Originally posted by Tassman View PostFox had been forced to act amid constant ongoing sexual harassment at the company by O Reilly and Ailes. These problems had been known about for years and not acted upon until they could no longer be swept under the carpet, as previously. So yes, "hypocrisy".
Unlike Bill Clinton who just rode it out when his predatory behavior became something the Hillary's "nuts and sluts" war room could no longer sweep under the rug.
Unlike Timothy Geithner who just rode it out and became Secretary of Treasury (which oversees the IRS) after his serial tax cheating became known and could no longer be swept under the rug.
Unlike Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) who charged the taxpayers for use of a private airplane she owned and didn't pay property taxes on for years (all she had to do was pay what was owed, no interest, penalties or any of the things an average citizen would be faced with in such circumstances) and continues on her merry way.
Unlike Al Sharpton, who has for years owed over $4 million in back taxes, simply ignores it and continues on his way.
For the most part those on the left are not held accountable for their actions and as a result suffers no consequences.
And you want to talk about hypocrisy

Now, it appears that O’Reilly has also been very much a part of that behind-the-scenes culture."

Originally posted by Tassman View PostOnly when their harassment scandals could no longer be buried or paid off. And their multi-million dollar severance packages hardly amount to paying "a steep price".
Of course, you idiots think making a lewd remark should result in being executed or something so I'm not surprised that isn't "steep" enough for you. At this point I'm pretty much aspiring to be a sexual harassment victim because I'd be a few comments about my butt away from a multi-million dollars payout."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

Maybe O'Reilly should run as the Democratic presidential candidate for 2020.
That way he could morph from a sexual predator into a victim and his sexual indiscretions with no longer be any of our business.
As a bonus, he could lie to investigators and it would be OK.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

"Conservatives, on the other hand, demonstrate strong allegiance to Fox News. Among those with mostly conservative values, Fox is the only source trusted by a majority (72%). And among those who are consistently conservative, nearly nine-in-ten (88%) trust it as a source — by far the highest level of trust by any ideological group of any single source".
