This is the second sexual harassment suit he’s settled, right? IIRC, he was also one of the first out front defending Ailes and calling Gretchen Carlson a liar. Meanwhile, he’s settling his own suit. The audacity of this piece of shit is astounding.

“The letter contains substantial falsehoods, which both men have vehemently denied," Fox spokeswoman Irena Briganti told the Times.

Hmmm. “Vehement” denial equals six figure settlement with cash grant. “Denial” alone would have meant a 7-8 figure cash grant for silence.

If it did not happen, there would have been no settlement. Nice try, Fox spokeswoman Irena Briganti. You have a future to follow in Kellyanne’s footsteps.

To be fair, O’Reilly is both creepy and untrustworthy about what he writes and reports. Embellishment and lying about his presence at news events is kinda like plagiarism.

Prisons are full of folks that proclaimed their innocence. IMHO O’Reilly is just a garden variety pervert.
