Bill O'Reilly's Golden Payout From Fox is an Outrage

[Manonthestreet]

Maybe ...just maybe ......he would have beat all this in court which is why he got bigger settlement .........maybe the whole purpose is to add another lib mouthpiece

Maybe ...just maybe ......he would have beat all this in court which is why he got bigger settlement .........maybe the whole purpose is to add another lib mouthpiece

Add another lib mouthpiece to Fox, you mean?
Tucker Carlson is taking The Factor's slot and The Five is taking Carlson's old spot. Eric Bolling is going to be doing something new at 5 p.m. and that brat Jesse Watters is taking his place on The Five. Ain't nothing liberal about Carlson or Watters or Bolling. The closest thing they have to a liberal is Dana Perino and she isn't going anywhere, I hope.

FOX didn't want to go to court. O'Reilly did. He most certainly would have beat it in court because even the accusers admit there were no witnesses.

There wasn't even any harassment. Leering behind someone's back is hardly harassment .

And, of course, there were no witnesses, which means it never happened. Remember all the Trump accusers? They also had no witnesses. Where are they now? Why didn't they pursue their cases? We all know it's because the whole thing was nothing but a big smear job. They're doing the same thing to O'Reilly.

O'Reilly just signed a contract for two years at 20 million per year. The network should have had to buy out the entire contract of 40 million.

Most of the advertisers who "left" were never advertisers to begin with. The advertisers who objected just went to other shows. Worse for Fox, most of their money doesn't come from advertising but from cable fees. Their contract with Spectrum will be up in a few days. With the loss of the ratings powerhouse, Spectrum can drive a harder bargain and COST Fox much more that a few advertisers would TEMPORARILY cause.

Spectrum is not an independent company. It is owned by another cable provider, Charter Communications.

(CNN) Bill O'Reilly is reportedly walking away with tens of millions of dollars. How insulting. After being accused of habitual sexual harassment and other lewd acts, causing him and his employer, Fox News, to pay out $13 million in settlements; after costing the network millions when advertisers fled his show; after finally being fired from his job after years — he leaves with a golden payout.

Don't think for one second his firing is a win for women in the workplace. It is far from that.

Had a New York Times story earlier this month not exposed reports of the toxic culture at the network that tolerated and enabled his alleged behavior for years, Fox would likely have kept silencing any women who complained.

Even O'Reilly's book publisher at MacMillian (The Holt List), is standing with the fallen network host, perhaps hoping to cash in on Bill's misogynist ways. He has a new book in the works; it's planned for September.

It seems Fox has a clear corporate strategy in place: reward men who intimidate, berate and harass women at work. Silence the women at all costs. And, no matter what, do not hurt profits. O'Reilly's show reportedly brought in $200 million for Fox. Still, most analysts predict profits won't be hurt much by O'Reilly's ouster.

How do we know about this Fox strategy? We saw it played out last summer, too, when another alleged top predator, former Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, was forced out amid accusations of sexual harassment. Anchor Gretchen Carlson got $20 million. Ailes' "exit package" from Fox was about $40 million. When a corporate culture is toxic you can bet it starts at the top.

So, when the spotlight shifted to O'Reilly, who reportedly was making $18- to $20-million a year as the host of "The O'Reilly Factor," it was not shocking. Fox likely got a clue that it had to act, since the allegations have kept coming. Only a few days ago, a black woman who was a clerical worker at the network in 2008, alleged she was intimidated by O'Reilly for years.

O'Reilly would come by her desk, leer at the woman and call her "hot chocolate," she alleged. She was scared, her attorney, Lisa Bloom, told the Hollywood Reporter. Bloom, who helped the woman report the harassment to the Fox network's hot line, says her client is not seeking monetary damages.

Rewarding sexual assaulters, it's the conservative way! Republican shitbags rewarded Trump's sexual assault with a presidential win, Fox rewards Bill-O the clown with tens of millions of dollars. Gotta love those Repubican "family values."

This is your weekly reminder to never, EVER vote Republican.

Oh, and before I forget, "But Bill Clintoooooooonnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!"

So....asshole......making bill clinton a saint......who is allowed to actually show himself in public without having rocks thrown at him....who is worshiped by you assholes.....a man who is accused of 3 rapes, and over a dozen sexual assaults......and you want to pile on to o'reilly....really? How do you walk around with balls that big? And your pals in Hollywood....who gave a standing ovation to roman polanski who was convicted of raping a 13 year old girl...who whoopi goldberg said, yeah...but it wasn't rape, rape. And Hollywood......where they tell actors and actresses that they have to take off their clothes, and simulate sex acts on screen....and if they won't, they don't work....and the open secret of the pedophilia that is rampant in Hollywood, and no one says shit about it, or outs the monsters....

Again...how do you left wingers walk around with balls that big?

Nice selfie!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Unproven sexual allegations isn't a stigma.

You give Clinton that, too?

Slick Willy was impeached and rightly so. Jack weed

And the Senate found him Not Guilty.

Impeachment of Bill Clinton - Wikipedia
Can you suck any more Bill Clinton dick?

O'Reilly & Trump have not been found Not Guilty, as Clinton was.

When was the trial? Bubba had a trial!

 

[Fueri]

I feel the outrage.





.....and find it hilarious...

Hey........bill clinton is accused of actual rape and sexual assault...and the left wing worships him.....O'reilly is a saint compared to bill clinton the rapist and sexual predator.....

True, slick Willy was impeached for his repugnant sick behavior. The Clintons are the most repugnant of people

He was impeached for lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice, not his behavior.

Uh, he was lying about his behavior!

Dana Perino is about as close to a liberal as Juan Williams is to being a conservative!

HOW BEAUTIFULLY LIBERAL!

"Rewarding"? Hardly. It's how contracts work.

is there never a clause that protects the corporation and stock holders in these contracts? Like...if you disgrace the corporation through lude and crude conduct, or break the company rules on harassment, you can be let go without your golden parachute being paid?

TY, Bripat, I was not certain on that.... I think if they would have done it when they got their first complaint, before their first payout, it would have been easier than to come out now, after they had paid victims off on his behalf, millions, it would not have been as hard on the court battle and FOX would have come out smelling like a Rose...but because they ENABLED it, they had to pay him off with the golden goose egg.

Yes there is. Those are called morals clauses. O'Reilly didn't have one. Of course, if he did and FOX wanted to invoke it, they would have to prove it in a court of law, and they didn't want to go down that road.

TY, Bripat, I was not certain on that.... I think if they would have done it when they got their first complaint, before their first payout, it would have been easier than to come out now, after they had paid victims off on his behalf, millions, it would not have been as hard on the court battle and FOX would have come out smelling like a Rose...but because they ENABLED it, they had to pay him off with the golden goose egg.

If they had gone to court they would have lost, because there were no witnesses to any of the claims made by the accusers.
