Members Roman Posted April 19, 2017 Members Share Posted April 19, 2017 Agreed. I voted for him during the primaries last year....but he wouldn't get my vote now. They have young dems who are ready to get in the scrum....time for the old guard to move out and let the young turks take over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 19, 2017 Members Share Posted April 19, 2017 I wonder if between this and Megyn Kelly leaving Faux News is going to move away from the cult of personality and try not to build their on-air people up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted April 19, 2017 Members Share Posted April 19, 2017 ^ I can't even guess Carl. They've apparently made a boat load of money off the cult of personality. At times like this it does seem like a double edged sword though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 19, 2017 Members Share Posted April 19, 2017 So apparently Rupert Murdoch's sons pushed him out. http://www.afr.com/news/world/north-america/rupert-murdoch-cedes-power-to-sons-on-bill-oreilly-sacking-20170419-gvo7hx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted April 19, 2017 Members Share Posted April 19, 2017 ^ Good. I can only hope that there are people out there with credible cases that can sue him. It makes me sick to think that he is walking away with a golden parachute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 19, 2017 Members Share Posted April 19, 2017 I saw some comments elsewhere that suggested one of the reasons may have been NY's public advocate pushing for investigations. If so, good for her. http://www.amny.com/news/bill-o-reilly-fox-news-should-be-investigated-by-city-federal-agencies-letitia-james-says-1.13444638 I had no idea until all this started that they had paid the loofah woman $9 million. I guess they made far more on him. And I'll still have to see his books every time I go in the chain bookstore. Bleh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 20, 2017 Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 Me, when I heard the news of O'Reilly's firing: "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!" (Of course, I'm sure he'll be back on TV in no time. Still, a victory is a victory.) The next jackasses are already there. And their names are Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. Please register in order to view this content I, for one, wish this would also spell the end of those damn "Killing" books that O'Reilly slapped his name on. If there's one thing I can't tolerate, it's someone pumping out pseudo-history books that are poorly written and heavily biased. Stay classy, Billy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted April 20, 2017 Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 The current administration? Yes. CNN? Not to sound too un-cynical to be here (I need to work on it more!), but I genuinely don't think so, even if it's just because of the sponsors he lost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted April 20, 2017 Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 I wonder.....is a another woman involved? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted April 20, 2017 Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 And here's the Sam Bee version: This is really embarrassing, but I used to have a HUGE crush on Tucker Carlson despite myself when I was a teenager, despite disagreeing with almost everything he said even then. I thought he was so cute. Now I just wish someone would choke him with his bow tie. My former Governor made him his bitch in an interview a few months ago, though. It was glorious.

Members Juliajms Posted April 20, 2017 Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 I expect him to turn up on talk radio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted April 20, 2017 Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 I predict he's going to take a stab at an internet presences like Palin and Beck did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted April 20, 2017 Members Share Posted April 20, 2017 he's got the money....21st Century apparently gave O'Reilly 25 million as a settlement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
