Fox News decides to let go of Bill O'Reilly

Bacon props!!
Good riddance to the most arrogant prick on television. It's blowhards like him that make me despise the media. No spin zone my ass!
Although it's unrelated, I hope this is what Trump means by "draining the swamp".
In other news, my friend Louis C.K. has made a new release of his stand up show titled "2017"! I highly recommend having a ball busting laugh out loud time streaming it on Net Flix. His opener about abortions and suicide amazes you how he can tip toe into the gray area of disturbing comedy, and he pulls it off! His sick as fuck mind really comes through in this one. Watch it and tell me what you think.

That's 2 very powerful guts @ Fox getting canned for sexual harassment - it's a sign of the times.
Howard Stern has been riding his ass for weeks on his show.
I really hate when the bullying tactics from the left get results.

I'm sure Alex Jones is laughing his ass off, or would be if his high profile divorce wasn't singing his backside.
If Bill has played his cards smart (other than legal fees on cases Fox seems to have settled for him) he has a fair nest egg, including royalties on a number of books. Bill will have more time to right more historical fiction about killing off dead presidents, generals and historical or religious icons, mostly in poor taste (but they sell like hot cakes). Maybe Woodrow Wilson or Garfield or FDR next? Buddha or Gandhi or Muhammad?? He's got time...
In spite of his 'Conservative' image Bill has declared he is NOT an conservative, liberal, libertarian- he eschews labels and prior to Fox was an element of the 'Mainstream media' many of his viewers purport to despise. Makes me wonder if his basic allegiance is to what is best for Bill's wallet- and yes, a formerly 'progressive' commentator comes to mind here: Bill Schultz. The 'Prairie Populist' made a transition from sports broadcaster to mild conservative talk show host to the flagship lefty voice of MSNBC and is now (ulp) the American face of Putin on RT USA. Bill's recent scandal doesn't look great on a broadcasting resume and I'm thinking he might be doing some similar ideological gymnastics (Glenn Beck comes to mind here), because when you're yesterdays news in the industry, you spout the line of the person who writes the checks. I may be cynical but in the end I think these guys are just media whores anyway. Bill would do well to stay retired and work on his 'historical novels' or other books, or just do stump speeches for true believers at 50k a pop, if he does anchor again we could see what a chameleon is really behind Bill O'Reilly's face .
Then again, you never know. If Sean Spicer really fucks up I wouldn't put it past Donald Trump to make O'Reilly the press secretary, turning the no-spin zone into the constant spin zone.
Sorry for the quasi political post.
End of an era.I don't think he was good, but not as bad as people say either.
It was an opening for the left to go after him and get rid of a high-profile conservative - they stirred the hornet's nest w/ everything they had
The StripperWeb chicks must be having orgasms knowing how these Fox chicks got paid.
How the mighty have fallen. Good riddance is right. I never cared for him representing the conservative values. He made the leftist liberals look like saints.
Shit, past "good morning" and work related topics I'm very careful what I say to my sexy co-workers. Those honey's are just waiting for opportunity to cash in regardless of who's life is ruined.
I thought for sure that would be the biggest comedy hit to come out in a long time. Who else can pull off a bit about abortions and suicide and kill? Only my friend Louis.

Almost sounds like an obituary. He'll end up with another job and his legion of nutcases will follow. He also gets to pocket his $25mm in severance from Fox. Poor guy.
It's no different that so-call religious freedom laws. States will pass religious freedom laws until its shown that companies will avoid your state and cause revenues to fall, then because of $, the states will change their tune. (NCAA, Apple, Salesforce.com). It's more due to the mighty dollar than any moral or noble cause.
I agree with the outcome just not the tactics.
