Eric Bolling: 'Beyond Inappropriate' For O'Reilly To Mention My Son's Death

Former Fox News Host Eric Bolling said it was “beyond inappropriate” for his former colleague, Bill O’Reilly, to have told New York Times reporters that his son had died as a result of reporting about him.

O’Reilly brought up the death of Bolling’s son, which occurred hours after Fox News announced Bolling was leaving the network following sexual harassment allegations, in an interview with the New York Times on Wednesday. The Times published audio clips of the interview on Monday in its “The Daily” podcast.

“I urge you to think about what you put in your newspaper. Eric Bolling’s son is dead,” O’Reilly told the Times reporters interviewing him. “He’s dead because of allegations made — in my opinion and I know this to be true — against Mr. Bolling.”

In a statement to the Times’ Emily Steel, Bolling said “I believe it is beyond inappropriate for anyone to bring in the tragic death of my son Eric Chase Bolling.”

5. BOTH of them are pieces of ...

SHIT.

We know Billo's a racist, a woman beater per his daughter and wife's testimony, and a Major League sexual harasser. But Boiling kept talking about that bogus ass Hillary murdered Seth Rich LIE, and Rich's exasperated parents BEGGED FauXXX to stop and they (Boiling) kept on with that LIE, so I have NO pity for either of these POS.

8. Yes it was inappropriate for Bill O to talk that way

But this is the standard of “journalism” that you and your colleagues created at Faux and other right-wing propaganda organs, so my sympathy is limited.

You see, Eric, there’s a saying out where some people actually DO read their Bibles and other religious texts, and pray for the will and guidance to live righteously and do right. It’s very simple, easy to remember. It’s “What goes around, comes around.”

Many of us non-reactionaries think that some of what you’ve been spreading has come home to Poppa.

9. "in my opinion and I know this to be true"

( For fans of "Are You Being Served?" )

Is it just me, or did other people also hear, "and I am unanimous in this" when reading that line?
