.... That didn't take long, did it? Starting April 24th. O'Reilly returns with a new "No Spin News" in the form of a podcast .... for .... get this: only $49.95 per year!! I am sure he has a warehouse full of "No Spin" tchotchkes that he has to get rid of. I have to admit the guy has some "chutzpah" .... or a lot of ego / greed. Me .... I would have taken the $25,000,000.00 and be on autopilot for the rest of my life. See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4437542/Bill-O-Reilly-announces-return-podcast.html

Its a free country, if you don't like him, don't listen to him. By the way, I am not a fan, but you have to hand it to him, he created a lot of value for Fox, and "himself" I just don't get my undies in a bunch because someone has made himself/herself successful.

Problem is, it's not the money he's after, it's the ego feed. I reckon right now hes interested in bitch slapping the Murdock [bleep]. Hes not far enough to the right for my cup of whiskey, but I woulda turned off a lot of Dims who he educated to the point of not voting for Hillzry and many who did vote for Trump due to his revealing the stupidity of the progressive movement.

I was hoping President Trump would bypass the press and open Internet direct news presentation for the American people. I'm glad somebody with the name recognition has finally done this. While I'm not a big fan of O'Reilly, I might actually pay just in the hopes that It will keep it going bypassing the mainstream press.

And yet the man has never produced anything in his life but hot air. Same as that worthless, broke neck, lip flapper Krauthammer. Except for donating tens of millions to charity, and the majority of his charities are geared towards veterans and wounded soldiers. How many $15,000 track chairs have you purchased for Wounded Warriors? I'll give you some time to count them up and get back to me. Regardless if someone likes his personality or not, and he certainly has some personality flaws, the man has done a lot of good with his money and held a lot of politicians accountable over the years. His books about himself are garbage and his "history" books are an even bigger joke. Yeah that's why his recent history books alone have earned him 25 million, and his share of those proceeds which is 25 million, goes to charity. If you have knowledge that his are garbage then you should write the better one that is twice as good. 50 million would go a long ways. I'm not defending his flaws and downfalls, but I'm gonna give credit where credit is due.

Rappers earn a lot of money for what they do too, that doesn't mean their product is of any real value.

While I don't claim to know any rappers personally, unlike O'Reilly they strike me as being all about themselves. Anybody that donates the proceeds of numerous #1 bestsellers to charity with a large portion of that charity going to veterans and wounded warriors gets a level of respect from me..

Do you really believe that egomaniac who is clamoring to get back into the public eye donates all the profits from his hack history books to charity? Yeah, right. O'Reilly is a POS. This sexual harassment stuff goes back years. Google "Andrea Mackris" his former producer from many years ago, he used to call her and harass her on the phone while he beat himself off. Bill O'Reilly is a dirtbag and a loser. Ask the azzhole windbag about "heavy weapons" and how they should be licensed and regulated. I hate that loud-mouthed stupid prick.

[/quote] It's not about what I believe. It's about what is common sense about claims that have been made publicly by O'Reilly for years. Pretty sure CNN and MSNBC and the NY Times would've made that the top story every day for a month if they could've made O'Reilly a liar about claims of what his book proceeds went to. You don't think they ever turned over every stone looking into that??? Talk about a slow pitch right over the plate to take out their most hated rival. That would be easy pickings. With over 15 yrs of getting beat by the number one cable news show that was their polar opposite, they had plenty to dislike about him. But none of that matters. Personal dislike of someone will make you believe what you want. It is what it is.
