Bill O'Reilly, the 10 Million dollar man
By John Amato Saturday Oct 25, 2008 10:00am
But he's just one of the folks, right?
Bill O'Reilly has re-upped with Fox News Channel in a multiyear deal that pays him about $10 million a year to host his top-rated news program, "The O'Reilly Factor."
O'Reilly took a shot at his detractors, saying that if he retired, "I know my friends in the elite media would miss me greatly." Meanwhile, Fox News Channel has been locking up many of its key stars, including O'Reilly, Sean Hannity (who re-signed recently) and anchor Shepard Smith, as well as luring CNN Headline News host Glenn Beck to anchor a 5 p.m. program.
No wonder he hates Obama's economic plan. And no wonder he settled very quickly with Andrea Mackris.
O'Reilly: I have something very important to tell you. All litigation has ceased that has made me the object of media scorn from coast to coast. On a personal note, this matter has caused enormous pain, but I had to protect my family and I did....This brutal ordeal is now over and I will never speak of it again.

How can such little educated people be considered so valuable?
He wasn't even successful in Inside Edition (?) which is a joke of a show itself.
Nothing succeeds in Rightwingia like ignorance and fear.
Billo's ratings are slumping. What does Rupert plan to do when the people catch on and Billo really tanks? Ask for his money back?
I was thinking the same thing. We'll see if people who have been sticking with him for the last 8 years will actually catch on.
Morons don't catch on, slow on the uptake you know. I worked with a woman, master's degree etc, loved Mr. Loofa, thought he was sexy and funny. Morons grow up, get degrees then run businesses and governments, with ease.
There is no cure for republican stupid! Not even the catstrophy known as George W. Bush has dampened their enthusiasm.
Maybe if we offered tax cuts to republican's not to breed......?
Could work, as long as it's wrapped in an "anti-socialist" tax cut.
I dunno if I wanna picture billo in a tank-top.
Would he have,like, a really bushy mustache and body piercings?

I bet we will be bailing out News Corp one of these days.
into the ratings stratosphere...
All the rabid Rightards drawn out from under their rocks and out of their comfortable cess-pools will need sustenance.
That's the reason Faus is beefing up its "personnel."
Their fan base will feel alienated and cling to their O'Reilly's and Hannity's. The hate has to be fed continuously with these people.
I live outside of Philly, so it sounds like, in the near future at 5:00 p.m., I'm going to have to make a crucial decision: Glenn Beck on Fox - or, Dr. Phil on CBS??!!
As for Bill Orally in a tank top >>>> just, EWw--wwww-www..
Brief deviation, but has anyone seen http://palinaspresident.us/ ?
Its a flash site with a bunch of clickables. One of my classmates showed this to me. Its funny, but the sad thing is I doubt it'd be far from the truth.
On a completely unrelated note, no one cares about BillO.
Have you heard? Sarah is now going rogue on the campaign, not listening to her handlers and blaming them for the problems with her "rollout." (Never mind that she must love the makeup artist and swanky elitist clothes.) She is being perceived as a diva by the McCain camp. Just can't wait to see all the fingers pointing starting Nov. 5. She sees herself as the future leader of the GOP. Stay tuned for imminent implosion, and not in the Oval Office.
As for BillO, the less said about him, the better. Keith O went on about his declining ratings (with KO's getting better all the time), so fewer people are drinking the Faux Kool-Aid in the evening.
I can rant incoherently regarding issues of which I know nothing. I can make up stories.
I'll bet that I could even sexually harass women if I put my mind to it.
And I was expelled from high school!
I'll do Billo's job for just $5 million!
Look out billo
Look who's ginnin' fer ya!!!

That was the last time I ever watched the "No-spin" hypocrite. Yeah O'Rally, why ya' hiding under your desk I thought. Jerk!
I turned the channel, and deleted Fox from my cable finder a couple of days later. Now I won't have to look at Beck's dry-drunk fascist face anymore either.
I hope all these scumbags go to Fox. With the Faux news channel blocked out, I'll never have to see any of their faces again.
I hape they bring back 94% tax rates on filth like him, and make it retroactive!
Manson is FOX NEWS Greatest Fan. They WANT A RACE WAR... NAZI,FOX I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE!!!
These guys are going to be ten times worse after Obama wins. Rupert has had years of experience manipulating the political system in Australia.
Pray News Corps goes down the toilet.
So if Faux News isn't part of the elite media, does that make it part of the dreggy media then?

Bush Orders DOJ to Probe Ohio Voter Registrations

oh, no wait a minute...
in 2004 Bush did NOT ask the US Attorney General to look into the REAL VOTER SUPPRESSION that he and his folks were committing.
And, John Boehner is just about the sleaziest piece of crap, even for a Repug!!
European friends have such a hard time believing that extremists like O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Beck, etc are actually popular in the US that I frequently have to point to ratings figures to prove it to them. And they're really disheartened when they see that O'Reilly and Limbaugh are at times top rated in their time slots. They say that in Europe such people would not be allowed to get anywhere near broadcast media, not because of heavy-handed government censorship, but because the public is strongly opposed to such ignorant, inflammatory rhetoric being broadcast to mass audiences.
Let's hope Americans can learn to live up to high standards like the Europeans do under an Obama administration.
Have you ever seen 'Idiocracy'. It has become more of a documentary than a comedy film.
/scary
We can hope, but right-wing programs like O'Reilly's only got more virulent during the Clinton years (after coming into being on a mass scale in the early 90s following Reagan's 1987 rescinding of the Fairness Doctrine). I suspect it'll be the same and maybe worse with an Obama presidency.
The corruption and abuse of power continues.

Self pity time. And "he" will never speak of this again? Oh please! I don't think the rest of the real world is ready to let this egotistical son-of-a-bitch off the hook quite that easy.
I thought this whole "horny boy" thing was over a long time ago, when he paid her off and gagged her not to speak of it again for a few measely million.
What an ass wipe.
colbert, maher, stewart, moore have to mock on a daily basis if these wingnuts don't get resigned.
I am not comparing Shrill O'Reilly to Adolf Hitler by saying this, but O'Reilly is as much a "man of the people" as Hitler was.
Both made the phony claim to "speak for the common man" while actually raking in millions personally from people buying into their hate speech. Such opportunism is no better than war profiteers.
Indeed BillO,
When you stated that, We should believe everything we hear in the media".
The starting point has always been FOX and its toadies.
So I take BillO's advice earnestly not to believe FOX media for pretty much anything. They even get the weather wrong. Their Cavuto business(market) is just a promo for the GOP. Maybe Repub Representative Bachmann in Minn. should make the call to have FOX investigated to see if they are pro corporations and anti American? America
Morton Downey Jr. would be proud.
$10 million a year?!
It's very discouraging that there are enough stupid Americans around that someone like Bill O'Reilly can command such a salary!
I know it won't happen, but it would be so delectable if the Fairness Doctrine was reinstated under an Obama administration.
The point is that Obama winning is just the beginning of a long slog to reclaim America.
Ideological thugs like O'Reilly, Hannity, and Beck won't go away until we renounce their kind of 'journalism' and get America thinking critically, instead of this dumbed-down spoon-fed crap that only promotes evangelical Jesus-think.
that such a waste of a human being could command such a salary when the folks that teach my kids in school can bearly keep up. Therein lies the shame of such a disjointed value system
Ten million to Bill? He got them to fork over ten mill a year?
How stupid is Fox?
I mean, where the hell else would he go? Who would hire him, much less pay him ten mill a year.
The great Murdoch got snookered here, throwing away good money, fearing that Bill would leave for greener pastures.
Let them have him.
man. Billo despises the very people whose approbation he is constantly seeking and falsely claiming to have achieved. Show us your Pulitzer Billo.
If anything, Fox News is the worst news company ever.
If you watch it your brain dwindles in intelligence……
Fox News is just another phony media outlet that's more concern with shock than serious commentary. If you want to be filled to the brim with state propaganda as being informed, knock yourself out . Fox is basically old, white, republican males. If you place any value whatsoever on honesty and integrity, you wouldn't be able to stomach even 30 seconds of it.
What FAUX news reminds me of is one of those infomercials where they're posing like news interviewer and interviewee for Zsa Zsa liquid mustache remover.
Money, that's a lot of money Billo, you complained on air once about having to pay so much for security. Eight body guards plus more. You just keep your money, I can walk outside in the fall air,alone, go where I want without body guards. I feel sorry for what you have done to your family. You have traded your and their freedom for money. Have a nice day, I KNOW I will. Well, time to go get a burger,anywhere I want,alone,or with friends. Something you and your family can never do.
such a huge lying asshole!
When the economy flushes us all down the toilet like a buncha corn-riddled turds, and the working class folks who disproportionately watch Fox News can no longer afford to buy the products that pay for the ads that pay these high-priced corporate shills, is Fox still going to be rich enough to pay these assholes that much money?
Lord, I hope not.
What the hell is this Bozo talking about?
"and I will never speak of it again"
don't worry I will keep reminding you.
"Bill O'Reilly has re-upped with Fox News Channel in a multiyear deal that pays him about $10 million a year to host his top-rated news program, "The O'Reilly Factor."
Damn, just when I thought this turd was circling the toilet, the Fox commode spews him back out again.
Somebody call Joe The Alleged Plumber and make this P.O.S go back to his home in the sewers.
