Bill O might be a womanizer, but I don't see him as the type who takes advantage of women or that the high-heeled, blonde chicks are afraid that he might assault them sexually or rape them!

He made lewd suggestions to a number of FNC women. He'd call them up and breath heavy while whacking off. Supposedly, a few of them had recordings. The latest one to come forward was a black woman staffer who was sick of him calling her "hot chocolate".

It might not be rape or sexual assault but it is well beyond just being obnoxious.

What the hell. O'Reilly and Ailes were rich as hell, could find women to put up with them while dating or just hire escorts to get sex. Instead, they had to perv their way around Fox News and the hot blonde women who worked there 'cause those women were handy at work and they thought they were too charming and sexy to have to pay for sex, despite being disgusting old goats.

It's kinda pathetic really.

Many conservatives are hoping O’Reilly will join with Roger Ailes and start a new network to compete with FOX News.

I am no fan of either Bill O’Reilly or Roger Ailes.

I am however a huge fan of justice. I have read where charges against them were made, and huge monetary settlements were paid out, but I never read where they had any chance at all to defend themselves….either in a court of law or in the court of public opinion.

And that, I strongly feel was wrong….definitely wrong.

I didn’t closely follow either the situation with O’Reilly or Ailes. I would only hear or read a minute of so comment made from time to time. I remember that supposedly 10 or so women came forward with a statement that they had been “sexually offended” by what O’Reilly said to them.

I remember the last two made against O’Reilly.

One who said she was “sexually offended, was a black female who had an office nearby O’Reilly’s office and as he would pass by he would occasionally refer to her as “hot chocolate”….as in “how is my hot chocolate doing today?” Now, I am not a black woman. But I feel if I were and some world famous male referred to me “hot chocolate” then I would feel highly complimented.

The one I heard yesterday, was a woman who came forward and stated that she was “sexually offended” by O’Reilly because he occasionally said “you’re looking good” to her.

Until I learn factual truth, I say all of the charges and actions against O [Reilly and Ailes went beyond stupid.

If it is proven that either O’Reilly or Ailes did something for which they should have been fired….then I am comfortable with that and they should have been fired. But that they were fired simply because women came forward with “charges” raised my hackles.

Many conservatives are hoping O’Reilly will join with Roger Ailes and start a new network to compete with FOX News.

I say “go for it” Bill and Roger. And if you join together to form an new network, then I will turn every TV set in my home to your new channel 24/7/365, except to channel select on the one I am watching, to add to the ratings. Furthermore, I will actively email support to all the advertisers. I will then continue to do everything I can to make the new venture a success….including becoming a stock holder.

Gawd, I hate “jump on tactics” and agenda drives by “PC critters” with a passion….as much as I dislike “cop-haters” who show no justification for their opinions and condemnation remarks which they base their solely on what they read in fake news and yellow journalism articles.

Bill and Roger, you two can become our modern day version of the “Lone Ranger” and “Tonto” …

" Bill O might be a womanizer, but . . . "

Well, hr is that, and it sounds like he is weird.

But, at least they can not call him " Gay ". At least, not yet.

He made lewd suggestions to a number of FNC women. He made lewd suggestions to a number of FNC women.

It has been only alleged that Bill O did this….RIGHT?

They were the most powerful people at the network. I think they had plenty of representation to tell their side of the story.

They weren't shitcanned for no good reason. The Murdochs aren't dumb. O'Reilly was a regular gold mine for them.

An underreported aspect here is that dumping O'Reilly is considered to strengthen the bid being made by the Murdoch boys to buy Sky cable in Britain. After Lachlan's little media spying scandal, they are under extra scrutiny but firing O'Reilly supposedly makes them look more responsible and mainstream.

So firing O'Reilly to help them close on a huge media purchase in Europe makes some sense. And how many more years was O'Blarney going to keep going anyway? The Murdoch boys are young and looking decades down the road, well beyond any tenure O'Reilly could have had.

Many conservatives are hoping O’Reilly will join with Roger Ailes and start a new network to compete with FOX News.

Maybe. Typically, these high-end media contracts contain no-compete clauses. So with Ailes taking $40M and O'Reilly taking $25M in separation allowance for early contract termination, there are probably clauses in that that prevent them from discussing the settlement or the case(s) in public or in working for any other network for a few years.

Look at Dan Rather on that HDNet channel with his sad little show. Or Larry King who, I think, ended up on RussiaToday. Or even Leno who decided to just fully retire and not come back again.

I think they're both gone for good.

It has been only alleged that Bill O did this….RIGHT?

They haven't been in court and the settlements silence the women with NDAs.

I know, I am not arguing with you.

I am saying, we are only dealing with allegations and public opinion.

And fear of adverse public opinion dictated actions in both these cases.

Fear of losing big lawsuits and the public's reaction is more accurate.

If they could have kept him, they probably would have.

I notice a lot of media outlets mentioning the Sky cable angle, that that is what James and Lachlan Murdoch were most worried about. Lachlan initially sided with Rupert on keeping O'Reilly but moved over to James' side as the internal investigation proceeded, at least according to the rumor mill. We had the same rumors about Lachlan sticking with Rupert on Ailes too, until James convinced him that Ailes had to go.

If the story was from freethoughtproject the headline would read; "END OF AN ERA: Murdoch Family Fires Innocent Bill O’Reilly."

"Promotes Bob Beckel and Juan Williams"

Promoted them from what to what? "Promoted" because FOX moved “The Five” to the 9 PM slot?

Hardly a promotion, eh?

These two shills for the leftist agenda and the death of America should have their own show. Add a fifth true Conservative to the group.

"These two shills for the leftist agenda and the death of America should have their own show."

Too bad the other networks don't balance their panels with two conservatives.

A silly assertion.

They are contracted paid contributors at FNC. So it is unlikely they get anything more out of their current contract unless they get to renegotiate due to moving from afternoon to primetime.

I wouldn't bet that they're getting any more money. Not under their current contract.

"They are contracted paid contributors at FNC. So it is unlikely they get anything more out of their current contract unless they get to renegotiate due to moving from afternoon to primetime."

But ... but ... the headine says they were promoted. Is that a lie? Would they lie to us just to get us to click on the article?

Would they lie to us just to get us to click on the article?

Perish the thought. Now I'm a little ashamed of myself.

Too bad Andrea Tantaros is gone. Best legs on TV and 'The Five' showed them off nicely.

.....and she had a brain! Wonder what happened to that gal?

Report: James Murdoch plans to turn Fox News into yet another progressive establishment news outlet

Andrea Tantaros thrust back in the spotlight, and like everyone else… she’s coming with a lawsuit
