How Bill O’Reilly Tried to Get Wife’s Boyfriend Investigated

30 Aug 2011 17:50 #1 by Wayne Harrison

Last summer, Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly came to believe that his wife was romantically involved with another man. Not just any man, but a police detective in the Long Island community they call home. So O'Reilly did what any concerned husband would do: He pulled strings to get the police department's internal affairs unit to investigate one of their own for messing with the wrong man's lady.

Fox Fires Back at Gawker
Dismisses, but doesn't deny, story about Bill O'Reilly

“Gawker has been lying about Fox News for several years,” a Fox spokesperson told Adweek when reached for comment about the story. “We are not going to dignify this with any further comment.”

In the past week—before the Gawker story posted—FoxNews.com and morning show Fox & Friends reported that Gawker’s traffic had dropped 75 percent in the last year. (As Forbes' Jeff Bercovici pointed out, though, Fox had gotten its numbers wrong. The figures, from Compete.com, actually showed Gawker's traffic down 37 percent year-over-year. And Quantcast, another service that tracks Web traffic, shows a slight uptick in Gawker visitors year-over-year). On TV, Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy described Gawker as having been “mildly popular” at one point, and, as Politico notes, the Fox website listed Gawker as No. 1 on its list of "Formerly Popular Sites That Are Dead or Dying." Those stories prompted Gawker to allege that Fox was preemptively bashing the site because the channel knew Cook was working on a negative piece.

His show is the most popular program on Fox News. The RERUN of his show is the 8th most popular show on Fox News.

The falafel sponge industry owes its livelihood to Mr. O'Reilly.

I am gawking over the bias stories at Gawker. Who funds Gawker?

Why not gawking at the bias stories on Fox and ask who funds Fox?

And Fox is a mainstream news website, but I don't see you asking why they're heavily slanted.

People never complain about bias when the bias is the way they like it.

Advertizing dollars fund Fox.

Interesting story if it is true, didn't O'Reilly once get into trouble for sexual harrasment?

Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

Yes, hence my reference to falafel sponges.

At least he's not an elected official...so it really doesn't matter, his ratings will still crush every other talking head on the left.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
