Full Version: Bill O'Reilly a Serial Killer?
Outsports Discussion Board > Outsports > Politics & Religion
MIB
Interesting fact: Bill O'Reilly wrote a revenge-fantasy novel in which a serial killer (and the cop who pursued him) was based on O'Reilly himself. The killer just so happens to have had the same career, more or less, as O'Reilly and he kills fictionalized versions of all the people who wronged the real-life O'Reilly. From the New Yorker:

QUOTE

In 1998, after the launch of “The O’Reilly Factor,” but before superstardom, he published a thriller called “Those Who Trespass,” which is his most ambitious and deeply felt piece of writing. “Those Who Trespass” is a revenge fantasy, and it displays extraordinarily violent impulses. A tall, b.s.-intolerant television journalist named Shannon Michaels, the “product of two Celtic parents,” is pushed out by Global News Network after an incident during the Falkland Islands War, and then by a local station, and he systematically murders the people who ruined his career. He starts with Ron Costello, the veteran correspondent who stole his Falkland story:

QUOTE

The assailant’s right hand, now holding the oval base of the spoon, rocketed upward, jamming the stainless stem through the roof of Ron Costello’s mouth. The soft tissue gave way quickly and the steel penetrated the correspondent’s brain stem. Ron Costello was clinically dead in four seconds.
Michaels stalks the woman who forced his resignation from the network and throws her off a balcony. He next murders a television research consultant who had advised the local station to dismiss him: he buries the guy in beach sand up to his neck and lets him slowly drown. Finally, during a break in the Radio and Television News Directors Association convention, he slits the throat of the station manager. O’Reilly describes each of these killings—the careful planning, the suffering of the victim, the act itself—in loving detail.
eek! eek! eek!

Don't denigrate his character like this. We all know he's not a killer, but a serial sexual harasser.

eek!

Has he ever been convicted of that? Not that I'm aware of. Therefore, it's baseless innuendo, probably from a disgruntled employee, which is exceedingly common nowadays.

He's more likely a serial killer. tongue.gif

Reality to MIB: Bill O'Reilly settled with Ms. Mackris to shut her up. She had tapes of him making sexually harassing statements, including his use of an anal vibrator as he was talking to her. But don't believe me, just check out the facts:

The Smoking Gun: Sleazebag O'Reilly's Sexual Harrassment Suit

QUOTE
OCTOBER 13--Hours after Bill O'Reilly accused her of a multimillion dollar shakedown attempt, a female Fox News producer fired back at the TV star today, filing a lawsuit claiming that he subjected her to repeated instances of sexual harassment and spoke often, and explicitly, to her about phone sex, vibrators, threesomes, masturbation, the loss of his virginity, and sexual fantasies. Below you'll find a copy of Andrea Mackris's complaint, an incredible page-turner that quotes O'Reilly, 55, on all sorts of lewd matters. Based on the extensive quotations cited in the complaint, it appears a safe bet that Mackris, 33, recorded some of O'Reilly's more steamy soliloquies. For example, we direct you to his Caribbean shower fantasies. While we suggest reading the entire document, TSG will point you to interesting sections on a Thailand sex show, Al Franken, and the climax of one August 2004 phone conversation. (22 pages)

MIB, why do you defend such a creep? It was well documented that Bill had the hots for the producer lady, and he vocalized it in a most lewd manner. I say he was dating up! Some family values he must have...is this his idea of "no spin"?

Is there a loofa involved in this novel?

Miller, I'm not defending him. I'm not a fan nor a detractor of O'Reilly. I just get tired of people who throw around accusations and take them as fact. Fantomas is one of the biggest examples. Apparently he thinks that just because people settle legal matters means someone's guilty. I've got news for him--a large number of settlements are done solely because the defendant lacks the money to fight or can't/doesn't want to partake in a long court battle.

Unfortunately, way too many people like FT automatically interpret this as a person admitting his/her guilt when that's not the case at all.

Innocent until proven guilty in America? Hardly. It's the other way around. Accusations = guilt nowadays, and it saddens me.

Having said this, I think O'Reilly is a pompous windbag.

I completely agree and glad to hear that you will no longer making posts that make judgements on people unless they have been found guilty or at fault in a court of law.

It's about time you saw the error of the Left's ways and the sensibility of my wisdom.

BTW, Bill Self still sucks. biggrin.gif
