\"FoxLast week I posted a screen grab<\/a> from Fox Nation that revealed that the Fox News crew had trouble counting in single digits. The image that appeared on Fox Nation and FoxNews.com with the headline, “Gawker and 7 Other Formerly Popular Sites That Are Dead or Dying,”<\/em> actually had eight sites in addition to Gawker. What I didn’t know at the time was Fox’s reason for taking up space to slam Gawker. Now I know:<\/p>\n

How Bill O\u2019Reilly Tried to Get His Wife\u2019s Boyfriend Investigated By the Cops<\/a><\/p>\n

Last summer, Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly came to believe that his wife was romantically involved with another man. Not just any man, but a police detective in the Long Island community they call home. So O’Reilly did what any concerned husband would do: He pulled strings to get the police department’s internal affairs unit to investigate one of their own for messing with the wrong man’s lady.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fox News was aware that Gawker was preparing to publish this story about their top ratings draw and had decided to make a preemptive strike. The story reveals compelling evidence that O’Reilly’s marriage is on the skids. His wife had purchased a home in her own name and transferred her voter registration. And her name has been removed from the IRS filings of the charitable foundation that she and Bill had previously managed together.<\/p>\n

In addition to the love triangle, the story also features civil corruption via the alleged connection between O’Reilly and his pals at the Nassau County Police Department. It doesn’t help matters that O’Reilly was perhaps dangling a major donation to the department at the time he sought to use the them to extract his romantic revenge. In their defense, Fox was uncharacteristically succinct issuing a terse non-denial<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Gawker has been lying about Fox News for several years. We are not going to dignify this with any further comment.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So it appears that the Culture Warrior, the protector of America’s virtue, the bane of Secular-Progressives, is something less than virtuous himself. Gee, who would have known?<\/p>\n
