The Murdochs have decided Bill OReillys 21-year run at Fox News will come to an end. According to sources briefed on the discussions, network executives are preparing to announce OReillys departure before he returns from an Italian vacation on April 24. Now the big questions are how the exit will look and who will replace him.
Wednesday morning, according to sources, executives are holding emergency meetings to discuss how they can sever the relationship with the countrys highest-rated cable-news host without causing collateral damage to the network. The board of Fox News parent company, 21st Century Fox, is scheduled to meet on Thursday to discuss the matter.

No, no, no, not that b*tch Shep Smith! Can’t stand it/him.
Ditto
“Broadcast TV will be dead in five years.”
I think I heard someone say this back in 1982 ...
I agree & I wonder how all those women who sucked up to him feel. I doubt they’re all innocent.
Picture didn’t appear.
That’s hysterical.
You could have a blah host if you had coulter and steyn and a few others make regular commentaries and have one on one’s unmoderated with libs.
lol
#### em.
“I think Ill wait for an official announcement from the network instead of second and third-hand reports that try their best to make it sound like this is real and its from Fox.”
^^^^^
I don’t blame you. But Drudge is running with it so I decided it would be worth posting.
Kennedy is really easy on the eyes to boot
We don’t want what he’s available for.
“Executives are currently debating possible replacement hosts. Names that have been discussed include Eric Bolling, Dana Perino, and Tucker Carlson, who would move from his successful 9 p.m. slot and create a need for a new host at that time.”
Jesse Watters would be better.
” I dont know who did what to whom. If anything. But FNC has jumped the shark.”
So far they haven’t jumped the shark. We only have NY Mag gossip.
OTOH, there are multiple accusations but the only one I have heard is from a women that didn’t get a job at FOX that she thought she was entitled to saying that several years ago BO asked her to go to his hotel room.
Even after that night, she still praised BO for his help with her career.
Please, no.
This is just wrong on all levels
I didn’t always agree with O’Reilly, but he turned the spotlight on a lot of injustices
The way Murdoch handled this is sickening
My husband will be very sad....he liked him
I’m wondering how many times this gets posted.. I’ll guess around 8 - 10.
“Fox News is toast”
I am afraid so. I was always worried about when the younger Murdochs took over. Fox News has been very important to conservatives and a lot of that has to do
with Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly. With them out down is the direction FoxNews will go.

Boy does this suck..I watch BO almost every night.
The ONLY acceptable replacement would be Martha. If they move Tucker to the 8:00 - won’t watch. Ditto Dana - nice to look at..not so great in her politics. Shep - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO!! I’d throw my TV in the trash if that happens.
I don’t buy this story for a minute. The left just went after one of the only remaining ‘somewhat’ center-right cable hosts to take out another voice of opposition - and are apparently going to be successful.
Buh bye, Fox. Your run was good while it lasted. I bet ratings drop like a stone, regardless of what they do.
Lou Dobbs is a very good suggestion.
