This thread.
I'm absolutely stunned that Bill didn't put up more of a fight. He totally surrendered. He is so loud and pugnacious, yet he didn't even try to go to war over this. Did he even mention it on his show? He used to mention every other controversy when he was in the news.
Bill is a hero! He saved a life!

He also denied the impact of sexism in politics by positing that because “most voters are women [...] So, if women were so anxious to have women in Congress, and there were so many great female candidates running, then why wouldn't Congress be 52 percent female?” [MSNBC, Tucker, 11/6/07 [5]]
Carlson Defended ESPN Analysts Who Made Comments About A Woman’s Outfit Claiming His Comments Were Not Sexual Harassment Because “Sexual Harassment By Definition Takes Place In Private.” On the February 24, 2010, edition of Fox News’ Hannity, Carlson disagreed with the suspension of an ESPN analyst over sexist comments about a woman’s outfit because “sexual harassment by definition takes place in private,” and since the analyst made his comments publicly, he was only being punished “for the sins of others.” [Fox News, Hannity, 2/24/10 via Nexis]

Great response. Whiny little self-righteous . "Appalling?"
And with such an ironic name, too…Spitalnick? Ironic because you just know she has extreme -fright; no chance has this girl ever had a pearl necklace. Spoogeneck? I don't think so. More like LabiaFace.

Dear Amy,
Thanks for your email. You believe our story was inaccurate and have demanded a correction. Totally fair. We are going over the transcript now.
What Bedford complained about was your tone, which, I have to agree, was whiny and annoying, and I say that in the spirit of helpful correction rather than as a criticism. Outside of New York City, adults generally write polite, cheerful emails to one another, even when asking for corrections. Something to keep in mind the next time you communicate with people who don't live on your island.
Best,
Tucker Carlson [BuzzFeed, 3/25/15 [10]]

Carlson: Women’s Day Protests Were “Obviously An Attack On White Men.” On the March 8 edition of his Fox show, Carlson made “A Day Without A Woman” protests all about men, complaining that the protest’s message was that “if the business is owned by a white man, you can’t shop there.” Carlson used his thought to dismiss the protests as “obviously an attack on white men”:
JULIE ALVIN: I mean, I think that protest and strikes historically have been away to show the impact that people have on certain work places, on certain environments, by being absent. And by showing, you know, if you're not going to devalue me as much as you should, if you're not going to pay me equally, if you're not going to, you know, protect me from sexual harassment in the workplace. If you're not going to offer me paid leave, you know, this is what it would be like. If I did not participate in this economy in general. And sometimes the greatest way to show impact is to show absence. And I think that this is actually more effective than you're giving it credit for and, you know, strikes historically have been enormously effective in showing the value of the people who are striking.
TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Yes. I mean, some have, some haven't. But the ones that have a very specific set of demands tend to succeed in the ones that are more fist tend not to succeed. So, I went to the website, Day Without A Woman to try to figure out what this is about. And one of the things I learned is that you're supposed to avoid shopping except at women and minority owned businesses. In other words, if the businesses owned by a white man, you can't shop there, you shouldn't shop there, why the hostility towards white men, what did they have towards white men exactly?
ALVIN: Well, I don't think that it's necessarily hostility towards white men, I think it's about being supportive towards women and towards minorities, who are historically disenfranchised in this country who are paid less, who are not treated it as well in the workforce, who don't have, you know, stability in the workforce. So, I don't think this is about punishing white men, I think it's about supporting women and people of color.
CARLSON: Well, sure. If you're boycotting white men it's obviously an attack on white men but that's not true actually. So, if you look at household median income, the top three slots are not white men, they're all people of color. I think the number one is Indians, and number two is Taiwanese, and the third is I think Filipino. So, actually white men are not making the most money in this country. I don't know if you've checked the numbers, it's a little bit weird to say boycott white male owned businesses when they're not the most successful, what is that about?

Bill O’Reilly ruined the news: 10 ways he and Fox News harassed us all
While there is much-needed and valuable attention now being paid to their predatory sexism, that behavior was only one part of a much larger diabolical worldview. Ailes and O’Reilly were of a piece, cut from the same cloth. Ailes launched O’Reilly’s career and framed him as one of Fox News’ signature stars from the outset.
O’Reilly’s at ude toward women was directly connected to his at ude about our nation in general. It was a caustic, aggressive, egotistical, bullying mentality that infected O’Reilly’s fans and brainwashed them from being able to see the truth.
The point is that allegations of O’Reilly’s sexism, misogyny and predatory behavior are literally the tip of the iceberg. Without question O’Reilly’s show single-handedly changed the news landscape. Here are 10 reasons why he may be leaving Fox News, but his impact will be felt for years to come:
1. Punditry over journalism
2. Fake news
3. Polarization
4. Mainstreaming of misogyny, racism and bigotry
5. Fear over reason
6. Loyal viewers
7. Dumbing down viewers
8. Hubris disguised as patriotism
9. Crying victim while bullying
10. Making it all “an act”
This all goes to show that the real O’Reilly factor will likely be that his influence outlasts his role on the show.
He was a master at changing public perceptions and blaming his victims.
We now see victim blaming taking place across the news spectrum.
Finger-pointing is consistently aimed in the wrong direction, at comedians and millennials and even the Black Lives Matter movement.
With any luck, recent events can keep the fingers pointed straight at O’Reilly and his supporters, where they belong.

As with Repugs in general, Repugs' TV channel s up America and Americans.
‘She’s the devil’:
(white male supremacist/misogynist) Steve Bannon warned Roger Ailes that Megyn Kelly would ‘turn on’ him
the relationship between the two companies “began to sour” over former Fox News star Megyn Kelly.
“The big rift between Breitbart and Fox was all over Megyn Kelly. She was all over Trump nonstop,” Bannon explained in an interview. He also said he told Ailes that Kelly was untrustworthy.
“I told him then, I said, ‘She’s the devil, and she will turn on you,” Bannon said.
Kelly drew the ire of then-candidate Trump during the 2016 presidential election, when she asked him about his treatment of women during a August 2015 Republican.
“You’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals,” Kelly said to Trump. That question ignited a feud that continued for over a year.
He later described the moment in an apparent reference to Kelly’s menstrual cycle, saying she “had blood coming out her eyes” when she asked the question.
Ailes resigned with a reported $60 million payout.

Only saying he needed to retire because he's almost 70. The dude needs to move on so a new guy can secure the company's future in the 8pm spot. I don't watch Tucker or fox usually, but he's really popular lately.

Another FOX Correspondent Just Got Caught In A Sexual Harassment Scandal
From 2013 to 2015, a married female political analyst who appeared regularly on FOX News and FOX Business Network (FBN) engaged in an extramarital affair with Making Money host Charles Payne, who is also married with children.
After she broke off the affair, the woman says she was blackballed by both Payne and 21st Century Fox from appearing on the networks.

Costs for Fox’s Harassment Settlements Rise to $50 Million
Twenty-First Century Fox said Monday that it had incurred about $50 million in costs during the year that ended June 30 tied to the settlement of sexual harassment and discrimination allegations in its Fox News division.
That figure, disclosed in a regulatory filing, does not include the payouts made to the men ousted amid the scandal.
Roger Ailes, the network’s founding chairman, received a $40 million package when he left, and
Bill O’Reilly, the former top-rated host, received a payout of about $25 million.
In the filing, the company said it had
$224 million in costs during the fiscal year related to “management and employee transitions and restructuring”
at several of its business units, including the cable network group that houses Fox News.

They need to tell their female hosts to not dress like s.
From a guy's perspective one can easily understand why they get hit on so much on air and off.
Do you really think it's their decision how they dress?
