O'Reilly Factored

There is no love lost between Drudge and O'Reilly and sure enough Drudge was among the first to report the story about a sexual harrassment lawsuit filed against O'Reilly. It is hard to figure out who is telling the truth in these cases.

I remember watching his program and listen to him make references to his younger days and his pursuit of women. Nothing graphic, but just little hints here and there while he told a story to make a point. I used to wonder then if he had a raunchy side to him. This story makes me wonder more. Although to be fair, someone who did what he is accused of will usually leave a long trail. If more women come out and accuse him, then it will be hard not to believe the womans story. If not, then you have to question the young lady's motive.

Then again, O'Reilly and Fox did try to reach a settlement. This makes you wonder if the story has legs and Fox/O'Reilly worried. On the flip side, the woman was asking for $60 million to settle, which is a lot of money and makes you wonder if she is doing this only for the money.

O'Reilly is trying to settle this out of court. So I guess he did what he is accused of and now just wants to get out of the mess the best way possible. The settlement according to MSNBC will call for any tapes that exist to be destroyed.

I hope he tempers his "I know it all and you are wrong" attitude. But a year from now, everyone will have forgotten about this and this guy will be back to his ranting best.
