Post subject: | O'Reilly to WGN America? |
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bi ... ng-n813896 Bill O'Reilly, the former Fox News anchor, has been negotiating for a position with the Sinclair Broadcast Group, the nation's largest television-station owner, according to two sources familiar with the talks. Sinclair, known for its conservative commentary, is continuing with the talks despite the sexual harassment cases that cost O'Reilly his job at Fox earlier this year, the sources said. Last week, The New York Times reported that O’Reilly settled a $32 million sex harassment claim against him by a former legal analyst, Lis Wiehl. The sources said the news does not appear to have sidelined the talks. "They took a pause but it didn't really change anything for them," one of the sources said. O’Reilly has said the Times article was designed to hurt him in the marketplace. He told The Times that the report was “politically and financially motivated.” One of the sources said Dave Smith, the executive chairman of Sinclair, was introduced to O’Reilly after O'Reilly left Fox in April. A month later, Sinclair denied reports that it was pursuing O’Reilly. The company did not return calls from NBC News about the latest round of talks. One of the sources, who is close to O’Reilly, said on Tuesday that the two sides were "about midway" through negotiations. A second source explained that Sinclair is considering putting O’Reilly on its local stations. Sinclair currently owns or operates 173 U.S. television stations. In May, the company reached a deal to pay $3.9 billion for Tribune Media, and if the deal is approved by regulators, the company would control more than 220 stations. Many of Tribune's stations are Fox affiliates. It is unclear how Fox would feel about O'Reilly appearing on its affiliated stations. “What you are going to see is a syndicated show,” said a source familiar with talks, “not a news channel. I know they’ve been talking about doing something in syndication and and something that could air on WGN,” Tribune's flagship station. The source said Sinclair is considering a two-hour block for O'Reilly, possibly beginning at 6 or 7 p.m. "They want to do something anti-CNN, anti-MSNBC," the source said, referring to Sinclair's conservative political bent. Sinclair has faced criticism for telling local news managers that they must run segments featuring the Republican political analyst Boris Epshteyn, a former staff member in the Trump White House. |

In looking at how many powerful media people are being implicated in this stuff, most notably Hollywood bigwigs, it is going to be tough to find well known talent in certain corners of the media world. I figure we are only hearing about a small fraction of the bad actors, and that this stuff is going to keep bleeding out. My point is that as a society we are going to have to decide if we accept these individuals (meaning, consuming their productions) or if they get blacklisted. |

Yeah. There will be so many people accused of things that the lesser evils will get back into the business. They should do a point system like with traffic records and until you reach a certain number, you are ok to stay in the business. Inappropriate Joke - 1 point Uncomfortable Touching (Non Private Parts) - 2 points Inadvertent Frotteurism - 3 Points Masturbating In front of Subordinate - 4 points Sexual Assault/Rape on Adult - 7 Points Sexual Assault/Rape on Minor - 10 points |

Saved you a click: Frotteurism is a disorder in which a person derives sexual pleasure or gratification from rubbing, especially the genitals, against another person, usually in a crowd. The person being rubbed is a victim. |

And so today I'm making an announcement that many of you have been expecting for a long time. I am officially declaring my entry into your best-bagger contest. Just one question -- paper or plastic?" God, he's proto-Hillary. |
