Fox news and Hollywood, for shame!!
In an appearance on Fox News, Hollywood Reporter editor Matthew Belloni called out the network for renewing a contract with disgraced host Bill O’Reilly even though executives were aware he settled a sexual harassment lawsuit that was reportedly worth $32 million.
The New York Times first reported this week that “six months after Fox News ousted its chairman amid a sexual harassment scandal, the network’s top-rated host at the time, Bill O’Reilly, struck a $32 million agreement with a longtime network analyst to settle new sexual harassment allegations.”
“It was at least the sixth agreement — and by far the largest — made by either Mr. O’Reilly or the company to settle harassment allegations against him,” the paper added. “Despite that record, 21st Century Fox began contract negotiations with Mr. O’Reilly, and in February granted him a four-year extension that paid $25 million a year.”
Zurawik, however, suggested that O’Reilly’s days hosting television are over.
“I think he’s been pushed to the margins,” Zurawik explained. “Although, especially with conservative media in this country, I predict nothing. Nothing surprises me sometimes when I see — once you take your news platform and say, we’re a political tool or, like [Breitbart chief Steve Bannon], we’re a weapon. Nothing surprises me because I look at it through a lens of journalism.”
“I’ll tell you something about O’Reilly,” he continued. “I think he’s been marginalized in some ways that Glenn Beck has been marginalized. If he’s going to put his credibility up against The New York Times, he’s going to lose.”
Zurawik revealed that he had attended a stadium event headlined by O’Reilly and Dennis Miller on Sept. 22.
“I went to it at Royal Farms Arena because I wanted to see what kind of effect this had on his audience,” he recalled. “It seats either 11,000 or 14,000. They wouldn’t tell me how many they had reconfigured it for. If there were 2,500 people in that audience, it was surprising.”
That's the key: in power. Them with power control them without. Folks seek power for wealth and for such control, including (as they say) "access to sexual favors," consensual or otherwise. Can humans be trained or engineered to NOT seek power and all that goes with it?How about men in power? Regardless of political affiliations or their job, it’s old horny men.
Hey, single-sided double-density! Hard- or soft-sectors? My old SSSDHS Heathkit H17 drives stored a whole 91k each. Much better than audio cassettes for mass storage.SSDD

Can men be trained? No one is surprised by men who extract sexual favors. I find it amazing how the women don’t share any blame. Unless he raped you or you felt your life was threatened, you still agreed. Men keep doing it because women keep saying yes.
It does seem to be a path to riches. Especially when you can say yes and then sue.
