have offended our swine friends by "factoring in" and comparing them to "Mr. O-Really Now!"

BTW - nice hindsight!

Either the older I get, the funnier you are or the older you get, the funnier you are.

You must keep yourself up night thinking and laughing and thinking and laughing. Your life must be just one steady stream of fun.

Thank you for another good laugh this morning!

"Bill O'Reilly Will be Paid Tens of Nillions of Dollars on His Way Out of Fox News"
by Brian Stelter
"CNN Money"
20 April 2017

"'It is a staggering amount,' said a source personally involved in the exit maneuverings.

"21st Century Fox and O'Reilly's representatives will not acknowledge the existence of a payout. A confidentiality agreement limits what the two sides can say.
But two well-placed sources confirmed to CNNMoney that O'Reilly does have a parachute. That's because O'Reilly signed a new contract right before being ousted.

"The two sources, who spoke independently of one another, said the new contract was worth about $25 million per year.
(Previous news reports have pegged O'Reilly's past contract at $18 to $20 million a year.)

"O'Reilly commanded a higher sum for obvious reasons: he dominated the ratings and helped Fox News deliver record profits for its parent company.

"The two sources also said the contract extended through the next presidential election, meaning it was set to expire either at the end of 2020 or sometime in 2021.

"However, O'Reilly will not be paid the entire amount he was owed, one of the sources said.

"Fox incorporated language in the new contract that gave the network some 'outs.'

"Roger Ailes, on the other hand, was paid the entire remainder of his contract when he resigned under pressure last summer. Ailes, the founding CEO of Fox News, was accused of harassment by Fox employees.

"Ailes was paid more than $40 million on the way out. He recently
bought a $36 million oceanfront home in Florida.

"As for O'Reilly, the sources declined to say exactly how much money he will receive. But regulatory filings may drop some hints in the coming months.

"The Washington Post reported that the new deal was signed in March — just weeks before The New York Times' investigation into O'Reilly was published on April 1.

"The Murdochs knew that the Times story was in the works, and that's why 'outs' were added to the contract. But the Murdochs underestimated just how severe the fallout would be, one of the sources said.

"Dozens of advertisers abandoned the "O'Reilly Factor" and other women came forward with new accusations of harassment.
When Ailes was sued, Fox asked the law firm Paul, Weiss to conduct an internal investigation. Precisely two weeks later,
Ailes resigned.

"This month, the timeline repeated itself. When O'Reilly accuser Wendy Walsh and her attorney Lisa Bloom called Fox's hotline on April 5, the Murdochs put Paul, Weiss on the case. The results of the internal probe were not shared publicly on Wednesday, but it apparently influenced the Murdochs' decision. Exactly two weeks later, O'Reilly was dismissed.

"At an event in New York on Wednesday night, James Murdoch, the company's CEO, was asked by a New York Times reporter about the abrupt exit.

"Murdoch said 'we did a thorough investigation, a thorough review, and we reached a conclusion. Everything that we said in our statement is all you need to know.'

"O'Reilly issued a statement that reaffirmed his innocence, saying 'it is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today.'"

This pattern of people doing wrong and then receiving retirement with a huge golden parachute instead of going to jail is starting to chap my chaps.

Poor old lonesome Bill.

All that loot can't buy him love.

Dan Flynn discusses how only "babes" seem to work their way to camera time on cable news. Sure, ya gotta have brains, polish, and broadcast savvy, but if you don't look good in a short skirt, fahgetaboutit.

Note the position of camera angle on the accompaying photo.

I missread that as 'oinker boinker' which, of course, is a title copyrighted to David Cameron

Especially since you misspelled "misread."

I hope this helps serve to clear up any "missunderstanding" on your part. :-)

hahahahah!

Love that! Love the flies!

Steve have you heard anything on the wire about who may be next on the Murdock chopping block.

My money's on Hannity.

Sound the trump that a new day has come and the tea party's over boo hoo.

Notcher grandpappy's GOP is it?

Fox has kept the truth concealed from shareholders about the sextortion payola and Rupert could yet get his tit in a wringer, no?

Speaking of chaps you know Bill will get his in the end when he winds up in hell wearing only assless chaps.

Just so that you'll never make that mistake again:

The phrase is the last refuge of an obsolete meaning of desert—namely, something that is deserved or merited. But because most modern English speakers are unfamiliar with that old sense of desert, the phrase is often understandably written just desserts.

Thank you!!

I personally think Jerry Hall is behind all of this. Had enough of this nonsense with Sir Mick.

A massive payout to reward his misogyny and sexism.

Well, if that isn't "the most ridiculous item of the day", finally usurping Bill himself as the most ridiculous.
