Fox News Fires Bill O’Reilly Amid Sexual Harassment Storm Variety 17 minutes ago [Photo via Newscom] In a shocking reversal of fortune for one of the most prominent voices in TV news, Bill O’Reilly has been ousted from Fox News Channel amid the firestorm over sexual harassment allegations leveled against the host in recent years. Parent company 21st Century Fox said Wednesday: “After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the Company and Bill O’Reilly have agreed that Bill O’Reilly will not be returning to the Fox News Channel.” The decision to turn O’Reilly loose appears to have been made between Tuesday and Wednesday by the Murdochs, the family who control the operations of Fox News parent 21st Century Fox. O’Reilly has been off the air since last Wednesday, part of what was billed a planned vacation around the Easter holiday. He had initially planned to return to his 8 p.m. show “The O’Reilly Factor” on April 24. But as outrage mounted and new allegations of inappropriate behavior surfaced, it became clear to the Murdochs and other leaders of Fox News parent company 21st Century Fox that the company could no longer afford to back the star who helped bring Fox News to prominence nearly 20 years ago. O’Reilly has been enmeshed in controversy since the start of this month after The New York Times reported that five women have received payments coming to about $13 million in exchange for agreeing not to pursue litigation or speak about accusations related to sexual harassment or inappropriate behavior. O’Reilly has denied the allegations and said he entered into settlements to spare his family. O’Reilly’s attorney said Tuesday that the host was the target of a “smear campaign” funded by far-left advocacy groups. As the controversy snowballed Dozens of advertisers have yanked their commercials from his program and insisted they run elsewhere in Fox News’ programming schedule. Producers have had to prepare for eight to ten minutes of additional content each night on the network’s “Factor” to make up for the migrating ad time. The O’Reilly controversy surfaced as Fox News Channel and its parent continue to grapple with legal matters related to last year’s departure of Roger Ailes, the network’s founder and former CEO. He was ousted in 2016 in the wake of an internal investigation into sexual harassment allegations levied at him by Gretchen Carlson, a former Fox News anchor. The probe by the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison, turned up other accusations, all of which Ailes denied. Fox had to bring in the law firm again after a former female Fox contributor made a new allegation via a corporate hotline put in place to give employees a way to make intolerable workplace conditions known. The anchor’s departure may solve one problem, but it will raise another. “The O’Reilly Factor” is the linchpin of the Fox News primetime lineup, and has delivered between 3 million and 4 million viewers each night. A new anchor might not generate that type of viewership, leaving Fox News to find new ways to meet ratings guarantees it has made to advertisers. The network will also want to determine how to maintain audience consistency for the rest of its lineup, which includes Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. FOXNEWS in a death Spiral... B/A

Nicely done, thanks Big Man!!! B/A

Hillarious... Crook. Donald Trump... Crook. The Kennedys, The Bushs, Richard Nixon, Mitch McConnell, Anthony Weiner, Nancy Pelosi, Crook, Crook, Crook... I can go on. B/A

I am Pro-Union, the problem is that America ranks outside the top twenty in the world for math, science, engineering. I know living near the Volkswagen plant, they cannot find educated workers to fill their jobs, so they bring in people from Europe to fill key positions. That is a huge problem for American business. I don't like it, and I think we need to do a better job with education. There are many high schools now that do not allow an honor roll. There is no incentive to succeed... The manby panby American society doesn't want to hurt the feelings of their young. I have mentioned my 15 year old works, pays for her phone, tablet, going rolling skating and more. My friend think I'm too hard on her. I have one friend who has a 14 year old and he carries her book-bag, ties her shoes. It's insane. I blame liberals for our education system. I blame corporations for not investing more in training. I don't like either the democratic or republican parties. Their agendas do not align with what is best for America, and yet almost everyone I know votes for one or the other. We need strong independent voices that are not bought and paid for. B/A

I'm with you... They are good for a laugh... If readers want truth, this isn't the section for it. B/A

sieg heil B/A

Hmmm kill a few birds with renewable energy or kill the planet burning fossil fuels... Today's use of oil, coal and natural gas is becoming outdated quickly. It is like killing whales for their blubber... In 100 years people will ask, did they really do that. B/A

I do agree with Alex on one thing... 911 was an inside job. B/A

Okay, that's awesome... Good one B/A

Because if you don't blindly agree the mob gets offended... trust me I know. B/A

Sadly it is a corporation and we know how they treat their people. B/A

That's a possibility, but more likely not. I just don't see the system as corrupt as it is turning over... This is a way of life for these criminals. B/A

We'll see... The number government employees may increase greatly if he continues trying to conquer the world. His march to war in the last two weeks is in complete contrast with America first. And by flexing his power he now has the old guard singing his praises unlike a few weeks ago when McCain and Graham were hating on him. Don't you see, he is falling in with the establishment? B/A

The only thing I can say, is privacy is a thing of the past. As for democrats, you might want to get used to them because after this clown is done, they will unfortunately be back. He has been set up as the patsy and the system will destroy him. Not me, not you, but those who control everything. B/A

I do acquire gold and silver, but I just can't wrap my mind around cryptocurrency. I can't see how it gets or keeps value. I guess I'm too old school to believe in anything electronic. It seems to me and I'm probably wrong because I don't understand it, that one good hit to the grid would take out an electronic based currency. B/A

TRUMP: 'What am I going to do? Start a trade war with China' while we're trying to solve North Korea? Maxwell Tani,Business Insider 2 hours 39 minutes ago (Donald Trump on Fox News.Fox News) President Donald Trump on Tuesday dismissed speculation that he was backing away from his tough talk on China, despite demonizing the country repeatedly during the 2016 presidential campaign. "I didn't soften my stance," Trump said in an interview with Fox News. Still, Trump dubbed Chinese President Xi Jinping a "terrific person," saying the two leaders spent hours together and had "good chemistry." Trump said he was working with the Chinese president to confront North Korea's attempts to develop a missile capable of reaching the US mainland, saying Xi "understands it's a big problem." "What am I going to do? Start a trade war with China while in the middle of him working on a bigger problem, frankly, with North Korea?" Trump said. "So, I'm dealing with China with great respect. I have great respect for him." He added: "Now, we'll see what he can do. Now, maybe he won't be able to help. That's possible. I think he's trying. But, maybe he won't be able to help, and that's a whole different story. But, we'll see what happens." Trump repeated his criticism of critics who pointed out that he changed his position on China, saying his policies toward the country were successful and resulted in persuading China to take a harder line on North Korea. "What am I going to do? In the middle of him talking with North Korea I'm going to hit them with currency manipulation?" Trump said. "This is the fake media that just does a number." During the 2016 election, Trump frequently complained that Chinese leaders were outmaneuvering the US to increase exports and pledged to label China a currency manipulator on his first day in office, a move he subsequently did not take. The Department of the Treasury under the new administration declined to label the country a currency manipulator last week. Ain't politics a *****? B/A

So Coors you want more government? You want your president to tell you how to run your business? This is more of the same thing. I don't see the swamp being drained I see it growing by the hour. And again, he is playing by different rules than he wants us to play by.. That sounds like the same ol' story to me... So much for change. B/A

I think this article is very well written with educational insight. The collapse is coming and no one not even President Trump will stop it. This is how the rich get richer. Right now retail investors (that's you and me, not institutional) are buying into the biggest bubble ever. When the shoe drops, the institutional investors will already be out of the markets. The retail investors will be left holding worthless paper. Think about how many people have their lives saving in 401Ks. Most are in stocks not bonds or money markets. Greed is in control, everyone want BIG returns. If invested in bonds and such, when stock crash you will still have your money. History is always a great teacher. Do some research and learn to protect your savings. Earning 3 or 4 percent for the next 20 years is far better than earning 20 percent this year and losing 60 percent next year. On a side note LGD, one might think Trump told China, "Give my daughter her trademarks, or I'll cut you off" Funny she got what she wanted after that meeting. What did you get? B/A

Not mention it doesn't seem to apply to the inner circle... Conflict of trust... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4421374/Ivanka-Trump-received-lucratice-China-trademarks.html

I love the concept. But the global trade can't be fixed with the stroke of one man's pen... That is a bit unconstitutional. He isn't a king. And we should lead by example.... http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/here-are-all-trump-products-made-overseas
