shouldn't be considered since whatever "misconduct" she was guilty of, she clearly wasn't able to become President.

 

Bill Clinton had not been accused of sexual assault at the time of his first Presidential campaign. Now we could talk about whether a sitting President can get REELECTED after allegations of sexual harassment are made public, and Clinton would obviously come up there. However that is a different discussion.

 

So yes, the most recent, and best model for someone who has been accused of sexual harassment multiple times and yet successfully being elected President would be Donald Trump.

It's interesting to see how the though process takes place in the middle of the road.

 

Bill O'Reilly is accused of several cases of sexual harassment.

So-called president Trump stands by his pal, as he himself has been caught on camera promoting grabbing women by their genitals.

O'Reilly later gets fired by none other than Rudolph Murdoch.

 

Yet, somewhere in between those yellow lines that run along so many highways across our great nation, billions of people

find justification in the disrespectful and uncivil acts of these men, because "Tommy did it too!"

 

Ah! The smell of bacon and eggs! America! Where the middle of the road sounds like the breakfast table in a household with several third graders.

The thing is....women love being grabbed by the genitals....they just like to decide where and when and by whom.

At least Spicer could finally have a well-deserved mental health break.

Why you don't say?! When did you first realize this?

[IAMX 3,055]

I have no doubts FOX faced substantial pressure from the regressive left, but more than anything for people like him to learn here is personal responsibility. Some people think they can get away with anything. O'Reilly rode a fine line already with his personal indiscretions before, I guess he didn't learn any lessons. I have no pity for people like that. It's not difficult to be decent to coworkers even if you have strong political beliefs.

Conway: …and that’s when he reached out and tried to fondle my genitals.

Judge: Mr. Trump, is that a fair account of the events?

Trump: It is your honor; but women like that.

Judge: What is it that women like?

Trump: They like being grabbed by the genitals.

Judge: (to victim) Is that true?

Conway: Well, your honor, I am not sure that is relevant.

Judge: How so?

Conway: Your honor, do you enjoy being touched in the genitals by your wife?

Judge: Ms Conway, please!

Conway: Please your honor. Indulge me.

Judge: Well, if you must. Yes I do, when we’re intimate.

Conway (to Trump): Will you please grab his honor’s genitals?

(Trump approaches the bench with an extended hand)

Judge: Mr. Trump! Ms. Conway!

Conway: Your honor, you said yourself, you like to be touched in the genitals.

Trump: Yes, you did your honor. And I am rich, and you can’t resist me.

Judge: But there is a place and time for everything.

Trump: What? A place and time? I am rich. I am very, very rich.

Conway: I rest my case, your honor.
