Bill O’Reilly promises ‘stunning’ information about his firing by Fox News as litigation likely
American Thinker ^ | 06/12/2017 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 06/12/2017 8:08:23 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Speaking via Skype with Newsmax TV last week, Bill O’Reilly revealed that he has plans to fight back against those who brought him down. Clearly foreshadowing litigation but claiming that his attorneys have implored him to offer no information, the former dominant personality of the entire cable news industry is not planning to go away quietly.

Bill is not going away quietly

It is no secret that George Soros-backed Media Matters has long had a campaign against FNC and its dominant personalities. No doubt others helped with the “Get Bill” project. If O’Reilly sues on the basis of tortious interference with his contract or some other basis (libel?), the object may be less monetary damages than the opportunity to depose people and obtain subpoenas for records as part of the discovery process.

The Blaze has summarized the key portions of his comments about his departure from.  Fox News:

 

In hindsight, O’Reilly says he should have fought back against those putting pressure on his advertisers, like his friend Sean Hannity did, who recently also had liberal activists pressure his advertisers in an effort to oust him.

O’Reilly made the comments during an interview on Newsmax TV Thursday.

“In hindsight, Sean did it the right way,” O’Reilly said. “I should’ve done it that way, but I didn’t.”

“This was no accident our sponsors were attacked. This is very well organized. They tried to with Hannity. Hannity actually fought back. I didn’t. I should have. For reasons that I cannot explain now, I did not,” O’Reilly explained.

“THEN HE SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT BACK AND COUNTER-SUED.”
He wouldn’t have had the huge damages he will collect. Think of how much money is involved!!!

going all the way back to his turning in “his people” to the Nazis!

This really cannot be mentioned enough in regards to Soros. He facilitated having Jews sent to concentration camps, many who died there. When people refer to him as a "philanthropist", I just want to throw up. Not to mention what he has done to the economies of some countries with his manipulations. This guy is one of Satan's minions.

I think the Czech Republic has banned him from entering their country.

Yes, he’s certainly Satan’s Spawn. I just hope Trump has some resources to “devote to him,” as he’s done inestimable damage to the entire world. The other guy who has similar resources and bent is Tom Steyer. He needs the same treatment. Both of them have $25 billion plus in personal resources. It should be confiscated.

I bet he has evidence that Fox paid people to accuse him of sexual harassment then paid them off to make him look guilty.
