I don't see it.

67 years old, tons of baggage...

Maybe a satellite radio channel will take a flyer on him. His days as a nationwide personality are over.

And he'll definitely have to agree to a clause that will void his contract if he's accused of and settles any sexual harassment claims.

Papa bear is gone...never to be seen again. Ratings don't matter when you have no sponsors. Look how many pulled out. He is a liability now and forever.

I agree. However, even the people who enjoyed his show shouldn't feel sorry for him. He will leave with a severance package worth more than most of us make in a lifetime.

She sounded like a left wing lawyer with only one goal... to nail a Republican tv host!
Delighted to see she took OReilly down down down. Tonight Bloom is on TV and she smiled, hell everyone smiled as she said she had a plan to take down O'Reilly. Delighted .


O'Reilly is going to have to find some little dark hole for his acolytes

Thanks in advance.
Please tell me what CNN has to do with Bill O'Reilly?

I'm certainly not defending them. If they have lawsuits pending, the courts will decide.

Huh?

He has a LONG list of accusations like these.

It finally caught up with him.

I think that on the off chance THIS many women are just fabricating lies, the courts will decide in his favor.

He became a liability to Fox.

I am doubtful they let a guy who makes them that much money go unless they think he's guilty.

If he offended someone with mere words or unwanted advances then these ladies need to grow up a bit and just tell him to buzz off. I am not defending this type of behavior but question how easily some people become offended to begin with. You ask if it were my wife or daughter? In that case I would not deal with it in a court room, in that case I would prefer to settle it man to man privately. We have become a society of folks who are too thin skinned. Really no one has proven that oreilly even did any of this and I strongly believe it to be politically motivated.
So... you do not think the women in your life deserve a harassment-free workplace?

I doubt it this has a thing to do with politics.

Remember...Trump is president.

If anything, political correctness is out the window.

Default Ode to 'O'Reilly Factor' - Best News Show Possibly ever

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.
