Bill O’Reilly gets amnesia, forgets he defended Roger Ailes and smeared his accusers

[kpete]

NBC also forgot that O’Reilly is also facing sexual harassment allegations

O’Reilly replied that he knows “nothing about the case,” never defended Ailes from the sexual harassment allegations and only said he “was a great boss.”

Bill O’Reilly is not telling the truth.

Back in July, a week after Carlson’s suit was filed, O’Reilly declared on NBC’s Late Show with Seth Myers that Ailes was the victim of a frivolous lawsuit. O’Reilly told Myers that “n this country, every famous, powerful or wealthy person is a target.”

He suggested that Carlson’s lawsuit against Ailes, which Fox News ended up settling for $20 million, was “a frivolous lawsuit.” He suggested that America adopt “the English system of civil law whereby if you file a frivolous lawsuit and you lose, the judge has a right to make you pay all court costs.”

He called the entire situation a product of an “out-of-control tabloid society that is tremendously destructive.”

“I stand behind Roger 100 percent,” he concluded.

1. He's a 1950s repressed and oppressing White male, DEEP in deep DENIAL.

Really what he calls being "traditional" in values means an isolation inside the cultural bubble he was incubated in, in his case Irish Catholicism. He has no reference outside his own culture toward understanding others. He is so hung up that he should not be in public life pontificating on social and political issues because he should be totally focused on fixing his own personal dysfunctions.

It took him a few years to "remember" his promise to "apologize to the nation" for drumbeating for the Iraq Attack if no WMD were found.
