This was an organized take down by the left. The left won big and many of us are blind to this. It started April 1 with the NYT article, followed by 50 companies withdrawing their ads and left wing demonstrators in front of the FNC HQ. Look at the protesters and their signs. Sexual Predator? Really?

And here are the new BS allegations:
Attorney Lisa Bloom announced Tuesday that she is representing a new client who is accusing OReilly of sexual and racial harassment.
Bloom did not reveal the identity of the new client but said that she called the hotline Fox News set up last week to investigate claims against OReilly.
The attorney told The Hollywood Reporter that her client was called hot chocolate by OReilly and was afraid if she told him to knock it off she'd get fired.
Herman Cain was a mortal threat to Obama and the Democrats. As a charismatic black conservative, a Christian and businessman, Cain held the same views as millions of older black Americans who were reluctant to speak their minds.
Cain threatened to liberate this group and bring many of them back to the GOP.
O’Reilly, having the biggest prime time soapbox in cable, followed the Rupert Murdoch tabloid formula: a two-headed dog story to grab the attention of the low-information viewer followed by right-of-center messaging in the form of an interview or an analysis. Then a sometimes hostile on-air debate with a leftist or two. Then something lighter. Entertainment mixed with ideology.
O’Reilly often refers to himself as “a simple man” but he is far from that. He is a credentialed journalist, with multiple degrees, and worked for both CBS and ABC. The “simple man” persona made him more folksy and easier for his audience to identify with and trust, like Walter Cronkite. Both “newsmen” used the electronic news media to affect mass political consciousness. The difference was Cronkite and his boutique Marxist colleagues pretended to be a neutral observers.
