" ... the company and Bill O’Reilly have agreed that Bill O’Reilly will not be returning to the Fox News Channel."

lol. you could have streamed that one show. I’m just mystified at the household budgets of people that cut the cable because the price is just so outrageous.
Believe what you want to believe, this was a play by the hard left to damaged conservative news outlets.
The current court invented ‘law’ on work place sexual harassment basically puts everything in favor of the accuser. Even innocent by-standards with no idea whats going on can be charged and prosecuted under the current court invented law for simply having failed to recognized and intervene.
I have zero tollerance for those with the presumption of guilt. This kind of legal terror in the work place is unaccpetbale. People who go to work should be expected to have a thick enough skin as to either iqnore or deal with what ever ‘WORDS’ anyone throws at them be it a client or a coworkers.
It is NOT acceptable in a free society or functional work place to sue and ultimately fire people for harmless words.
Sticks and Stones break bones, Words DO NOT HARM responsible adults.
My original point was facts unknown to us. Everyone comes on a thread sure they know what happened without evidence.
O’Reilly is gone because the advertisers were pulling their money from Fox.
It’s not personal, just business.
Bye Bill O’bamapologist.
“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.
Yeah, I could see that.
“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.”
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.
“My original point was facts unknown to us. Everyone comes on a thread sure they know what happened without evidence.”
If Fox news had proof that bill had done some horrible thing that would inevitably sink their company were he to stay, They would have sued and prosecuted him not merely fired him.
As it is Bill is still professing his innocence claiming to have evidence to support that fact. (We don’t know bills side of the story)
Fox chose to deny him even the opportunity to have a farewell show presumably in hopes that most of his viewers would never know his side. So much for ‘Fair and balanced’
But i suppose given the fact that the men making these choices are now the chosen employees of a liberal, its not too much out of step with their stereo-typical presumption of guilt against anyone who doesn’t tow their line.
We still disagree. Good night.
“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.”
I know exactly how advertisement i have immediate family working in the industry, which at the lower levels is actually quite Conservative.
This is perhaps one of the reasons it is really very unusual for a company to play politics with its advertisement, it generaly has to be decided at the liberal high end of a corporation, and it is always more harmful to the company than it is ever helpful.
Business and politics do not mix, except when someone is breaking the law.
The companies that withdrew from Bill O’rilly were giving up the top spot to the next lowest bidder who didn’t play politics with their advertising budget while at the same time alienating half the population that knew about it.
While the factor lost little to no money selling to the next guy, both of theses acts are very bad for the business playing politics costing them far more customers than they ever stood to lose were they simply to stay out of it.
You can learn about me on my homepage
Unlike most here I don't hide
Read up be informed on these events tugging your emo strings
Fox agreed to pay these offended bimbos long ago
It's just easier
And that Hot Chocolate uglyassed black woman
She shoulda been flattered
Did he extort sex from these gals?
No he just commented they were hot or talked crap in front of them
I thought they wanted to be equal...no they want to be cryababies
My wife on my homepage....no slouch on the hot factor....worked corporate for years and got hit on and hotel room keys etc for a decade and more
You just put your big girl pants on and tell horndog story bugger off
She's livid and like me OButthead gets in her nerves too
She sat on the phone an hour today to bitch out FNC
Unless you're pressured for sex which has never been proven to my knowledge then what the hell......it's ridiculous
The libtard Murdoch bastards allied with screech birth. Allred junior and took the giant leprechaun out
As usual folded and the weak on our side celebrate
You do notice the left never ever folds
It must be nice to be a woman and get hundreds of thousands or millions for getting your butt slapped or hearing a crude joke.
There is an opportunity with this. One good online 24 X 7 live streaming news network that does what Fox used to do and try and be fair and balanced could change how people view news.
Yup! Instead they tell us, “It's only sex!”
At the beginning of this month he was on top of the world...
Agreed. He put out an excellent show each night, and provided spot-on analysis most of the time.
$13 million of real issues, and bound to go up. The old letch!
I didn’t like him and really don’t see how he “got” so many women! Ugh!
