Bill O'Reilly Rages at Reporters, Plays the Victim: 'This Is Bullsh*t!'

[DonViejo]

The New York Times reporters who effectively ended Bill O’Reilly’s career with a series of reports on his many settlements of sexual-harassment allegations had a chance to sit down with the ex-Fox News host over the weekend. Emily Steel and Michael E. Schmidt explained on Monday’s The Daily podcast that it was quite clear from the outset O’Reilly wasn’t interested in discussing as much as bullying. “Leaks are not facts. Leaks are designed to hurt people,” he told the reporters before trying to depict himself as a victim. “It’s been a horrendous experience,” O’Reilly said. “I’ve never had one complaint filed against me by a co-worker in any human-resources department in 43 years. That encompasses 12 different companies. So all of the sudden this stuff happens and the pain it brings to my children is indescribable.” As soon as the reporters shut off their official microphones following the interview (while their phones continued to record), O’Reilly lit up even more: “It’s horrible what I went through, horrible what my family went through,” he shouted. “This is crap. It’s politically and financially motivated. We can prove it with shocking information.” Without going into specifics, he declared, “We have physical proof that this is bullshit.” Steel and Schmidt reported on Saturday that Fox had extended O’Reilly’s contract even after he shelled out $32 million to former on-air contributor Lis Wiehl over allegations that included him sending pornographic material to her.

1. Thou doth protest too much, methinks

what a piece of shit.

[Tobin S.]

2. I'm sorry, Bill. Even if it was a take-down you richly deserved it

due to the damage you've done to our country. But I think there's a lot more truth to those allegations than you will ever acknowledge under any circumstances.

[MrScorpio]

3. Hes truly a clueless fuck

He refuses to understand what was wrong with what he did.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. He Has Proof Nothing Happened?

Really? How does one manage to prove nothing?

[oasis]

5. "indescribable pain to my children"

Gimme a break, you loudmouth bully.

[Sunlei]

9. Republicans propaganda fox TV number one "Drama Queen". Send him to your sister-TV-RT russia.

[Caliman73]

18. Seriously. His children don't even speak to him...

Since he tried to throw his daughter down the stairs, beat their mother, and then lost custody of them.

They probably knew what kind of asshole he was before anyone.

[Initech]

6. Ah the Take No Responsibility party at work!

[Sunlei]

7. Bill O'Reilly ever since you had exclusive interview /w Obama & questioned his BIRTH CERTIFICATE

you've been dead to me. Go ask your Massa Republican for help with your BULLSHIT, YOU CRYBABY

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

8. He's right! He is the victim. I knew that the moment I read his wife's neck

attacked his hand and attached itself to him leaving him no option but to drag her down the stairs.

[Sunlei]

10. O'Reilly attacked his wife & threw her down the stairs? No wonder,Republican Party pays him million

the stairs:

12. He's a violent abusive man. His poor kids SUFFER exposed to a Father like that. SHAME! foxRepubTV!

[smirkymonkey]

14. The only thing that is causing his family pain is HIM!

Not the media, not the accusers. It is all him and just like most typical republican men he will never take responsibility and continue to point the finger at others and whine about what poor victim he is. I am so sick of these disgusting, immature men. Take them all down!

[Oneironaut]

13. What makes this the juiciest is how he put on a fake Mr. Rogers persona his entire career.

He would also lecture people about being immoral. Words that come to mind are “hypocrite” and “fraud.”

[dalton99a]

15. Yes, it is bullshit

[AmandaRuth]

16. So it's working

Keep it up.

[ck4829]

17. "We'll do it live!"

[Nevernose]

19. The damage to his kids?

Besides the women he’s had to pay, and besides the allegations of verbal & domestic violence against his wife, here’s what the appellate court judge says about his kids and their opinion of dad:

...there is a sound and substantial basis for the Supreme Court’s determination that it is in the best interests of the children for the mother to be awarded primary residential custody. Particularly relevant in this case are the clearly stated preferences of the children, especially considering their age and maturity...

Bill? They’ve always thought you were an asshole. The NYT has nothing to do with it.

[lindysalsagal]

20. It makes me happy to hear how angry and miserable he is.

Does that make me a bad person???

Hell, I don't care if it does.
