The Bill O'Reilly Scandal

ModerateGOP said:
advertising $$$ are fleeing O'Reilly. We've seen this dance before and few icons have survived it. Will Bill? Thoughts? Concerns?

He'll survive because it seems to be somewhat of a corporate culture at Fox News. You harass 'em and we pay 'em off. Sad.

I can't stand the guy. Haven't watched him since 2001. It irks me that a good, decent man like Bret Baier has to work for the same network as this arrogant ass and that creepy Hannity.
 
Bill may not make them as much money as before but he still makes them more than anyone else. Until that changes he isn't going anywhere.

What about all the women that have been sexually assaulted there over the years? It's all coming out now, I'm not sure how much longer they can hold on. There might not be a Fox News in a year or two.

Yup, there was the Gretchen Carlson payoff not too long ago, and many other accusations, and probably a lot we don't even know about. Fox News, IMO, is in shambles right now.

Well, there are two things that might change that. 1) Ailes is gone , due to the same issue. And 2) Money talks, and advertising dollars are fleeing his show.

When you got major advertisers fleeing, that is changing. It's up to 18 major companies.. and I would not be surprised if more jump on the bandwagon.
 
Perhaps his next book should be Killing Fox.

He tried to explain it by saying he's rich, that's why. All these women are similar in looks even down to the face. You can't tell me they are doing this for money. O'Reilly is a sleaze ball just ask his wife. She went through the same thing. He's a predator and should be fired. If he was anybody else he would have been, but now it looks like he will be anyway.

O'Reilly is the voice of the ALT Right. He gets his constituents riled up, and they feed on that anger. They'll be back for more. He's their heroin fix. Heroin addicts don't care about a sex scandal.

A breathtakingly uninformed comment.

Shambles? I don't think so. They are the top rated 24 hour news network.
 
he was the voice of the sex-pests, and NOW he complains about the effect on his family?

Agreed. O'reilly if anything is a moderate. He is afraid to take any real conservative stands out of fear of what it would do to his "no spin" narrative.

From what I have seen, I don't agree at all with your assessment.
