Dean's World

Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.

Fox Fires A Troublesome Employee (Joe Gandelman)

One of them.

UPDATE: A columnist suggests Bill O'Reilly should cool it in the middle of this controversy. Indeed, it's now in the legal arena and that would be wise.

PS: I am big O'Reilly fan, especially of his radio show. I'm looking foward to what I'm told will be his new book Who's Looking Out For A Vibrator.

UPDATE II: Oh, all right..A reader reminded me that I DID offer Bill some useful advice on how to end this whole thing so here it is.....

I read Mackis' complaint against O'Reilly. I won't link to it but it's on Smoking Gun. It's kind of sad to read. If it's true it's horrible, if it's false it's equally horrible.

Still, everything is hearsay. There are lengthy bits quoting him but it's all based on the plaintiff's memory. Although it does sound like she may have at least one or two witnesses to the less salacious conversations.

I'm willing to bet they wind up settling out of court.

I agree with your assessment, Ara, but with techina and hot sauce.

Anyway, Fox News has the same right to fire a $92,000/year executive as any other private company, for whatever reason, at any time.
