Bill O’Reilly Out at Fox News

By: - April 19, 2017

What was thought to be speculation by many regarding the end of the O’Reilly era at Fox News has become fact.

By Eddie Scarry, Washington Examiner:

 

 

Bill O’Reilly is out at Fox News after a swirling sexual harassment scandal refused to let up on its prime-time star.

“After a thorough and careful review of allegations against him, the Company and Bill O’Reilly have agreed that Mr. O’Reilly will not return to the Fox News Channel,” 21st Century Fox said in a statement Wednesday.

An internal statement by the company’s executives added that the decision followed “an extensive review done in collaboration with outside counsel.”

Signed by Rupert, Lachlan and James Murdoch, the statement also acknowledged O’Reilly as “one of the most accomplished TV personalities in the history of cable news” of “indisputable” success.

The announcement followed hours of intense speculation that O’Reilly was finally on his way out, first triggered by a New York Times article earlier this month that revealed Fox and O’Reilly had settled multiple sexual harassment claims with a number of women, totaling in the millions of dollars.

O’Reilly is currently on vacation in Italy and had been scheduled to return Monday.

His ousting comes after two decades of anchoring his highly rated program, “The O’Reilly Factor,” which reportedly brought in millions of dollars of revenue for Fox.
