“O’Reilly is gone because the advertisers were pulling their money from Fox.
It’s not personal, just business.”
That is nonsence.
There were maybe 50 advertisers who claimed to pull advertisers from his show, all together their total contribution to his show was a tiny drop in the bunker of the money Bill was making in Advertising revenue and all of them were easily replaced with thousands of other company’s that do not play politics with their advertising budget. Which is by far almost all companies, as any company that does invariably hurts their own business, by not only giving up a great spot, but alienating half the population.
To be honest thou I’ve never even seen one Ad by most of these boycotting companies on the factor, which means that if they did have AD’s they were at low cost odd hours of the day.
It is very bad business to play politics period no matter what your politics are.
Its even worse for freedom to buy from companies that play polices The left constantly complain about the supposed influence of big business, well this is where business really effects the public. Not in political elections but in what they buy and sell with their money.

Fox sells advertising both regionally and nationally. A person in the Carolinas isn’t going to see the same ads as a person in NYC unless it was a national buy.
