Bill O'Rielly has made FOX cancel publication of a book?
Edited on Mon Nov-20-06 04:13 PM by RGBolen
Drudge has headline with no story that OJ book/TV special is canceled

I guess from now on we should all have to get Bill's permission before we can print bind and sell words.

8. They're cancelling the OJ book
Which means that at this late date they're really taking a financial soaking on their ethical position--the book is printed, shipped to stores and ready to drop, and the special is already in the can.

9. I'll bet OJ has cashed the check already
Fred Goldman wouldn't have gotten anything, anyway.

10. I wasn't going to watch the special
but I take offense to O'Reilly preaching and demanding that everyone do the obvious. I doubt many people were planning to tune in. It is O'Reilly who gave the upcoming special all that publicity.

11. I think Orally's plan backfired
He was trying to create buzz and controversy to get more publicity for the book, but it backfired.

It's gone.

I'm not saying Captain Phonesex did it all by himself.

But I bet his Corporate Masters are NOT pleased.

I wonder if he'll be getting a visit from Fox Security?
