new york times report about bill o reilly was already known, including the most devastating case against him from 2004 which included transcripts of phone calls bill o reilly made to a fox news employee. the woman receiving those calls said it sounded as if bill o reilly was doing something other than just talking on the phone when he was telling her about all of the sexual things he wanted to do to her. those phone calls cost fox news $9 million. and they occurred 13 years ago. fox news knew everything it needed to know to fire bill o reilly 13 years ago. and they didn t do it. because it wasn t in the value system of fo news, and bill o reilly was their big star making more than any other host on fox news with bigger ratings than anyone else on fox news. we now know the man running fox news roger ailes was at least as bad as bill o reilly and possibly much, much worse.
