While promoting his new manners book for children, Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly also gave a lesson in irony when he made snide comments about his colleague, Megyn Kelly.
In her new memoir, Settle for More, Kelly alleges that the former boss at Fox News, Roger Ailes, made unwanted sexual advances (he has denied the allegations). On Tuesday morning, while plugging Give Please a Chance, O'Reilly told CBS' Norah O'Donnell that he was "not interested in making my network look bad. At all. That doesn't interest me one bit." O'Donnell asked if that's what Kelly is doing with her book, and O'Reilly responded: "I don't know. But I'm not going to bother with it." O'Reilly — who did pay Kelly a compliment by saying she is a "smart woman" — said he has not read Settle for More, and that "it's a very tough book environment. We'll see if people respond to it."
