MSNBC: O'Reilly accuser returned to work, inconsistent with harassment

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

MSNBC rushing in to defend Bill O'Reilly.

Whoever the woman is that's filling in as host on "Lester Holt Live" just asked her guest if the accuser returning to work might not "undermine" her claim. The guest said "not necessarily" and did not allow herself to be led down that road.

1. Caution: You're about to enter a no-spin zone

2. She had to keep going back...

...so that she could record him saying all those charming and sexy things.

7. I can't stand O'Reilly, and am gonna wait til I hear that this

woman has him on tape; if she does, his career is over and good riddance, and if she doesn't, it's another he said/she said and the woman usually loses against a blowhard like him. After seeing her interviewed on the morning shows, I wasn't that impressed with her and definitely not impressed with her lawyer, but......we'll see.

10. He said/she said.

I look at it this way: either he did it or she's lying. Either way it's just another indication of the kind of lack of character it takes to work for FOX.

12. she has a witness to some of the allegations

O'Reilly was not too bright, he was hitting up two women at once at times, apparently in hopes of sparking a threeway.

3. because finding a job is really easy.

and no problem with health insurance..

4. that was my thought

if oreilly promised to leave her alone, and in this job market, it was worth the risk.

5. Blame the victim mentality makes me sick.

She has bills. She has to work to pay those bills. She is NOT in the wrong. Can anyone imagine how difficult it was for her to have to work under a boss who said the things O'Reilly said to her??? O'Reilly is in the wrong. Why is that so hard for people to understand.

6. She left Fox and went to CNN,

her boss there gets canned for sexual harrassment. She makes O'Reilly promise to keep it professional and she goes back.

These are the career options for her and it sucks. Perhaps part of the reason that cable news sucks so badly is that they spend all their time chasing each others tail.

8. Bullshit. Why should she forfeit her job because she's been harassed? nt

[Maddy McCall]

9. Exactly. Her job, her benefits, her future....

Anyone who suggests that she quit her job really needs to be educated on gender equity.

11. hello

knock knock until one has another good paying job it is advisable that you remain in the one you have no matter how unpleasant in order to pay the bills. The victim of the allledged sexual harassment needs to prove the charges and I think as I see it is very prepared to do so. There is mention of other women at Fox experiencing the same circumstances so look out this could get bigger than we think. If there are taped conversations of these things with her objecting to the Bill's words then he's finished and should be. For crying out loud why did he continue to do this to her?
