As he said, no one even complained anonymously.

Hit job, but also a business decision.

Regardless of what you think about O’Reilly, this is going to prove to be a bad decision for Fox. FOX equals the new CNN.

RE:”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.”

No doubt that arrogant old windbag brought it on himself.

Notice that the other male show-hosts on FNC don't have these problems.

BOR should go to MSNBC where the lib wimmin are really ugly and there is little temptation.

Case and point:

Bill O was right more often than not and he was good at commentary. But it sounds like he had behavior issues that should have gotten him sacked a long time ago. In any case he has lots of money so I don’t expect to see him on public relief anytime soon. Tucker is a good choice to fill the time slot.

After awhile I stopped watching Carlson also. With his furrowed brow, he comes across as a bit cynical and seems to argue against his Right-friendly guests sometimes, not unlike the way Kelly did.

Oh no..... what will his premium members do now? They are so screwed.

Now he'll have all the time in the world to crank out more of his crappy books. Good riddance.

Big mistake. No matter how you feel about O'Reilly, this means that the NYT and CNN have succeeded in getting rid of their biggest competition on Fox. They must be celebrating tonight. Fox has lost our house. Will still watch Fox Business occasionally, but can't bear the thought of watching The Five during the evening, or Tucker in Bill's slot -- neither can hold a candle to O'Reilly. Didn't always agree with Bill, but his show was excellent. Fox has nowhere to go but down from here. The NYT ran a huge, negative story about Bill every day for a couple of weeks. They won.

Trish Regan at 9. Watch. I predicted it.


I have never watched her. Is she conservative?

Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, et al, should round up their pals, partner up with every conservative TV advertiser, host, director, producer, news reader, announcer, cameraman/woman, etc. etc., and start a REAL Conservative TV News Network!

As for me, FOX News will NEVER be allowed in my home again!

BOYCOTT THE MURDOCKS, FOX NEWS AND EVERY COMPANY THAT PULLED ITS O’REILLY ADVERTISING!

IF WE REAL CONSERVATIVES WORK TOGETHER, WE CAN BANKRUPT THE MURDOCKS, FOX NEWS AND EVERY ONE OF THEIR PUSILLANIMOUS ADVERTISERS!

THIS IS WAR!

WHO WILL BE THE NEXT CONSERVATIVE TV HOST TO FALL VICTIM TO THE LIEBERAL ESTABLISHMENT’S ODORIFEROUS LIES AND ACCUSATIONS?

HANNITY?

TUCKER?

WATTERS?

WHO?

You actually kept cable because of Bill O'reilly? I'm sorry, but that's just pathetic and lame.

His replacement is Jesse Ventura.

Strange “math” indeed! How the mighty have fallen! I’m always wary of any sexual harassment charge... as it’s a fave tactic of the Left against non-Lefties (O’Reilly is more old Truman Democrat than conservative). So I wonder what the truth and reality are? Wonder how his long-time loyal fans will react?

Maybe if Bill O. changes his name to Clinton if he could skate on this... two Bill Clintons now, both immune from sexual harassment charges. Gets curiouser and curiouser don’t it!?!

On the other hand, he seemed clueless when it came to the unconstitutional portion of the federal government and was tone deaf when it came to understanding the benefits of the free market.


Yes, that was frustrating to watch.

The old saying I was taught (and crude it is) still applies. It is one I never forgot. This was just bravado, arrogance and stupid, IMO.

I bet they put a woman in that time allotment. Please not P-RINO. Ingraham I could take but don’t think she could hold up for weeks on end.

They are NOT going to put a 100% right thinking person there, they want some diversion to draw in an audience....remember, it is about turning on sets, not presenting one line. I shutter to think what that may mean if they take it to extremes. The Murdocks are liberal assh...s so anything is possible.
