I find Pat Buchanan to be very interesting and an astute political observer. In terms of "the game" of American politics he is almost often spot on and interesting to listen to regardless of whether one agrees with his views. Also, on foreign policy he has been an outspoken critic of American interventionism since the end of the Cold War which resonates with me personally...you need to separate his actual views from the populist rhetoric that he used in 1990s when he was trying to get elected President. At that time he was trying to win a republican primary by occupying space on the far right and so he said a lot of things that were very abrasive.

I used to be a big Oreilly fan, I'm conservative so also agree with many of his viewpoints but politics aside I think he's pretty fair, granted he covers conservative issues and has a conservative slant but as far as the talking heads ie news/commentators I think he's probaby the most fair, he'll debate people and invite people on with opposing viewpoints to at least express the other side of an issue. He's also a take no shit kinda guy which I like.

Oriely is red pill when democrats win the super bowl and 100% blue pill when republicans win the super bowl. Just like democrats are red pill when a republican quarter back starts a war but 100% blue pill when a democrat quarter back starts a war. Nothing new to see here folks.

There is a new witch hunt against Bill O'Reilly with the usual false accusations of workplace sexual harassment.
Seems like they want to take him out.

O'Reilly was one of the few voices at FOX that supported Trump openly and strongly for many, many months.
He gave Trump huge amounts of positive airtime and numerous interviews.
If Trump (who is supposed to value loyalty) doesn't support and cover O'Reilly's back on this one, I will be very disappointed.

Women’s Group to Fly Plane Banner Over New York Calling Him a ‘Sexual Predator’

On Tuesday, April 18, the women’s group UltraViolet will lead a protest by survivors of sexual assault in front of Fox News’ headquarters in New York City demanding that the network fire Bill O’Reilly following a recent report by The New York Times, claiming that five women have received payouts from either Mr. O’Reilly or the network in exchange for agreeing to not take legal actions or speak about their accusations against the host. According to the paper, the payouts totaled about $13 million.

In addition to the protest, the group will have a plane fly over Manhattan with a banner that reads “FOX: #DROPOREILLY, THE SEXUAL PREDATOR.” The group has also posted signs around Fox News’ midtown HQ asking, “Have you also been sexually harassed by Bill?” The signs also includes a message to the company asking to fire the host.

“Fox News has a problem with sexual assault — and it’s bigger than just Bill O’Reilly,” UltraViolet co-founder Shaunna Thomas said in a statement. “For years, Fox News executives have provided cover for Bill O’Reilly’s systematic harassment and abuse of other Fox New’s employees – making it hard to take their promises to investigate such crimes seriously. Fox News needs to prove to the public – and its advertisers – that the era of covering up sexual assault is over. That means – firing Bill O’Reilly immediately and conducting a comprehensive and independent investigation into sexual abuse at the network – firing anyone involved in, or complicit in covering up, those crimes.”

UltraViolet has also started an online petition calling on advertisers to pull their ads from “The O’Reilly Factor.” According to the group, more than 140,000 people have signed the petition online. “Stop funding sexual harassment. Tell Lexus, Jenny Craig, Rachael Ray, and other companies: Don’t support a serial sexual harasser. Pull all your ads from The O’Reilly Factor,” the petition header reads.

Bill O’Reilly taking vacation amid scandal, advertiser exodus

Amid a scandal involving the settlement of multiple sexual harassment claims that has cost his Fox News show over half its advertisers, Bill O’Reilly announced Tuesday evening he was leaving for a pre-planned vacation. Viewers and fans of “The O’Reilly Factor” were surprised to learn that the former journalist might have hosted his last show Tuesday night. “Last fall I booked a trip that should be terrific”. A Fox News spokesperson told nymag.com reporter Gabriel Sherman that O’Reilly will, indeed, return on April 24. Although New York Magazine’s sources say network co-president Bill Shine was attempting to save O’Reilly, the matter rests exclusively on the shoulders of the Murdoch family, which includes Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of Fox News, and James Murdoch, 21st Century Fox CEO. Smelling blood in the water, liberals are coming on strong in condemnation of Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly over reports that his network has paid out $13 million to women who have accused him of sexual harassment.

One of the accusers, radio host Dr. Wendy Walsh, claimed that rebuffing O’Reilly’s sexual advances cost her a job as a paid contributor at Fox News. But tremors began to be felt the following day as advertisers such as Mercedes Benz and BMW began shifting ads away from “The O’Reilly Factor” and to other Fox News programming. For what objective, Oliver wants to teach the president about what really defines sexual harassment and why he seems to be on the wrong side with Bill O’Reilly. Trump recently told The New York Times, “I don’t think Bill did anything wrong”. Another former Fox News host, Andrea Tantaros, named O’Reilly in a lawsuit past year claiming he and other network executives had subjected her to unwanted sexual advances.

President Trump said O’Reilly “didn’t do anything wrong” and that it was a mistake to settle the lawsuits. During his absence, he’ll be replaced by rotating substitute hosts. “Nobody can silence me, because my voice is not for sale”, she said. Some of the deals were reached after last summer’s ouster of the network’s longtime chief, Roger Ailes, after similar complaints were lodged against him. There is already rampant speculation both inside Fox News and in the media – led by a report by NY magazine’s Gabriel Sherman – that he may not return, though a Fox News spokesperson denied that was the case. Fox News was the week’s most popular cable network, averaging 2.78 million viewers in prime time. Bloom said she was informed about 21 Century Fox’s investigation on Friday.

Saturday Night Live (SNL) also did a hit piece on him a few days ago.

The establishment media and the lib cabal are smelling blood and trying to take him out. I don't watch his show, but I hope he gives them all the finger and keeps broadcasting. By the way, it would be fun to show up at that UltraViolet protest with a sign saying "Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick"

And it looks like he's out.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/201...to-go.html

Quote:The Murdochs have decided Bill O’Reilly’s 21-year run at Fox News will come to an end. According to sources briefed on the discussions, network executives are preparing to announce O’Reilly’s departure before he returns from an Italian vacation on April 24. Now the big questions are how the exit will look and who will replace him.

Wednesday morning, according to sources, executives are holding emergency meetings to discuss how they can sever the relationship with the country’s highest-rated cable-news host without causing collateral damage to the network. The board of Fox News’ parent company, 21st Century Fox, is scheduled to meet on Thursday to discuss the matter.

Sources briefed on the discussions say O’Reilly’s exit negotiations are moving quickly. Right now, a key issue on the table is whether he would be allowed to say good-bye to his audience, perhaps the most loyal in all of cable (O’Reilly’s ratings have ticked up during the sexual-harassment allegations). Fox executives are leaning against allowing him to have a sign-off, sources say. The other main issue on the table is money. O’Reilly recently signed a new multiyear contract worth more than $20 million per year. When Roger Ailes left Fox News last summer, the Murdochs paid out $40 million, the remainder of his contract.

...

The Murdochs’ decision to dump O’Reilly shocked many Fox News staffers I’ve spoken to in recent days. Late last week, the feeling inside the company was that Rupert Murdoch would prevail over his son James, who lobbied to jettison the embattled host. It’s still unclear exactly how the tide turned. According to one source, Lachlan Murdoch’s wife helped convince her husband that O’Reilly needed to go, which moved Lachlan into James’s corner. The source added that senior executives at other divisions within the Murdoch empire have complained that if O’Reilly’s allegations had happened to anyone else at their companies, that person would be gone already.

O'Reilly is not my favourite person (no old school conservatives who have failed to conserve a bloody thing are) but he was very successful at what he did.

I've seen no evidence against him other than the accusations. Since when are accusations enough to get rid of top performers, you may ask? Welcome to the 21st Century workplace.

Also, I have little trouble believing it was the meddling wife of Murdoch who put the final nail in the coffin. I'm sure most of us on the forum have little trouble believing it either.

For the record, Sarah Murdoch has no position at Fox and therefore totally unaccountable to the shareholders. She is a former model, now hitting the wall more than a bit. Hence she naturally has embraced feminist/SJW tactics like firing productive people for the mere accusations of sexual harassment.

Here's some pics of her. WYB?

This is pure speculation but I can totally see O'Reilly pushing the boundaries with women. He's such an emotional twat and probably doesn't take rejection very well.

Murdoch's sons are imbeciles. Sometimes if you want your legacy to continue, you need to find an heir that isn't blood.

I'm a bit surprised that Fox is firing him, but I guess I shouldn't be.

Maybe Tucker will take his spot! Can't cuck the Tuck!

Men have to assume that every woman in the workplace is waiting for her opportunity to sue you and the company for money and attention. Even if she's aggressively approaching you, a guy like O'Reilly can't fall for it. There's too much money (and your reputation) at stake. Plenty of pussy in the world, he can afford to past on the 7 at work.

Dude was making over $30 million a year. I'd hire a cameraman to document all interactions with female coworkers.

I hope we aren't seeing a complete shift at Fox. If so, Tucker will be next.

Fox news is done without Bill O, he made them MANY MILLIONS over the years. He'll either move to another network (and take the time slot's audience), or team up with Brietbart to start a new channel and take Tucker and Hannity with him and then Fox really is fucked out.

Post: #38

This shows that the communists and feminists are still in charge in America. Nothing has changed. When you think of how powerful Reilly was and how much revenue he was bringing in to Fox. But the feminists were still able to use naked aggressive force to take him out. The message is that any man in America can be destroyed at any moment for any reason. This wouldn't happen in Mexico where a man has a right to be a pig.

Post: #39

I suspect that Democratic operatives were leaning on shareholders and advertisers to call the Murdochs and demand they dump O'Reilly. I agree with DJ-Matt, I hope he takes Tucker and Hannity and helps Breitbart start a rival news network.

Another example of how Trump is letting more and more of his faithful friends down when they are in trouble.

That's never stopped any of the former presidents before.
Thousands of examples from the last 50 years.


But that's not the point.
The point is the legislation which favors pussy in legal matters no matter what.
That's the thing that many men who voted Trump want changed, especially those who have lost their jobs cause of this nonsense, been falsely accused on universities, or those who have been divorced raped and cant even spend time with their own kids. We wanted a change to the political climate. Millions of men who voted for Trump want to finally see an end to this shit.

We voted Trump because we want an end to the war on men.

For better or worse, this situation isn't going to change anytime soon. And I don't necessarily expect Trump to swoop in and change the cultural climate of pussy-worship in this country. You're not going to change the nature of American women or their white knights.

Just be happy we have an administration that won't go further in worsening this anti-man bullshit (hopefully).

Looks like based Carlson is taking over for Bill O.

The new schedule begins on April 24, according to 21st Century Fox, with talk show The Five moving from 5 p.m. to Carlson's old slot at 9 p.m.

I really can't blame feminists and fake news for this-O'Reilly is clearly partly guilty. With multiple accusations and $13 mil in settlements over a long period of time, he's definitely fucking up. I love the man's show, he's definitely red-pill enough to know the true nature of women, however he's blue pill enough to not know the escort game and still think he can pull bitches using Mad Men caveman style game in the office. He's become so entitled by being the top dog in cable TV. Blame his own shitty game-it's pathetic to be the most famous TV figure in the country with a 9 figure net worth and ruin your career over some 40 year old HB5 guest hosts on FNC. He's been accused of beating his wife as well, which fits his temperment of an emotional child.

That being said I hope he doesn't shut up and instead makes a power move to a non cable channel where he can shed every last bit of PC. It would be highly entertaining to see what he really thinks without the shackles of cable advertisers. He's always been red pill on the nature of women and he's even dipped his toes into white identity politics.

@ Merc

EZ mate.

Bill will be just fine. Like DJ Matt said, he is very likely to go elsewhere on either another channel or create one on his own. Bill is on par with Rush Limbaugh in terms of fanbase pull. Guys like that can do pretty much whatever the fuck they want.

Don't be surprised if he links up with Hannity or someone else and they create their own platform.

This guy could even take time off and it would not hurt him.

Trump can help by giving him an exclusive interview on his new show, which is very likely to happen. He is going to sit down with him or Hannity, like always because there is a trust factor and relationship involved.

This was like someone telling Barbara Walters she is fired in her prime. That old woman would have thrown her head back in laughter.

Once again the Captain speaks the truth! I worked for the DHS -- all the women (6) with top positions in my office had HR complaints against men who were their bosses or were on their level. They were screwing with the men's careers (a complaint in their file) to beat them out of a promotion or take the boss' job. Men were fired/or moved to another office without even an investigation. It happens to men who are famous to gov't workers to the "fries guy" at McDonalds. BE CAREFUL!I'm glad to be self employed now.

He will halt progress made against men temporarily. He has too much other opposition to deal with to get his policies implemented than to worry about the war on men. I think the idea he will actually reverse the war on men was projected on to him by the sphere more than anything he has actually stated. From what I've seen he actually seems to be a big proponent of women in the workforce.

O'Reilly will be alright, he's making $25 million a year just from his books on top of whatever fortune he's already amassed in his decade plus as top dog at Fox.
