O’Reilly Marks Fox’s 10th Anniversary With Powerful Insight About Women’s Shoes
O’Reilly Marks Fox’s 10th Anniversary With Powerful Insight About Women’s Shoes
Ten years ago today, Rupert Murdoch changed the face of cable news with the premier broadcast of the Fox News Channel. Last night, Bill O’Reilly reminded us just how much the “fair and balanced” network has, in the words of Roger Ailes, “changed the dialogue about news and information.”
His segment started out, “What is it with the shoes, ladies? I’m not getting this.” Watch it:
Outfoxed has a more complete 10th anniversary tribute.
Transcript:
Time now for the most ridiculous item of the day. What is it with the shoes, ladies? I’m not getting this. I have five pair of shoes. They all look the same. Black and brown, that’s it. Chances are you have many, many more shoes than I do. And here what happens you fall down. Some of these shoes are dopey, you can’t walk in them. Why would anybody wear shoes you can’t walk in? I don’t know. But I do know it’s ridiculous.

What’s ridiculous is that O’Reilly thinks this is important enough to comment on.
October 6th, 2006 at 11:35 amThats one of the 25,000 things I dont give a sh*t. Next.
October 6th, 2006 at 11:37 amWhat’s ridiculous is that O’Reilly thinks this is important enough to comment on. – - Evidently TP does too.
October 6th, 2006 at 11:40 amDidn’t know o’?Reilly had a shoe fetish.
October 6th, 2006 at 11:41 amwhy would anyone who is straight like to use a dildo on himself while engaging in phone sex with a woman on the other line?
October 6th, 2006 at 11:42 amI don’t know. But I do know it’s ridiculous.
I see FOX as a really bad roller coaster. It takes you up a bumpy incline slowly to reach a peak then hurdles downward making people want to throw up the whole way.
They reached their peak. Did their thing and they are so one-sided it has to get stale even for Kool-aid drinkers.
October 6th, 2006 at 11:43 amFox News isn’t news, it’s entertainment for the uneducated masses.

October 6th, 2006 at 11:44 amIt’s obvious that O’Reilly’s depth of analysis is what has made his career at Fox.

October 6th, 2006 at 11:47 amSteve,
I’ve always equated it to wrestling. Wrestling is sports entertainment….FOX is news entertainment(for the brain dead)
Well, he can’t really comment on the Foley mess too much, can he? If I remember correctly, didn’t he engage in a little sexual manipulation himself?
October 6th, 2006 at 11:57 amthat outfoxed tribute to 10 years of FAUX was great.
In hind sight, I’m glad that Clinton called Faux on their bulls**t.
October 6th, 2006 at 11:58 amloofa!loofa!loofa!
October 6th, 2006 at 11:59 amAre shoes something else that Bill-O fetishizes about?
October 6th, 2006 at 12:18 pmBest Seinfeld impression…
And hey! Whaaat’s with all these shoes?!? I mean, come on!
October 6th, 2006 at 12:22 pmWhy do SP’s want to destroy free speech? You saw it at Columbia University. They bum rushed the stage and would not let the rep from the Minuteman Project could speak. Now O’Reilly has a moment with some fun stuff and you folks flip.

If you read the smoking gun – it has his detailed exploits in the affidavit.

Summary from Gawker.com October 13th 2004 – two year anniversary coming right up
The Smoking Gun just got their hands on the Bill O’Reilly sex harassment suit. The suit alleges that the Fox News anchor really liked to overshare: about losing his virginity in a car at JFK, doing Thai hookers, having a threeway with Scandinavian air mattresses. And, according to the complaint, he really, really likes phone sex (while using a dildo on himself)
October 6th, 2006 at 12:24 pm10 years of misinformation. What are they celebrating again, the fact that they can warp impresionable minds?
October 6th, 2006 at 12:26 pmWell, BO said it was ridiculous. Moving on…
Maybe a nice caption contest…?
October 6th, 2006 at 12:28 pmI think Bill’s trying to point out his wife wears comfortable shoes.
October 6th, 2006 at 12:28 pmPut some womens shoes on billie, we all know you want to…..
October 6th, 2006 at 12:52 pmThat was a model, paid to wear whatever clothes she’s given– so once again, Bill misses the point entirely.
October 6th, 2006 at 1:01 pmI wonder if this will push him up or drive him down the Al Qaeda death list he has reported himself being on.
October 6th, 2006 at 1:15 pmOK, I like shoes more than the average gal (at +200 pairs, I’m almost as bad as Condi), but this is plain silly. Slow news day, Bill? The Foley scandal a little too close to home? Also, since no one, not even the base, is buying Fox’s twisted attempts at misdirection… gotta run the other way!
October 6th, 2006 at 1:17 pmWasn’t Geraldo just on his show complaining about Stewart and Colbert showing clipss of old ladies slipping on ice? Will Geraldo come back and condem O’Reilly for getting ratings through showing clips of young models tripping on the runway?
October 6th, 2006 at 1:24 pm+200 pairs
Comment by SKdeA
Whaaa? What is the attraction to shoes!?
A nice foot, mmmm, yes. But shoes, feh…
October 6th, 2006 at 1:30 pmSo an old man on a cable television network wasted 30 seconds of prime time to talk about women and shoes. Obviously there are far more important subjects to discuss. If that’s the point you were trying to make, TP, then say so. If your point is that his commentary was not “fair and balanced” and that O’Reilly should have interviewed women, fashion designers, models, and podiatrists then say that, too. Otherwise, this is just another elitist cheap shot at Fox.
However, Fox News Channel is a business. And to keep and entertain a brainded audience they need to waste airtime on crap like this.
October 6th, 2006 at 1:35 pmGood point Tollins
October 6th, 2006 at 1:41 pmYeah, O’Reilly! Get this. You only have five pairs of shoes and two colors; black and brown. That’s because you are dull, dim and wear shoes that match the color of the Foxcrement you smear on the walls and floors and wade through daily at the studio. And then there’s your oral diarrhea.
October 6th, 2006 at 1:41 pmI should have started on about that this morning because it would have been be an all day job.
BTW, O’Reilly. Any man who does not “get” the gals and shoe thing, is perfect for Fox. The distance beteween you and a trailier park, is only 31 teeth, Bill.
October 6th, 2006 at 1:46 pm26: tollins: reminds me of what news baron, Lord Thompson of Fleet said when asked what news is — “The news is what we use to fill the space between the advertisements.”
October 6th, 2006 at 1:51 pmYou see, Fox has been having some ratings problems. One thing that their extensive market research has shown is that foot-fetishists and cross-dressers skew strongly toward their product and Papa Bill. Bill’s piece on the shoes is merely reflective of a world-class organization delivering in-demand, top-quality product to its core consumers in real time. J. Edgar would be glowing with admiration for Fox, and green with envy over Papa Bill’s sassy new slingbacks.
October 6th, 2006 at 1:54 pmHey O’Reilly! I can get you a nice used pair of Korean knock-off M. Blahniks. Nice little pumps that smell of girl foot sweat. You can keep them nearby in case you need a little snort during some future sex line phone call.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:00 pmI normally hate the smug SOB. But with about 300 pairs cluttering my house, and lugging suitcases through the airport only to find my wife has packed an entire suitcase with shoes for a weekend trip; I am with Bill on this one. I don’t get it.

Comment by Mart
I don’t get it either.
I’d go to work barefoot, if they’d let me.
October 6th, 2006 at 2:12 pmbor, he’s a kook!
October 6th, 2006 at 2:42 pmAh, but Bill, how many bras do yuo own, hmmm?
Maybe he’s just more into the lingerie…..
October 6th, 2006 at 4:08 pmIs Oreilly goading\Condi Rice?
Oh wait, he’s talking to his fundamentalist extremist barefoot and pregnant crowd of hicks.
October 6th, 2006 at 4:30 pmAs if BORe could lug a suitcase!!
I bet he has more types of falafels than types of shoes!
Bwahahhaaa!
October 6th, 2006 at 4:35 pmFOX News is Anti-Christ media…go figure. Whats next?
I guess Manne Coulter will soon be found to be a child of Madame Blavatsky?
Is BOR a step-child of the Crowley sex magik of phallic worshippers?
A comet approaching the Earth aimed heading directly for Washington, the new sodom and gomorah?
October 6th, 2006 at 4:43 pmMy point was that TP posted this under the “Braindead Media” section. I think their assertion is that real journalists (such as themselves) don’t air meanlingless stories. TP’s claim is that FNC is therefore not a valid news organization. But they used a curmudgeon whining about shoes as evidence; that’s a cheap shot.
But, yes, O’Reilly’s remarks in and of themselves were elitist and cheap, too. The revelation only bolsters my argument, though.
October 6th, 2006 at 5:39 pmpoor Bill, frantically sinking in the ratings, he’s hitched his wagon to a RISING STAR—he’s emulating Keith Olbermann!! Olbermann does a goofy segment during his show and Bill is so jealous he can’t stop himself–he wants to BE Olbermann……give it up, pal.
October 6th, 2006 at 5:50 pmWhat’s so great about Bill O’Liely is that HE is ALWAYS the MOST RIDULOUS ITEM OF THE DAY!!!!
October 6th, 2006 at 6:08 pmFollowinhg is the link to the sex harrassment compaint against the Dufus Factor.
Man, this guy is one sick puppy
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1013043mackris1.html
October 6th, 2006 at 7:51 pmYes, women, apparently for a few years now, have been buying more shoes and paying more attention to fashion than men. Interesting point. What a dick.
October 6th, 2006 at 9:37 pmBull o’really is a masturbator on the media. he only gets self pleasure out of his show. he invites people and yells and screams and switches of their microphone and dont let them talk. then convinces himself that his point is right. he has a bastard child growing up in fox he is hannity.
October 7th, 2006 at 12:32 pmTime now for the most ridiculous item of the day. What is it with the vibrators, Bill? I’m not getting this. I have five vibrators. They all look the same. Black and brown, that’s it. Chances are you have many, many more vibrators than I do. And here what happens: you get sued. Some of these vibrators are dopey, you can’t fit them in. Why would anybody use vibrators you can’t fit in? I don’t know. But I do know it’s ridiculous.
October 7th, 2006 at 1:50 pmMmm, women’s shoes and loofas. Hot.
October 7th, 2006 at 11:13 pmYou people are making fun of this guy’s sex life..That’s funny.
October 8th, 2006 at 2:16 pmWell, at least he’s not the President doing this in the White House
like someone else we knew.
