It’s not often that the words “gay pornography” appear in The New York Times, let alone on its front page. (A quick nytimes.com search reveals that the phrase last appeared on Oct. 23, 2016today’s the one-year anniversary!in a “What’s on TV” story that briefly mentioned “a low-budget, all-male variation of sorts on ‘Boogie Nights'” starring Christian Slater and James Franco.) Anyway, per Steel and Schmidt,
In response to questions about why he sent sexually explicit material to Ms. Wiehl, Mr. O’Reilly said that during his time at the network, he had been sent threatening messages almost every day, including some that had obscene material. To deal with this problem, Mr. O’Reilly said, he set up a system in which the material would be forwarded to his lawyers so they could evaluate whether he needed to take any legal action. Mr. O’Reilly said Ms. Wiehl was among those lawyers.
