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

[Avatar4321]

The O'Reilly derangement is at fevor pitch.

You can't find better comedy.

Poor Bill......25 million richer.

Is that what the number is? $25 fucking million?

Bwahahaha I love it. You idiots don't understand what a contract is. The employer cannot just get out of a contract because of accusations. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

O'Reilly is in Breach of Contract for violating his morals clause.

Really? Does he have a morals clause? If so how did he breach of because there isn't any evidence of harassment.

 

[Flopper]

(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!!!!!!!"

It's OK. No problem. O'Reilly has been very wealthy for a long time. If it had just been about the money he would have retired years ago.

Console yourself with several obvious realities:
1. No one is going to hire him and put him on the air. This is like DEATH to him.
2. He no longer has a building full of women to chase and insult. This is like DEATH to him.
3. His public persona has been forever stained and reputation irrevocably harmed. This is like DEATH to him...
because these things are ALL he cares about and he's lost all three.

1) he can pretty much get a job anywhere.
2) there is still no evidence supporting these allegations yet so I doubt it is like death to him. Especially since !any women like men with money
3) his reputation has only been harmed among those who thought he sucked already anyways

Just curious, where does a conservative TV political commentator find a job on a major TV network after being fired by Fox over sexual allegations.

 

[Wyatt earp]

He is under contract. There also isn't any proof he did those things. Therefore, they cant just fire him without paying him off. He has been the number one for show for many years. Ranks in hundreds of millions dollars a year. His contract is in his favor anyways, I would imagine.
Instead of knee jerking, try to think a bit.

I heard he had just signed a 3 year, 20 mil/yr contract. So he left with less than half of what he would have earned.

Yet twice as much as what his victims were paid.

His victims? Accusation were made, that's it.

The same is true for Bill Clinton, yet I have never seen you point that out!

Hmmm...

Was he president?

[SYTFE]

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.

Um, no. The overwheming majority of their revenue comes from advertising, not "cable fees."

Nope. Once they fall from grace they don't come back, Dan Rather, Brian Williams, Martin Bashir, Howard Cosell, at least not on TV. Just like all the others, O'Reilly will sit it out to give the public time to forget. The problem is the public does forget and they end up as a guess star on various programs or maybe a show on some TV cable channel no one ever heard of, or just writing a book, or column, or doing some documentaries.

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.

Rest here: Bill O'Reilly's golden payout from Fox is an outrage - CNN.com
------------------------------------

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!!!!!!!"

That's all a load of horseshit. It's nothing but innuendo.

O'Reilly has a contract that says Fox will pay him $25 million per year for the next 4 years, so if he gets anything less than $100 million, it's a bargain.

Fox is delusional if they think O'Reilly leaving isn't going to hurt their profits. Who do you imagine is going to bring in the same dough, that Bushy #neverTrumper Dana Perino?

It's OK. No problem. O'Reilly has been very wealthy for a long time. If it had just been about the money he would have retired years ago.

Console yourself with several obvious realities:
1. No one is going to hire him and put him on the air. This is like DEATH to him.
2. He no longer has a building full of women to chase and insult. This is like DEATH to him.
3. His public persona has been forever stained and reputation irrevocably harmed. This is like DEATH to him...
because these things are ALL he cares about and he's lost all three.

1) he can pretty much get a job anywhere.
2) there is still no evidence supporting these allegations yet so I doubt it is like death to him. Especially since !any women like men with money
3) his reputation has only been harmed among those who thought he sucked already anyways

Just curious, where does a conservative TV political commentator find a job on a major TV network after being fired by Fox over sexual allegation.

So your saying the media is bias?

Check mate

I'm saying TV networks, particular those with a strong liberal following are not likely to hire a conservative tv political commentator with a history of sexual allegations. Most likely he will end up on Dancing with the Stars, late night TV, and occasional guess on political panels, and more books. His days of glory are about over.

He is a super star you can't shut him up as much as Tomi
It's war now

The only question is "when will a new cable news network spring up to replace FOX?"

Yes, among political conservatives but how many conservative TV news networks are there. I can't exactly picture him with his own show on MSNBC or CNN. I guess he could do a radio talk show, but that would certainly be a step down.

There is another aspect. No employer wants to hire someone carrying a stigma of sexual harassment or sexual allegations.

We will see more of him, but probably not in his own show on a major network.
