Ok, I must admit I am shocked. It's apparently legit.

From CNN breaking news:
Bill O'Reilly is done at Fox News, its parent company 21st Century Fox said Wednesday.

"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," the company said in a statement.

Default Fox fires Bill O'Reilly!

Looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the Ailes tree.

In a shocking reversal of fortune for one of the most prominent voices in TV news, Bill O’Reilly has been ousted from Fox News Channel amid the firestorm over sexual harassment allegations leveled against the host in recent years.
Parent company 21st Century Fox said Wednesday: “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.”


I guess his vacation plans were of the permanent variety.

Hmm...my phone is pinging with the news from all news sources except one. Which one cold it be? Let's check their website, it must be on there. There's a "FOX NEWS ALERT" every time a welfare mother uses food stamps, but strangely, absolutely nothing yet about Bill O'Reilly. I'm sure the news release will say that he is leaving "to spend more time with his family."

This still doesn't make FOX a credible news organization.

I believe they are still negotiating whether Bill can make final on-air goodbye or not.

Do they still pay out his million dollar contract for doing nothing?

Shrug. His personal actions kind of made it a easy choice. Tucker Carlson may be replacing him. Lol. Wonder if ol Tucker will have the guts to invite jon Stewart on like orielly did.

Looking more and more like FOX News is the perve network - staffed by perves and likely watched by many of the same.
