Now a new accuser has come forward anonymously with lawyer representation. She is a black woman claiming that he called her "hot chocolate". Without a photo, I don't know if she really is hot chocolate.

Glenn Beck got fired from Fox and it's made him rich. I predict the same for Billo. The writing may have been on the wall for him as soon as Ailes was gone, because compared to Ailes, the Murdochs place a higher priority on profit relative to politics.
I'd almost forgotten the Falklands thing. |

I'm just not confident Fox will replace him with someone I will instinctively dislike. I want Batman to win, but I don't really want him to kill off Penguin. Batman needs Penguin. I need Billo.
Maybe they can hire Alex Jones. |

Bill O'Reilly should be replaced by Bill Cosby.
That way the good people at Fox News will be able to have a sexual predator that knows comedy. |

Why is this a big deal, he has been a known sexual preditor for decades. Why do people care about that now when it wasn't a big deal in 2004?

" Ding Dong, the Witch Is Dead, The Wicked Witch The Witch is Dead, Ding Dong The Wicked Witch Is Dead"
O'Reilly will not be hurting for money, he is already a wealthy man. Now he can ghost write even more books on history which do nothing but swipe from better books on the topic..... I doubt he going to be offered or take a job with the White Hours. He is a bit to toxic for that, and he had a equivocal attitude toward Trump until after the election, and even then he never quite blindly worshipped the man the way that Hannity did......and blind loyalty is required at the Trump Whtie House. |

The recent contract was about enabling a nice fat golden parachute?

If memory serves, the contract was signed before the story became big time.
But even without a nice golden parachute, O Reilly was a wealthy man. What cracked me up is his trying to be the voice of morality on TV, after he got his start hosting Inside Edition, the scummists of all the "tabloid TV" shows of the 90's. |

Genuinely curious what his next move will be. His toxicity may limit his opportunities but the size of his fanbase suggests that he won't stay on the shelf for long.

Notice that Fox announced this on a day when the Aaron Herdnandez suicide is dominating the news. I don't think that is a coincidence.

I'm sad. It's not that I agreed with his views, I usually didn't. It's that his show was so entertaining. He's a horndog, presumably getting too old to practice, the girls are now millionaires, that should be enough.
No way I will waste my time watching Tucker Carlson. |
