UK Daily Mail ^ | April 5, 2017 | Jessica Chia

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.

Maybe Bill thought “harass” meant “her ass” and acted appropriately. LOL.

I always thought that Riley was maybe somebody who the deep state had some information on to compromise him with.

A targeted hit is also what I think this is.

These accusations being suddenly pushed again looks like a cover for other Dem politicians in trouble.

Either the pedo ring investigators are getting close, or the Russia gate investigation needs to be forgotten.

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.

Agreed. The left has an endless amount of people who will do anything, including lie, to discredit / destroy anyone that’s not part of their little club. It’s NOTHING for them to find dozens (or hundreds) of women who will say ANYTHING if it will help “take down” one of their enemies.

Unless he’s been PROVEN guilty of misbehavior, it’s completely inappropriate for ANY company to damage him by pulling their ads from their show. To do so only suggests that these companies, too, are under the evil thumb of the left.

This is fake news and a fake propaganda campaign to destroy opposition forces.

Don’t think they won’t come after you next with the same tactics.

What difference does it make?

We do not watch commercials in the breaks.

We click channel to CNN or MSNBC to see if they are still around!

My wife and I have had the same exact agreement for the 19 years of our marriage. It is still “normal” to us. And prudent.

I think the left is ticked off at Fox for their accurate reporting of the Obama/Jarrett/Clinton/Rice spy scandal. This is the same, to me, as all of those women who came out to sue Trump during the campaign. Where are those women now? Did those lawsuits just go away?

OTOH, I don’t care for O’Reilly and wouldn’t put any of this past him. The timing is suspicious.

This is a targeted hit.
Hes the most popular talking head in the country and politically inconvenient to the anti-Trump movement.

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

Is that like the woman who spilled McDonald's Coffee on herself, then won a big lawsuit against them ?

Wouldn't you prefer he were gone because he can't interview a guest and not because the left doesn't like his politics? Him leaving under these circumstances would be a major loss and not a win. They ago after anyone who has anything nice to say about​ Trump. Boycott the boycotters if they want to turn their companies into political weapons

I’ll wait and see. Don’t like Bill, but if this is just a smear campaign, I’ll defend him.

BUT, there has been smoke before and do I believe this “COULD” be true.... well, yes.

Bill Cosby
Roger Ailes
Bill O’Reilly ???????

Laura Ingraham would get his spot, “IF” they go with an outsider.

If they promote from within, I think the number ONE choice should be Shephard Smith. /SARC

This is just SJW virtue signaling.

At the same time, he should not get away with sexually dominating women at work.

It all comes down to the ratings. I have to chuckle when advertisers pull from a highly rated show. It happened to Rush and within a month they were crawling over broken glass to come back.

I am going to call hit job on this one. The left hates O’Reilly. Also, can someone tall me how many of these companies listed actually advertised on his show in the first place.

Most likely largely BS.

You are missing the biggest part of this story. Forget O'Reilly...........the focus is the anonymous leftist group that has formed under the guise of "Sleeping Giants".

They are determined to destroy anyone who "they say" espouses sexism, racism, and all the other "isms" of the Socialist agenda..... by "mass" public shaming of their advertisers.

Breitbart is also on their list "to take down".

Because that’s all you need to have to be credible to retarded white-knights. Two boobs and a vagina.

That's old-world thinking. In the modern world, you no longer have to have a vagina in order to be elevated to oppressed female victim status.
