UNCLE BARKY’S BITES
After more than two decades, Fox ousts O'Reilly By Ed Bark
unclebarky@verizon.net Bill O’Reilly certainly didn’t plan on titling his next book “Killing O’Reilly.” But if he did, it might make for his biggest bestseller of all. Perhaps you’ve heard. O’Reilly and “The O’Reilly Factor” were ousted from Fox News Channel (FNC) last week after a more than 21-year stay that began with the launch of the “Fair and Balanced” network in October 1996. A slew of sexual harassBill O'Reilly's final show. ment allegations, and the recent disclosure of a reported $13 million paid out to five accusers, resulted in more than 60 advertisers boycotting O’Reilly’s show. “The Factor” remained the No. 1 ratings draw on FNC, but audience levels are irrelevant when you can’t pay the bills with commercial revenues. And so O’Reilly was let go with a $25 million parting gift before Tucker
Carlson was announced as his successor in FNC’s prime-time leadoff slot. I’ve done several interviews with O’Reilly since arriving in Dallas in late 1979. By that time, O’Reilly had left WFAA-TV (Channel 8) after a brief stay in the late 1970s that seemed to generate almost universal dislike among his colleagues. A bit more on that later. But first, let’s rewind all the way back to O’Reilly’s very first book, a 1998 novel titled “Those Who Trespass.” He Photo courtesy of Ed Bark stopped in Dallas to promote it and was full of his usual hyperbole during our one-onone interview. The book’s protagonist is a vengeful TV journalist turned serial killer. By page 7 of the novel, a womanizing White House correspondent is the first victim. He’s left with a silver O'REILLY cont'd on page 9

In addition, the State Fair awards scholarships to selected applicants who have participated in youth livestock competitions at the State Fair of Texas and are enrolling in an agricultural-related or agricultural-benefiting curriculum.

FASHION SENSE
Pilates week and Bandier team up for fashion fête By Leah Frazier leahfarizer.com
The athleisure boom is still evolving in the realm of fit fashion, with no immediate signs of slowing down soon. Gone Leah Frazier are the days of the yoga pants obsession. Now enter the season where the more versatile the gear, the better, taking the fit-obsessed from the gym to a kiddie play date, to lunch and beyond. Couture-inspired and “haute” off the runway, athleisure brands like Highland Park’s Bandier, combine texture with prints for the perfect workout aesthetic. Reptile patterns, laser-cut fabrics, and peek-a-boo sections are now the norm, as high-fashion-meets-fitness becomes the new black. No longer dull to the senses (or your closets), several trends now emerge to up your game from drab to fab, as you take over the city one gym at a time. Shine bright in metallics. From head to toe, metallics shine bright as reflective shades in silver and gold plaster athleisure attire in sports bras, leggings, and even sneakers. Whether in solids or shapes of dots or stars, this eclectic metal sheen puts the fun into everyday fitness. Get shredded in texture. Bandier is widely recognized for its youthful, cutting edge spin on athleisure, yet versatile enough to don effortlessly from day to night. Leathers paired with sheer fabrics are in, as rips, shreds, and even lace-up leggings now enter the mix. The true key to fit-fashion for 2017: go for bold! Perfect in prints. Multi-print and pattern play still headline the action, as animal, splatter, and ombré prints lead the pack. The ultimate pairing, these looks in leggings fare well with sky-high pumps, blazers, designer tees and more following a day at the gym. It’s versatility at its finest. Area trendsetters are now being summoned by Bandier Dallas to get in on the latest arrivals in athleisure fashion directly at their store. Specifically for the Pilates finatics, athleisure will hit an all-time high as the first ever Pilates Week hits the Dallas metroplex and welcomes the latest in Pilates style. Created by Pilates Live founder Alexia Hammonds and sponsored by Classic Pilates, Eraclea and ClassPass, the weeklong extravaganza will feature virtual Pilates sessions, educational workshops, giveaways, raffles, Pilates “looks of the day” worn by 106.1 KISS FM’s Jenna Owens,
cocktail parties and more! Benefiting the Pilates Youth Organization, the introductory event will ultimately hail as the official Pilates Week destination for fitness enthusiasts around the world. A noted local fave of Hammonds, Bandier will serve as one of many style inspirations for attendees. “Pilates Week was created to foster a stronger sense of togetherness within the Pilates community,” said Alexia Hammonds. “One hundred percent of all funds raised during Pilates Week will benefit Pilates Youth Organization and go directly towards scholarships and programs that will develop a well-balanced and healthy lifestyle for our youth. So the question is: what to wear to the inaugural event? Sport the latest trends in style by coming out to Bandier May 3 at 7 p.m. for the official Pilates Week “Shop Night.” A percentage of all sales benefit the Pilates Youth Organization, and the evening will round out with a photo booth, Bandier x Pilates Week tees, sips, snacks and more. Following Shop Night, grab your mat, stay hydrated, and flawlessly flaunt your new Pilates style by attending the large Pilates Mat Session at the Ron Kirk Pedestrian Bridge on May 6th at 6 p.m. led by Colleen Glenn Wilson. Take it from here, this is one chic week of events that should make the cut. For more information on Pilates Week, follow facebook.com/officialpilateslive for updates.

THE DRIVE: So, you have 505 turbocharged horsepower from a 2.9 liter V6, and that V6 is closely related to a Ferrari V8. How do you think it’s gonna’ drive, Citizen? Acceleration will distort your face like those old Air Force films, while braking will mix things up better than a daily probiotic. It is, in a word or two, a personal extension of your automotive hopes and dreams, sitting atop a world-class platform devised by a world class team. Special praise has been heaped on the Giulia’s steering. It’s perfectly weighted, amazingly linear and without even the suggestion of a dead zone, unless steering your Giulia into a tree. Alfa’s DNA control (cute, huh?) adjusts your excitement levels to better correspond to surrounding traffic. And then there’s Race mode. And for most traffic — even traffic in the ‘burbs — we played the “Race” card. The hidden figure is the 2.9 liter V6’s 443 pound-feet of torque. And the sweet spot is wide, delivering maximum torque between 2500 and 5500 rpm. SUMMARY: The base Giulia or higher-spec Giulia Ti will run you between $40K and $50K. At that figure it slightly undercuts a 3 Series BMW or the Mercedes C-Class. And while we doubt it will enjoy the resale of the BMW or Benz, there’s more to life, kids, than return on investment; there’s life itself. And few things will maximize the daily commute better than Signor Marchione’s Alfa Romeo Giulia. In Quadrifoglio form, at around $70K, the competition is more ill-defined. Car and Driver judged it to be BMW’s M4 and the Mercedes-AMG C63S, but we’d broaden that set to Porsche’s Cayman, Jaguar’s F-Type and any late-model 911. This is a car that, despite its four-door profile, absolutely rips up the spec sheet of comparably priced sports and GT cars. And if you don’t want to drive something with four doors, just don’t use those rear doors, forgawdsake. It will be an all-too-frequent refrain among Alfa owners: I’m in love with the shape of you …
I’ve been paying attention to the “imminent” David Boldt return of Alfa Romeo since Sergio Marchionne (chairman and CEO of FiatChrysler) first raised the possibility, which now seems like forever ago. The stated reason for the delay in returning Alfa to the U.S. was commendable: FiatChrysler’s team wants to “get it right,” and who would disagree? But in taking the time to create an Alfa sedan appropriately upmarket, with a new rear-wheel drive/all-wheel drive platform and updated powertrains, the Fiat brain trust has allowed time for sedan prospects to effectively abandon sedans. Thankfully, in the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, Alfa has a four-door that doesn’t request our attention — it absolutely demands it. From its almost sensual bodywork (Ed Sheeran has written a song…) to its exquisite dynamics and explosive powerplant, the Quadrifoglio — Italian for four-leaf clover, pronunciation is your problem — ups the ante in the four-door sport sedan hierarchy almost overnight … if you forget how long they’ve been talking about it. Here, then, is the overview … EXTERIOR: I had no idea the grille of an Alfa Romeo could be disliked, but two friends — in seeing pics of the Quadrifoglio — immediately dissed the Giulia, based solely on its face. We love the face, tucked in tight and looking like a slightly puckered lip. In a sea of automotive models attempting to look distinctive, there’s something reassuring in a brand’s face that looks only like that brand. Further, it’s integrated into the vehicular whole, and not slapped onto a form singularly out of shape with the designer’s initiative. The balance of the four-door Quadrifoglio employs a conventional sensibility, not differing greatly from what BMW serves up in its 3-Series. To that end, some might describe the Alfa as Euro-generic, but I like its lack of gimmickry. Even the Quadrifoglio, with its aero mods, David Boldt brings years of experience in comes across as what we used to call moderate automotive retail sales and public relations to Republican rather than wild-eyed zealot. With his automotive reporting. More can be found at that, know that the Giulia and its more expressive txGarage.com. offshoot won’t be ubiquitous, regardless of what Mr. Marchione might hope. Alfa has historically been a niche brand, and that won’t change with the launch of the Giulia. INTERIOR: Access to the front seats is perfect, while fullsize adults will feel slightly violated as they attempt to slide rearward. Up front, the trackday-specific buckets will hold you in place, but — thankfully — don’t suck you in place. There’s room to breathe or, if you’re the luckless passenger riding with Speedracer, room to squirm. The wheel is perfectly sized and shaped, the view of the instrumentation is unobPhoto by David Boldt structed, and when positioned properly, you’re The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. given a good view of what’s around you.

A Tiffiny Dlouhy was a 29-year-old mom.
She and her husband had two young sons ages seven and four. In 2011, while pregnant, Dlouhy was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer at the young age of 24. She immediately started chemotherapy. Four weeks after the birth of her second child, she was back in the hospital for a double mastectomy. Later that year a large tumor was found in her hip, leading to emergency surgery. It was discovered that the breast cancer had metastasized. Dlouhy also had a hysterectomy. She finished up with more chemo, but sadly, died in October 2016. Dlouhy’s wish was to have an Apple MacBook and iPod for her and her family. This one resource gave her the ability to FaceTime with the kids when apart due to treatment, surgery or recovery, and to stay more organized regarding managing the home and family affairs.

Brazilian empanadas
By Dotty Griffith
dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Meat pies, known as pasties in England and empanadas in South America, are wonderful no matter what they’re called. This version is the Brazilian version served at Fogo de Châo, the Brazilian steakhouse, as appetizers. They’d make a great lunch as well.

Dotty Griffith Empanadas at Fogo de Chão.
Fogo de Chao Brazilian Empanadas 1 tablespoon oil 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped garlic 1 pound ground sirloin, crumbled 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper 1 cup coarsely chopped tomatoes, drained 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2 tablespoons ketchup 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1/8 teaspoon cumin 1/4 cup sliced green onions 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 10 (6-inch) rounds of pastry dough Oil or shortening for frying Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, then onions and garlic. Cook stirring frequently until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook over medium heat until brown. Add bell pepper, tomatoes, and mix until well blended.
Stir in salt, ketchup, cumin and Worcestershire sauce. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until most liquid is absorbed. Off heat, stir in green onions and parsley, mixing well. Allow to cool to room temperature. To fill empanadas, place a circle of dough on lightly floured work surface. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons filling in the center and fold over. Using a finger, apply cool water to the edges. Press edges together using the tines of a fork to seal the empanada. Repeat until all rounds of dough have been used. Place empanadas on a sheet pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 3 hours. To cook empanadas in a large saucepan, deep fryer or electric skillet, heat 2 inches of oil to 350 F over medium heat. Carefully lower 2 to 3 empanadas into the hot oil, cooking until golden on one side. Turn and cook until golden on the other side. Drain on paper towels. Keep warm until all empanadas are cooked and ready to serve. Makes 10 empanadas.

MOVIE TRAILER
‘Colossal’ has moments of greatness
By Chic DiCiccio @chiccywood
As of this writing, “Colossal” is only in 224 theaters across the U.S. This is no doubt due to the fact that there are high concept movies and then there is “Colossal.” This wonderfully bizarre movie is a genre bouillabaisse with ingredients of science fiction, drama, social commentary, and dark, dark comedy. It has a handful of missteps and some questionable casting, but the overall weirdness of this thing virtually guarantees it will be a box office disaster and right on track to cult classic status. This is director/writer Nacho Vigalondo’s first big budget (albeit just a $15 million one) American movie and it’s attracted quite the cast. It also may prove that Vigalondo the Screenwriter is far more clever than Vigalondo the Director as the writing wins out over the images up on the big screen. It also helps that the actors saying his words are an impressive collection of Anne Hathaway, Jason Sudeikis, Dan Stevens, and the criminally underused Tim Blake Nelson. Hathaway stars as Gloria, a failed New York writer who has turned into a full time party girl. Her alcoholism and overall selfish behavior leaves her milquetoast boyfriend, Tim (Stevens), no choice but to chuck her out of his apartment. Gloria moves back to her parent’s now-empty home in her hometown, which looks like Middle America, Anywhere USA. She bumps into her childhood pal, Oscar (Sudeikis), who realizes she’s completely broke and offers her a waitressing job at his bar willed to him by his father. An alcoholic working at a bar is never
a good move and Gloria quickly fits right in with Oscar’s drinking buddies, Garth (Nelson) and Joel (Austin Stowell). After an all night bender, Oscar awakens Gloria and she learns that a giant lizard-like monster had attacked Seoul, South Korea at 8:05 a.m. that morning. This is where “Colossal” gets super weird. Gloria learns that she is, in fact, the monster Photo courtesy of Toy Fight Productions that appears when she walks through a playground located Anne Hathaway stars in “Colossal.” between Oscar’s bar and her he’s funny and kind, but there are times parent’s house.

TRAVEL cont'd from page 2 are compulsory. I never saw any speeding cars. Laid back Icelanders don’t seem to be in a hurry. There are few large buildings; most are twothree stories. The road system is excellent. Because of the low population, sprawling city and good highways, traffic jams are rare. Many roads and driveways are heated by the hot water grid, so even in snowy weather, plowing is not always necessary. Iceland is safe, which probably explains why there seemed to be many women travelling there alone. You can walk anywhere at any time. No visa is needed for Americans to visit Iceland.
Iceland is an advanced economy that experienced 7 percent growth in 2016, the highest in the world. Poverty is not apparent. Upon leaving Iceland, the advanced technology of the society is apparent in the baggage scanning process, automated like no other I’ve seen, with a conveyor belt kicking out bags for human inspection. All told, Iceland is a great place to experience once-in-a-lifetime natural sights in a place that is easy to enjoy.

OPINION
Bullish on Bullet Train By Joe Ruzicka
joe.c.ruzicka@gmail.com My family and I recently returned from a spring break vacation to Japan. Yes, I know that is not really a spring break destination for Texans, but it was an opportunity to see Navy friends and show the kids where I spent three years of bachelorhood. I was stationed with the U.S. Navy in Japan from 1999-2002. One thing I came to love during those three years is the Japan rail system. If we are going to build a high speed rail system in Texas, Japan has a great model to follow. During the planning of our trip I never considered renting a car. First, the Japanese drive on the left, so making a motor vehicle operate safely on the “wrong” side of the road with kids screaming is a supreme challenge. Second, traffic is an absolute nightmare. Japan has 127 million people in a space the size of California. The confluence of people and cars makes good public
transportation a lot more than just a convenience. It’s a necessity. I think it would be safe to say no one in Texas has ever had to spend a night in their car due to a traffic jam like I once did in Japan. However, if you have made a trek down south recently you might feel like we are not too far behind a sleepless night in the minivan. Beyond all of those reasons to have high speed rail is the fact that Japan’s rail system is safe, reliable and efficient. It gets you from Point A to Point B on time. If the train is supposed to leave at 12:08 p.m., the doors shut exactly at that time and the train starts moving. Arrival timing is just as precise. Additionally, the ride is stress free and with limited hassle. Train seats are not cramped like those tiny economy seats found on airlines. Computer plugs and Wi-Fi are the norm. Boarding is simple and automatic — no TSA employees yelling at you or train conductors forcibly removing you from your seat. If you miss a train, another comes along in
about 30 minutes. An extremely smooth track system makes turbulence an afterthought. There is even a bar car that serves beer at your leisure, not at the mercy of a cranky flight attendant. You may have heard of the Texas Bullet Train. Texas Central Partners, a Texas-based private company, is taking on one of the largest transformational projects our state has seen in a long time. The Texas Bullet Train project is aiming to connect Houston with Dallas in a total travel time of less than 90 minutes. That means “super commuters” — those Texans who regularly travel between Dallas and Houston more than once a week — are chugging along at a top speed of 205 mph. Here is the good news: a little bit of Japan may be speeding into Texas. Texas Central will deploy Central Japan Railway Company’s (JRC) “N700-I Bullet” highspeed rail system also known as the “Shinkansen” system. The Shinkansen is the premier train system in the world, and hopefully Texans may soon get to know it well. Certainly there are many
YOUR STARS THIS WEEK by Stella Wilder
The coming week will see a great many individuals experimenting with new methods and tactics, eager to raise the bar and achieve more with each passing day. In some cases, even the intent will be new, an entire endeavor untested, or the goal perhaps uncertain. In any event, most will find that it is necessary to work in close connection with others. This means, of course, that careful scheduling and a high level of cooperation are required, even to get the littlest things done well. Now is no time for working alone or in a vacuum; even when a task is a solitary one, there are many others whose contributions are essential to its eventual success. Each individual must realize that there is more to be accomplished than his or her immediate workload, so the more one works with others, the better. Those in charge do not have to oversee every activity or development, but it will be important to keep an ear to the ground to be sure that nothing is slipping through the cracks, and that everyone is pulling their weight. Being the boss doesn't mean micromanaging; sometimes it's best to lead from a distance. TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You may benefit from a change of venue — or at least a rearrangement of familiar surroundings. You need some stimulation! (May 6-May 20) – You know what is on the line, but you also know that you cannot force anything that is
taking its sweet time. Let things develop organically. GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You're going to have to start somewhere, even if it means doing something you are not completely prepared for. You'll learn as you go. (June 7-June 20) – You may be unable to give someone all the information he or she needs, but perhaps you can fill in the blanks by demonstrating what can be done. CANCER (June 21-July 7) You may require an attitude adjustment at some point, as enthusiasm will take a hit when things don't go your way. (July 8-July 22) – You're taking things seriously enough, surely — but there are some who may still think that you're not really on the ball. You can and must prove otherwise. LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) Assess current needs carefully before heading down a road you have not traveled before. The unknown can present many very real dangers. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – Others may be ready to call it quits, but you have the feeling that success may actually be right around the corner. It's time to rally the troops! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You are eager to be elsewhere – but where, exactly? An old friend is likely to point out some clear indicators. (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – The
choices you face may not be very exciting, but you can trust that they are all viable options. Each can lead you down a promising path. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) You may have to compromise right out of the gate, and this may dampen your spirits somewhat until you see the gains it produces. (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – Quality time is essential! You don't want to let the hours simply tick by doing the same old routine things — especially with a loved one. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You will not know precisely what to do as the week opens, but if you watch what others are doing, you'll be able to devise a game plan. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – All that you do will be affected by what someone else is doing — and vice versa. Don't make the mistake of trying to hide things from each other when collaboration could be so beneficial! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) Others are eager to see if you will simply do what you are told — but that's not likely, is it? Assert your independence! (Dec. 8-Dec. 21) – You may have to keep an important piece of information from a loved one during the first part of the week, until he or she is really ready to take it in.

hurdles to cross before the Texas Bullet Train comes to fruition. Some impacted landowners are understandably wary of the project. Additional questions remain about the environmental impacts, and there are legislative hurdles down in keep it weird Austin. One of the biggest questions is will the train be profitable and more than a novelty? My take: If you take the bullet once, you’ll never drive or fly again. The current travel time between Houston and Dallas is about 5 hours and expected to creep up to 6.5 hours over the next decade. Texas needs transportation in the form of something other than a traffic jam or a completely jammed plane. A Bullet Train makes sense for those Dallas to Houston travelers who don’t want to put up with the hassle of driving or dealing with airlines. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wondered what bluebonnets look like at 205 mph along I-45. Joe Ruzicka is a retired Naval Aviator and F-14 Tomcat RIO.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – You will be in a position to call the shots at least some of the time, so you must be prepared with a clear vision and a solid plan. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may find that you are not in a very advantageous position as the week opens. You can work your way out of this jam with careful maneuvering. (March 6-March 20) – You are waiting for someone else to take the lead, but he or she is waiting for you to do the same. You are in a better position, so it's up to you! ARIES (March 21-April 4) You may realize that yes, indeed, everything does happen for the best — at least during the first part of the week. (April 5-April 19) – You may be ready to move on, but a former loved one is trying to hold you back. You understand his or her reasons, but right now you must do what is best for you.

O REILLY cont'd from page 1 spoon in his mouth — and through his brain stem. “Everything in the book, except for the actual crimes, is true,” O’Reilly said at the time. He’d been chronicling his own TV news career ever since those early days at WFAA. “I started keeping diaries every day of what happened to me and the crazy things I saw, with an idea that someday this stuff is going to be golden,” O’Reilly said. After anchoring the syndicated “Inside Edition” for six-and-a-half years, until March 1995, he had six months to kill before beginning classes at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. Dear diary, it’s time to seize the day. “It was either go to the beach or bang out a book,” said O’Reilly, who likes to get to the point quickly. “I didn’t want to do a whining, oh-it’s-a-terrible business book. I mean, guys out collecting garbage aren’t going to feel sorry for some national anchorman whining about how tough life is. So I figured I’d write a thriller.” As with his latter string of bestselling “Killing” books, O’Reilly was not big on undue exposition. “The reason I’ve been successful in every venue I’ve been in is because I speak for blue-collar America,” he said. “I think that way, I write that way. I don’t spend four pages describing the lampshade. I move it along, and people respond to that.” He had barely warmed up. “I’m getting standing ovations in local

the hours afterwards. Intense and vigorous exercise keeps your body burning calories hours after the workout is through. And this is not the only benefit to HIIT workouts — there’s also the bonus of increased muscle tone, fat loss and an increase in your aerobic capacity. Keep this in mind the next time you push yourself through a workout. Remember that intensity pays off, and a HIIT workout has more proven benefits than a steady-state cardio workout.

newsrooms around the country,” O’Reilly crowed. “They’re telling me to write another one quick. Kill more people! Fifty percent of people in television news management are what I call morally challenged. They will do whatever they believe Ed Bark they have to do to survive or prosper. And a lot of people get hurt . . . It’s like the Nazi Party. You have all these people trying to get up there so they can do whatever they wanna do. I’m not equating television executives with Nazis. But it’s the same kind of ‘I want to rule’ mentality. I don’t think the business could get any more ruthless. Not unless Murder Inc. is going to buy a chain of television stations.” O’Reilly likely didn’t get any standing ovations while at WFAA in Dallas. At last October’s Dallas VideoFest panel, “How the News Got Made,” producer John Sparks and photographer John Jenkins both delighted in puncturing O’Reilly after attendees saw a clip of him interviewing then 14-year-old ventriloquist Jeff Dunham and one of his dummies, Monty. Jenkins said he also filmed O’Reilly’s first story at WFAA, in which he boasted that he could shoot and score against a Dallas Blackhawks goalie. “He didn’t even come close,” Jenkins recalled. “And it was embarrassing.” Sparks said he once approached the station’s late, legendary news director, Marty Haag, and asked him, “Chief, where did you get this guy?” Haag supposedly replied, “Well, give him a chance.” “We gave him a chance, all right,” Sparks added. “Tracy Rowlett decked him in the news room.” Jenkins remembered trying to break it up. Reached later, Rowlett remembered that he indeed “took a poke at O’Reilly, but don’t recall if I connected before (photographer John) Gudjohnsen, Jenkins and maybe others jumped between us.” O’Reilly had been “claiming credit for work done by others, and I called him on it,” Rowlett contended. “He was easily the most disliked person I ever saw in any news room.” Haag eventually suspended O’Reilly, who soon relocated to a Denver TV station before his career took off at Fox News Channel. At age 67, he’ll now have even more time to write his books, count his money and declare himself not guilty of anything except afflicting the pompous and telling his own brand of the truth.
