The left's takedown of Bill O'Reilly was only partly the result of an organized campaign of destruction. Mr. O'Reilly, like Roger Ailes before him, became a victim of his own bad behavior.
Fox News management made the decision to let O'Reilly go not because of the highly publicized settlements the network made with 5 women who accused the host of sexual harassment. The network decided to ax O'Reilly because there are apparently several other women who are deciding whether or not to press forward with similar suits. (Reports indicate that an internal investigation carried out by a third party shows that there are also other Fox News employees who are going to be accused of sexual harassment in the future.)
Not all the women making these accusations are liberal plants. But whether you believe that O'Reilly is entirely innocent - the target of radical leftists out to destroy Fox News - or not, the fact is that Ailes, O'Reilly, Michael Flynn, and other conservatives who have recently been victimized by organized liberal attacks are not the primary targets of the left's smear campaigns.
It's President Donald Trump who has a bullseye on his back. Roger Simon of PJ Media:
The real target in the defenestration of Bill was not O'Reilly himself but very obviously Donald Trump. He's the Big Kahuna the obscenely named "Resistance" (hey, you idiots, that was about Auschwitz, not tax reform) is after and Bill was only a stop along the way. Indeed, several of Bill's accusers, represented by the daughter of Gloria Allred, appear to be people who find Trump particularly loathsome. And the original story was broken by the New York Times, the literary capital of the "Resistance."

Exactly! Now, if they figure out how to frame Hannity it’s all over.
OReilly is a ratings whore. Liberal one day, conservative the next. If a show is at best 50% watchable, who needs it?
Right on!!!!
Now, if they figure out how to frame Hannity its all over.
It will be tougher than BOR.
For now. How long before we start turning on him?
It is interesting how many of us stopped watching this phoney for the same reasons or similar reasons.
Our gut and that weird feeling we get about someone not being what he/she pretends to be, was triggered by this fake, years ago.
He seemed to verge on telling the truth and then would back off.
Wonder if Obama et al monitored/surveillanced him?
BOL!
“f Murdock’s dorky kids want to compete with liberal networks they’re gonna have to put a whole lot more money into the operation because NO ONE is going to rush through dinner to watch a bored snarky liberal elite trash them and their life. If Murdock’s kids want to do that they better shell out big bucks for name talent, A-list guests and reporters stationed in news bureaus all over the world. Because otherwise it’s over and Rick Moran will write the obit...”
You have written the reason why there will be an obit for Faux.
“Our gut and that weird feeling we get about someone not being what he/she pretends to be, was triggered by this fake, years ago”.
Obama or Hitlery or BOR? Lol.
Probably.
The article says this is a threat to anyone in the media who defends Trump. O’Reilly was a longtime personal friend of Trump...and Trump defended him as much as he defended Trump. If you were targeting Trump, O’Reilly is just a hair trigger away from him on the totem pole. And this is a line in the sand...make yourself a Trump ally, and we will take you out whenever the opportunity arises.
In addition, the success of this campaign will have liberal billionaire donors flooding money to the people who pulled it off. They might redirect some of those funds away from individual special elections to these liberal pressure groups, giving them more ammo to wage war against Trump and his other allies.
“Obama or Hitlery or BOR? Lol.”
Not quiet as serious, more like the feeling, we got when Obama debated McCain and then Romney, and they refused to go for the kill!
You knew that something was wrong and couldn’t put your finger on it.
Or when Chief Justice Roberts did his flip/flop on Obamacare.
A sane person goes, “”What the Hell just happened!”
Maybe the simple answer is my two favorite Latin words,
“Cui Bono”. ‘Who benefits’ when stuff likes this happens.
“Wonder if Obama et al monitored/surveillanced him?”
Might be easier to ask who Obama DIDN’T spy on.
'Might be easier to ask, who Obama DIDNT spy on.'
If we used one of Prism's providers in the box on the middle left of the above, we were probably monitored.
Exactly!
‘Might be easier to ask, who Obama DIDNT spy on.’
That’s right.
Its all about silencing and weaking the voices of the right so that the left can dominate what people know competely again. That is how they are ultimately after trump and every other conservative.
Fox News Days as a conservatives news Media outlet are numbered, When 21st century Fox’s Founder dies, liberals will inherit the empire and turn it into anther liberal empire.
Don’t count on it, The leftwing Murdoch boys are working to transform the network into anther CNN, and they will be slowly driving off and attempting to discredit their conservative talent.
Once again Leftist have inherited anther hugely successful conservative built empire to drive into the ground. I would probably blame the high priced schools Robert Murdoch sent his son’s to for turning them into leftist cannon flooder or the opportunistic leftist Gold digger who picked them up.
It wouldn’t surprise me. The generation of snowflakes behind us has been conditioned to accept all the liberal agenda even if they don’t agree with it personally.
A very stute observation.
In about 18 months to 2 years from now you won't even recognize Fox and what it was.
Fox hasn’t been what it was since at least 2007 when they began to lurch left.
