The only way O'Reilly can be seriously damaged is if more allegations about his statements come forward from sources other than partisan organizations, said Joe Muto, a former O'Reilly producer fired by Fox after he began writing an anonymous blog as the "Fox mole."

"Ultimately, he'll survive this because he's not held -- by his bosses, or the public, or himself -- to the same standards of truth-telling as Brian Williams is," Muto said. "People expect a certain degree of hyperbole and exaggeration from O'Reilly. It's baked into the job description. It's part of his persona."

1. In other words . . .

He'll get away with it because no one really expects any better of him.

Not how I'd want to live my life, but okay.

4. This is his boss saying lying is a part of his job, now this gives me as much confidence in

O'Reilly as I have in Greenwald. Read it, listen to it but don't believe it.

5. As long as O'Lielly is associated with Faux Snooze he'll get a free pass.

And he'll be associated with Faux forever.
