Bill O Reilly Sexual Harassment

Everyone that watches T. V has heard of the big scandal between Bill O'reilly sexual harassment case and Fox News, Should Fox be held liability for Bills actions? Overall every Company have an obligation to make a harassment free workplace for its employees, and unwanted behavior doesn't necessary have to be sexual. A company is liable if the harassment is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in adverse employment actions such as the victim being fired, demoted, or transferred.

Fox News is a well-known profitable cable business ranking number 51 on
Mainstream media Such as Fox new becomes consume covering up sexual harassment because of the high profile cases such as Bill O’Reilly. Sexual harassment was become a taboo topic on various TV shows, and on some major morning radio talk shows mostly every day. There are laws in order to fix what has become a serious problem today in the workplace. Fox News and Bill had a Fiduciary relationship, and in that relationship the purpose of these is that one benefits the other. Bill brought in millions of viewers from his hit show “The O'Reilly factor” and Fox news gave him a pretty paycheck. By law in Fiduciary relationship, high standards are required from the principle Fox News , to the Agent, Bill O’Reily. There is special confidence given to Bill in return they expect him to act in good faith putting his own needs (harassing other women) aside in order to benefit the brand. Agents have fiduciary duty of care their principals. One of those duties is to act in appropriate behavior, an agent may not engage in inappropriate behavior that reflects badly on the principals (Samuelson). And the rule also applies to off duty conduct, so even if the sexual harassment was not with the same women he worked with, he still has a duty.

In fairness in that comes from the women suing and how much money they could get for their suffering. They would get more money from the Forbes list #51 world's company, rather than a single person, although he has a lot of money himself. I would say it would a 70/30 ratio. Fox New is sued for 70% and Bill get sued for the other 30%. This may not seem fair seeing how Bill himself commit the tort, but Fox News had to many of opportunity to step in and stop these, but reduced to negligent the innocent women. Fox News are the agent and Bill is the prevalent unfortunate money talks and with Bills prestige will;; still probably be high. Many americans will still follow him everywhere he goes despite this allegations. True justice will not be served to them women because of this, the women will be looked as less than or like they have done something wrong form speaking up again sgt him. They would rather them be quiet so they can countrie to watch their beloved “ The O'reilly factor”
