Fox was the reason I got cable tv back in 96. I always hated the idea of paying for programming that was constantly insulting me. Funny now that if just might be the reason I finally cancel.

The Five @ 9 is a bad move. Better to move Hannity to 9 and give 10 to Watters or existing/new talent.

14 years ago he was on top of the world.

#1 rated TV show.

Hit book after hit book. Basically he was the face of Fox News.

Even a talk radio show that was besting Limbaugh in the ratings in a few markets.

Now....poof.

the liberals get another antifree speech scalp

the only way to rectify this is to put someone in who is more conservative

some have said mark steyn, he would be great

Can't say I'll miss Bill O'Reilly. He done us wrong in 2007.

Conservative enough. Fair and tough, like a feminine, more pleasant Megyn Kelly.

When Megyn began alienating Fox viewers after August 2015, I noticed Regan began subbing for her. Fresh faced, younger, and enthusiastic, I figured she was on the short list for Megyn’s inevitable replacement.

That line up is a loser. The nine o clock hour has one sane thinker, two comedian wanna bees, one wise guy, a RINO, a drunk, and a PBS cast off. Wow, might as well have bought the View.

My bet is Hannity is hanging by a thread given his association with DJT.

But he sure is far better than Shep Smith and those at CNN/MSNBC. Today Shep had a tantrum over Ivanka.

Sorry but you are wrong. O’Reilly got himself sacked. The NY Times was not doing anything wrong by pointing out that the has a serious record of behavioral issues towards women. And frankly I’m getting a bit tired of people on FR, who should know better, assuming he was the victim of some kind of hit when it’s fairly obvious and has been known for years that Bill is a cad.

We need to stop defending people like this just because they say stuff we like on TV or because it is an opposition newspaper that is the first to step up and actually print the unpleasant truth about the man.

It is amazing to me that Fox News would dump O'Reilly , and preserve Shepherd Smith , who has become the voice and the face of anti-Trump sarcasm on Fox

Murdochs sons are out to ruin the "conservative" nature of FOX NEWS, you would think they were puritans or something. Dumping Ailes was bad enough but now the top show? Maybe they haven't noticed that in the last US election we had Trump vs Billory, seems this "all men are rapists" feminist BS hasn't sold very well on this side of the pond, and don't get me started on JFK. We are in the slowrolling end days of the only US network to even give conservatives a fair shot, sigh!

OAN is easily the top true news station for Americans.

Totally stupid! Does Fox News have a death-wish?

Nothing is proven. They are getting rid of O’Reilly, who has been the No 1 show on cable TV for years, based on some allegations.
