BECAUSE NBC is is a REAL new outlet that's actually CONCERNED about their credibility.

Fox News, on the other hand, will let O'Reilly stay no matter how many of his stories turn out to be bullshit, BECAUSE they're NOT a real news outlet, and they're NOT concerned about their credibility. They're a propaganda/advertising machine that's only concerned with trashing the Democratic party while selling overpriced gold, survival seeds, and 'freedom canes' to water-headed rubes. Get rid of O'Reilly, and you've undermined their only two objectives.

To no longer be afraid of wingnut bloviators, but to confront them whenever they lie (i.e., whenever their mouths move).

A little spine-stiffening up and down the Dem ranks would be a good thing.

an ego like Billo's is not going to be able to weather the forthcoming onslaught of ridicule. He is going to blow his stack soon, and I am really looking forward to seeing that.

.. doesn't lose his job and be dispossessed and have to beg on the streets and eat out of dumpsters and sleep in cardboard boxes and be forced to perform disgusting sex acts on strangers for a few dollars.

Gosh... I hope not....

of course fake news is the absolute worst. Reporting news, nada. Creating pure hatred yes. I have no sympathy for O'Reilly. Besides other things, I remember Dr. Tiller.

He is dishonest, a blowhard, and will not admit the truth when he is called on it. Keep him Faux News...you own him.
