On Sean Hannity's radio show, sexual predator Bill O'Reilly weighs in on Chris Cuomo's journalistic ethics

Citation From the December 1, 2021, edition of Premiere Radio's The Sean Hannity Show
BILL O'REILLY (GUEST): But look at this Chris Cuomo thing, and I saw your comments about Cuomo -- that you believe in second chances, and I thought that was very charitable. Cuomo gets caught up in something that he had no idea, he was trying to help his brother, okay. But essential Journalism 101 -- and I have a masters degree in journalism, okay -- essential Journalism 101 is if you are personally involved in any story, you recuse yourself, just like he should --
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Here's -- here's what I would argue me on this --
O'REILLY: Wait, wait, here me out on this.
HANNITY: No, I'm listening to you.
OREILLY: Okay, so number one: Chris Cuomo, who's not a journalist, okay? He doesn't recuse himself, but even worse than that, his company doesn't walk in and say, "You can't cover your brother. You can't, so it's not going to be permitted." The company should have done that --
HANNITY: Let me interject this, Bill. The difference, you see, I think Chris is a talk show host like I am, but I think he calls himself a journalist. I think he may even believe it. He's not.
O'REILLY: He's not. Look, he worked at ABC after he worked at Fox. I remember him coming into my office and -- and I like him. Alright, came into my office, very respectful, sat down, said, "Look, I got an offer to go to ABC News to do X, Y and Z. I like it at Fox. I'm learning a lot. You know, what would you do?" Because I had worked at ABC as a correspondent for two years.
And you know, I gave him, as I would give anyone, the best advice I could give him. But it is clear to me that Chris Cuomo was in the business of celebrity -- trying to get famous, trying to make money rather than digging around trying to break stories. That's what real journalists do. They try to find out facts that the American people don't know. Is that going on anywhere? Not much.
