In summary, a Fox News Channel producer has sued Bill O'Reilly for sexual harassment, claiming he had non-consensual phone sex with her on three occasions. Fox has filed a countersuit, accusing the producer of attempting to extort money for political gain. Some people believe this is a publicity stunt, while others believe there may be truth to the allegations. However, it is not uncommon for public figures who preach morals to engage in immoral behavior. In the past, O'Reilly has admitted to visiting strip clubs regularly.

No surprise...

I heard Jenna Jameson say that after she was on the O'Reilly Factor and he was arguing how evil/immoral porn was, that he asked her for some of her videos. All those "Holier-Than-Thou" guys are really scumbag deviants on the inside.

I'm not jumping to any conclusions yet...perhaps you shouldn't too. It's still a little early to tell whether or not he's being scammed.

Wait and watch...

I wouldn't doubt it's a publicity stunt. However, if it is just a publicity stunt, I wouldn't doubt simmilar, or even worse things, had truly happened. I also wouldn't doubt that it's totally true.

Honestly, do you think any of these guys who make money preaching morals and what's right and wrong really follow their own strict rules? Priests rape little boys, Communists who preach equality and the fair treatment of the working class subjugate whole countries into slavery, and right-wing talking heads are deviants.

You just know that one day Sean Hannity will find some 13 year old girl with blue hair, a beret and a Che shirt and just kick her ass brutally.

O'Reilly himself is quick to jump to conclusions, why shouldn't we give him a taste of his own medicine?

He is a big perv, but by no means does Bill deny it. He has said on his show that he goes to the strip club on a regular basis.
