It is amazing to me that Fox News would dump O'Reilly , and preserve Shepherd Smith , who has become the voice and the face of anti-Trump sarcasm on Fox . As for O'Reilly ; it should be a warning to the famous and the wealthy to guard their honor and maintain their virtue .

Now there is no reason to keep Comcast.
I’m unplugging - saving a ton of money.

Don’t need “The Five” and I suspect the market will decide that I’m right about that. Would rather see Bolling later but moving Tucker Carlson in the prime BOR spot makes good sense. Will look for that to surpass the ratings BOR was getting.

And Watters will be waiting...in his world...

As he said, no one even complained anonymously.

Hit job, but also a business decision.

Haven’t watched him in at least a decade. I remember back then a female news anchor accused him of sexual harassment.

Quit watching FOX altogether a few years ago. Cnn or msnbc for breaking news if I have TV on.

I’d much rather watch Carlson than BOR(e), but I’m gobsmacked that Fox would boot him.

NPR can report that @TuckerCarlson will take O’Reilly’s 8 p.m. slot. A new generation takes over the most valuable real estate in cable news

They pretty much had to can him. With all the publicity the payouts to the women he hits on would be going up sharply.

I got tired of BOR. Although he seems to have a problem with sexual promiscuity, he consistently stood with the Right on social/moral issues. He came across as basically a decent guy.

On the other hand, he seemed clueless when it came to the unconstitutional portion of the federal government and was tone deaf when it came to understanding the benefits of the free market.

They’ll be out of biz if they think Dana Perino can carry that slot.

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.

No doubt that arrogant old windbag brought it on himself.

Notice that the other male show-hosts on FNC don't have these problems.

BOR should go to MSNBC where the lib wimmin are really ugly and there is little temptation.

Case and point:

Bill O was right more often than not and he was good at commentary. But it sounds like he had behavior issues that should have gotten him sacked a long time ago. In any case he has lots of money so I don’t expect to see him on public relief anytime soon. Tucker is a good choice to fill the time slot.

Oh no..... what will his premium members do now? They are so screwed.

Now he'll have all the time in the world to crank out more of his crappy books. Good riddance.

Big mistake. No matter how you feel about O'Reilly, this means that the NYT and CNN have succeeded in getting rid of their biggest competition on Fox. They must be celebrating tonight. Fox has lost our house. Will still watch Fox Business occasionally, but can't bear the thought of watching The Five during the evening, or Tucker in Bill's slot -- neither can hold a candle to O'Reilly. Didn't always agree with Bill, but his show was excellent. Fox has nowhere to go but down from here. The NYT ran a huge, negative story about Bill every day for a couple of weeks. They won.

Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, et al, should round up their pals, partner up with every conservative TV advertiser, host, director, producer, news reader, announcer, cameraman/woman, etc. etc., and start a REAL Conservative TV News Network!

As for me, FOX News will NEVER be allowed in my home again!

BOYCOTT THE MURDOCKS, FOX NEWS AND EVERY COMPANY THAT PULLED ITS O’REILLY ADVERTISING!

IF WE REAL CONSERVATIVES WORK TOGETHER, WE CAN BANKRUPT THE MURDOCKS, FOX NEWS AND EVERY ONE OF THEIR PUSILLANIMOUS ADVERTISERS!

THIS IS WAR!

WHO WILL BE THE NEXT CONSERVATIVE TV HOST TO FALL VICTIM TO THE LIEBERAL ESTABLISHMENT’S ODORIFEROUS LIES AND ACCUSATIONS?

HANNITY?

TUCKER?

WATTERS?

WHO?
