Bill O’Reilly prides his program, The O’Reilly Factor, on being a ‘no spin zone’ despite his perpetual spinning of stories. Recently there was a segment on the program deriding Cop Block. O’Reilly went so low as to bring up the irrelevant arrest history of one of Cop Block’s founders. Since O’Reilly saw fit to dredge up ancient history
it is only fair to remind the gentle reader about O’Reilly’s past;
specifically the sexual scandal of 2004. Shall we count the ways?
On October 13, 2004 O’Reilly was sued in a sexual harassment lawsuit for $60,000,000 by his former producer named Andrea Mackris. Mackris was an employee of Fox from 2000, with lawsuit documents showing O’Reilly’s rabid sexual harassment began in May 2002 and continued until September 2004. Mackris filed a wild document
full of O’Reilly’s exploits. The fallout was immense, with
O’Reilly counter-suing Mackris for extortion before finally settling the
lawsuit for an untold amount of money that is generally believed to
have been in the millions of dollars. I suppose that I could stop there
with the story, but what fun would that be?
