View Full Version : Bill O' Reilly apparently fired....
....and I for one am glad. Looking up some news and it seems that they got sick of the BS, lost sponsors, and he paid out 13 mil for hush money.
Regardless of political affiliations or whatever....I couldnt stand him since at least 2000. He was war hawkish over Bosnia, always had some smug "I'm smarter than you" remark, and his 'Killing _______' books were not even as historically accurate as Harry Turtledove and he wrote about Civil War with AKs and Axis and Allies fighting Martians.
So to see his leprechaun ass on the bricks warmed my blackened and sullen heart today.
Megyn Kelly, Gretchen Carlson, and now this chump.
The purges are good. I'd almost say give Kennedy the time slot where she has on guests but has like a Kennedy's Korner where she talks about underground bands like Alternative Nation. Like she puts on her old jean jacket and talks about the latest in edgy, angry, and anti-social rock that is not lame. Better than that lame Waters World spiel.

meh. The libtards are more happy about this than the GA vote last night.
The only joy they can get is from Repubs problems.
As for Billy boy himself- ADI-FUVCKIN-OS. Good riddance.

I'm happy about it going to run-off. Assoff is one of them uppity rich kids. Millions of out of state dollars and couldnt get 50% against a cavalcade of Republicans in one of the bluest parts of the state.

He's a smug twit who thinks his every utterance qualifies as literature.
I won't miss him a bit.
He lost me when he came out in favor of an AWB and ridiculed Exxon Mobile for making money. How dare a business profit, they should give fuel away at cost. Silly capitalists.

That grinds my gears. People like Glenn Beck and O 'Reilly who simp and parse over "culture war" and Family Values yet would never refuse a crack pipe or a Pinoy ladyboy.

Im happy 'bout that too. As a GA boy-your thoughts on the Repubs chances in June?
Also- Doc is right, he is a smug, pompous ASS, and the shit Ive heard him WRONGLY say about guns & gun laws...factually wrong stuff- well he can go piss up a rope.
Also- I watched the film version of his book Killing Jesus on FOX Easter night. Left out so much detail, and to me, had Jesus acting as if HE didn't know who HE was. I was pissed. As the Bible says, you change, alter, add to or leave out something....its a sin. Screw O'Reilly.

I never could stand him. Dude thinks he's God's gift to earth and his opinions should be taken as gospel.
Not that I've watched cable news in almost a decade, but still.
If they get off their butts, Ossoff will lose spectacularly. If they keep on with the buck-buck games, he'll pull out the GSU college kid vote.
Maybe he'll move to CNN.. ;) I'd like to see Tucker take that slot.

Fixed if for ya.
Why was he the #1 show at Fox? I didn't like him and rarely, rarely watch any part of his show, unless there was someone interesting that he was interviewing. From the feelings on this forum, he's not a favorite here either. So then why was his show leading everybody else? Is it because the other shows are much worse?

I think he was a favorite amongst the senior crowd.

Honest answer: The Matlock bunch of old fogeys who always want to be angry at someone for something
He was #1 in the 25-50 (or whatever that was) demo as well.

Everybody chumps on the UZI. There are better guns out there.
Tucker Carlson, FWIW, stated on his show he owns an AR.
Ego, once again leads to a fall.
Tucker Carlson will be getting the 8PM Eastern Time slot. Seems to be a solid Conservative who engages the Left with cunning and intellect.
Tucker IS taking his spot. Bolling gets his own show at 5, and The Five is moving to 9 pm. Now I won't have to rush home from work to stare at KG.

I can't get past the vacant expression Carlson has whenever he's interviewing someone.
But yeah, O'Reilly's "common sense" ideas about the 2nd is why I stopped watching him. Typical yankee ignorance/arrogance.

You never played football?
That's the Lineman's Stare. It lets people get cocky then thats when they eff up. Tucker Carlson lets em talk and talk then bammo.
I gave up on O'Reilly years ago as a pompous ass. Seems like a NY Republican, i.e. definitely not pro-gun and a little more loose on social issues. The latter in and of itself doesn't bother me but the former is a big no-go.

It can be one or a combination of these choices:
1) M4C is not an accurate representation of the cable TV viewership.
2) Cable news ratings are all rigged. You know, like the national polls. ;)

Can't say I did. To me he just looks sort of...challenged. But to be fair I've never watched his show for more than a few minutes at the gym.

I just thought Carlson's blank stare was his incredulity at having to listen to all the liberal horseshit his guests shovel at him day after day.

Cool, Tucker is one of the few that actually challenges intellectually. The others.. rehashed talking points, Hannity interrupting with his same old bullet points.. Gets old quick. Gutfeld on the other hand is entertaining.

I despised Hannity for a while. Thought he was just a shill for the stupid party (GOP). But he's redeemed himself somewhat. I like Carlson; I just don't go out of my way to watch him.
The bottom line is: Whether O'Reilly is guilty of anything or not, sooner or later the old dog has to be put down. That's my take on it. He may be a ratings king but the people that are out to get him finally won the day and it wouldn't have mattered one whit if he's a sexual harasser or not. He just had enough enemies that he couldn't defeat them all.

Speaking strictly for myself, I couldn't give a rat's ass what some media personality comes or goes; big deal. Haven't watched anything on Fox in six months. Years for any of the other posers. Maybe Carlson is good, but "I just don't care anymore".

So grabbing them by the pu$$y didn't work out so well for him as it did for POTUS? Always found his smugness beyond my tolerance levels, so no loss.

Undoubtably true, The King is dead, long live the King, and Tuckers guests have learned that if they talk over him they never have to really answer any quantitive

Tucker Carlson, FWIW, stated on his show he owns an AR.
Point is, he didn't even take the time to learn the issue and promoted the idea that "machine guns" rather than semi auto's were the topic of discussion. We had our local Sheriff running TV spots with their deputies firing fully automatic AK-47s at cinder blocks and stating "these are the kinds of weapons banned by the Bill Clinton law, we don't need these on the streets."
When we actually got the sunset, I was contacted by several people who thought M-16s and Uzi's were now cheap and legal. I even got a few LEO's wanting to buy "real" M4s now that they were legal.
He lost me when he came out in favor of an AWB and ridiculed Exxon Mobile for making money. How dare a business profit, they should give fuel away at cost. Silly capitalists.
This, he is a liberal. A true neocon.
Oreally was douchebag emeritus at FOX because the useful idiots that watched him accepted him at face value, a talking head who attacks the left. I guess they never really figured out that he was a smug, arrogant a-hole who wasn't as far right as he pretended to be. Glad he's gone. Perhaps he can go challenge Limbaugh as the douchebag emeritus of radio.

Well, it's all over the place. Bill O'Reily got cut loose from Fox News.
A few women claim he sad nasty things to them.
Bill claims he didn't.
There is no evidence other than the "he said, she said" crap, so we may never know the truth. What we do know is that Fox news got scared and settle some law suits, and decided to cut bait. So Bill's out.
Now I'm reading people's comments on some forums and a guy suggests this youtube video. The chick in the video speaks like a person well educated, yet she does so with Army like profanity that I find kind of amusing. Listen to her while you're clicking on some posts... You may learn something.

Fox was well aware of his problems long ago. I find it hilarious that they issued this statement since they paid most of the settlement themselves.
"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,"
He's a tool. Glad to see him go.

It really emphasizes the whole; "My parents taught me to treat the janitor with the same respect I would treat the CEO."

People still watch the news on TV? I can't even remember the last time I did that.
Yawn..... I find it quite hilarious how news networks are still trying to remain relevant.
They are acting like it's now finally a problem the bill has been causing problems with women coworkers. Because that hasn't been happening at all for the last several decades...

I know we live in a society where a person is supposedly innocent until proven guilty, but the fact that Fox willingly paid off some of O'Reilly's accusers is a tacit admission of guilt in these parts. If it were me, I would not have given the conciliatory farewell statement that he gave. I'd think if he were truly innocent he'd be hopping mad, threatening libel lawsuits, and just in general defending his honor. The fact that he went gently into that good night makes me think he saw the writing on the wall and was grateful to get off (figuratively speaking) with minimal consequences other than his cash cow career at Fox is no more.
How much does anybody want to bet he shows up with a new show at CNN, Glenn Beck's network, or MSNBC, or something?
Any takers?

The guy was worth $85M prior to the contract payout. That is after a nasty divorce. He could spend the rest of his life snorting coke off strippers' asses and still die rich.
I'm hoping they get rid of that anal wart Hannity. All of his talk about having a black belt and being able to kill people with his bare hands has gotten a bit old.

This is what pisses me off about the world we live in. I could think of a dozen people off hand who have been of more benefit to society as a whole and are still south of their first million. It is what it is, but it still pisses me off.
If I had a 100 mil, none of youse would hear from me again. I'd be on the SS Hellbound with high dollar whores, dynamite fishing, flying rebel and pirate flags, with 240 guns laying about as home defense, blasting Van Halen and 2pac on the Lord's Own speakers, and wearing nothing but speedos, a silk kimono, shitty Gucci sunglasses, and a captain's hat.
I'd be living that International waters life everyday
but if I had a TV show, I'd just sit there, let them all talk and say "Maaan, you think like that everyday?! Lol, wow....."
ETA not really....I'd just live in seclusion and die a miser.
Double ETA: Who remembers Firing Line with William F. Buckley? I used to watch it in the day. Everybody said their piece and with at least some intelligence. That was the Gold Standard

Also, over the last fifteen years multiple psychology journals have published findings that show the correlation between leadership (particularly in the business world) and psychotic behavior lol.
