Factor this: What do Rush Limbaugh, Michael Jackson, and Bill O'Reilly have in common? They all prove it's not "wrongdoing" when you can afford it. Obviously the words "wrongdoing" and "afford" are the key.
"Hi, I'm Bill O'Reilly. Thanks for watching us tonight. Before we get to the "Talking Points Memo," I have something very important to tell you. All litigation has ceased in that case that has made me the object of media scorn from coast to coast. Today, lawyers issued a statement saying there was no wrongdoing in the case whatsoever by anyone. Obviously the words "no wrongdoing" are the key.
On a personal note, this matter has caused enormous pain, but I had to protect my family and I did. Some of the media hammered me relentlessly because, as you know, I'm a huge target, as is FOX News. All can I say to you is please, do not believe everything you hear and read.
The good news is that "Factor" viewers and listeners seemed to have given me the benefit of any doubt when some in the media did not. You guys looked out for me and I will never forget it. This brutal ordeal is now officially over and I will never speak of it again."
