Justice for Bill O’Reilly By Ned Barnett April 24, 2017 As Bill O’Reilly has just learned, America has become a nation that punishes men who are charged by women with inappropriate behavior. Convictions based on proof are not necessary – the charges are sufficient. Members of the Duke Lacrosse team lost a great deal – their lives were tarnished forever – before it finally became clear that their accuser was making up her charges out of whole cloth. Since that time, college leaders – as well as corporate board room executives – have not learned the lesson of Duke – that men are entitled to their day in court. An allegation should be different than a conviction. However, Bill O’Reilly doesn’t need me to defend him, so I won’t. O’Reilly himself charges that he was done in by “unfounded claims.” Perhaps that’s true, but his saying so doesn’t mean he’s telling the truth. I don’t know if O’Reilly is guilty of being a sexual harasser or just an arrogant Long Island jerk who became the easy target of some people who looked to cash in by blackmailing Fox News. Neither do you. Which means we cannot know is whether Bill O’Reilly saw justice served for behavior that went way beyond legal bounds, or whether Bill O’Reilly was “lynched” by a mob powerful people at Fox who – in the wake of last year’s Roger Ailes sexual harassment scandal – were afraid of one more scandal. I can see how each of these two completely different scenarios could be plausible, and I can make a case for either one of them. First, justice served. Bill O’Reilly has a reputation for low-level sexual harassment in the work place. Some years ago, he and Fox settled a claim with a woman who cried foul after O’Reilly supposedly committed unnamed but unacceptable acts in her presence, or on her person. Since it was settled out of court and the terms of the settlement were sealed, those details are mere speculation. However, in the spirit of “where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” O’Reilly’s decision to settle the case means he must have been involved in a sexual harassment case. [**Snip**] On the other hand, the Lynch Mob. O’Reilly had a past legal claim against him for sexual harassment at work. And he wasn’t nice to his ex-wife. On the other hand, the sexual harassment suit was settled with no finding of fault. In addition, that lawsuit O’Reilly filed against his ex-, he just won to the tune of more than $14 million dollars. That settlement that suggests he was the wronged party, instead of the “wrong party.” [**Snip**] So there are two possible scenarios. Each one is plausible, based on the limited facts available. But one thing is clear. Bill O’Reilly lost his case before the Fox News Court of Last Appeal without facing his accusers, without even having his day in that court. He was charged, tried, convicted and executed while on a pre-scheduled Easter vacation, timing which seems awfully convenient for Fox News. However, there is a larger issue here. As I said, I’m not defending O’Reilly – he’s perfectly capable of defending himself. But this action by Fox is very much in sync with what is happening on college campuses across America, as well as in other less public venues such as in corporate and non-profit organization boardrooms.

Especially Muslims are exempt and useful tools who spread half truths through humor, like the pervert David Letterman. David Letterman and his 2009 sex scandal didn't hurt the card carrying Democrat TV station or Letterman. (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/letterman-sex-scandal-blame-article-1.1233145) Recently in a discussion, I asked a feminist friend of mine why she could support a woman whose husband violently raped at least one woman, and had molested another in the Oval Office, she responded simply that she didn't believe Juanita Brodderick, or Kathleen Willey. No matter that both were Democrat s who were volunteering for Clinton. Their stories simply didn't serve the popular narrative. It's infuriating. Hillary Clinton incompetently lost the election that was rigged for her to win. The Progressive Marxist Left, and their complicit sycophantic MSM are infuriated at the loss. Now they want to collect scalps using any way they can. They got Flynn, they tried to and nearly got Sessions. Now they're celebrating bringing down O'Reilly. This is just the beginning. They went after Sean Hannity and lost but their true aim is to get Donald Trump. In the meantime, you can expect many more attempts to destroy anyone conservative in either the media or government. Not to worry, though, if you are a Progressive Marxist liberal guilty of anything illegally real or severe you are not only immune from being attacked for your misbehavior, but the biased lame complicit MSM will actively protect you.
And what did O'Reilly do? Its been pretty vague, all I can find is "sexual harassment" which in this day could mean something as trivial as "You look hot in that dress". The same with Roger Ailes. Sounds like the "progressives" decided it was time to take down Fox so they created some fake hysteria.
Working at Fox does not mean you are conservative. Megyn Kelly is not conservative, few thought she ever was, she has stated she has voted for R and D. But she is an opportunist. I suspect most people angling for an anchor position at a big media organization are opportunists and are not driven by political ideology. Several years ago, I heard on the radio Rachel Maddow giving a speech at (I think) a womens college. The part I heard was about America and war. I agreed with everything she was saying and thought I was listening to a Tea Party speaker until she was identified, shocked the hell out of me. She was completely different from her tv show - on her show she caters to the targeted audience.
It's a country where sponsors don't like to be associated with anything that might adversely affect the image and perception of their brand among consumers. So, old Bill won't be beamed into Fox viewers' living rooms anymore. He can use the new media, such as podcasting and YouTube, or retire comfortably, and Fox and bring in some new demagogue to take over telling the conservative sheep what to think.
Yep, they try to rationalize this but the beast is dead. The old farts watching Fox don't listen to podcasts. And he doesn't scream enough to gain favor with the younger brainwashed masses.
He probably could have been the *****-grabber's VP if he had played his cards right. What a compatible and complimentary pair they would have made. Nothing either of these repulsive misogynists would have done would turn off their fans.
The old farts also don't need Fox to report the news. They've been around long enough to know the MSM is the last place to find news. Fox costs money, so there's no chance that they would find a market with progressive bed wetters. Broadcast TV, the major networks, no longer enjoy a monopoly on "Free". What if bed wetters discover One American News, a conservative news outlet that is almost free? Could they be re-brainwashed? The Atlantic gave us the reason that O'Reilly was ousted after decades of unsubstantiated accusations and a few non-PC but fully justifiable comments. The Murdoch boys reached down into their inner progressiveness to find morality. The Murdochs are trying to attain approval for a takeover of SkyTV through the British media regulator, Ofcom. The deal is worth $14B versus the $446M O'Reilly attracts. Weighing which was larger, the Murdochs applied mathematics in conjunction with morality to arrive at a tactic to impress Ofcom.
Link us to their political affiliations. Not calling you a liar, just curious as to how we know they are conservatives.
Justice? Did you read about what he got paid for leaving? I wish someone would give me some justice like that.
Ever heard of a severance package? Want cash like that? Be good at what you do, generate income/profits well, & get yourself a decent contract.
