Apparently, neither does O'Reilly. Tonight, his show promises us a special report on “sexy snow angels,” which apparently consists of “sultry skiers” and “steamy snowboarders,” aka female Olympic athletes, who posed in, you guessed it, bikinis for Sports Illustrated. Take a look:
Flashback to 2007: Laura Ingraham was a guest on O'Reilly, and she really took O'Reilly and Fox News to task for its penchant of gratuitously airing video of half-naked women. Ingraham rightly argued: “I don't know if there's a rampant midlife crisis going on on this network among the male anchors, but I can tell you that my female listeners are saying ... what is the purpose? ... You can talk about cultural issues and cultural debates without running the constant loop of this video.” The segment concluded with O'Reilly vowing, “No more bikinis! They're over,” and promising to "[n]ever again" air images of, in Ingraham's words, women with “hands over the boobs.”
Not surprisingly, this was a promise O'Reilly had absolutely no intention of keeping.
