You weren't there when the record of communications gathered by the NSA on Trump campaign surrogates was sorted out and catalogued in chronological order, nor were you there when Susan Rice unmasked their names, nor were you there when the administration disseminated the information among the 17 federal agencies making it look like Trump was being investigated during the final days of the campaign. But your were there to slam Trump for calling them out for it, were you not?

You weren't there to see if Ailes and/or O'Reilly were actually guilty of the first trespass of sexual misconduct. But again, here. you are to judge them. First and always a champion of the left, denying they specialize in character assassination with regularity, you are nonetheless happy to pronounce O'Reilly guilty as charged. Why? Because you want it to be true.

Incorrect. First, Hillary Clinton got slammed all around by investigation and innuendo and the like. It has been my constant contention that both sides play tough, dirty pool at times and that politics is dirty business. As for O'Reilly, it has been rumored for years about his penchant for dirty talk and abuse of power in the shadow lands of bringing sexuality into the work environment. The days depicted in MAD MEN are long gone, but men of all political stripes and flavors keep stumbling into those shadow lands. Others will step in to take up O'Reilly's mantras, the beat will go on. I personally take no delight in O'Reilly's firing, and he is pocketing 25 million. I have zero power to try or convict him, but can offer an opinion based on years of reported office talk at Fox News and all the various accounts.
