You mean Bill lashes out in anger? NO! He’s not an angry guy. He would never be a creep with his ex.

At least have a source and facts if your going to do this story Gawker. No fan of O’Reilly but stories like this really makes me hate the media on both sides.

first!!!

Given his own history, I can’t blame his wife for not engaging in the family values that he and Fox’s viewers wish to impose on others, but not practice themselves.

karma…remember the fallafel incident

In the end it’s just another Big Govt phony, who likes to use the Police as a private detective agency, but doesn’t want to pay more taxes. 

I wish these Phonies would just accept that they are acting on TV to their fans and they do love Uncle Sam. He could have paid for a private agency to do the digging, but no he had to use the cheap way by asking for a bailout. Shame on you Billo, and shame on all the phonies. It appears to me you are all big govt. fans in the closet, except Ron Paul. 

Shame on you for believing a story with no facts, No names nothing to back up their claims. Yet it trashes someone whose politics don’t match yours so you hate him and could care less if any of this is even true. How empty of a person are you.

You would love to sound like the voice of reason in this story. Gawker such a slimy source just like Huffpo.

wow.  He gave donations to the police force and that is the basis for the ‘proof’ that he tried to influence the police.  Well, apparently I have done this as well (on a MUCH smaller scale, of coure).   Well, mediaite, I really don’t think you’ll get any more ‘plugs’ or notice from O’Reilly’s show.  This is true trash journalism. No named sources, implying a donation as some type of bribery.   Low indeed.

More like the DrudgeReport. But then, you like that sh*t don’t you?

Huh?  The Drudge Report consists only of links to other websites.  Exactly what does Drudge Report have in common with Gawker?

Another of those “anonymous sources” the lefties love to quote.

No proof needed if a Conservative or FOX is the target.  Guilty until proven innocent.

Bill O’Reilly has every right to call for an investigation into to the activities of one of their detectives, especially one that held O’Rielly’s cuck. 

Makes perfect sense unless ofcourse you are a left wing partisan hack.   

But the truth doesn’t matter to the left. 

You have your head so far up Johnny Dollar’s a$$, that I wouldn’t expect you to understand, much less care.

Drudge only writes his own headlines, the stories all come other sites.

The hell? What’s a “cuck”?

Hey Scotty, or is that Patrick?

uh, am i missing something?  this article has absolutely no substance to it.  lots of “reportedly s”, “may haves”, “allegedly s”, etc etc etc. what a bunch of nothing.

This is all because New York legalized gay marriage.  The Republicans warned you libs!!!!!!!!!

Yes, most often misleading or false headlines, with some race baiting thrown in whenever possible.  Since teabaggers have the attention span and compreshension skills fruit flies, more than adequate for brainwashing purposes.

Right! I bet you felt the same way when he was accused of sexually harassing one of his staff a couple of years ago. I remember how Fox handled that, by paying her hush money. Of-course I don’t believe all the story, but the basic part of using the Police has feet in my eyes. Else why has Fox gone out of their way to trash Gawker before they release the story, they had the chance to respond, but they chose not to. If it’s false? They should simply sue. But Fox and O’Reiley have a history of cover ups, so I couldn’t give a shit about your sentiment, maybe O’Reiley should also think twice before labeling. So it’s up to him to prove himself innocent, just as he asks others to prove themselves. What goes around comes around, so please cut the crap (self pity).

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you have feet in your eyes??  maybe that’s why you can’t write worth a damn…. you can’t see!

You have evidence of what you just posted or are you just another slimeball?

That’s a pretty big blanket you’re throwing out there. Got any evidence to back up your claims.

Tick tock.   Didn’t think so.

After reading the Gawker piece, I must commend Colby Hall for the astute analysis. If the contribution part happens to be correct, I wonder what that says about law enforcement if it accepted money. Neither is bribery a virtue. Which is worse?

So facts don’t matter thanks. Jesus you people are so filled with hate it really destroys you line of thinking.

What an oxymoron. It’s an irony that this phony can’t use capitalization, Yet question’s my writing ability. What a joke! Why don’t you learn how to write? 

You mean like O’Reiley and some of his Fox colleagues. I agree with your statement, especially if Fox is the one pointing the finger. 

hahahha. i may not use capitalization but i can, at least, write a proper sentence. unlike you. take a grammar class while you’re still in high school. it’ll help.

Wow! A little research would produce the fact that Billo and Fox were sued for his sexual aggression towards one of his staff. It was settled out of court with a huge pay for the lady. Please do your research before defending the indefensible. Family/traditional value my freaking behind. PHONIES, well at least he was engaged with a woman. 

Hate on my brother

You lost me on this one.

Go figure.

I wish you said the same to your Fox heroes, Limbaugh, Beck and the other jokers here. Be consistent. 

We all know how much you felt for the women in this case. Dude your the worst kind of hater not even real with yourself about it. You hate a guy because his politics don’t match yours. It doesn’t get any lower then your kind.

They don’t call it “Gawker” for nothing. This story is up their alley, but why a big response from Fox? Because they feel vulnerable.

Nah! It’s horrible. Your punctuation are so terrible that it makes it hard to read your sentence without feeling bad for you or angry at your teacher.

I thought gossip cop was set up for a reasons; doesn’t this story belong there, if you even are going to give it any air time, put it where it belongs…as water cooler gossip.

Trash talking with no sources, but BS….I’m surprised you lowered your self to even report it….but then again,
“who had is alleged to have had” doesn’t say much about editorial skills on this board.

Mediaite, you’re an absolute hypocrite who’s trying to protect O’reilly.  You dogged Weiner with hundreds of stories until he quit.  His issues were also between he and his wife.

Bill O’reilly has already been busted in phone sexual harassment scandal and here the hypocrite goes again.  This would be a non-story for everyone else but not for the biggest morality pimp on TV.

Hey friend, are you complaining about anonymous sources,  from the lefties.
how about Fox News´s “Some people say”  that one is being used too many times..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYA9ufivbDw

Mediaite needs to get down in the gutter once in awhile.

What woman could stand to be married to O’Reilly, I often wondered about his wife and kids…I’ll bet he rules with an iron hand, and no one can talk but him….He is a morality pimp, and Fox News covered up his sex scandal a few years ago, too bad for O’Reilly, hope this goes all over the media….

Yeah, because Mediaite is known for protecting FOX.  HaHa!  Trying to draw a parallel between the Weiner story and this is a stretch, even for you libs. 

You have a terrible problem with comprehension. Ever consider a good education?

I must have struck a nerve. What you’ve just said, you could repeat the same thing to Fox and it would make perfect sense.

I must have stuck a freaking nerve. I bet you’ve done your research, which explains your embarrassment. 

BillO, the champion of the average Joe (an average Joe who makes ~$20million per year), strong-arming a local police department to help stop his wife from sleeping with another man. What an awesome thing to do! 

I wonder how many average Joe’s can afford to do this? 

I wonder how many average Joe’s, in order to keep up appearances, could afford a 7-figure home to move his wife into after she had tired of him shoving-dildos-up-his-arse-while-sexually-harassing-coworkers-and-then-getting-sued-over-it? http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/oreilly-falafel-suit-turns-five?page=16

Simply awesome. 

SPECULATING…..When you have something come back and write a piece with names, place and when otherwise your just spending our working time. I could be really working instead i am reading this bogus piece. C’mon people!

What do you know about it? You better have good information before you start libeling people.

After reading the Gawker story I have to ask where’s the meat? No names or really anything that anyone can go on. Seems like typical hit piece with no names or real facts just alot of stuff thrown out with nothing to back it up. And I’m no fan of Bill O’Reilly but this gawker piece is really weak.

Where’s the evidence, asshole?

capitalization, Yet

No capital after punctuation mark (comma).

Said relationship didn’t take part in New Mexico did it?

Oops!  Another black eye for Fox News and their ringleader Bill-O!!  Hahahaha… fallafels for everybody!

This coming from the angry rabid right of America. I hate Bill O because he’s pompous, an ass, and he lies constantly. Not because he’s right wing. Stop projecting yourself on others.

You made a stupid comparison and when called on it, you could not give an answer.

That’s what we expect from the libs, incoherence, gibberish, and vulgarity.

You don’t say. Better do your research, especially the comma bit.

I must have touched a freaking nerve.

and the women he sent the photos too.

Then he lied to the American public.  At that point, it was between him and everyone.

“compreshension skills fruit flies”.

libs.

By the way Joel, in the Weiner case, you made the claim that it was Weiner who “punked” Brietbart.

How did that work out for you?

You just described KO to a t!

Bill must have struck a nerve!

Michelle struck a nerve!

I heard your wife left YOU for another woman.

Gawker is typical of the left wing media. Remember when the NY Times ran a front page anonymously sourced story on John McCain’s alleged affair?

No, Weiner’s issues were between the public and the lies he told to cover up his unmitigated depravity. He lied to his wife, his constituents, America, his colleagues and accused others of having committed a felony!

BTW, are you angry that he didn’t send you a crotch shot?

you did…conservatives hate to be confronted with their own hypocrisy

Bill, if you had sent out crotch shots, all the libs would support ya!

Wait, is that detective from New Mexico? Is that his picture in the other article?

And you fall for it.

A useful idiot.

The story, reported by John Cook, alleges that Fox News host Bill O’Reilly may have sought a police investigation into a detective who had is alleged to have had a relationship O’Reilly’s wife.

Where are the Mediaite editors with that sentence?

Joelseph. Why do you have to lie to make a point? BOR wasn’t busted for anything. We have no idea what happened because they both sued each other and the records were sealed, and the case settled. Acting like you know exactly the truth is typical of a lefty character assassin like yourself.

Oh, by the way everyone. Did you know that almost a year ago, Joel here, stated categorically that an indictment was imminent any day against Roger Ailes? When is that indictment gonna happen Joel?  HAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!

And you have no proof of that either. None. Nada. Zilch.

Crawl back under your rock.

You left out some facts. They sued each other. There is no evidence of a pay-out because the records are sealed, and no one can talk.

Therefore, throwing around accusations when you can’t know, makes you a slithering, slimy, worm.

No evidence, huh?

That’s what we thought.

Mrs. O’Reilly and the Detective….

The penis goes in, the penis goes out.  Never a miscommunication.

You lefties love to hate people.

I suggest you smoke some dope, and eat some brownies.

The only thing you’ve struck, is yourself. ………………..in the head.

Lefties………….”We’ll believe any rumor, innuendo, or smear that attacks those we hate. Evidence is not necessary.”

Actually he did hire two PI’s to investigate his wife’s activities and asked for the Internal Affairs officer to help the PI’s and to damage the career of the guy giving his wife a bigger fallafel than he had to offer.

If you actually read the article or have someone read it to you, you’ll find there are names from the police department used.

Do you see something in this story about lashing out in anger or are you just lashing out in idiocy?

i was thinking a similar thought.  Who is the idiot here, mediaite for repeating such a flimsy story OR me for coming to this web site since it used to be a bit liberal, but also pretty fair.   As we say in finance, past performance is no indicator of future performance (since things and people change).  Matt’s very good, Frances is more fair than not, the rest are….

I suspect you’ve been striking your nerve all day, sky.

If you don’t use capitalization you can’t write a proper sentence.

“I HATE DRUDGE!!!! so he’s worse than whoever I’m trying to cover for at the moment.”

You have so much air in your head, I don’t expect you to explain yourself.

It’s Colby. That’s how he rolls.

Folks, please. This is very sleazy and just brings Fox critics into disrepute. There’s plenty to criticize O’Reilly and the entire Fox organization over, but this sort of un- or under-documented smear is not the way to go.

I understand Gawker’s passion, but bad reporting really has no defense.

Let’s leave this sort of behavior to those who specialize in it.

You should read the story.

I’m glad Fox is pointing out Gawker’s falling views, because it’s a known fact that having more viewership equals more truth.

I’m glad Fox is pointing out Gawker’s falling views, because it’s a known fact that having more viewership equals more truth.

“Cook’s story is an anonymously sourced report that strongly suggests that O’Reilly….”  Wow, what a story.  I’m really impressed.

Even if it’s true, so what?  Are we now getting into everyone’s marriage issues?  Who cares, and what’s the big deal?  Everyone gets divorced these days and have domestic squabbles all the time.  Yawn….boring.

Dearest Lemming;

I don’t know you, but I’m guessing you are more than “A useful idiot”. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Your friend, 
NE

Geez, Joelgp, you’re NEVER happy.  Everyone is out to get you Libs and they all love Fox News.  Do you remember what site you’re on?  These guys are big time Libs and they hate Fox almost as much s you do.

I’ll bet you a falafel sandwich I can find something on Bill-O!

You mean the woman who worked on his show, left for CNN, and came back — to work on his show again?  That woman? 

You’re a total ass, dude, and everyone here sees it. 

Now that’s a laugh…Fox?  Vulnerable?  Hardly.  Let me direct you to the TVNewser site that shows daily ratings of all the Cable networks and Fox beats the other 3 to 1 just about every day. 

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/

How do you figure any citizen has the right to call for internal affairs to investigate a cop?

This isn’t the first controversy of sleeze Gawker has been involved with.  An article on a major media figure like O’Reilly can get a lot of attention.   If there was any truth to this it’d either be all over the place (or if story just broke) or soon would/will be.  O’Reilly has been clear for years he actively donates to law enforcement and military related charities, as well as many others.  Heck, if I lived in his area and offered a decent service I’d probably have some of his money.  That doesn’t mean if I were to spout some BS about him it’d be true.  Very, very thin arguments in the Gawker article.

O’Reilly is a fetid stool.

O’Reilly is a fetid stool.

Shhhhh, mud wont sling if you take the bullets out of their gun. It’s the wikipedia generation, sources be damned!

You two demonstrate how nicely Mediaite falls in the middle–both sides think there’s bias! They’ll be thrilled.

Mediaite is famous for being guttersnipes who forward smears against media types they do not like (conservatives), while being able to keep their own hands clean. “Hey, we didn’t say O’Reilly’s wife was banging a cop! Gawker did!”

“Cook doesn’t get near proving the more damning suggestion that O’Reilly may have paid off the cops, or tried to, with the donation. It is in proving this link that Cook’s reporting is at its weakest.”

According to the same source that provided the e-mail evidence on which the entire article is based, Haraysm told him or her that was the reason.

What else are we to assume from this: “These internal affairs cops were on the case at the behest of Mulvey in order to get O’Reilly’s funds.”

Why would Gawker exempt O’Reilly, the papa bear of remarkably personal attacks, if they have a source with the goods on him?  They say they are not afraid of Fox and therefore they would hardly respect the folk at Fox for demanding that no-one do to them what they do to others.  They act with impunity and if someone stands up to them, it’s about time.  As for calling the Gawker a source of lies about Fox, can they prove that? Or is it just another slanderous statement thrown out to distract the dogs.

There is no question that Fox News is a polarizing media outlet that
spawns fierce loyalty amongst many of its viewers, and intense loathing
from its detractors.

Don’t mistake defenses of Fox against attacks by thousands of howling progressives as full-throated support.  Fox as a news source is as many others – flawed, glib and sensationalistic…  They have an editorial bent with which I somewhat and only sometimes agree.  This last I relish, though, only in that it drives lefties – for its continued, stubborn existence – literally insane.

Insane enough to spit out what Gawker does here merely for the point that people watch O’Reilly.

I did. Would you care to quote the “lashing out in anger” part?

Indeed. O’Reilly’s a blockhead. Gawker is scum, and always has been.

Um, isn’t NewsCorp under some pretty heavy fire over in England, with the potential of spreading to the US? Yes. Isn’t Ruppert about to be forced out due to his doddering performance before the British HC, with numerous high ranking Newscorp executives under fire for criminal activity? So yes, vulnerable, like never before.

Bribing a police chief to investigate an officer simply because he is dating Bill-O’s ex-wife?

According to Colby Hall.  “Cook’s story is an anonymously sourced report that strongly suggests
that O’Reilly pressured a local police department to investigate the man
with whom his wife was allegedly having an affair.”

Dang, you can’t get more authoritative than that.  We have a veritable, alleged, anonymous suggestion.  Case closed!

Isn’t GAWKER going out-of-busines or something?

What IS known is Pamela Mackis (the woman who sued BOR) was his producer and continued working for him  for months after the alleged incident. Hard to believe someone would stay in their executive position after being sexually harassed. She also recorded the conversations and held on to them without saying anything to News Corp. about the incident. She didn’t bring a suit forward until after she was fired. Smells like sour grapes to me. He counter sued for  libel and Fox settled the case out of court to avoid the bad publicity. Which I have no doubt Mackis’s lawyer said they would do from the beginning.

Those are the FACTS.

nice to know you refuse to admit that fox doesn’t deney this happened :)

nice to know you refuse to admit that fox doesn’t deney this happened :)

never of coward conservatives who hide like babies

i hear you don’t even have a woman. you did, but your wife left you for a man who thinks for himself.

sick of this stuff doesn’t mention that Oreilly’s wife in question isn’t deneying the story. and neither is fox.. .Sick of this stuff, why are you a coward? ;P

of ball-less cowards such as yourself? yes.

so drudgereport posting links with titles that are totally inaccurate are respectable? wow. biased much? : P

its what i expect from a coward like you. hiding like a baby :) cowardly crybaby conservative with no balls. yup thats you.:)

its true :)

its when a woman gets screwed by someone and the cowardly conservative crybaby man/husband is just letting it happen

pissed off and broke is a coward

He is too afraid to mention that fox news IS NOT DENEYING IT HAPPENED

Bill Oreilly’s wife IS NOT DENEYING IT HAPPENED.

pissed off and broke, why are you a poosey?

Why are conservative crybabies such cowards? Is it because they have no balls?

Reading comprehension has never been a teabagger’s strong suit.  They just scan the article for red meat and then latch onto it like a rabid dog.  

This story is totally unproven. Gawker has to come stronger than that.

Read the article asshole!

You claimed to have “evidence” the President Of The United States and the First Lady have a problem with white people.  Where is it? Do you have any “evidence”or are you just full of shit? 

Have you read the article for yourself yet dumbass?  Are you scared to read the article and see the evidence for yourself?  Go read it yourself or have someone read it to you and then come back.

Go read the article dumbass and see the sources that are attributed and named.

Yeah you are missing something, like the attributed quotes from police officials. 

Still waiting on your “evidence” that the President and First Lady have a problem with white people.

Go read the article and the attributed quotes by the police commissioner at the time.

Everyone isn’t able to make a large donation to the police department’s foundation and get internal affairs to investigate an officer because he’s servicing your wife.

Uh… when the police commissioner at the time is quoted as saying “I don’t know if the investigation is ongoing or concluded,” he said, “so I wouldn’t comment. That means there was an investigation and proves BillO’ got an investigation going just because an officer was giving his wife the high hard one.

Karma is a bitch.  For everyone demanding proof here is a pic of Bill’O's wife in action.

http://www.mediaite.com/online/this-exists-surveillance-camera-catches-new-mexico-state-trooper-having-sex-on-the-hood-of-his-car/

Sorry, but FOX NEWS is under no such fire here.  The UK is a totally different operation.  So don’t worry about Fox News being vulnerable to anything.  Your concern would be better placed with vulnerability of CNN or MSNBC here in the US where they get very few people watching them in comparison to Fox.

Obama and the Democrats have tried their darndest to bring Fox down, but the more they attack, the larger the audience Fox gets.  Viewers who are unfamiliar with Fox will first turn to see what the broohaha is all about and then find that they actually LIKE Fox and prefer it to the BS propaganda dished out by the other networks.  The people KNOW where they can get their news “Fair and Balanced”.  FOX RULES!!

Totally different operation?

Bill’O's wife is just getting him back for Andrea Macris’ lufa sponge… nothing to see but soapy bubbles, let’s move on.  

You’re one of the more smarter liberals on this board…am I right?

Tell us some of the lies, and don’t give me the same old thing there are too many to list.

Can you really blame O’Reilly’s wife for trying to get away from the caveman?

“Cook’s story is an anonymously sourced report” that says it all. Make up stuff and some people will believe it.

“Cook’s story is an anonymously sourced report” that says it all. Make up stuff and some people will believe it.

Just the thought of that woman having to jump in the sack with the vile O’Reilly makes me want to throw up.

Gawker is smearing & Slandering Bill O’Reilly who should sue the pants off gawker for there said smears and lies gawker has no facts or proof to back up there claims which are baseless. Since Gawker is nothing but gossip & trash that is never any truth in there reporting which is fact. 

Mediaite should be ashamed to print this libelous garbage and leftist propaganda. 
Sorry, I forgot that this is Mediaite.  There’s no journalistic requirements here.

Hey Mediaite, did you hear that Nancy Pelosi is really a Drag Queen named Alfred Gong.  It’s true, I heard it from a guy who drives a trash truck that was told by a friend of his at the dump.  The guy at the dump saw the makeup in the trash heap while he was driving the D9 Dozer.

I expect Mediaite to post this story tomorrow if it’s a slow day.

“TMP”

Why should Fox News even comment?

Why should O’Reilly’s wife even dignify this BS with a comment?

It’s all lies and smears, O’Reilly doesn’t respond to crap like this. He knows that anything he says will be spun by the hateful liberals like all the leftist idiots on this site.

The Lawyers will handle this.

Totally!  The ones in trouble are NBC, MSNBC.  Haven’t you noticed how things are changing since Comcast has taken over.  They are moving to the center because All Left All Day  doesn’t pay the bills.  There’s only a small audience in the far left Lunyland.  Comcast has toned down Eddie (MSNBC’s resident hate-monger) Chrissy is even moving to the center with his criticism of Obama.  The only one who hasn’t changed much is Rachel.  My guess is that their not ready to reign in an Openly Gay Woman.  It will happen in time.

More people are bailing from MSNBC every day.  They want to keep any credibility they have and are leaving.

Rhetoric is rhetoric but Money is Money and Comcast is in it for the money like every business is.”TMP”

I applaud you Colby Hall.  That was actually an objective article.  While I fully believe that Fox News is the ground zero for petty squabbles and takes the low road at all opportunities, you wrote an article that is objective and should be an example to the Fox New’s and Gawkers’s of the media world.

If Weiner “punked” Brietbart then I want o see all the leftist in Government punk Brietbart every day in the same manner. Weiner was just as smart as you are joelgp.

Wow!  This is the first time I’ve visited this site.  The comments are all hate and snark.  No facts, or even opinions.  What a waste of my time.  Bye bye!

You lefties love to hate people. I suggest you smoke some dope

Is this what passes for political debate down your way? My 12 yr old son comes up with better ripostes.

Just because someone is sued for “sexual aggression” does not mean they actually did anything.  People sue people everyday, all day long, for no particular reason.  I’m no fan of O’Reilly, but I am not so naive as to think that the whole “sexual aggression” story was made up in order to get $$$.

This sounds like a bunch of trash,,,,,,Get a job …And leave the judgement to GOD……I LOVE Bill his show is fair and balanced..all the way … I love the way he gets his point accross..I say 99 percent he is right on …DON’T YOU HATE THAT WHEN THAT HAPPENS …lol lol ….Love it keep up the good work Bill……
