Welcome to Thunderdome

Bill's expensive. Turns out he's cost upwards of $10M when you count up all the sexual harassment claims settled out of court. Companies are pulling a significant portion of their ads.

Guys want to get laid and men in positions of power try to use it to get laid. In other news, water is wet.

I'm not the biggest O'Reilly fan, but I'm not going to condemn him for being horny. I mean, did he make a world leader wait for him in the rose garden while he stuck cigars up a fat girl's pussy?

Not excusing him, but like with Clinton this is more of a political attack than outrage over his actions.

*checks political party affiliation to determine my level of outrage*

Insurance companies push for these things to be settled. The group that is claiming that all these companies are pulling ads had a history with Glenn Beck of claiming that advertisers that never advertised with Glenn Beck were pulling their ads from Glenn's show (back when he was on Fox). I don't watch O'Reilly. Don't watch much at all on Fox. But it's going to take more than these idiots jumping up and down for me to buy into the shit their peddling.

Word is Bill is done.

Highest rated news personality. Ballsy of them to dump him.

He'll be back on the air for someone else in no time.

Guaranteed CNN is celebrating and probably helped this story stay alive.

Radio? Sure. TV? Eh, nothing on basic cable.

Maybe not immediately, but don't be naive. The guy is a ratings juggernaut.

What'd he do? Act like a man and try to get laid? Acted like a spurned idiot when it didn't work? Do you honestly think he has a monopoly on that behavior? That he's the only public persona to face this particular type of scandal?

If O'Reilly's agent called CNN and said he wants to come there, I assure you they would work something out.

Woohoo, another scalp for the wall to win the public opinion war.

Meanwhile, convicted child molesters get standing ovations at the Oscars and nobody bats an eye.

Speaking of pedos, why does nobody ever talk about how Don Johnson started dating 14 year old Melanie Griffith when he was 22?

Currently in a doctor office waiting room, "The Talk" is on the TV. Newscaster chick says bill oreilly got fired...Audience goes nuts cheering. You can almost hear them, "Yay our team won!"

Looks.like Colbert did the same sort of thing... They are showing crowds cheering all over talk tv.

Oh man these women... Idiots.

Yay our side won!

Bill made a good living screaming at us heathens from his moral high ground. I just don't feel a lot sympathy for the man. It was a good act while it lasted.

I know there is video evidence that he screamed once or twice, but I heard the women on TV today saying how he always shouted down and talked over people. My wife has been watching his show for 10 years, I have been exposed to a lot of it, and I can't remember a single time he raised his voice. Not saying he never did, but that wasn't his modus operandi.

You have me fucking defending bill fucking oreilly. Fuck you fuck him fuck his mother. Let's pretend this is important and a great victory and ignore all the evil shit our government does for today.

And if you want to discuss "talking down" to people, use small words for the "Deplorables."

Somewhere, there's a vid of him on his show shortly after 9/11 talking to berating the son of one of the dudes that decided to rush the cockpit on his particular flight. Guy had a MLK-like non-violent streak a mile wide and refused to assent to the bullshit sabre rattling and wholesale condemnation of huge demographics that Bill was pitching. Dude was a straight up, for realsies Ned Flanders. I never took anything he did or said seriously after that.
