Why do we want him off of TV? Why do we want him to lose?
Lot's of reasons but, I think these three make the most sense ........
1. He is a "Big Shot" who represents the worst in news, commentary, and TV.
2. He is a liar.
3. He is a bully...
4. He is a sexual predator
Very short analysis....
1. He represents Fox News.. He is the living presence on TV of Roger Allies ..He is live, he exists, he is rich ..he is currently on TV 5 days a week, and has been on TV for a long time. He is the "Biggest Shot on Right Wing TV"..and he is going down..and when a big shot like him goes down, well it feels good.
2. He lies from time to time and makes stuff up. So, he is dishonest. He will say anything anytime in order to make himself look better. That is not "news" it is a liar, self centered asshole who puts his own ideas ahead of the truth.
3. He is a bully...(that one speaks for itself..we all know what that meansJ)
4. These lawsuits, which have been settled for millions, have to do with sexual advances on women. (and, it must be noted...... advances on ...women...not a woman..more than one.. In this case more than 3, 5 that we know of....He has stepped over a line, and he has done it more than once or twice

(45,446 posts)his own destruction. All those chickens have hatched and he's going down. O'Reilly has no one to blame, but himself.

(38,414 posts)When I used the word "WE" ...I really meant this as a collective "we"..all those sane people who see him as the jerk he is.. And, that includes more than just "progressives" , it includes all those who see him as a self-serving asshole. There are many moderates and non political people who are offended by O'Reilly. Why? because he is offensive. and ..you are correct...."All those chickens have hatched and he's going down"...
......yes!!!

(32,579 posts)Now that Roger Ailes is gone from the network, the stuff those guys were doing the past 10+ years is coming to light.
A lot of people are disgusted with his behavior, even if they like his politics.
Just sayin'

(15,374 posts)He bloviates over and over again about lack of morality in the Black community, LGBT ruining the sanctity of marriage, etc., and he probably does it on auto-pilot while he's mentally going through which woman he's going to prey on after the show.
