Twenty-two companies have pulled their ads from Bill O'Reilly's show after a report revealed women had accused the Fox News host of sexual harassment, verbal abuse, and inappropriate behavior.

O'Reilly's show may be taking a financial hit after BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai, Ainsworth, Constant Contact, Sanofi, GlaxoSmithKline, Allstate, Esurance, Untuckit, Mitsubishi, T. Rowe Price, Credit Karma, Coldwell Banker, Lexus, Bayer, Wayfair, Orkin, True Car, MileIQ, The Wonderful Company, and the Society for Human Resources Management all announced they would be removing their ads.

How many of these companies who pulled their ads from O’Reilly pulled them in turn from CNN who is embroiled in multiple discrimination lawsuits? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

“women had accused “

Because that’s all you need to have to be credible to retarded white-knights.

Two boobs and a vagina.

How about these women actually prove that this happened?

This will all blow over, when you can get a million or two for threatening a lawsuit for boorish behavior at most, then you will find 4-5 gals who will sign up.

The bottom line: Mike Pence is right. Keep your wife by your side. It tends to tamp down gossip and innuendo.


Yep. Anyone condemning his agreement with his wife, especially in light of his role in politics, is either a fool or has ulterior motives.

Only amongst themselves. Proclaiming to have any moral values at all is like blood in the water.

I’m not a fan of BOR but I think it’s a bit ridiculous that in this day & age a person can literally be ruined by “claims” of inappropriate behavior.

Thirteen million dollars in payouts is a bit more than just "claims".

I’m not sure how this works as I don’t think I have ever seen any of these companies advertise on his show.

Me neither.

They pulled this on Rush years ago, they couldn’t destroy him either.

So what if you don’t “trust” him.

If people can bring people you don’t care about down with just their accusation, then when it comes your turn to get it, no one is going to care then either.

Long live the typo!

If his ratings stay where they have been, he won’t have any trouble getting Advertisers.

How do you “pull ads” from a show if you never had ads on there in the first place?

Why this ‘sudden’ Bill O’Reilly focused hit? Is he onto a big story and they are trying to preempt it?

You are correct- these settlements have been known for years- when you are in his position you get sued for everything- Did any one of these people file criminal charges?

Sometimes it is cheaper to settle.

BOR is the guy in brings in the $$ for Fox News. He might get yanked temporarily, while he ‘rehabilitates’, but Fox will do everything they can to keep him on the air.

I think at least one of the claims, while old, resulted in a confidential settlement with hush money, and was only recently discovered.

If I ever became famous, I’d hire a private investigator to track me wherever I went, as a counter to unfounded accusations.

Pence has simplified this to just not being alone with women.

I refer back to the Swift Boat Vets opinion from BOR.

I see him as nothing but a talking suit that says whatever he thinks will increase his market. Now, I know they are all like that to one degree or another, but he is, to me, a textbook case of “what he says has nothing to do with what he believes”.

I don’t have TV (since 1997) so I rarely see the man, but what I’ve seen on Youtube in no way impresses. I don’t understand how he stays on the air.

A 100 years ago, Pence’s outlook would be considered quite normal. Crazy how quickly the world has changed.
