Bill O’Reilly is looking at what Sean Hannity did and says he regrets not doing the same when he was attacked. And he says he’s planning something “stunning” to fight back now.
Sounds kinda delusional to me, but whatever. He starts talking about it here at about the 12 minute mark:
The Blaze has a transcript of what he said:
“In hindsight, Sean did it the right way,” O’Reilly said. “I should’ve done it that way, but I didn’t.”
“This was no accident our sponsors were attacked. This is very well organized. They tried to with Hannity. Hannity actually fought back. I didn’t. I should have. For reasons that I cannot explain now, I did not,” O’Reilly explained.
“Hannity knows they’re looking to get him,” the conservative commentator added. “He said it. But I admire Sean, and I admire how he handled situation, because he brought it directly to the folks and the sponsors stopped. He lost a few, but they stopped. So, he was successful in fighting off the attack.”
“But there will be more,” O’Reilly warned.
“We have a lot of information, but my lawyers are begging me not to say anything,” he said. “We’re going to drop it in the next few weeks, and it’s really, really stunning how organized that was and what these people did.”
“I want to let the legal people handle this. I do believe there will be litigation, so I’m going to let them take the lead and then after it’s out, then I’ll comment further on it,” O’Reilly explained.
O’Reilly sounds absolutely delusional here. You simply cannot compare the case of Sean Hannity, who was just stupidly covering a dumb conspiracy theory to help Trump, and O’Reilly, who was accused of a crapload of sexual harassment, AT a time when the network is facing a crapload of sexual harassment claims itself!! Fighting back wasn’t gonna save O’Reilly.
He goes on to talk about the press and how the founders didn’t intend the media to have the freedom they have and be biased. This absurdly stupid. Supposedly he’s a historian, but he should then know that the media was insanely biased at the time of the founders. They would literally have the name of the partisan party they were representing in the names of their newspapers. But, the more witless among the right want to believe that we live in unprecedented times. Amazingly, he whines in the video that people don’t know history. Sigh.
