Fox News Will Pay Bill O'Reilly Up to $25 Million After Firing Him
------------------------------------------------------------------

In media news, former Fox News star Bill O'Reilly will receive a payout
of about $25 million-equivalent to one year's salary-after he was fired
on Wednesday amid revelations that over a half-dozen women accused him
of sexual harassment. O'Reilly's payout follows a $40 million severance
package paid to former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes last year, after he was
accused of sexual harassment by more than 20 women.
