Thanks....

I don’t particularly like Bill O, but I think it’s only fair to wait and see what he has to say about all of this before believing the NYT, Gloria or her spawn of satan, Lisa Bloom-ing idiot.

What evidence do you have that the allegations against these men are true?

Care to share?

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.

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

There it is. This isn’t about sexual harassment; it’s about taking Fox to the left of CNN.

That’s it exactly. Ailes, Greta, O’Reilly, Hannity is next. In a year you will not recognize Fox.

Thank you. That’s quite an interesting list. I’d forgotten most of them.

BOR’s lawyer has already denied all of this. I’m thinking what’s been happening while he’s been on vacation is they’ve been negotiating his separation terms. Probably includes his not suing News Corp although I think someone should be sued.

I agree. He has lot of accountability in his fate. His mouth, his sexist comments, jokes, etc. I stopped watching him. When women are on his show he constantly interrupts them and never lets them finish a thought. He was rude and brash.

I did read several of his books and thought they were really good. Killing Lincoln, Kennedy and Patton.

"With all the publicity the payouts to the women he hits on would be going up sharply.

Yeah.... What ever you do, don't hit on any women.... It's getting to the point where it's now considered rude if you fart in the toilet.....

FNC made a huge mistake. This was an organized take down. It started April 1 with the NYT article, followed by 50 companies withdrawing their ads and leftwing demonstrators in front of the FNC HQ. Look at the protesters and their signs.
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new-bill-o-reilly-accuser-street-protests-hit-fox-news-n747966

And here are the new BS allegations:

Attorney Lisa Bloom announced Tuesday that she is representing a new client who is accusing O’Reilly of “sexual and racial harassment.”

Bloom did not reveal the identity of the new client but said that she called the hotline Fox News set up last week to investigate claims against O’Reilly.

The attorney told The Hollywood Reporter that her client was called “hot chocolate” by O’Reilly and “was afraid if she told him to knock it off she'd get fired.”

Tucker at 8pm and Hannity at 10PM good line-up. Now, I would love to see 9pm with the old “Hannity & Colmes” or “Equal Time” style format OR Judge Jeannine at 9pm.

RE:”I’m going to say what I always say
We have way too many ignorant stupid people on this forum who mean well but shoot off emotive and lemminglike
It’s sad
And I don’t like OButthead but folks here should read up what happened
He was the target of an orchestrated take down by the left and fembot...same thing”

O Reilly finally got it because he was a serial harrasser, no matter how many of them FNC bribed to stay quiet BOR figured his ratings would let him get away with another.

In his sick head he probably thought his ratings should get him those young hot FNC cuties in his bed.

Problem is the average female BOR viewer (Groupie) was probably 55-65 and he didnt want them.

After watching BOR for many years, I’m sure he was equally a jerk to men as he was to women. I may be wrong and it ends up like Bill Cosby, but I seriously think this was a serious hit job.

Besides the huge amounts of $$$ that he paid different ones (a least 5) over the years to drop it, and for them to NOT show us more evidence?(like in a court of law)

Your (and Bill’S) argument is like the criminal who pleads guilty then argues that he was framed,

As I said, I don’t know whether he’s guilty or not.

Neither do you.

We know (well, at least we’re TOLD) that he paid off women so that they wouldn’t come out with a bunch of garbage and ruin his career. He’s rich. I can well imagine that, innocent or not, he felt it was easier to pay them off and get them to go away rather than risk his career. If so, it was probably a really bad choice. But it is NOT proof of guilt.
