Fox News took a sharp left turn yesterday with the firing of its top cable news personality. Bill O’Reilly has been the target of sexual harassment accusations made by lawyers who’ve made their fortune by smearing prominent conservatives with similar charges.
The decision to jettison the star of The O’Reilly Factor, after his top-rated prime time program made billions for the network, came from James and Lachlan Murdoch, sons of Rupert Murdoch, founder of Fox News.
The harassment allegations prompted some advertisers to cancel sponsorship of the O’Reilly program, and came on the heels of an earlier harassment scandal involving network president Roger Ailes, who was shown the door as well.
Learn more about the classless manner in which the Murdochs handled the situation and the program reshuffling that will shift the channel further away from conservative views. It all can be found on the next page.
Fox news is out
I will be. Following bill were ever he go
I believe his inflated ego did him in. His narcissistic pride and being above others mentality just came to a head & the thoughtless “Old School” sexual comments caused advertising to drop and it was time for him to go. Publicly reporting he was fired was a blow to his ego. I don’t feel sorry for him one bit. Pretty sure 40’s and older people are the ones fussing over this. The man is a multi-millionaire and received his millions off his contract. He should be grateful he was even allowed to use the network platform to promote his own business of selling his books / video / other. So stop trying to BLAME others for something that should have been done years ago, The Network tolerated his demanding, hateful behaviors off camera & paid many sexual harassment settlements in the past, when is enough is enough? Yes, he was a great reporter, but Sexual Harassment in this ERA is unacceptable, period.
Fox is in decline!!
Keep dreaming as million of people are getting screwed by your ignorance and the Alec / Koch low wage agenda
Eric – you are out of real touch. The democrats are for the little guys the same they are for blacks and low wage earners. How has that been working out? It is their (Dems) mission to keep poor people poor and continue to “SALE” them on the lies they are helping them. Conservatives on the other hand want to help people OUT of poverty. Re-examine the results of policies and procedures – NOT the rhetoric that is spewed by those garnering for votes. The past 50 years is quite clear to those with their eyes open and common sense. Please tell us (1) City that is thriving that is controlled by the Democrats. BTW, I am an independent and despise both the left and the right. I am for what is best for the majority of Americans and neither side, so to speak, supports all of it.
start watching one America news on directv 347
I hope their ratings crumble!!! I will only watch Tucker at 8 and Sean at 10 and that’s it
The younger Murdochs are Liberals, they wanted Oreilly out.
