b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly said he should have fought back harder
against critics while at the network and praised Sean Hannity for how he
handled a similar situation last month.
"Hannity actually fought back," O'Reilly told Newsmax host John Bachman. "I
didn't. I should have. For reasons that I cannot explain now, I did not."
O'Reilly was ousted from Fox News on April 19 amid sexual harassment claims.
Fellow conservative Hannity was under fire recently for covering a
conspiracy theory around murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich, leading the left-
wing Media Matters to publish a list of his advertisers on its Twitter feed.
A few advertisers bailed on the program, including military services firm
USAA.
But a public outcry followed. Hannity pushed back publicly against what he
called "liberal fascism" and forced USAA to reverse its decision and
reinstate ads back on the program.
“We heard concerns from many members who watch and listen to these programs
,” USAA spokesman Roger Wildermuth told The Washington Times. “Our goal in
advertising has always been to reach members of the military community who
would benefit from USAA’s well-known commitment to service. Today, the
lines between news and editorial are increasingly blurred.”
“Hannity knows they’re looking to get him, but I admire Sean and how he
handled the situation," said O'Reilly, who now hosts a podcast on
BillOReilly.com called "No Spin News" Monday through Thursday.
"He brought it directly to the folks, and the sponsors stopped. He lost a
few but they stopped so he was successful in fighting off the attack but
there will be more," O'Reilly predicted.
O'Reilly lost more than 50 advertisers after a New York Times story on April
1 reported he paid five women $13 million in payouts over allegations of
sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior.
Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy has publicly said he is interested in bringing O'
Reilly onto his network, which launched in 2014.
"I may come back to television, it just depends," O'Reilly said. "We're
living in a pretty vicious age now. Whoever I work for is going to have to
have a lot of courage to stop the far left from attacking sponsors and
spreading lies about people."
Sinclair, Glenn Beck's Blaze TV and One America News are also seen as
possibilities for O'Reilly's possible return. | r**********f 发帖数: 2808 | 2 O'Reilly应该fight back。 左逼没脸没皮,死缠烂打,祸国殃民。 O'Reilly也得脸皮

Hannity自己说了,税务局今年查他三次了,他交的税比该交的还多,根本不怕查。 | T**********e 发帖数: 29576 | 4 床铺早跟他说不能settle,越settle提告的女人越多 |
