I used to really enjoy watching Bill O’reilly’s show, but his actions completely turn me off these days.  He is so rude to most guests, especially women, I think he is very condescending to his woman guests.  He acts like they are just to stupid for words.  He needs to get a reality check about himself and quit being such a loud know it all!!!

This story has been taken totally out of context.  Miss Terkel slammed O’Reilly about a quote from him that she picked up on one of the sites and did not research and read the whole interview, part of it had to do with an interview with Mel Gibson and his drinking.  She hadn’t even read the whole interview, took a couple of sentences, and then wrote her piece. Consequently, it went out all over the internet and fueled major resentment towards O’Reilly. 

Now fast forward to what this story is really about - there was a young woman brutally raped at knife point in her apartment or dorm while she was in college.  They caught and convicted the guy. This young woman, in order to heal, began a foundation to help rape victims.

O’Reilly has contributed to the support of that foundation and he was asked to speak at a conference they were having.  Miss Terkel’s article spurred a group of protestors to harass and protest the rape victim.  They protested her conference and harassed her family constantly to the point of incredible stress on this young woman who was only trying the help rape victims. Miss Terkel’s actions resulted in cyber bullying and harassment of a rape victim. 

Bill O’Reilly is egotistical and bombastic, but he is not always wrong. I don’t know his whole quote that Terkel used, but it resulted in harassment of a rape victim.  He is always on the forefront against child abuse and pedophiles and rapists, contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars.  I know he goes for the drama in his news stories, but worse is MediaMatters, they lie all the time.

He has said many times the he thinks Pres Obama is brilliant, doesn’t agree with him, but after he’d interviewed him someone asked him do you think he can do the job, and he said yes - live on the air. He is not always what you think he is.

Yes someone from Fox News confronted Miss Terkel, and he was aggressive in his questions, and she seemed rather dull and clueless - another reporter who doesn’t know how to do their homework - they believe it is memorizing something and not do any real thinking, rather like a child.  They are screwed up with what to think and not "how to" think or reason.  

Sj…I get the point you were trying to make when you said "dressed in provacative clothing and walking a street in the wee hours of the morning increases your chances of an attack"…I was in just that situation.  In my younger days, I was leaving a club and I was dressed, had on knee high boots, short mini skirt, midrif top and I had to walk to my car alone, 3 blocks.  I was heckled and followed by two guys, they were drunk, I was not.  I finally turned around & stood my ground to them and they backed off, but in doing so I left myself wide open for an attack.  After that night I knew the clothes I wore and being alone at 2am was not safe.  Predators look for girls just like that…the less clothes she has on the less they have to get through, the later it is in the night they assume she had been drinking and is drunk, so easier target.  Is it the girls fault, NO, but sometimes we have to be a litte more aware of what we are wearing and where we are…

Its sad others cant see the point you were trying to make.
