Fox News is preparing to fire Bill O'Reilly

[hardcoreconservative98]

It was just announced.

Man, he hasn't been convicted of anything. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

 

[waltky]

O'Really?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

He's been hit with allegations before, this time it must be really bad.

That would cut their own throats. The last complaint was that it was sexual harassment to not sexually harass her.

If Bill O'Reilly isn't free to sexually harass his co-workers then are any of us truly free?

 

[Super_Lantern]

End of an era.

The latest complaint was that he totally ignored a clerical worker and leered at her when she wasn't looking.

If ignoring someone is sexual harassment then everyone is guilty of sexual harassment. No exceptions.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

That would end Fox News dominance.

I don't trust the WSJ. But we'll see.

Ain't no such thing as innocent till proven guilty in show biz

 

[beagle9]

So they're trying to Herman Cain O'Reilly now eh ? On and on it all goes where men and women collide in the workplace, and also in the military. It's going to get to the point where neither will trust the other any longer, then what ??? If O'Reilly is guilty, then what a shame it will be, but what's worse is the long term affects that all these situations will be bringing to the table now. Good grief..

No. They would not ditch bill over such petty bullshit.

 

[Dr Grump]

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy...

 

[skye]

That would end Fox News dominance.

Fox is becoming more like CNN every day.

There are only a handful of people who are true conservatives all the rest are demrats.

Sad.

Don't you ever get tired of cleaning up after your hero's mistakes? And you have so many heroes making so many mistakes!

Fox News would not let the biggest name on their station go over such an allegation. O'Reilly clearly has a history that has required Fox to payout millions in legal settlements.

Remember, it doesn't matter if he retains his millions of viewers, it all comes down to the advertisers, and if they're afraid of the fallout they'll receive if they advertise during his show, then FOX will have to let him go.

 

[deannalw]

No one even knows what exactly happened but here some of you are with excuses or hand clapping.
I'll be really disappointed and pretty disgusted if he's been a vile old shit... but I believe I'll wait and see if I need to feel those things

As we have learned from all the manufactured outrage against Rush Limbaugh, advertisers come back. Viewers leave permanently.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Keep in mind folks, we are in a whole new era.
There was a time when threats of boycotts never went anywhere, and advertisers knew it.
Today, with the networking of the internet, and the divide in the country, advertisers know they can genuinely be hurt.
Just ask Limbaugh.
In the 90's, the opposition could threaten all they wanted, nothing ever happened.
Today, once the word gets out and goes viral, you can take a huge hit.
