Fox gave O'Reilly contract despite settlement

new york - Popular commentator Bill O'Reilly received a new million-dollar contract from Fox News while the transmitter knew he had a torn settlement with a female employee of the transmitter about sexual harassment. That's what the New York Times reports on Saturday based on two well-imported sources.

O'Reilly was still receiving the bag three months after signing his new contract because advertisers threatened to withdraw. That threat became known when Fox had already paid five women a total of 13 million dollars in previous years to keep silent allegations of sexual harassment.
