Suck it, Bill-oh.
 
Multiple reports indicate Bill O'Reilly is O-U-T at Faux News.

That dude still hasn't paid for quoting me in his book from 1999 or so. :D

donquixote99 04-19-2017 12:11 PM

Here's the NY Magazine scoup: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer...has-to-go.html

It was finally up to the Murdochs, plural, including wives--or so the story goes.

Rajoo 04-19-2017 12:16 PM

So true, and hope they replace him with someone just as obnoxious.
Kellyanne anyone? Probably someone Fox listeners may look up to! :rolleyes:
And just may be, O'Reily can replace Steve Bannon. :D

The Drudge Report is linking to the story, an apparent wink of confirmation given proprietor Matt Drudge’s connections to Fox News.

"Very few in the business get to decide when and how things end. Media is most brutal of all industries,” Drudge tweeted Tuesday in apparent reference to O’Reilly.

New York Magazine reported Tuesday that the sons of Fox News executive chairman Rupert Murdoch are considering pulling O’Reilly off the air in the wake of sexual harassment allegations.

Not bad, maybe him and Agent Orange could go out like birds of a feather and grab, uh, things together. Maybe that is why Kelly Ann is sticking around while FLOTUS is hanging in NYC.:D

What will the O'Really sheeple do when he isn't on basic cable anymore, go play with Beck on Blaze? :eek:

One hypocrite at a time. Plenty of others who need to be muzzled, unfortunately.

Rajoo 04-19-2017 02:21 PM

It is official now, Brillo is out and good riddance.
Apparently the credit goes to a group founded by marketing professionals called Sleeping Giants who have no wbbsite nad operating solely on social media by targeting advertisers. Will post the news link later from a PC.

JCricket 04-19-2017 02:42 PM

A breath of fresh air. Good riddance. Hopefully this will be contagious.

Here is the link I mentioned in my Post #7.
How a group of marketers jumpstarted a Twitter campaign against Bill O’Reilly
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/bill-o...165628232.html

Lest we forget, it was only early this month the Trump came out in support of Brillio.

It was early this month that Fox renewed O'Reilly's contract. What were they thinking?

Dondilion 04-19-2017 04:39 PM

One huge hypocrite taken off his perch.

I think this is from about 1999. :)

ZeroJunk 04-19-2017 06:35 PM

If nothing else works cry racism or sexual assault. The accusation is all that is needed.

donquixote99 04-19-2017 06:38 PM

The merest particle of the hangnail of celebrity hath touched you, O Zeke! :D

Bill is admitting a big portion of his audience is people who enjoy getting pissed at him. I wonder if Limbaugh has ever admitted this?

Don't have cable, so have never seen his show, though I'm pretty sure he's the same guy who used to co-host one of those silly Hollywood Insider type of shows years ago. Lame.

I do listen to Limbaugh on occasion while commuting, not to get pissed at him, but to laugh at the obvious spin, and at the complete and utter ignorance of his listeners. He's laughing at them as well, I'm sure; makes a killing off their stupidity.

I'm really tickled by it, right now. :D

As for Limbaugh -- who I, also, am not a huge fan of -- I do think he's a bit more self-aware of what he's doing. At some level, he knows he's a tool.

Bill? Bill was drowning in his own Culture Warrior Kool-Aid.

Me either, I'm an OTA guy who has never seen his Fox drivel. I have seen his book pushing interviews on TV and he always came across as an arrogant horse's ass.

It wasn't the accusations of sexual assault that got him fired. It was the loss of revenue when companies didn't want to advertise during his show.

Fox knew about the sexual allegations for years and did nothing until the profit margin was negatively impacted.

Chicks 04-20-2017 10:27 AM

The internet never forgets. He's always been an asshat.

It takes guts for a woman to come forward given that there are so many assholes like you to claim she is lying.

It's far worse if it's true, however. Fox didn't fire their creator and biggest cash cow, Ailes and O'Reilley, for being boy scouts.

So, you're cool with ol' white grampy oogling a black staffer and calling her "hot chocolate"? Not to mention 21st Century Fox paying $13 million to silence five other victims of Unca Bill-Oh's raging testosterone.

ZeroJunk 04-20-2017 06:45 PM

What a bunch of bull shit. What is the definition of sexual harassment ? Apparently it is whatever the woman says it is.

We know what murder is, or robbing a liquor store.

But "leering", what the hell does that mean ?

Or, being referred to as "hot chocolate" . Heaven forbid, she is damaged for life.

What happens is they just made the glass ceiling thicker. It is simpler to just not hire women.

Lets say: Given the history of bosses-- demanding sex or else, a person, especially one high up in the power structure, should try wholeheartedly to maintain a professional atmosphere.

BTW men are also sexually harassed.

It's just business, sparky. Their advertisers spoke and ended this lecherous old man's career. $13 million dollars in hush money says you're full of said bovine excrement, ZJ.

And then there's the 25 million to the pervert for getting fired. What a country! :rolleyes:

Thanks to the real journalists at a real news outlet, the NYT, for doing what real journalists do. Fox "News" was happy to sweep this under the rug for years, so long as he kept the money coming in. Shame on companies still advertising on this fake news network!
