The Fox News Network, cable news number one network of spin parted ways with its host Bill O'Reilly and his spin zone over allegations of sexual harassment that was reported settled out of court to the tune of several million dollars. The allegations was reported that more than one woman were involved. O'Reilly denied the allegations and said the truth will be made known at a later date.
It is not the first time Fox has settled out of court concerning sexual harassment by one of its employees. The network is known for its female employees to show a lot of legs while on the air. O'Reilly had the number one rated show that was full of spin and the "FACTOR' was used by O'Reilly to pass off his opinion as facts. A separate report indicated O'Reilly was paid approximately $25 million in his separating from Fox.
O'Reilly reminds this writer of Trump. Both are highly paid, successful in their own right and both think they can do what ever they please. They were ditto heads during the Presidential campaign and O'Reilly often had Trump on his shows. It was always spin time to promote Trump. Television with out O'Reilly is the best thing that could happen to cable TV. The next best thing would be for the Fox News Network to just go away.
O'Reilly will be forgotten because his kind of reporting did not make a positive difference in people's lives and like Trump is thin skinned because he feels inadequate. That is where his bluster comes from. The number one spin zone is no more.
