Bill O’Reilly Is Forced Out at Fox News
By EMILY STEEL and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDTAPRIL 19, 2017



Bill O’Reilly’s reign as the top-rated host in cable news came to an abrupt and embarrassing end on Wednesday as Fox News forced him out after the disclosure of a series of sexual harassment allegations against him and an internal investigation that turned up even more.

Mr. O’Reilly and his employers came under intense pressure after an article by The New York Times on April 1 revealed how Fox News and its parent company, 21st Century Fox, had repeatedly stood by him even as he and the company reached settlements with five women who had complained about sexual harassment or other inappropriate behavior by him. The agreements totaled about $13 million.

Since then, more than 50 advertisers had abandoned his show, and women’s rights groups had called for him to be fired. Inside the company, women expressed outrage and questioned whether top executives were serious about maintaining a culture based on “trust and respect,” as they had promised last summer when another sexual harassment scandal led to the ouster of Roger E. Ailes as chairman of Fox News.

That left Mr. O’Reilly’s fate in the hands of the Murdoch family, which controls 21st Century Fox. In the end, according to two people familiar with the decision, Rupert Murdoch and his sons, James and Lachlan, made their call after reviewing the results of an internal investigation that found that multiple women had reported inappropriate behavior by Mr. O’Reilly.

Here's a link to the entire article.

I LOVE to see people that talked shit about Michael have bad things happen to them, and this right here is too perfect and oh so very ironic.
This bitch is getting some of what he deserves.
Yes Gawd.:jump:

Finally that loser's gone. And it's about fricking time too.
 
this is interesting to me... REASON?

Because the allegations against him is very much the type that I would expect for him... But because he is such a large figure on FOX It was hard to imagine him actually getting in enough trouble to get booted off of the network..


Boy Bye!
 

This is my favorite video of him freaking out !

so glad he's gone, he was mean to Michael and saying things about him that were not true :doh:
 
^That's hilarious!

He got really angry at the world because he doesn't understand basic English! haahahah
 
^^^HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Who doesn't know what "play us out" means-I'd think you'd figure it out even if you weren't in showbiz. How darn embarrassing.


Just read that somebody is now accusing Sean Hannity of sexual harassment. I find this all quite funny-mainly because Fox has been hiring really attractive bombshell types as commentators for a long time and there were even videos going around last year making fun of this. They've been obviously playing up to a male middle age/older demographic. Sexual harassment was pretty darn common in the 70's, 80's and 90's-so I would think anything at Fox would be an open secret and almost expected.

I just wish the sponsors had dropped them all for HATE MONGERING, not sexual harassment.
 
About ****ing time.....FOX 5 was only worried about the shitload of revenue they would have lost had they kept him and the legal actions proceeding. All they worry about is their money and propoganda.
 
This is one of the best decisions Fox has made in the last several years..
