Bill O'Reilly: Fox can't 'handle another shake-up' if Sean Hannity goes
The Hill ^ | 05/30/2017 | BY MAX GREENWOOD

Bill O'Reilly said on Tuesday that Fox News is unlikely to do away with host Sean Hannity, adding that the conservative network can't "handle another shake-up" after his own ouster.

"It’s the same thing, the far left going after him, trying to get him off the air," O’Reilly told The Associated Press in an interview. "I think Hannity will survive because I don’t know if Fox can handle another shake-up like that."

O'Reilly was fired from Fox News last month after a New York Times report revealed that the network had paid about $13 million in legal settlements to five women who had accused the former "O'Reilly Factor" host of sexual harassment.

Before being removed from Fox, O'Reilly was among Fox News's highest-profile personalities, and his show was the top-rated cable news program. The conservative television host earlier this month cast his ouster as "a hit" by the "far left." And on Tuesday, he said that Hannity, also one of Fox News's major personalities, is being subjected to the same treatment.

Hannity has seen several advertisers pull out of his show in recent days after he propagated a conspiracy theory on air regarding the 2016 killing of former Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich.

Sinclair Broadcast Group really needs to get its cable news channel up and running ASAP. Seriously, they are looking at a high grade gold mine, but time’s-a-wastin’.

AGREED. DO IT NOW!

FOX is gone, already.

I do record Hannity, to help his ratings, but rarely watch him. Lou Dobbs on FOX Biz is all that’s left, and the daily WH briefing.

Hard to believe.

Hard to believe, after all these years.

The Five was NEVER any good ( it was ALWAYS useless, boarding on the banal/insipid/total unalloyed horseshit ) and it's even worse at 9:00 P.M.!

Tucker STINKS ON ICE and his format is even worse than the stupid The Five! Like you, I have done my more than fair share of making fun of and trashing O'Realy, both here and many other place/real life; however, I miss him now. Tucker make Bill look like a genius, a hard right CONSERVATIVE, and just plain old amazing. ;^)

Hannity is the ONLY watchable/decent night time show on FNC, during the week!

Waters isn't awful and Judge Jeanine is always VERY good and they are the ONLY other shows ( besides Hannity ), that I care to watch.

At this rate, the FOX empire is going to be to implode rather swiftly.

***The Morlock brothers have made every bad decision they could....however, I don't think they give a big damn...***

It is symptomatic: all the big media outlets are owned by billionaires - and they do not care if they lose $$$ as long as they might influence millennials and youth into agreeing to enslave themselves to an overwhelming govt.

My prime example - for years - has been Disney / ABC / ESPN. They present themselves as a family friendly company while endorsing all sorts of moral and sexual aberrations. They even went to court - and won by hook or by crook - a case forbidding parents to buy a device that would obscure foul language and sexual acts from their children's viewing during movie or show content. They spend $millions on political candidates determined to overthrow the Constitution and flood the country with non-assimilated aliens. Disney even forced loyal employees to train questionably legal aliens in how to do their jobs and then fired them in favor of their replacements.

Disney is a despicable company - but conservatives still flock there and support Disney probably because their kids are demanding to see the wonder of it. That is Disney's mission: to lure the kids and youth in and corrupt them.
