2017-10-24T13:14:59-07:00Trevor Noah: Fox News Goes Easy on Bill O'Reilly After Sexual Harassment Claimsclass="p1">
When movie producer Harvey Weinstein was accused of multiple counts of sexual harassment and assault, the conservative Fox News network spent plenty of time calling him all kinds of extremely vicious names. But when its own Bill O'Reilly, host of the Fox's The O'Reilly Factor, was accused of very similar behavior, the network offered him a lucrative contract extension. Only after O'Reilly's behavior became public knowledge did Fox scale back its relationship with him, and even then, O'Reilly has been welcomed back on Fox News. It's pretty blatant hypocrisy, and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah couldn't let it go unnoticed.
