Bill OReilly On The View: How Much Can Hasselbeck Take?

Controversial but top-rated cable news television host Bill O'Reilly has renegotiated his contract with Fox News that will see him paid $10 million a year.
No wonder he was so effusively upbeat and offensive on The View this week!
And to think that O'Reilly was there to promote his recently published memoir — a book written by a man so undeniably assured of his own self-righteousness, that only he could come up with such an inspired and hyperbolic title: A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity.
Sometimes, it's almost hard to believe that O'Reilly is actually a real person, isn't it?
Bill O'Reilly has re-upped with Fox News Channel in a multiyear deal that pays him about $10 million a year to host his top-rated news program, "The O'Reilly Factor."The former ABC correspondent has found unprecedented success at Fox, which he joined in 1996. "The O'Reilly Factor" has been the top-rated cable news program for 94 months, with an average nightly viewership of 4 million people.
"Bill O'Reilly is the most prominent and influential name in all of cable news, and his contribution to the network's success cannot be overstated," Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes said.

A bit jealous Jarrett?
If you would have really done your research you would have known that the 10 million figure was denied by O'Reilly. I find it more difficult to realize that there are actually people that have nothing more to do then put this crap on the net. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT!

Since you put this in the public section in order to support your team mate then it is fair play. I sent you a private message that I won't make public out of respect for the privacy. But if you want me and others out of here for this site to be one voice and one opinion then so be it. But your Canadian friends including Moonwolf and others can pretty much say what they want and can trash whom they want with out any prejudice. Double standard is the way here. But you have the marbles and it is after all your playground so if you don't want me around just say so.
