Jesse Watters is Repugnant but I felt sorry for him today

Channel switching, came across him on Faux, and they were complaining about
people working from home.

He was of course being a dick, he then told the story, how when he was first working for
Bill Oreilly, his wife had a baby, and he asked for Paternity leave from Bill.

He said Bill said "Why, so you can watch a baby spit up?"
'
He said, he never took paternity leave, he worked fourth of july's, new years eve,
holidays and even missed family funerals.

I was thinking, man in decades, he is going to look back at his life, and regret missing
all those events for Bill Oreilly.

He is not self aware to look backwards and regret not being a good father, son, and husband.

He will look back at his bank account and the hours he spent on tv and consider it all worth it.


Sociopathic piece of shit.

17. Watters lies so much it's impossible to know if this is even true.

Is it true that he wanted holidays off and was denied them?

Is it true that he even wanted them off?

Who knows. We can't believe a word he says.

2. Any of the main characters now at Fox News who might recover

some shred of decency, or just have second thoughts, decades from now might have some regrets. Especially if their toxic schtick is no longer profitable. It would be hard to feel sorry for them though. I'd still be thinking about the damage they've done.

a thank you card. Atleast they didn't have to be around him as much.

10. The man knew O'Reilly was a dick when he went to work for him and his job was to be a dick too.

you made a very conscious choice - about where your family ranked ...

and I don't think you can draw any clearer picture than what you just did.

...family got lucky! Bill O'Reilley's comment "Why, so you can watch a baby spit up?" is telling. Neither of them impress me as being good around children.

14. He receives zero sympathy from me. He is a massive POS who deserves the same respect he shows others which is none.
