I will miss the Factor evenings as we have dinner at our house. WE started with O’Reilly when he first went on air with Fox. His show and comments are why we continued to tune him in, It seems a lot of folks here either didn’t like Mr. O’Reilly, or what his ideas were on the news. I think Fox has really hurt itself because you can’t replace a mainstay easily.

After what happened to Ailes last year, the handwriting was on the wall.

The sexual harassment issue has been a persistent one for O’Reilly.

We are all accountable for our actions at the end of the day.

But politics and payback is on the table as well.

Nixon covered up for his men in the 1970’s but was forced out by his enemies.

O’Reilly, who is GOP Establishment to me, was hated by the Left just the same and is just another notch on their belts.

Amazing that a tv guy with no real power gets canned over this and Bill Clinton could stay in office.

I came to FR today to see if there is any truth to Bannon being ousted and find this! Holy mother lode. They are firing this ratings hog? Are they out of there mind? So what stops someone from going after Hannity or Tucker next with such claims?

I am so sick of famous people “coming across a decent guy” when then you find out they are sickos. O’Reilly, O’Cosby, O’Clinton. Is it the name Bill??? I swear, even the men named Dick are less of a dick.

We know its true because the NYT says so? They can easily accuse anyone now, even Hannity.

Hannity does not trade Fox jobs for blow jobs. Hannity doesn’t masturbate on the phone with his subordinates (that I know of). I assume Carlson also does not treat women like his personal orgasm machines either.

That is the difference.

Would Cosby or Clinton’s behavior be ok if they were conservative Republicans??

He finally got his comeuppance. I remember that show with O’Reilly and Kristinn. O’Reilly made reference to someone wanting Hillary assassinated. That was my post and I never mentioned I wanted the hag rubbed out. It was written as a piece where someone from Code Pink shoots her.

I don’t remember the details of the post, however for the next couple of weeks I called O’Reilly’s producer, told them I was the author of the post and wanted to call O’Reilly out on it. I told his producer he was a coward and should come out from under the desk. They never put me on.

it’s fairly obvious and has been known for years that Bill is a cad.

How is it that we know that? That most honorable of sources NYT, the one that lies to us daily.

Not saying that he isn't a cad but we have no real evidence. Have we heard anything from Paula or Monica?

Two cases I know are true about O’Reilly. They were the ones where he was recorded. The third I believe is true is Dr. Wendy Walsh, who I’ve heard for a couple years on the air, and I believe her story. It’s very believable the details she tells.

Having been in those types of situations, it rings true. Some men will treat women that way.

But how do you know that is true? That any of that is true? Is there any more credibility on this than the idea Trump pissed on Russian prostitutes?

Just seems like a witch hunt that BOR and Fox News lost on.

See my 109. There is plenty of proof, that has been accepted in court.

What proof is there for any of that?

OK, so this isn’t BOR just telling a woman that she is “pretty”?

The falafel story is from court transcripts. At least one other victim recorded O’Reilly as well.

Ok, you caught me. I don’t know how I could prove to you that Hannity does not masturbate on the phone with his subordinates. I’m not breaking into his home because he has all those gun safes in every room. But I would bet he does not. It takes a special sicko to do that and tell her what you are doing and with what and what he wishes to be doing to his employee on the phone, with middle eastern snacks. In fact, I bet if Hannity were to do all of that, he would rub his victim with an AMERICAN snack, not an Arab one. So there. ;)
