One thing that bothered me about O' Reilly is that he constantly interrupted whoever he was interviewing. Other than that, he was okay. Kind of full of himself, but that's what happens a lot of times when you have success. It goes to your head.
Regarding the allegations, it seems the things he's accused of happened more than once or twice, which might lead you to believe there's something to it. Paying off people doesn't really make you look innocent, either. It look like hush money.
As for this being a witch hunt, there is probably something to that, too, but I think FOX did the right thing.
I suspect that the people at FOX know more about the allegations than anyone, and yes, they probably did the right thing. I doubt they would kill off their cash cow without serious thought going into it, first. I know advertisers were pulling their money from his show, but they stand to lose viewers, too, among some of the fans who will never believe he did such a thing.
As for interrupting, yeah, he did it a lot, but was downright courteous compared to Hannity. That is one man I simply will not watch, ever. I can't even bring myself to "hate watch" his show.
There are many visit facets to Fox News from Hannity to Chris Wallace, Hannity is pure propaganda where as Wallace is one of the fairest people on the networks. Mixed in between are The Five, Bret Bair and others that are meant to be entertaining. Hannity will have the highest ratings now, O'Reilly was arrogant but he was fair.
I really like The First 100 with Martha MacCallum. I hope she keeps that show, but they obviously should rename it.
Despite loosing key sponsorship, the O' Reilly thing had the potential to derail Fox's intent to acquire Sky in the UK and the board was willing to sacrafice O' Reilly for a bigger fish.
The O'Reilly Facto was the top rated news show for 16 years running for a good reason, it was the best news show of this generation at the very least. The 'Watters World' segment was also the funniest news segment on cable as well.
I don't know if O'Reilly did anything wrong, it's a he said she said and usually most people take the women's side if it's disputed.
The point to me is that when you work for someone else, no matter how good you are at your job, you are at their whim.
I hope O'Reilly gets a new show or new network to crush the new direction of Fox News. If he did something improper, I hope he learned his lesson.
For now, thanks Bill O'Reilly.
totally agree with you: I don't like him as a person, or don't think I would: his ego is way too big, but i don't watch TV personalities because I like them personally. I watch because I like what they say or do. I am also very unhappy with the way FOX is changing the scheduling: moving "the 5"to 8pm and putting Tucker in O'Reilly's place. If O'Reilly had to go, I would have preferred someone else take over his spot

There's another possibility. Hannity may have been encouraging some employees to file suit to eliminate the competition.
YouTube is full of out take clips of O' Reilly having huge temper tantrums over the years.
His divorce and custody battle has been all over the NY tabloid papers for years. When your daughter testifies that her father dragged her mother down the stairs by her neck.........He sought a court order to seal his divorce documents.
There's been a local buzz about alcoholism, on and off the wagon thing, for years.
Just because one loves the guy does not mean he's a saint, off camera. Just because one dislikes the guy does not automatically make him guilty of all claims.
None of us know what's what off camera. Opinions are not facts.
BULL! and yes, I know the difference, my husband was in the field for 40 years.
BTW: I have to wonder about some of these posts: I have to wonder how often, if ever did you watch his show? And as for Maxine Waters saying he should go to jail, OMG, anyone who pays any attention to what she says is a real nut case. It is amazing how many libs are clapping as hard as they can now that he is gone.

If this was the greatest news show, this pretty much solidify the nation is still very racist. Bill O'Reilly spoke bad on black people for 20 years. Good riddance!!!!!
