Forums - Politics Discussion - Bill O’Reilly Is Forced Out at Fox News

Bill O’Reilly has been forced out of his position as a prime-time host on Fox News, the company said on Wednesday, after the disclosure of multiple settlements involving sexual harassment allegations against him. His ouster brings an abrupt and embarrassing end to his two-decade reign as one of the most popular and influential commentators in television.

“After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the company and Bill O’Reilly have agreed that Bill O’Reilly will not be returning to the Fox News Channel,” 21st Century Fox, Fox News’s parent company, said in a statement.

This is pretty big, thoughts on the whole matter?

Lol -That is all.



Don't really know enough to have an opinion yet.



I don't think I've ever watched Fox News so it's mostly irrelevant for me. From what I here he is a piece of shit, so good decision on FOX, even though it was definitely a financial move, not one of ethics.

Bullshit.

They were not concerned about this during the what, 15 years, that it's been going on? His former boss Roger Ailes, did the same, and worse for many years, and was removed from the network just around a year ago when it came out to the public.

Fox and Ailes knew about O'Reilly's sexual harassment alegations for many years. It wasn't until companies started pulling adds from the channel and they started losing millions because of this that they fired him. It was the same with Ailes.

What exactly did he do?

Trump said he did nothing wrong.



I will miss his talks with Dennis Miller. I hope Denis create a Youtube podcast or something, I enjoy him a lot.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

It was also announced on the Fox News website as well so go figure.

Assuming the worst, this sounds like the Michael Jackson syndrone.  You're on top of you game only to be brought down by "questionable" behavior.  That's life for some.



Neocons will label this as the actions of George Soros and liberals lol. Watch people ignore the fact that he harassed people and see arguments whining about free speech

Makes sense.
Trump thinks it's not wrong to kiss women and grab them by their genitals without approval.

He said "They let you grab them by the pussy" Thats not without approval.
