Is Bill O'Reilly Finally Fired?

BREAKING NEWS, GUYS.
ABOUT BILL O'REILLY.
THIS IS DRAMATIC.
HOLD, HOLD.
LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER TODAY TO
GIVE YOU CONTEXT INTO WHAT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING LATER
TODAY.
FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE REPORTS OUT ABOUT A NEW
SEXUAL HARASSMENT ISSUE FOR BILL O'REILLY.
THERE IS A NEW ACCUSER AND THE WOMAN, AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN WHO
WORKED AS A CLERICAL WORKER IN 2008 AT FOX NEWS CLAIMS BELOW
RIGHTLY ENGAGED IN A PATTERN OF HARASSMENT THAT LASTED FOR
MONTHS INCLUDING MAKING ANIMAL NOISES AT HER, I'M NOT SURE I
WANT TO KNOW WHICH ANIMAL, I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT DOES THE BOX SAY?
JUST NOW, I CAME UP WITH THAT.
AS YOU CAN TELL THOUGHT AND HE WAS APPARENTLY STARING AT
HER CLEAVAGE AND CALLING HER HOT CHOCOLATE PLAY.
1ST OF ALL, YOU ARE SO OLD.
NOT ONLY ARE YOU A PERV AND HAVE LEARNED NOTHING FROM ALL OF
THE DIFFERENT SEXUAL-HARASSMENT LAWSUITS THAT FOX NEWS AND
YOU HAVE HAD TO SUFFER.
ALL OF THE CALLS ARE YOU AT WERE ACCIDENTALLY RUBBED A
FALAFEL ON A WOMAN IN THE PHONE SEX WHICH WAS UNSOLICITED
AND UNREQUITED, BUT YOU GO AND CALL AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN
WOMAN HOT CHOCOLATE?
WHAT CENTURY ARE YOU FROM?
ANYWAY, LISA BLOOM, REPRESENTING SOME OF THE WOMEN WHO ARE SUING
TRUMP POINTS ON THIS CASE LIKE WENDY WALSH, THE OTHER PERSON
THAT LISA BLOOM IS REPRESENTING, THE NEW O'REILLY ACCUSER
WHO I REPRESENT IS NOT ASKING FOR MONEY, JUST ACCOUNTABILITY.
WATCH THIS SPACE SHE SAYS THAT ACTUALLY WE'RE WATCHING ALL
SPACE DYNAMIC RENEWING MAGAZINE.
THEY ARE REPORTING RESOURCES WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE
DISCUSSION SAID THAT BETWEEN THE MURDOCHS BOTH THE FATHER
RUPERT AND THE SONS JAMES AND LOCKLIN SAID THAT WHILE NO
FINAL DECISION HAS BEEN MADE, THE MURDOCHS ARE LEANING
TOWARD ANNOUNCING THAT O'REILLY WILL NOT RETURN TO THE AIR.
DAMN.
I'M NOT DONE YET, THOUGH.
HOLD, HOLD THAT IT'S DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW.
APPARENTLY THE TUCSON SAY HE HAS TO GO.
RUPERT MURDOCH, THAT THAT WHO OWNS NEWS CORP.
IS SAYING I'M NOT SURE YET THAT I'M THINKING OF STICKING BY
MY MAN THOUGHT ONE NETWORK INSIDER SAID FOX EXECUTIVES
ARE ALARMED BY THE SEVERITY OF THE AD REVENUE DECLINE.
IT'S WORSE THAN GOING BACK AND THE INSIDER SAID, REFERRING
TO THE ADVERTISER REVOLT THAT HELPED DERAIL FOX NEWS CAREER IN
2011.
REMEMBER, GOING BACK GONE FROM FOX NEWS BECAUSE SO MANY
ADVERTISERS PULLED OUT.
ENOUGH YOU KNOW THIS, THEY ARE IN THE BUSINESS, BUSINESS.
THIS IS NOT A NONPROFIT THAT WHEN THEY START LOSING
MONEY, OH BOY, YOU ARE IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE IT IS A
MATTER HOW POPULAR TYPE YOU REMEMBER GOING BACK ACTUALLY
A GREAT RATINGS AT 5 O'CLOCK THAT HE WAS DONE ANYWAY BECAUSE
ADVERTISERS PULLED OUT THAT THAT IS NOT ONLY FINANCIAL DOCTOR.
ANOTHER FACTOR: THE MURDOCHS PENDING $14
BILLION TAKEOVER OF EUROPEAN PAY-TV PROVIDERS GUIDE ON MAY
16, THE BRITISH MEDIA REGULAR OFF, SAID TO JUDGE WHETHER THE
MURDOCHS ARE FIT AND PROPER TO OWN SUCH A LARGE MEDIA PROPERTY.
REMOVING O'REILLY COULD APPEASE CRITICS AND HELP CLOSE THE
SKY DEAL THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A 14
BILLION-DOLLAR DEAL ON THE LINE, THEN YOU BEGIN TO RETHINK
YOUR TOP-RATED HOST AND THEN, RIGHT BEFORE WE CAME ON
LIFE, MATT DRUDGE TWEETING O'REILLY HAS HAD TREMENDOUS RUN.
VERY FEW IN THE BUSINESS GET TO DECIDE WHEN AND HOW THINGS AND
THAT MEDIA IS THE MOST BRUTAL OF ALL INDUSTRIES.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE GOT HIM DOWN GOES O'REILLY.
DOWN GOES A RIGHTLY.
IT'S NOT HUNDRED PERCENT CERTAIN YET, AND MATT DRUDGE IS NORMALLY
VERY UNRELIABLE BECAUSE HE IS HAS A CONSERVER DIVIDEND AND
PROPAGATED BUT IN THIS CASE, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
CONSERVATIVE NEWS, HE DOES HAVE VERY GOOD SOURCES INSIDE THE
CONSERVATIVE WORLD AND FAR MORE RELIABLE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
LIKE THIS TO
I'VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD HOW HE HAS THE PULLED THE HE DOES
WITH HIS WEBSITE BUT THAT IS POSSIBLE AND THIS TWEET
COULD INDICATE THAT HE IS TALKING TO SOURCES.
IT ALSO FITS IN PERFECTLY NATURALLY BASED ON JUST THE
STUFF THAT YOU DISCUSSED ALREADY THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS GOING
AROUND, IT LOOKS PRETTY BAD FOR HIM.
HIS TWEET MAKES PERFECT SENSE EVEN WITHOUT HIM HAVING
SECRET KNOWLEDGE THAT RILEY IS OUT THAT LOOK, AS SOON AS A
RIGHTLY WENT ON HIS TWO-WEEK VACATION THAT I TOTALLY
SCHEDULED A YEAR AGO, DON'T WORRY, IT DOESN'T MEAN
ANYTHING THOUGHT THAT LOOKED BAD.
THERE WAS ALWAYS A CHANCE THAT HE WOULDN'T COME BACK.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS A SURE THING YET.
I DON'T WANT TO GET EXCITED.
OF COURSE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HOSTING THE SHOW
WITH ME TODAY, DEBBIE DOWNER.
THE REST OF US GET EXCITED.
SERIOUSLY, OF COURSE JOHN IS RIGHT, IT'S NOT SET IN
STONE.
NEWSCORP
HAS NOT ANNOUNCED IT, NEITHER HAS FOX NEWS OR THE MURDOCHS.
HE GOT IN MASSIVE TROUBLE ONCE THE NEWS BROKE FROM THE NEW YORK
TIMES THAT - RUPERT MURDOCH APPARENTLY ONE OF THE REASONS HE
IS HOLDING OUT IS BECAUSE HE IS LIKE I DON'T HAVE THE NEW YORK
TIMES CHASE ME OUT AND HAVE ME FIRE BILL O'REILLY BECAUSE
OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BECAUSE HE HATES THEM BUT THEY
REPORTED ABOUT THE FIVE LAWSUITS THAT WERE SETTLED BY FOX
NEWS ABOUT BILL OíREILLY SEXUAL-HARASSMENT AND OTHER
FORMS OF HARASSMENT.
$13 MILLION NEWS CORP.
ALREADY PAID OUT IN THE SETTLEMENTS.
AND THAT WE STARTED TO GET OF COURSE AS USUAL WITH THIS
PERSON TODAY MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND REVELATIONS ABOUT HOW
MUCH SEXUAL HARASSMENT HE IS DONE AND HIS PROGRAM WAS
CUT SHORT BY 15 MINUTES IN HIS LAST BROADCAST.
WE POINTED OUT, OF COURSE THE REST OF THE MEDIA POINTED
THAT OUT AS WELL AND THEN HE HAD TO GO ON A VACATION ALL OF
A SUDDEN AND I TOLD YOU THEN, LOOK, I'VE SEEN THESE ALL
OF A SUDDEN VACATIONS ON MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND
SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK A LOT OF TIMES THEY DON'T COME BACK.
AT THE TIME, I WOULDN'T HAVE SAID IT WOULD'VE GONE AS MUCH AS
IT DID BUT THE ADVERTISER PALAU HAS BEEN MASSIVE AND SIGNIFICANT
AND THE 14 BILLION-DOLLAR DEAL IS JUST TOO BIG A NUMBER.
NO AGAIN, IT MIGHT BE THAT DRUDGE IS JUST SPECULATING,
BUT HE DOES HAVE GOOD SOURCES IN CONSERVATIVE MEDIA THAT
WHEN COMBINED WITH ALL THE OTHERS, IT LOOKS LIKE
O'REILLY MIGHT BE DONE.
IF THE 14 BILLION-DOLLAR THING IS ACTUALLY A BIG
FACTOR THAN THAT IS SOMETHING THAT $13
MILLION, THAT AT SOME POINT YOU JUST FACTOR THAT IN TO
O'REILLY'S CONTRACT THAT EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS ENOUGH TO
PAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO KEEP SEXUALLY HARASSING PEOPLE
THAT THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTED ON SOME OF THESE DETAILS.
A LOT OF THEM WE HAD PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AND CERTAINLY FOX NEWS.
THEY AFTER ALL PAID UP A SETTLEMENTS.
REMEMBER IN THE BACK OF ALL THIS, FOX NEWS DOES NOT
CARE ABOUT THE ACTUAL SEXUAL-HARASSMENT.
THE DETAILS OF THIS WOMAN, THE CLEAVAGE IN THE HOT
CHOCOLATE, THEY'LL CARE ABOUT THAT EITHERÖ WAY THEY CARE
ABOUT IS IF IT LEADS TO ANOTHER PUBLIC BACKLASH, THE
ADVERTISER START TO FLEE.
THAT IS WHY THE ACTIVISM THAT LED TO THAT JUST LIKE WITH
GLENN BECK IS SO IMPORTANT.
WE DO WANT TO SEE MORE OF THAT OF COURSE.
BUT IN TERMS OF THE ACTUAL IMMORALITY AND THE
NONCONSENSUAL NATURE OF ALL THIS, FOX NEWS DOES NOT
CARRIED ALL ABOUT THAT STUFF.
IT'S JUST THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS WITH O'REILLY.
TO GET BURGLAR CONTEXT, I REALLY SHOW MAKES ABOUT
HUNDRED AND $70 MILLION A YEAR.
$13 MILLION IS SOMETIMES A ROUNDING ERROR.
THAT'S WHY HE GETS PAID $18
MILLION A YEAR AND THEY DON'T SWEAT THAT TOO MUCH EITHER.
AND THEN OF COURSE IT HAS FURTHER COST WITH THE STAFF
AND ETC.
THAT MAKE SO MUCH MONEY AND DO SO WELL IN THE
RATINGS THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO OVERLOOK ALL OF THIS.
WE DID KNOW ABOUT POOR BUT FOX NEWS NEW IT AND THEY DIDN'T
CARE.
WE NEED A FALAFEL AND WE KNEW SOME OF THAT STUFF.
REMEMBER, BACK THEN IT WAS RUN BY ROGER AILES WHO DID
THE SAME EXACT THING AND WORSE THEN BILL O'REILLY.
HE COULDN'T HAVE FIRE BILL RILEY DOING THE SAME THINGS HE DID.
THERE WAS NO CHANCE BILL RILEY WAS GOING TO BE FIRED BEFORE.
L TO RAN FOX NEWS IS GONE BECAUSE OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT.
NOW O'REILLY IS LEFT EXPOSED A FEW WELL DONE INSTEAD OF
THE TALKING POINTS HE MIGHT SOON HAVE WALKING POINTS.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS ALWAYS THE BOTTOM LINE AND WHEN YOU STOP
TALKING ABOUT MILLIONS AND YOU START TALKING ABOUT BILLIONS,
IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW GREAT YOUR RATINGS ARE, THE PARENT
CORPORATION'S INTERESTS WILL OUTWEIGH THAT PARTICULAR HOST.
BY THE WAY, THE HAPPENS ON OTHER CABLE NEWS PROGRAMS AND
OTHER CORPORATIONS AS WELL.
COMCAST HAS DIFFERENT CONSIDERATIONS AND TIME WARNER
HAS DIFFERENT CONSIDERATIONS AND SOME HAVE TO DO WITH
MERGERS, SOME HAVE TO DO WITH NET NEUTRALITY TOPPER NEWS CORP.
HAS TO DO WITH BRITISH REGULATORS APPROVING THIS
$14 BILLION AND ADVERTISERS PULLING OUT IN SUCH A
SIGNIFICANT WAVE THAT IT IS HURTING THE OVERALL BY THE
BOTTOM LINE FOR NEWS CORP.
IF O'REILLY IS NOT GONE, WHICH I WOULD BE SURPRISED AT THIS
POINT, HE IS GOING TO BE HEAVILY DAMAGED AND ONE MORE MISHAP WITH
A HOT CHOCOLATE OR GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO
SPECULATE THAT THEN HE IS IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE AT A BARE
MINIMUM.

Is Bill O'Reilly Finally Fired?
