Bill O'Reilly fired from Fox News

[Trouty]

Never thought I'd say (type) those words.

Due to the sexual harassment allegations.

Yeah Boxer, dude has paid 13 million so far to the women alleging harassment, as well.

Hard to believe. Think a guy with his stature and education would be a lot smarter!! Think its a set up or for real. Roger Ailes left under very similiar circumstances.

Some say it's a set up, I don't know. There's a lot of women coming out. Ailes also had several women come out with claims, did he not, Boxer?

I think it would be hard to pull off something of that kind of magnitude with multiple people involved (i.e. conspiracy against O'Reilly/Ailes). If it were a single woman, sure... but a lot more difficult to do when there's several.

He should have been gone at the beginning of the process. The allegations have been there for a while. But Fox chose ad dollars the program brings in as opposed to doing what was right.

Yup, Mike. And as soon as 50 someodd advertisers pulled out, so did Fox ($$$)

Funny how that worked.

The advertisers "police" Fox better than Fox.

In Ailes case..you could understand it, if not condone it. Old guy chasing some hot TV type ladies. Don't know who O'Reilly was bothering...curious to know the circumstances.

Considering some of the stuff that has been happening at NBC it is not surprising that the publicity was fixated on Fox. They needed a distraction.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I think it was because of the stature in the public that is Bill O'Reilly more than anything. Dude is the biggest name in cable news. Of course this would garner publicity.

Clinton, Cosby, now O'Reilly. Hide your daughters from old guys named Bill.

Soros (and his billions) got his man.

I think he had the leading show for more than a decade, so a big win for Soros...who had made this a goal.

Like Don Imus... O'Reilly will never work again.

 

[Tabascocat]

No sweat Bill, just go write another book and make that $$$$

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Always that he was a bore. Use to watch his program years ago, but too pompous for my taste.
