we know mr. o reilly s contract has been extended. fox extended it knowing that he had reached many of these settlements. the important thing is that two of them have been reached since mr. ailes left. fox knew about those settlements when they extended his contract recently. so the question is and a lot of people have asked me but fox hasn t answered why is mr. o reilly being treated differently than mr.il. fox would you say the cases that were brought in recent months against mr. o reilly which he settled have any merit and they ve been able to dismiss them. do you want to respond to that? it s been since 2014 with andrea and what she went through where it seemed clear she had recordings about what he wanted to do in the shower with her all the way until the present. in any other company, bill o reilly would be fired.
