Bill O'Reily forced out of Fox News!

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/19/business/media/bill-oreilly-fox-news-allegations.html?action=Click&contentCollection=BreakingNews&contentID=65181472&pgtype=Homepage

Rumors were apparently true.

Will his next book be called "Killing My Career"?

lol

/thread

Arrogance only takes you do far in life.

At the end of the day though, he'll be laughing all the way to the bank as he backs in the truck. Get fired for nefarious actions and rake in large sums of money. WOW. Him and Cosby should get together.

Keeping him made it look like Fox condoned his alleged actions, so giving him the boot was the best option.

I'm just wondering how much of a severance package he will end up getting.

Ok, i know we get into it, but this is probably the best thing I've ever seen in these forums.

you win.

And?

I am confused as to why this is big news.

He had the biggest and most popular news segment on tv. It's kind of a big thing?

Paraphrasing of course but "Fox News and Bill O'Reilly agree"......

Shouldn't the decision be that of the the company and only the company (shot callers) rather than a host who allegedly harassed individuals?

Im still waiting for "**** it, we'll do it live!"

And?

Again i fail to see why it´s a big news story.

I would understand if it meant he was gone forever and never had a chance to get back on the air.

He could probably sit down make a youtube channel and within a month he would have more people viewing then he ever did on fox.

Doubt it.

He had so many books and his show wow. Good thing he was outed. That's disgusting.

I would bet on it.

The whole idea of actual tv channels is old.

After all just look at Tomi Lahren.

Fox made the right decision.

What's this, another one of those "family values" Republicans heralded as a shining example of conservatism? I am shocked, shocked I tell ya!

Yeah, i'm shocked kinda, only because there has been rumors for a week or two.

He's a Republican? Since when?

OH, hey, look! It's one of those "Let's pretend O'Reilly isn't a Republican" replies. Ugh...

Hey look, it's an alt!

Allergic to facts I see.

Aaaaaand he keeps beating that drum. Wow...

Dude is a creep.

Good riddance.

Praise the sun!

Well Trump just defended him a week or two ago. Wonder when we'll get the 180 on that.

Tell me this is a joke post. O'Rielly is a well known as a hard right commentator....

First Roger Ales, then Milo, now O'Rielly. It seems the biggest conservative mouth pieces are all a bunch of sexual weirdos.

He's the flagship of Fox News and the most watched News Entertainment show...it's huge news everywhere right now and you damn well know this.

Are you trying to down play this because you got all your talking points from him? Well, there's always Milo...oh wait...haha. You guys gotta start picking better people to follow.

I agree with you. This is crazy huge. Fox News is reporting it but trying to bury it.

It's not their main story and it's kind of off to the side. Kind of hilarious.

does his books really sell

At least he actually deserved it, unlike Tomi Lahren.

Going to miss the guy in a certain way. It takes quite the man to argue the existence of a god with, 'Tides go in, tides go out. You can't explain that!'

Please stay active Bill!

lol

This was my exact response when my buddy broke the news to me this morning.

He will be missed.

o'reily's biggest problem is his core demographic is what, 75 years old on average? how much longer did fox really expect him to have an audience?

IIRC, the average Fox viewer is a single citizen. it's not just Bill with that problem.

This is terrible.

Millions of conservative, old, white American males that sat at home and did nothing are going to suddenly not have a show to sit in front of for hours per day. I wonder what they're going to do now. Activism? Take to the streets? Million Grouch March?

I kid. Good riddance to bad rubbish, guy was a bully and worth nothing beneficial. I hope no other network picks him up and, without the support of FOX, the various ladies he has raped, assaulted, and otherwise messed with pick him apart.

He is worth around 75 mil, but he seems like the type that can't live out of the spot light.

Interesting, only 75 million? The guy more or less built FOX News into what is now, arguably earned Fox hundreds of millions (if not billions) over the course of his career, I'd like to think he was worth more.

Hell even I found him entertaining a good chunk of the time, if only to broaden my horizons a bit.

Yeah we will probably see him back at it soon. Guy like him will go through that money fast.

@mrbojangles25: Glen Beck survived his exile, well it wasn't for sexual harassment. O'Riley is going to burn all that money. I can't imagine the industry taking him seriously.

Why is anyone surprised? He's been a well known sexual predator for at least 20 years.

His own children testified against him for abusing and assaulting his ex wife.

Damnnit, where am I going to go for my "no spin" zone?

Birds of a feather flock together, eh Bill? Go seek solace with Trump, you two can relate.

O'Reilly, will be missed. He was better than anyone on the other networks. He lost his job because of allegations, nothing proven. Companies would rather pay off people that make allegations than go to court and defend themselves. The lawyers always make out. That is probably why I detest lawyers.

You are such a gem.

He isn't wrong.

Which part?

Just allegations.

The sexist remark that is being touted on CNN is so much crap it is unbelievable. He said to Powers when he got her name wrong that there were so many blonds around he could not keep the names strait. She is claiming it was very sexist. Bull crap. If you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen. This same person stated in 2014 the he was not a sexist.
