"There is a strong movement in America to remove any kind of value-based argument. We see this all the time.... Public officials have the right to lie about sex because it is no one's business what they do in private, even if sexual harassment suits are lodged against them, i.e., President Clinton, or even if a young girl disappears shortly after talking with a congressman she was intimate with. Hello, Gary Condit. Many Americans simply cannot or will not make judgments about behavior. And this is a tremendous change in our society. The danger here is that the absence of value-based judgments breaks down justice and discipline."

"Are you aware that in every newscaster's contract, there's a moral clause that says, if you embarrass the station publicly in any way, they can let you go.... Once you go public and do something like that, although it's not illegal, it embarrasses your employer because your employer operates on credibility."

"I have to explain to the audience that there is no sex allowed at Fox on the job. We can't have sex here at Fox. But MSNBC apparently have lots of sex over there, which is why we beat them in the ratings. Because as we're working to give you programs, they're all having sex."

When one guest-- a human resources expert-- expressed skepticism about how widespread workplace sex could be, O'Reilly responded:

"You know, I do know some people who do that. And here's why they do it. It's a sense of danger. And a lot of people like that danger element in sex. So they want to have sex and maybe they'll get caught. And that kind of heightens their -- whatever." READ ON
