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 . As for O'Reilly ; it should be a warning to the famous and the wealthy to guard their honor and maintain their virtue .

I watched him.....like a blind pig......go after acorns and find them. For all the WRONG reasons. I watched him trash Barney Frank.....but never gave a clue as to any solid knowledge or reasons as to what Frank should be trashed for. There were many but he never got it

No loss to Fox.

BOR....was exposed to me....when he swore up and down that the media was NOT biased.

He soft balled Obama too many times....Glad he's gone.

That all said....I watch about zero News T.V.

They are pretty much dead...to me.

Hear! Hear! I agree and echo your every word!

"The spin stops here because we're looking out for you." Har. BOR forgot to look out for himself!

Bill O'Reilly should have never settled. Big mistake. Yuge. Never surrender. Never retreat.

When Roger Ailes was let go (fired) that should have signaled BOR that his days were numbered and maybe it did, but he sure didn't take preventative measures, IMHO.

I'm sure everyone has noticed that FNC no longer posts an e-mail address for complaints to the management.

After what happened to Ailes last year, the handwriting was on the wall.

The sexual harassment issue has been a persistent one for O’Reilly.

We are all accountable for our actions at the end of the day.

But politics and payback is on the table as well.

Nixon covered up for his men in the 1970’s but was forced out by his enemies.

O’Reilly, who is GOP Establishment to me, was hated by the Left just the same and is just another notch on their belts.

Amazing that a tv guy with no real power gets canned over this and Bill Clinton could stay in office.

I came to FR today to see if there is any truth to Bannon being ousted and find this! Holy mother lode. They are firing this ratings hog? Are they out of there mind? So what stops someone from going after Hannity or Tucker next with such claims?

I thought “It's only sex.” with the liberals. I guess not. Suckers who support this move by Fox.

If they now dump Juan Williams and Dana Parino, that would be fantastic. Especially with Carlson going to 8 and The Five to 9 p.m. Guess they get Waters, should be good. Who gets Tucker’s old spot?

Look no farther than the Murdoch sons who want Ailes loyalists gone and run Fox News how they want.

Media Matters, NYT and friends spewed their poison. Advertisers demanded BOR’s removal in response to MM, NYT, et al. Fox News caved to the loss of their ad revenue.

It seems to me the bad guys are the advertisers who listened to Brock’s propaganda. Anyone have a list?

It is amazing to me that Fox News would dump O'Reilly I can't believe that anyone would say such utter nonsense. If you or I had done what he did ONCE at our places of work, we would have been shown the door, no severance pay, no golden parachute. Imagine if your daughter was the one he decided to harass. What would you do? Probably go hunting....

I recall orielly flat out lying about Freerepublic on more than one occasion.
He was referred to as “O’Really” for awhile afterwards.

Rational people better pay attention. O’Reilly bites the dust but the liberal progressives trumped up the charge to get O’Reilly off the air.

help me kill foxnews- here is how. I could give 3 sh*ts about orielly he has been a bolivating bastard for about 10 years now however all of my brothers kids love him - he appeals to the folks and the young wonks. I have no idea what has happened and he seems rather porno as I have said before perhaps not here - for the record i think bill is a ASS!

Anyhow screw him now is a chance to correctly poison the minds of all his young fans. And rightly so.

Foxnews has never cared about America as families do they cared about as a corporation does - loveless, continual and monotonous - this is the falacy of good and bad comanies but I digress.

This is an opportunity - to not view it as propaganda that can be used and argue about the validity of the decision is to relegate oneself to being a spectator when a cultural civil war is occuring.

As to Bill himself, he will be just fine and is a self serving arrgogant jealous POS just read his book The Oreilly Factor

I find it funny that the part that he talks about president Trump - long before any attempts at a nomination, reform or otherswise, an episode of he and then Mr. Trump walking togther avec entourage and being called out. It was Bill's misinterpretation of the events and how he cataloged them in the book that was one of the key reasons on why Trump won - Bill didn't see it the book because of one egomanic being jealous of what turns out to be the Alpha Male.

The secret is simple - Americans like Trump because Trump love America - not on its good days but everyday.

Oh by the way FUBO - I mean what an outrage, can you imagine. So glad they balance him out with Sheppard Smith (okay that was the tequilla talking - lighten up )

Really sad, that Fox dumps their best man on the presumption of guilt.
The man brought the network hundreds of millions of dollars Had the best raitings anywhere, and was still gaining more viewers even as he was accused of sexual harassment.

Fox’s new owners just shot himself in the foot. How are we the viewers suppose to trust a network that presumes its own lead men guilty.

They should have fought it out in court, to prove bills innocence or guilt, and even then I don’t see how that has anything to do with his job.

You can do a great job leading a highly successful industry and still be unpleasant for some people to work with. People can’t naturally have a ‘right’ to a pleasant work place. If they did nobody would do any dirty or unpleasant jobs.

It is also evident by the way Bill O’Rielly had top Ratings that were only going higher still even as he was being charged with this that the vast majority of his viewers either don’t believe the charges or simply don’t care.

Thus Fox just shot itself in the foot, because its new management cares more about a bunch of disputed claims and people’s supposed feelings than actually doing a good job with the news.

Personalty I couldn’t care less if he did the things theses people said he did. Bill is still very good and successful at his job, and the work place is not a place for feeling at home. Its a place where you need a thick skin, if you don’t have that you got no business in the news business.

If this is the new attitude at fox im done with them.
