*Whoop*!1 - Reliable Sources is headlining the O'Reilly sex harassment pay-offs from NYT article!1

Two reporters who broke the story of more pay-offs *AFTER* Ailes left, "showing Fox had not really changed".

There was a FLOW CHART of all the women with the amounts of the settlements.

New news - there are TWO MORE who have yet to be paid/settled.

Zowie!1 O'LOOFAH must be in meltdown over the past days since the NYT article appeared. I think there was a substitute host at the end of the week - was he on Spring Break?!1

More new-news: They said some of the pay-offs were super secret, one in 2011 was not found out by 20th Century Fox until a year or two ago when they were conducting their own investigation.


**********REPOSTING my personal little take on O'LOOFAH, from over years:

O'LOOFAH is the stereotypical 1950s White male - repressed and oppressive, at the minimum verbally and emotionally abusive, at the maximum physically abusive, bursting with DENIAL above all and hypocrisy and resentment, starved for approval and attention, vicious bully, adolescent/immature sexual pervert (for being this way at his age).

He and the Faux Propaganda Network are in a devil's pact over cash, with only two solutions: Either he tanks in profits for them or he becomes a sexual cipher.

It is gobsmacking that he casts himself as a moral arbiter over everybody else (except his sick peers). He should be in isolation, doing nothing else but facing his own large problems.

O'LOOFAH's previous statement was that all these women are only out for cash because he's such a prominent target.

But the attorney says that there will be a news conference tomorrow with NEW INFORMATION. "Sensitivity training is not enough! Bring back the women (to their jobs), run out the predators from" the Faux workplace.

STELTER: O'LOOFAH says he's a target.

ATTORNEY: "Oh, boo hoo hoo, it's so hard to be Bill O'REILLY!1"

in the Update below.

But, in response to the "So?" part, I guess I'll explain the subtext of my post: I take pleasure in whatever big or little item that gives discomfort to our nefarious enemies, whether O'LOOFAH or DRUMPF or Shrub or whomever. With the first two in particular, we know how thin skinned they are, such that having his hypocrisy in such exposure is certainly giving him mental explosions, which prospect gives me extreme pleasure. In times like 8 years of Shrub and then now, when the most repulsive figures are lording it over us, the smallest bits of their discomfort give us (me, at least) encouragement in exaggerated proportions. So, I'm claiming the personal privilege of posting.

So, here's the downer part supporting your point:

[font size=5]Bill O’Reilly & Fox News Renew Contract Despite NY Times Story – Report[/font]

Update The Wall St. Journal is reporting that Bill O’Reilly is keeping his post at Fox News, and that both sides recently renewed his contract despite knowledge of today’s New York Times story. The Journal and Fox News are siblings under parent Rupert Murdoch.

Though Fox News declined to confirm on the Murdoch-owned WSJ report, a source with knowledge of the situation said that O’Reilly had indeed re-upped with the cable newser. Details on the specifics of what is certainly a multi-million, multi-year deal were not available. ....
