"After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the Company and Bill O’Reilly have agreed that Bill O’Reilly will not be returning to the Fox News Channel,” 21st Century Fox said in a statement.

Earlier this month, it was disclosed that O’Reilly and Fox had paid settlements for sexual harassment complaints made by women he’d worked with at Fox over the years."

The biggest scam O'Reilly ever pulled is fooling people into thinking he was conservative. He was an authoritarian nutjob. Fiscally liberal and socially conservative he sought government/church control of every aspect of public life.

Between this and the anti-Trump stuff during his run, I'm almost concerned that Fox might one day become a legitimate news source. Who'll we make fun of then?

1 down 325 to go. Back to their hole these guys will go.

 

[VRAMdemon]

Wait a minute. Is Faux thinking of letting him go while he is on the vacation that he scheduled last fall? shocking!

I wondered where Bill-O could go on vacation without being recognized and excoriated by his fellow citizens. I'm surprised he chose Italy. He must have worn a false black moustache and Chico Marx hat in an attempt to blend in. And he read once back in the early 1960s that it was customary to pinch women's ass's whilst strolling along the Via Veneto.

Shit, he will be on his own dime to pay his future victims.

They're just moving up a younger cadre- Hannity, Coulter & huge gaggle of wannabees out there in talk radio land.

Bill will be fine- he's now rich & will be a hit on the talking heads circuit of the right wing.

And he'll always be an obnoxious dick.

One of the late night guys after the "grab them by the _____" thing and Billy was fired said that the standards of the 4th hour of the Today show are higher than they are for running for President. I guess you can now add that the standards for Fox News are higher than they are to be the President.

 

[Commodus]

Just waiting for one of our resident right-wing diehards to claim that this is somehow a tragedy and a witch hunt, and that settling numerous sexual harassment allegations for millions of dollars isn't evidence of shady behavior.

Here's hoping that Hannity, Carlson and others also have shady histories waiting to be unearthed...

You won't hear from them because they don't watch fox news. That's what they always say, anyway.

Bill O'Riley and Al Franken clash. The fireworks start about 4:00 min into this video.

 

[Pens1566]

Question now should be "what took so long". Also, preemptive prediction of defense tweet from Casino Mussolini.

 

[HomerJS]

Yet the loyal lemmings will continue to believe the bullshit that spews from Fox News. You people have no principles.

 

[UNCjigga]

I wonder how much he got paid to leave...

 

[Pens1566]

And I bet Al Franken is smiling.

 

[Pens1566]

On a brighter note for Bill-O, hey, he can now run for president!

 

[brycejones]

I wonder how much he got paid to leave...

Probably more than his victims.

 

[Homerboy]

Remember just two short weeks ago when The President of the United States and leader of the free world supported him and defended him?

That was awesome.

No, judging by all his positions he's pretty conservative, which is why he topped the fox news lineup.

 

[UberNeuman]

Bill is already writing his new book " Killing those fuckin' whore bitches that ratted me out" - Vol 1.

 

[sandorski]

The wheels are falling off the "Conservative" machine. It appears so anyway.

 

[Triloby]

And nothing of value was lost.
