Bill O'Reilly has been fired

[JollyRoger]

Is Bill O'Reilly a foxhole or is that what he considers his victims?

 

[GoodSarmatian]

I don't think Tucker is what he had in mind... maybe someone more like Mark Levin or Michael Savage

More like English speaking CGI Pinochet.

Unlike the White House, Fox has standards.

 

[Kyriakos]

Who do you have in mind, RomanKing?

The plan is to put Tucker Carlson in the spot, as I understand it.

Tucker is another cretin, and basically a younger version of Orly, no?

Anyway, this (whether Orly or Tuckerly) isn't journalism or a news show. It is just some angry guy trolling.

 

[Cutlass]

I'm glad O'Reilly is gone; he was Democrat-light. Hopefully FOX can bring in a real right winger now.

He's spent his entire career being a mouthpiece for fascists. And that's not far enough right for you?

 

[Broken_Erika]

The old far right is the new left.

LOL...Breitbart is running a piece headlined "Bill O'Reilly's secret; he's a centrist." The buffoons over there are eating it up. The alt-right is so desperate to believe they represent the mainstream majority that it never occurs to them that there is literally no one more extreme than they are.

The old far had it coming.

 

[Sommerswerd]

Not the first at Fox News, won't be the last. There must be something ingrained in the culture there. Perhaps we should send in the military.

I keep hearing on the news about old white men sexually harassing and assaulting women... So does that mean I'm justified in getting a gun and following around anyone who matches the description of "old white man" who I see in my neighborhood? ... Or no?

Also, do they need to be wearing a suit to sufficiently match the description? Or can I stalk them with my gun no matter what they wear?

Oh and what if they confront me? I can shoot them in self defense right?

Never watched him; I can't deal with TV talk shows. Advertisers will use this as an opportunity to do some virtue signalling and drop FOX. While the left licks that crap up, other advertisers will creep in. I can't really see the various left-wing networks picking up his viewers, so it's unlikely to impact FOX very much in the long run. They have no alternatives in cable news.

 

[Berzerker]

Abuser is a strong title for unproven allegations. Not to mention these days even asking a girl out or complimenting her can be considered "sexual harassment".

apparently he asked one gal out and when she declined his offer he informed her she wouldn't be making more appearances on his show

 

[onejayhawk]

I'm glad to see no one really cares much.

I think you're a closet alt-righter.

I wouldn't consider that sexual harassment. It's stupid but it shouldn't be illegal.

 

[sophie]

Yes we don't. But the sheer number of accusers is making a severe dent into that "family values" image. Also, during the presidential campaign many on the right (*cough*Trump*cough*) took the fact that Clinton had setteled an issue as proof that he had done something wrong. And that was AFAIK only one settlement.

Yeah, but Trump also pointed to the fact that he settled out of court over the housing discrimination suit as clear evidence that he did NOTHING WRONG, so....

Looking for consistency in Republican arguments is rather a pointless affair. Things justify their positions because they need them to, and don't when they need them not to.

Remember it only matters when a democrat dose it. extra martial affairs, wife beating, sexual assault.
The Deploreables dont care, it was the threat of all major advertisers bailing and economic cost that finally sank him

aka 'truthiness'

Maybe 'Stephen Colbert' should be replacing him after all

 

[RomanKing]

Colbert's career is heading down the same toilet as Larry Wilmore and that nobody who replaced Jon Stewart and destroyed the Daily Shoah.

You can visually see the venom boiling under little Colbert's skin and the fear in his eyes.

 

[Grisu]

yup, colbert's ratings are just terrible...oh wait.

 

[RomanKing]

Don't confuse managing to swirl the bowl a few more times with success. Colbert is a one trick pony and the SJW knee-jerk reactions are going to grow old the further along we get into Trump's presidency.
