Syndicate Head: Column Clients Stand By Bill O'Reilly | |
2004-10-14 | |
Despite lurid charges of sexual harassment, Bill O'Reilly hasn't lost a single newspaper client for his column, and the man who heads the syndicate that distributes the column says he stands behind the top-rated host of "The O'Reilly Factor." "I'm behind him 100 percent," Creators Syndicate President Rick Newcombe told Editor & Publisher (E&P). "I think this is politically motivated. Bill is a lightning rod for criticism because he has strong views and can be very critical of the other side. He's a big target." Andrea Mackris, an associate producer on O'Reilly's Fox News Channel show, filed a lawsuit accusing O'Reilly of speaking to her against her will about sex, vibrators and more after O'Reilly had filed a lawsuit charging her and her attorneys with extortion.
