Bill O'Reilly Says Attacks are 'Horror Show'

Bill O'Reilly says he's being attacked for political purposes and that it's been a "horror show" for him and his family.

The former Fox News Channel host was interviewed by one-time colleague Glenn Beck on this weekend's story in The New York Times that Fox paid a $32 million settlement to a former legal analyst who had accused O'Reilly of harassment.

On Beck's radio show Monday, O'Reilly said that he could not discuss specifics about former analyst Lis Wiehl's case. He said the Times hates him and is intent upon keeping him out of the marketplace. There was no immediate comment from the newspaper.

O'Reilly also said that it was "incomprehensible" that his former colleague Megyn Kelly would speak out against him, saying that "I helped her dramatically" in her career.

He posted online an undated thank-you note Kelly had written to him for giving a gift at a baby shower.

O'Reilly was fired in April.
