O'Reilly: 'Tremendously Disheartening' Unfounded Claims Cost Me My Job

[Dos Equis]

I have no idea if any of the allegations are true, but I couldn't really watch him anyway.  Too much of a blowhard.  Too temperamental.  Too rude to people with opposing viewpoints.  But he had a great run.  Killed his competition for about 20 years.  Wrote several bestsellers.  Leaving with a net worth that might be as much as $70 million.  

Given his ratings prowess, there are some big shoes to fill.  

O'Reilly: 'Tremendously Disheartening' Unfounded Claims Cost Me My Job
By Todd Beamon   |    Wednesday, 19 Apr 2017

Bill O'Reilly said it was "tremendously disheartening" he and the Fox News Channel "part ways due to completely unfounded claims" and wished the cable network he joined in 1996 "only the best."

"Over the past 20 years at Fox News, I have been extremely proud to launch and lead one of the most successful news programs in history, which has consistently informed and entertained millions of Americans and significantly contributed to building Fox into the dominant news network in television," O'Reilly wrote Wednesday in a statement published on his website.

"It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims," he added. "But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today.
  
"I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers.

"I wish only the best for Fox News Channel."

[Straw Man]

I'm sure their attorneys allowed him (or Faux News) to pay millions for something he didn't do

Same goes for Michael Jackson.  I'm sure he didn't do anything wrong and it was just a witch hunt

No one ever does anything wrong

Looks like Tucker Carlson is taking O'Reilly's time slot.

Hard to believe that Fox lost Van Sustanon , O' Reilley and Megyn Kelly within a year or so.

When I had my broadcasting career I was liaison for O'Reilly when he visited Houston...He is a Fuck'n Dick...feculent beyond belief.

[LurkerNoMore]

Yeah pretty sure he is innocent.  And those payouts were due to lack of evidence.
