Progressives won that one easily. Seems like he received no support at all from anyone.

So now it’s on to Hannity, Carlson and possibly Fox news channel at some point.

Oh and let’s not for get talk radio. Rush, Levin, Savage.

Laura I is a bellyaching ego driven bore. Puleeze.... O’Reilly has enough money to just start his own network. Eric bolling used to be good,he stinks anymore,and always acts like he is having his period now. This will be a disaster for Fox,but it has sucked ever since Murdock keeps marrying strange women,and puts his idiot sons in charge.

I’m a big fan of One America News. Tells the news like the old days. Except, the OAN definitely leans right which is great too. I’m finding that I will watch OAN instead of Fox because of their format. Most of all, OAN demands their guests to “answer” questions. Not like Fox (except for Hannity & Tucker) who allow their guests to spew virtually anything.

The whole concept of The Five was that it was on at five. At nine it is just five talking heads.

When he "quit" or lost his radio show..I thot it was his end.
What he does is basically good investigative reporting,,but his religious views a kid could put him to shame.
He needs to come clean, do his penance and move to CR TV.

1. Stuart Varney
2. Steve Doocey
3. James Rosen, Sharyl Atkinson
4. Tucker Carlson

Fox will take a huge ratings hit if they go nevertrump or lib in that slot. Libertarian might work.

I agree. CNN has been full of glee. It's to get rid of those not just on the right but also centrists such as BOR. When Letterman was caught for worse behavior, there were no widespread calls for his removal. And then there is Bill Clinton.

I'm wondering if Hannity will be next, perhaps be charged of being too conservative or not inclusive or upsetting snowflakes. We saw what happened to Judge Napolitano.

Agree with that. Although, I quit watching BOR the blowhard a long long time ago. His show was good in the beginning, but he got the big head and went left as time went on.

Still, Shep the dip needed to go a long time ago.

My favorite on Fox was always Tony Snow. I watch Fox business now - Lou Dobbs and Stuart Varney and Maria B.

The Five will apparently air at 9:00 pm (although there appears to be six, counting Jesse Watters). I don’t understand why Fox doesn’t put Hannity on at 9:00 and the Five or something else on a 10:00.

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

Agree completely.

Probably a temporary move for 9pm. The Five is The Six? Not a lot of thought went into this.

I’ve got a dumb question ...

Do any — and I mean any — of these harassment allegations have any facts behind them?

Or are these just more instances of “he said, she said.”

Someone set me straight on this.

Bill O’Reilly has never meant much to me one way or the other.

But “scandals” like these make me so happy I’m retired. It appears to me that vengeful women can just make up stories out of whole cloth — and “she said” will be taken as gospel.

I’m just glad I don’t have to work with younger women and their strange, paranoid attitudes.

Looks like Eric Bolling is on the skids too, after his four day gig in April. I liked the show he had on CNBC after market close in a Wall Street bar. Maybe he’ll go to Fox Biz with the other CNBC right wingers.

It’s a ruse; he’s out getting a necklift to remove his ever-increasing turkey wattle.

Political Correctness among the Murdox.... you’ve lost me, Fox!

I often enjoyed O’Reilly, though he sometimes seemed a bully and a blowhard.

But, I can take or leave Tucker (when he’s good, he’s very, very good, and when he’s not, he’s horrid....) and I can’t stand Shep Smith or the Five lightweights. And, Hannity’s past his sell by date.

Bring Back Brit Hume!

I guess we have no TV on the right anymore.
