Fox news icon Bill OReilly, arguably the man who propelled Fox News into media dominance, has folded his tent under duress and slipped away under the cloud of multiple charges of sexual harassment. He is the latest conservative target of a liberal left that also targeted the likes of Herman Cain and even Donald Trump himself while excusing arguably the greatest sexual predator to hold a position of power, one William Jefferson Clinton.
Clinton could skate on multiple credible charges of sexual abuse and even a credible charge of rape by Juanita Broaddrick. The lefts argument then was that that was personal and as long as Clinton was doing a good job it was not any of our business. Well, sexual abuse of power is always our business, whether it is in the Oval Office or the corridors of a news conglomerate. At this point, the credibility of the charges against Bill OReilly are not known, but the lefts hypocrisy on this subject is.
Although an accused predator and arch-villain in the lefts cause célèbre, the war on women, OReilly should also be remembered as the greatest advocate on behalf of Kate Steinle, a woman murdered at the hands of an illegal alien who should not have been here but was allowed to prey on Steinle in the sanctuary city of San Francisco. OReilly was a fierce advocate for Kates Law, blocked by former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a law to punish those illegals who prey on American citizens: as Bill OReilly said in his July 7, 2015 Talking Points Memo:

Poor BOR Suffers from an illness—Clintonitis. He never met a woman he didn’t like. Many have suffered from this. Henry VIII, Actor Errol Flynn come to mind. He did it to himself. Time to retire and just write books.
::OReilly did a lot of good, whatever his flaws may have been. Seems to me that most of us would be proud to have the same said about us::
No doubt about it. He will no doubt continue to support the charities he favors. I wonder if the tours with Dennis and Jesse will continue. The schedule is set for the remainder of the year and most are sold out. I don’t know if FOX has any stake in those tours or where the proceeds go beside rental of facilities and other expenses. To charities?
The left did their dirty work and accomplished exactly what? Are they going to shut down the internet so we don’t have any voice at all? They aren’t that important or powerful. The powerful always meet their match in the end...The end is way past time for Soros.

I was in the car the other day and turned on the radio to the station where Herman Cain used to be - where Rush comes on at noon here. I don’t know where Herman went or if he goes off at 11 am EDT....but the guy who was on (who I had never heard of) said that FOX is negotiating a deal in the UK over Sky News (I’m sure he said) and he repeated over and over: THERE IS MONEY AND THEN THERE IS MONEY in reference to FOX needing to get rid of O’Reilly because of the deal they are trying to save. He said O’Reilly might cost them millions but the deal would cost them BILLIONS.
I’ve been looking for reference to the show and if I find it, I will post it.
You drew a nice parallel there. (That beagle sounds awesome.)
.
January 2017 - found it for my satisfaction but maybe others are interested also....I need to see if I can find what he was talking about on Wednesday....
“”As the clock approached 11 a.m. Monday, the newest News 95.5 and AM 750 weekday host Eric Von Haessler was chill, laughing and joking with his cast of characters, making mental notes on the topics they were going to address.
Hed been preparing for this moment for a good while. For the past two years, hes been doing a three-hour Sunday show waiting for an opening on weekdays. Now his boss Pete Spriggs found that opening, wedging Von Haessler in for an hour a day at 11 a.m., trimming Herman Cain to two hours.””
But the next month was hilarious as he absolutely tore up three of those daffy duck umbrella collars. Finally, the husband cut out the bottom of a five gallon bucket and strapped that around his head to protect the stiches.
Here’s the story about FOX and Sky News....
“”Yet after the sexual harassment scandal at Fox News that led to the ouster of Roger Ailes, its chairman, and the revelation of several settlements involving Bill OReilly and allegations of inappropriate behavior, Mr. Murdoch and 21st Century Fox now face renewed scrutiny over their plans to buy the 61 percent stake in Sky that they do not own.””
“”On Friday, European officials gave their blessing to the deal, which is worth 11.2 billion pounds, or $13.9 billion. But the battle will come to a head when a British regulator rules next month on whether the proposed deal gives Mr. Murdoch, who already controls several national newspapers, too much clout over the British media landscape.””
Yeah I forgot about that.
He did some good.
I don’t like seeing his head in the Feminazi’s trophy case.
Herman Cain is one of my favorites and an early supporter of DJT. I hope there is a place for him in the administration. He has experience and smarts.
When someone does not unflinchingly support open borders, unlimited abortion on demand, and Democrats.
I was going to ask this one girl on a date but turned yellow at the last minute.
The real reminder in this is the reality of power, behind the scenes for the most part, that can simply cancel an O’Reilly. “He’s gone. That’s just the way it is. Now move along. Nothing to think about here.”
If I remember correctly, Fox News went with Sky News officially a few month ago, like in December or right after the new year
Where is the proof of these sexual misconduct charges? I don’t believe the loss of advertising claims, otherwise Hannity would be feeling the same pressures. What I do believe is that conservatives eat their own. Libs circle the wagons while we tighten nooses.
That’s strange as the link is from 4/9/17 and treated as in the works if somewhat “iffy” at that time. The guy on the radio Wednesday 4/19 was talking as if it was an ongoing negotiation. Hard to tell how these things go together.
