Good point

Love your town....freepers bash it but I like it

Same as New Orleans....love it too but freepers hate it

I have actually had native Chicagoans stop me on Michigan ave last Christmas shopping in front of the big Burberry store and seeing I was looking about ask if I needed help

I lived in Manhattan 8 years

I much prefer Chicago as livable

But a mite chilly

Great ideas, Taxman.

O’Reilly has told us for years that he has security detail with him constantly to ensure that he doesn’t get into trouble with accusations, and this occurs? I know he can’t have anyone follow him 24/7, but I thought with that episode with that Andrea woman that that would be the end of that type of problem.

The Murdochs should have at least let him say goodbye to his very faithful audience (including me!).

O’Reilly had a great run on Fox News Channel. Fact is: no one gives a darn about his little misdeeds. That stuff is so over hyped. The real bad gig of abuse of women goes unreported, Female slave trade & daily abuse, here in the USA & worldwide!!!

O’Reilly will walk out with his pockets full of “Murdoch” dough!!! Gosh, Roger Ailes walked out with $40M in his pocket. The two Murdoch boys will kill FNC & FBN, quickly....but.....a new more powerful, all reaching, right leaning channel will emerge more powerful then ever!!!

I was never a great fan of Bill O’Reilly....but, he did a lot for the Murdoch operation. The Murdoch family is certainly not a loyalist group!!!

Take note, “The Five” will fail miserably in the 9:00 PM slot on FNC. It is horrible, boring and so passé!!! They should have given the that slot to Jesse Watters. But...I am convinced, the Murdoch brothers will destroy the FNC/FBN empire rapidly!!

Thank you, Joann.

The Murdocks have jumped the shark, and I predict Doom and Gloom for them!

Of course, WE have to somehow, someway, ensure that All Things Murdock are boycotted, but we can do this!

I really hope that a Real Conservative TV network becomes a reality.

All LIEberal all the time does not work for me!

SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO FIGHT THE LIEBERALS!

It occurs to me in the O’Reilly sexual harassment case no evidence has been presented that O’Reilly got any sex.

>>Regardless of what you think about O’Reilly, this is going to prove to be a bad decision for Fox. FOX equals the new CNN.<<
I thought that too — at first. Putting Tucker in at that slot is a HUGE win for our side. Carlson is far better, more persuasive, and more watchable. There’s also a new slot for Eric Bolling. Another HUGE win.

Exactly. The tolerance level here is also rather maddening given the depth of the reality which has occurred with this result...

Honestly, I find it difficult to watch O’Reilly anyway. He is a pompous moron who continually interrupts his intelligent guests to say something stupid. Because he has been in a prime time slot with interesting guests I suffer through his buffoonery. I think Tucker Carlson will do much better in that spot. He is actually intelligent, which helps a lot, and a lot more polite.

I do think it is hypocritical, though, for the media to be jumping on this as if he is the only one who would do or say the things he is accused of. Pretty ridiculous. My guess is that most the male newscasters would be released from every channel if they policed everyone the way they police Fox. Not defending them in any way, just saying.

“Agreed. He put out an excellent show each night, and provided spot-on analysis most of the time.


You mean... “The Five” isn’t going to be as interesting?

Cucker Tarlson is unwatchable and Eric Boring is like watching paint dry. Both of them are anti-Christian and about as interested in social issues as the typical congressional RINO pushing for abortion and same-sex marriage.

Like Don Lemon telling his co-anchor she had a “nice rack” on live TV on New Year’s Eve.

Did he get fired for THAT? Hell, no. No one cared.

Tucker Carlson has had some redemption. He is not a conservative, and is a bit of a RINO, but aren’t they all?

Lou Dobbs is the only decent voice and he is on Fox B.

Democrats are free to be misogynists, racists, homophobes, (and all other labels that they try to paste on Republicans) because “everyone knows” that their motives are pure. Look how long Robert Byrd, the Exalted Cyclops (whatever that means, it is a leadership position) of the KKK remained in office.

Someone is going to get lucky. Who has the distribution? Maybe O'Riley goes and saves The Blaze. Or maybe Showtime gives Bill a new show to pit against Bill Maher. Or maybe even HBO gives Bill a show. In the latter cable cases, there are no sponsors, only viewers. Netflix? Could be BOR syndicates his own show and distributes that way.

"You lump O’Reilly's ATTEMPTED promiscuity charges together with O’Cosby's and O’Clinton's multiple rape charges? That's kinda messed up IMO."

I totally agree with that statement....

If Bill had been hitting on little boys or small fur bearing animals he would have been perfectly acceptable to the left, who are actually the ones who run the news media industry....

If you act a little macho and hit on girls... well, your just asking for it...

MHO............
