Killing the Messenger Didn’t Work. Bill O’Reilly’s Back on Monday
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/23/17 | Judi McLeod

Welcome back, Mr. O’Reilly, it’s been an interminably long week without you

You can’t kill the messenger. Just ask the recently Fox news “dropped” Bill O’Reilly.

You can’t kill the messenger when that messenger is savvy enough to spring right back ‘atcha with a brilliant delivery by way of a coming unstoppable podcast punch.

The “No Spin Zone”, killed off by the Progressive Left principals now running Fox News is alive and kicking—with a promised 7 p.m., Monday return on Bill O’Reilly’s website.

I don’t really like O’Reilly. He had waffled to appear fair.

But I hate the media more...I may give this a view. Or maybe he can get on that conservative TV channel...I don’t recall the name though.

One America News Network (OAN)

(From another thread) - OAN, which stands for One America News Network (there's no second "N" in the logo), is actually beating Fox News sibling Fox Business in the cut-throat ratings race, according to Rentrak, which measures viewers differently than its rival, Nielsen.

Years ago, I watched MSNBC and CNN because FOX News was not available on my cable system. I expect that OAN will show up soon, in which case I can reduce my FOX watching. Will still watch Fix Business News, especially Lou Dobbs.

great idea - who needs cable TV

he’ll make m ore money with advertisers this way

he should team up with Hannity, Levin, Palin, et al to make a full-time web cast station

Would this be Right Side Broadcasting?

I just checked my Verizon channel lineup and was delighted to find that I actually have OAN on channel 616 :^)

I was never a devoted O’Reilly guy either, but let’s face it the guy is a cash cow and there is no way he’ll be off TV for very long.

I don't care for O'R either but I hate seeing the left win one, but the left actually won this one when Murdoch Père turned the business over to the Murdoch Fils. Rupert is a left winger, too, but he is a businessman first and he had calculated that a conservative cable channel would make a lot of money as a niche producer serving a very large niche. He was right but now Fox is a long extant enterprise and the sons really don't understand Dad's permitting heresy in his business. They will run Fox eventually into the ground and chase off all their draws, winding up sharing the ratings level with CNN and MSNBC. I would hope Hannity can get himself a good start on a better gig and leave Fox and then the rest of the actual conservatives go, too.

Ted Baxter killed O’Reilly a long time ago. :-)

Fox News pissed me off with their treatment of Trump eayyyyyyy back in the first debate in August 2015. They’ve been pretty much dead to me ever since but I will listen in the car sometimes, especially if Fox & Friends is on.

The Murdoch boys are rapidly destroying the entire network and it’s kinda sad to see FReepers cheering on the demise of BOR, especially in light of the fact that Soros is behind much of this

The right wing...with POTUS Trump and company has tons & tons of cash. The time is ripe, willing and ready for a 100% Conservative Cable TV network. O’Reilly, Hannity, Dobbs, Varney, Limbaugh, etc., etc., can jump ship from Rupert Murdoch (FNC/FBN)& others), and go our on their own...get behind “OAN” TV network, etc., and own the industry in months!!!

Fact is: The media cable TV networks are all lie tellers and boring to boot. Their news is biased, their polls are all wrong, their pundits get nothing true or correct....so, why watch the continuing babble!!

The American people are ready for truth & realism...not tingles up the leg!!! A “GOLDEN” business opportunity exists, clear as daylight!!! “TRUTH And The AMERICAN WAY!!!” And.....GO DONALD J. TRUMP!!!

I don't care one way or the other about Bill O'Reilly but this isn't the point.

What should be of great concern is the way that elements on the Left were able to successfully force Fox to buckle by successfully forcing advertisers to drop their support.

If they can do this so easily to O'Reilly, why not Hannity? No need to wait for some controversy to surface.

I watch and enjoy the content. The young female announcers are strictly business. There is also the very conservative “Ledger Report” by the lone male contributor. And, thankfully, not a stream of endless commercials.

While on the subject - perhaps you can name the veteran announcer who narrates the History clips. I thought Charles Osgood - but I’m not sure. Thanks.

Is OAN available via ap for the Kindle Fire? Can I find their broadcasts on You Tube? That’s how I get my news. I don’t have cable.

Bill used to frustrate me to no end with his constant equivocating to seem balanced. His insufferable Obongo suck ups drove me crazy. It will be interesting to see what his tune is when he is on a venue where he has free reign. I might even watch once or twice.

I never followed BOR much since I don’t watch much TV, but he always struck me as not so much “conservative” in principles but more like a “Reagan Democrat” of the ‘80s. Leaning traditional on some “social” (moral) issues, and so out of step with the leftist MSM consensus, but not exactly any consistent conservative.

In any case, what’s been done to him is ridiculous, and I hope he lands on his feet with some new venue(s) to reach millions. This podcast is a start, but I doubt that he will reach a comparable audience to what he had before now. What’s needed is the blowtorch of a real conservative alternative in cable and/or broadcasting.
