Herring said the...

When Fox News announced in April they had fired network star Bill O’Reilly, many of the conservative commentator’s most loyal followers urged other conservative television networks to sign him, such as One America News, Newsmax or even TheBlaze. But as TheBlaze reported on Friday, O’Reilly plans to hire several journalists and news producers to begin his own in-house video operation at BillOReilly.com. He even poached a producer from Fox News to work for him. Now more details have been released about O’Reilly’s future. According to Newser, O’Reilly said during at a public appearance on Long Island Saturday evening that he...

REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS TARGETED BY MADMAN Bill spent much of Thursday's No Spin News analyzing the terrible shooting incident in Virginia, where a left-wing loon named James Hodgkinson took aim at Republican members of Congress as they practiced for their annual charity baseball game against their Democratic counterparts. Among the injured is Majority Whip Steve Scalise, the third-ranking Republican in the House, who in critical condition after being shot. There was only one fatality Thursday morning, and that was the 66-year-old shooter, who was killed by heroic and fast-acting Capitol Police. "This was a bad day," Bill lamented, "and I predicted...

Speaking via Skype with Newsmax TV last week, Bill O’Reilly revealed that he has plans to fight back against those who brought him down. Clearly foreshadowing litigation but claiming that his attorneys have implored him to offer no information, the former dominant personality of the entire cable news industry is not planning to go away quietly. Bill is not going away quietly It is no secret that George Soros-backed Media Matters has long had a campaign against FNC and its dominant personalities. No doubt others helped with the “Get Bill” project. If O’Reilly sues on the basis of tortious...

".....Less than two months after O’Reilly’s departure, the Murdoch family fortune has declined substantially, as investors unsure of Fox News’ future have scrambled to escape what some think is a very slowly sinking ship. According to an analysis by Forbes of the Murdochs’ fortune, the family’s net worth is estimated to have declined by more than $1 billion since April 1. Forbes reports the decline is largely due to falling stock price of 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Fox News. On March 28, just a few weeks before O’Reilly was dismissed, the share price of 21st Century Fox...

Bill O'Reilly said on Tuesday that Fox News is unlikely to do away with host Sean Hannity, adding that the conservative network can't "handle another shake-up" after his own ouster. "It’s the same thing, the far left going after him, trying to get him off the air," O’Reilly told The Associated Press in an interview. "I think Hannity will survive because I don’t know if Fox can handle another shake-up like that." O'Reilly was fired from Fox News last month after a New York Times report revealed that the network had paid about $13 million in legal settlements to five...

Bill O’Reilly gave his first interview since his firing from Fox News in April on Glenn Beck’s radio show on Friday.Beck, while stating prior to the interview wouldn’t be about O’Reilly’s firing, nonetheless spoke to the former cable news powerhouse about his unceremonious dismissal. “Look, the entire ordeal was a hit job, and in the weeks to come, we will be able to explain some of it. It really has to do with destroying voices that the far-left doesn’t like. That’s the general tone,” O’Reilly said. O’Reilly went on to explain in vague terms “due to the legality,” of...

Bill O'Reilly says his former protege at Fox News, Jesse Watters, will continue to make a series of public appearances with him this year. Fox News has other ideas. O'Reilly has been actively promoting upcoming dates for "The Spin Stops Here Tour," a variation of the political comedy shows he has performed with Dennis Miller, the "Saturday Night Live" alum, since 2011. Watters joined the tour this year. In March, he appeared with O'Reilly and Miller at a show held in Omaha. For days on "No Spin News," the podcast that has become his primary outlet since he was ousted...

Since being fired from the Fox News Channel earlier in April, speculation has run wild over what former Fox News star Bill O’Reilly would do next. On Thursday, O’Reilly dropped a hint that he may be returning to television sooner than many expected. In a podcast airing on Billoreilly.com on Monday, O’Reilly said his plan going forward is to air progressively longer podcasts on Billoreilly.com that will eventually become a full news program. On Thursday, in a podcast titled “O’Reilly Lays out Plans for the Future in Last Free Podcast,” O’Reilly said his website will launch a video news program...

April 28, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – The dismissal of Bill O’Reilly from Fox News over allegations of sexual harassment doesn’t look good, especially coming as it does on the heels of the similarly dishonorable departure of former Fox CEO Roger Ailes. Could O’Reilly be the innocent victim of an ideological witch hunt? Did his head fall under the guillotine merely to further plans to transform Fox into another globalist, left-leaning CNN, as some have suggested? Perhaps. But somehow that theory seems too convenient. If there is any such liberal conspiracy (and maybe there is), it’s more likely that its leaders...

On the heels of major shakeups at the Fox News Network, an alternative conservative network is being actively discussed amongst conservative fat cats. A well-placed source close to the proposal tells Mediaite that serious discussions are underway to create an alternative conservative cable network on the belief that the Fox News Network is moving too far to the left. The source, who is engaged in the talks, says a meeting is planned for today with two prominent high-powered television executives, some underperforming conservative networks and people who have an interest and the ability to fund a new network. The potential...

Fox News dominated its first night in the post-Bill O'Reilly era as "Tucker Carlson Tonight" averaged 3.2 million viewers in the program's first night occupying the 8 p.m. ET timeslot. The debut of Carlson's new timeslot won was the most-watched cable news program in both viewers and the key demo of adults age 25-54. Carlson began his program with a message to viewers who made "The O'Reilly Factor" the most-watched show in cable news for nearly two decades. "For those of you tuning in expecting to see someone different in this anchor chair, I know the feeling well. I watched...

How the mighty have fallen!” The biblical lament has particular relevance this week, as Bill O’Reilly—trusted by millions of Americans every weeknight since 1996 on his “spin-stopping” Fox News program The O’Reilly Factor—will not return to the network following an exposé of alleged sexual harassment incidents over the past decade. The announcement follows other high-profile departures from the nation’s top cable news network in recent months. Notably, prime-time anchor Megyn Kelly will soon debut as a news commentator for NBC News—following her lead role in last summer’s resignation by Fox News president and founder Roger Ailes, who was forced out...

Speaking to Breitbart News, the victims of Bill Clinton’s alleged sexual assaults  — Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and Paula Jones – blasted the news media for purportedly dismissing their own accusations while hailing the recent sexual harassment charges against Bill O’Reilly that led to the former television host’s dismissal from Fox News last week. All three women made clear they were not defending O’Reilly, but criticizing what they described as a news media double standard when it came to the treatment of their own serious charges against Clinton.

Starting this week, a new era for prime-time cable news begins. Tucker Carlson will assume Fox News’s 8 p.m. time slot on Monday, the first time in nearly two decades that Bill O’Reilly will not be kicking off Fox News’s prime-time lineup. And Fox’s competitors are taking notice. Mr. O’Reilly’s dismissal amounts to an enormous shift in cable news, and the TV industry was ablaze with talk late last week whether the move has the potential to open up a cable news war that for more than a decade has been dominated by Fox News.

Back in 1998-99, many Democrats and liberals defended President Clinton. My favorite defense was that President Clinton's private behavior did not affect his job, i.e. “look at your 401-K!” and the unemployment rate was something I heard about on TV back then! I find this interesting because Bill O'Reilly’s alleged personal conduct did not affect his job either. After all, his ratings never dropped. This is why I've grown so skeptical of any public figure accused of sexual harassment, specially when we hear about them on The New York Times. Back in the summer of 1998, when many of us...

In the wake of the bigot and sexist remarks that Bill O’Reilly made about her, California Congresswoman Maxine Waters is by all accounts getting the last chuckle. A week ago, supports fled his show because of new disclosures of rape claims, and Waters’ voice was full and clear in naming Fox a “lewd behavior venture.” Waters pulled no punches, saying that O’Reilly “needs to go to imprison.” This is the second round in the progressing war of words between the prevalent and compelling Fox host and his latest dark lady target. As you’ll review, the main match started, apparently, when...

(AP) Washington: The Trump White House announced today that embattled Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, has accepted a new position within the administration. Mr. Spicer will become the deputy assistant to US Ambassador to the U.N., Niki Haley. Spicer said he looks forward to the transition and is confident working with various leaders from all over the world will be much less stressful than holding the daily press conferences he has been subjected to in the first 100 days of the Trump Presidency. The White House also announced Spicer's replacement for White House Press Secretary. Bill O'Reilly has accepted the position...
