Bill O'Reilly out at Fox

[spuwho]

Drudge was first to report it, but now the general press is reporting that O'Reilly is out at Fox.

Oddly, he is currently at the Vatican having an audience with the Pope while on vacation.

Seeking penance?

Glad to hear it.  He's a malevolent asshole.

I haven't been following this. So what did he do this time?

Sexual harassment of multiple women, that both he and the network reached settlements on.

Didnt always agree with him and I have read some of his books. But you cant treat people like that and expect nothing to change.

Using up and coming talent as your personal pimp service reeks of the old Hollywood casting couch days.

His defense was always, "no one has called HR to file a complaint".   

Look, if the only way you can snag a date is under the pretense of "professional development" then you need to lose 40 pounds and get a facelift and a personality.

Otherwise, do what Larry King did, marry someone and give the spouse such a large allowance to spend and a solid prenup, then it doesnt matter how old you are.

BTW, O'reilly does not have enough sense to write books.  A ghost writer actually did the work of research and writing.  The industry / publisher, and that idiot placed his name on the books because the average bimbo brained america television addict is impressed by all the ignorant assholes who happen to be on television. 

This arrogant fool was canned for sexual "stuff", but he should be executed, along with a few other right wing idiots responsible for the predicament into which our nation has fallen.  Am I bitter?  Fuck no. Just aware and angry.

Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, and others of their ilk are all just highly paid performance artists spouting whatever conspiracy theories, right-wing tripe, and fake news to sell time to advertisers who will buy time to sell their products to ignorant morons who eat-up their every word.   They have as little respect for these UFO spotters as I have for Fox.  That network has done more harm to this country than any ISIS follower could ever imagine doing.

It seems to be a trend Ron, think James Patterson. He isn't a writer anymore, he is merely a brand.  I met Patterson once, on Waikiki Beach of all places.

I have many friends who have turned into Fox News Zombies.  They sit around all day soaking-up the constant rightwing propaganda coming to them on Fox, and now hate anyone who doesn't agree with them.  I've seen one time great people who are now bitter weird, I'll believe anything Fox says, morons.  There are millions of them.  It's almost a cult.  Very sad.

Let's not forget O'Reilly also "allegedly" beat his then-wife: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/mar/2/bill-oreilly-loses-custody-of-his-children/

Glad vermin like him and Bill Cosby are exposed for who they are, even if it's much too late for their many victims.

You are an idiot.

[pierre]

Lets remember that Fox News did not let him go because of the millions paid out for multiple instances of sexual harassment. That has been known for years. He's out because the sponsors of the show were jumping ship at an alarming rate. This is about money, not morals.

And I do get a kick out of those preaching morals the loudest like O'Reilly having falls from grace.

That's what all the narrow minded Fox News watchers say.

That's me. I am the narrow minded person who thinks Fox News has not done more harm than ISIS.
