Fox braces for fallout from Bill O'Reilly scandal

[HAB911]

If Bill O'Reilly weren't the biggest star at Fox News, would he still have a job at Fox News?

Many media industry observers, reading about the harassment allegations that have cost O'Reilly and Fox millions of dollars, are saying he would not.

What does that answer say about the Murdoch media empire?

Murdoch and his sons are standing near O'Reilly, although not right next to him, by renewing his contract, but not issuing a full-throated defense.

1. It really doesn't matter what anybody @ Fox News says or does because it was built ....

..... on lying, sexism, and propaganda and their viewers just don't know or care about
the facts or what is good for America.

In November of 2000 they lied and called the Florida race for w bush and the world is
still paying the price. O'Reilly lost custody of his kids when a daughter testified in court that
he dragged her mother down the stairs by her hair and still people watch that nasty piece
of work.

Fox is a cancer on America and it will metastasize this week as Trump will get his pick
Neil Gorsuch for SCOTUS even though he became President with the help of Russia,
voter suppression of African Americans, and that the prior legally elected President Barack
Obama, was blocked from his Constitutionally granted right of getting to pick a candidate
for justice on the Supreme Court out of the bald faced un-American actions of Mitch
McConnell and company.

2. I'm sure typical Faux News viewers will react something like this

Tex and Edna in Jacksonville will be complaing about how unfair it is that such malicious lies have cause Fox to pay money to gold diggers or Opal in Kentucky saying, "Well, if women are throwing themselves at such nice man, he's not made of stone."

Remember: These people are the same folks that demanded President Clinton be impeached over Monica Lewinski.
