Washington Post: Bill O’Reilly accused again of sexual harassment.
On his ratings-killing nightly program “The O’Reilly Factor,” Fox News host Bill O’Reilly preaches old-fashioned American values. He loves traditional, intact families. It’s not hard to get him to riff on the wholesomeness of his upbringing in Levittown, N.Y.
Square all that with the depiction of Bill O’Reilly in a New York Times article today based on a letter from a former Fox News personality — Juliet Huddy — complaining that the host had sexually harassed her. “The letter includes allegations that Mr. O’Reilly had called Ms. Huddy repeatedly and that it sometimes sounded like he was masturbating,” notes the New York Times story. “He invited her to his house on Long Island, tried to kiss her, took her to dinner and the theater, and after asking her to return a key to his hotel room, appeared at the door in his boxer shorts, according to the letter.”
