Fox really taking it on the chin to do the right thing. O'Reilly brought in an estimated $200M in advertising revenues a year (that was before everyone started dumping him because of the sex harassment allegations).
Quite the Playboy Mansion they had going on at Fox.
Personally, I think O'Reilly was actually pretty decent, just too much of an obnoxious blowhard to watch.

I always thought O'Reilly was fair. What I didn't like about him was constantly interrupting his guest/s. It is hard to catch the point of view of an opposing opinion if they never finish their thought.
Not sure that I buy all the sexual harassment allegations. With today's progressive SJW feminists, it is very hard for me to instantly believe such claims. The whole "boy who called wolf" syndrome. I wish that it didn't come to this with my personal beliefs, but it's there, regardless.

Bill O'Reilly and fair do not belong in the same sentence. If you liked bill o'reilly it's because you're far right leaning. Which is fine. But fair? Like you said, the guy wouldn't let the opposition fucking finish their thoughts. That's not "fair".CenterBHSFan;1848751 wrote:I always thought O'Reilly was fair.

You're right. I could have worded that much better with something like "I thought HIS opinions were fair".SportsAndLady;1848753 wrote:Bill O'Reilly and fair do not belong in the same sentence.

I didn't like his style, but aside from having a conservative point of view, he frequently called out his conservative guests for bullshit. A conservative going on O'Reilly generally had a tougher task than a liberal going on one of many other shows. He didn't serve up softballs.SportsAndLady;1848753 wrote:If you liked bill o'reilly it's because you're far right leaning.
But he was insufferable to watch. Almost as bad as Hannity, who's a legit idiot. Hopefully Fox replaces him with someone actually worth watching.

I used to like Bill...like back in the mid-2000s. Haven't watched him in a long time. I don't know enough about the accusations to have an opinion on them.

His days were numbered anyway...Carlson was going to get the 8pm slot sooner rather than later.
That said, the level of #carez for an over-the-hill TV talking head is interesting I guess. It'll give the nutmuffins like #isaderp something to fap over for a couple days.

Lol, this forum is amazing for posts like this. Bill O'Reilly, a very well-respected and popular republican TV host gets canned for sexual harrassment, and your reaction: well, his days were numbered! And then somehow turned it around to call out democrats for being too PC and getting him fired for groping women in the workplace.fish82;1848817 wrote:His days were numbered anyway...Carlson was going to get the 8pm slot sooner rather than later.

The OC: Where conservatives bitch about the lib'rul media bias all day long, calling out networks and individuals, and still have time to mock libs for their "#carez" concerning a right-wing media guy who lost his job for allegedly being a POS while off the air.SportsAndLady;1848826 wrote:Lol, this forum is amazing for posts like this.

The OC is very talented at spin zones.

Yeah, everyone mocking him for the most part the joke is on them, because he is more than well off. Fox will just replace him with another obnoxious over the top conservative personality. Rinse and repeat.Spock;1848878 wrote:I am sure he left with a big check

Billy Bush, Roger “He’s very good person” Ailes, Bill “He is a good person” O’Reilly all would fit very well in a Trump Administration serving for the ***** Grabber and Chief.CenterBHSFan;1848895 wrote:Trump will probably hire him.
