Bill O'Reilly's Leaked Email Shows Last-Minute Effort to Save His Job. 5:01 PM PDT 4/20/2017 by THR Staff An email exchange shows the former Fox News host and his legal team's plan to send revealing emails to upper management, though he still threatened, "I will not put up with much more from FNC.
" Former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, who was let go by the news network on Wednesday following controversy surrounding sexual harassment claims against him made by several women, sent emails the day before his ouster to his legal team that highlight a last-minute effort to save his position, according to reports by Politico. The April 18 email exchange reveals that O’Reilly, in an attempt to secure his job at the network, tried to convince Fox News executives that he was not a liability, and a coordinated attack was being unfairly directed at him. The email was sent to Politico on Wednesday by a member of O'Reilly's legal team, though a rep for the former Fox News host later said the email had been sent accidentally.
‘SHUT UP!’: Watch Bill O’Reilly lose it when Al Franken exposes him as a liar during vintage segment. Before he was a U.S.
Senator, Al Franken was the author of Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, a satirical book that excoriated conservative media. In 2003, he faced off with one of the subjects of his book, the infamous Bill O’Reilly, during a panel discussion at the author event BookExpo. O’Reilly and Franken both spoke on the panel, beginning with the Fox News host, who promised he doesn’t “call anybody a liar” and doesn’t lie himself—as evidenced by the fact that his show doesn’t retract things.
“If I’m going to be accused of being a liar, you better have something there,” O’Reilly said to Franken before the future senator spoke. And speak he did. Choking, Harassing, and Loofahs: Women’s Allegations Against Bill O’Reilly Piled Up for Years Before His Demise. A confluence of advertiser boycotts and newly unearthed sexual-harassment cases brought him down—but his troubling alleged behavior towards women has gone on for decades.
Bill O’Reilly is done at Fox News. The reign of the most-watched host on the right-wing cable news network is coming to an end after two full decades, brought down by a perfect storm of newly unearthed sexual-harassment accusations, a massive advertiser boycott, and the absence of Roger Ailes, a fellow serial harasser of women, to protect him. 21st Century Fox confirmed the end of O’Reilly’s tenure in a Wednesday statement: “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.”
Even though this latest spate of accusations were what led to his on-air demise, O’Reilly has had a long, troubling history with women in both the workplace and at home. Bill O'Reilly's Early Career Video, Courtesy of His Local News Station. Bill O'Reilly spent the last few weeks making just the kind of headlines no one wants to make.
A bombshell report from The New York Times claimed that he and Fox News have settled sexual harassment lawsuits from five different women to the tune of $13 million. Subsequently, more women have come forward with more allegations. And then the advertisers started pulling out: Now, more than 70 companies have yanked their ads from the real estate surrounding the No Spin Zone. While O'Reilly's ratings are actually increasing amidst the furor, which tells its own story, losing advertisers is never good for a TV show. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below. How Does This (Alleged) Creep Still Have a Job?
Mere months after the ousting of former Fox News head Roger Ailes for inappropriate behavior, in January, the company reached a settlement with a woman who claimed she was sexually harassed by popular Fox News host Bill O'Reilly.
This is hardly the first allegation of inappropriate behavior or sexual harassment against O'Reilly. It is the fifth. Fox News has paid more than $13 million to women who have complained about O'Reilly. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below According to the New York Times, sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior are part of a pattern for the embattled host. The women all said they snubbed his advances, and some claimed he penalized them as a result.

</a> Bob Woodward called bullsh*t on Bill O'Reilly Wednesday night after the Fox News host tried to smear the Washington Post for being used by the anonymous sources that got General Michael Flynn fired. O'Reilly opened his show by railing against Wikileaks and their new dump on the CIA. As the two debated about using anonymous sources, Bill said he wouldn't use them only if he could verify them, intimating that the New York Times and Washington Post get post-its of intelligence briefs from ISIS and use them to hurt Trump.
Bob Woodward angrily responded, “That’s B.S.” Woodward said it was Trump that fired Flynn and not his newspaper, but Bill wasn't happy. As the two continued to joust, Woodward told O’Reilly that it wasn’t the paper that fired Flynn, but Trump. Fake Sweden expert on Fox News – has criminal convictions in US, no connection to Swedish security. President Trump's statements about Sweden, based on a report on his favourite TV-channel Fox News, continue to drive the debate about the country in the United States.
Sweden is portrayed as a nation plagued by crime and rape, in large part due to immigration. This friday the matter was the focus of debate during the conservative Fox-presenter Bill O’Reilly's show, where Nils Bildt confirmed Donald Trump's negative view of Sweden. Nils Bildt was introduced by Fox as a ”Swedish defense and national security advisor”, which has caused more than a few raised eyebrows. Bildt said that it is possible to ”have an open and honest debate in Sweden about integration” and tat the politicians ”has absolutely no systematic plan for integrating mass amounts of immigrants to become productive members of society”. – The Swedish political debate is completely false. And, commenting about crime: Swedish version: Okänd Bildt på Fox News. Bill O'Reilly told different accounts of encounter at gunpoint in Argentina. Bill O’Reilly has told different versions of an encounter at gunpoint that he claims to have experienced while reporting in Argentina – one involving a single armed soldier and the other detailing several troops.
The Fox News anchor, who has been accused of exaggerating his accounts of wartime coverage, also once said that he was shot at while reporting in the field – a statement he appears not to have repeated in recent years. Footage emerged on Sunday of the Fox News anchor talking in 2008 about having an M16 rifle pointed at him by a teenage Argentinian soldier, who was 10ft away, while O’Reilly reported on a riot in Buenos Aires at the end of the Falklands war in 1982. “The guy was about 18, 19 years old,” O’Reilly told interviewer Marvin Kalb in front of an audience.

Watch Tavis Smiley attack “racial arsonist” Donald Trump right to Bill O’Reilly’s face. On The O’Reilly Factor’s election night returns show, host Bill O’Reilly welcomed African-American radio host Tavis Smiley on the program to talk about his new book, “50 For Your Future: Lessons from Down the Road,” as well as the problem the Republican party is having connecting with black voters.
O’Reilly began by noting that in the last election, Mitt Romney won 6 percent of the black vote, while Barack Obama pulled in 93 percent of it. “That’s a huge advantage for the Democrats, obviously,” he said, before quoting from a USA Today editorial Smiley wrote in which he wrote that “it might be a miscalculation for Democrats to take for granted that black voters are a lock for their nominee” if the GOP nominates Trump as theirs. “I know you’re no fan of Mr. Donald Trump, Bill O'Reilly Interview Is Awkward - Post-Debate Interview Gets Personal. In the minutes after last night's WWE: Presidential Edition, it was time for Bill O'Reilly to, as promised, galavant around the arena sticking his mic in people's faces. Of course, O'Reilly made a beeline for one man: the apricot demagogue, the vulgar talking yam, the Great White But Kind of Orange Hope—Donald Trump. Speculation raged on the Tweet Machine that O'Reilly was hammered for this segment, but it was clear from the start that Papa Bear don't take no mess.
First, he cut the Donald off mid-dodge on the question as to who his main rival was. Then, he made a grave mistake: he questioned the man's energy levels. Bill O'Reilly Schools Donald Trump Over 'Operation Wetback' Bill O’Reilly responds like a spoiled, scolded child to George Will’s devastating review of “Killing Reagan” Conservative columnist George Will attacked Bill O’Reilly’s new book, “Killing Reagan, in the Washington Post on Thursday — calling it “a tissue of unsubstantiated assertions” that “will distort public understanding of Ronald Reagan’s presidency more than hostile but conscientious scholars could” — and to the surprise of absolutely no one, O’Reilly shot back last night.
Will’s criticism was admittedly harsh. He warned readers of O’Reilly’s book to beware, as they were “about to enter a no-facts zone,” and referred to the book as “nonsensical history and execrable citizenship,” so it’s not as O’Reilly wasn’t within his rights to be offended. And offended he was. He began by noting the difference between “slander” and “libel,” which Will misused in his column — because, of course, noting one error in an otherwise sound review of a book invalidates all of the other valid criticisms contained therein. Watch the entire segment below via Mediaite. ‘You’re a hack!': Bill O’Reilly and George Will rip into each other over disputed Reagan book. Things got ugly in the “No Spin Zone” Friday night when Fox News host Bill O’Reilly tore into conservative columnist George Will over a column critical of O’Reilly’s book “Killing Reagan.”
While the O’Reilly Factor is normally a safe zone for conservatives, Will discovered that wasn’t the case after the host invited him on to defend a column where he claimed O’Reilly “slandered” the memory of Ronald Reagan. In the column, Will mocked the book’s “pretense of scholarship,” writing, “The book’s perfunctory pieties about Reagan’s greatness are inundated by its flood of regurgitated slanders about his supposed lassitude and manipulability. This book is nonsensical history and execrable citizenship, and should come with a warning: ‘Caution — you are about to enter a no-facts zone.'” Face to face with O’Reilly, it didn’t get any more pleasant with O’Reilly calling Will “a hack” repeatedly and saying he had libeled him.
Will, in turn, did not back down. Jorge Ramos puts Bill O’Reilly in his place: “You’re not the right person to lecture me on advocacy and journalism” Univision and Fusion’s Jorge Ramos — who was ejected from a Donald Trump news conference last week — went on “The O’Reilly Factor” Wednesday evening and accused host Bill O’Reilly of being a hypocritical partisan. O’Reilly began by warning his viewers that they were about to experience something that would “horrify” them — “getting to know” more about Ramos. So he asked why Ramos opposed building a wall along the United States’ southern border, when not having one is theoretically responsible for Francisco Sanchez, Kate Steinle’s alleged murderer, from entering the country. “You’re an enabler, Jorge, you’re enabling guys like Sanchez,” he said. “You have to concentrate on enforcement, background checks, and at the same time you have to resolve the situation of 11 million people in this country,” Ramos replied.
“Do you believe that Mexican nationals, Guatemalan nationals, Honduran nationals, have a right to come to the United States?” Watch the entire interview below via Fox News. The Summer of Killer Immigrants, Brought to You by Bill O'Reilly. Solidifying his status as one of the great jackasses of our time, Bill O'Reilly has taken up a new cause. He's trying to make an undocumented Mexican murder suspect into this century's Willie Horton, casting the "ultra-left" city of San Francisco in the role of Mike Dukakis. O'Reilly's effort to publicize the killing of a 31 year-old white woman named Kate Steinle, allegedly at the hands of an oft-deported immigrant named Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, is turning into the surprise second act of Donald Trump's ill-fated "Mexicans are murdering, raping monsters" campaign.
He's even borrowing Trump's flair for rhetoric. In the past week, he's denounced a San Francisco councilman as a "pinhead" and compared Salon.com to the white supremacist site Stormfront.

Bill O’Reilly’s sick pathology: Why his systematic lying is even worse than reported. O'Reilly's JFK Reporting Was Impossible. I Know Because I Was There. I was recently bemused to see that Bill O’Reilly, the Fox News host, managed in 2012 to parachute himself back in time to March 29, 1977 so as to make himself a witness to the gunshot that killed George de Mohrenschildt. De Mohrenschildt, a well-connected Russian émigré, was a figure of interest in the mystery of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy because he had befriended Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of JFK.
How did O’Reilly get into the act? In his 2012 best-selling book Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot, he wrote himself—as a 29-year-old reporter—into the de Mohrenschildt death scene, stating on page 300: “As the reporter knocked on the door of de Mohrenschildt’s daughter’s home, he heard the shotgun blast that marked the suicide of the Russian, assuring that his relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald would never be fully understood. Journalist Says He Can Prove Bill O'Reilly Wasn't Present At JFK-Related Suicide.
Investigative journalist Edward Jay Epstein says he can prove that Bill O'Reilly was not present at the 1977 suicide of a JFK-related figure that the host said he witnessed. He can prove it, because he was there. In a searing takedown published in Newsweek on Monday, Epstein said it was "impossible" for the Fox News host to be there. Bill Maher Calls Bill O'Reilly A Liar On 'Real Time' Olbermann Just Can't Resist Debunking Bill O'Reilly's Athletic Career Again (VIDEO) When Keith Olbermann returned to ESPN last year, he pledged that his days as a liberal firebrand were behind him. His new show would only touch on politics, he said, if the story also intersected with sports.
"If the House is considering a bill to make (performance-enhancing drug) use a capital offense, we'll cover it," he told USA Today. Under that rubric, a famous political pundit storming off a sports talk radio show would probably qualify. And if that pundit also happens to be the former MSNBC host's erstwhile nemesis, then it's probably a safe bet that it will make it to air. Fox News Should Thank MoJo for O’Reilly Story.
