FOX is debating whether Bill O'Reilly should be able to give an on air goodbye

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Sources briefed on the discussions say O’Reilly’s exit negotiations are moving quickly. Right now, a key issue on the table is whether he would be allowed to say good-bye to his audience, perhaps the most loyal in all of cable (O’Reilly’s ratings have ticked up during the sexual-harassment allegations). Fox executives are leaning against allowing him to have a sign-off, sources say. The other main issue on the table is money. O’Reilly recently signed a new multiyear contract worth more than $20 million per year. When Roger Ailes left Fox News last summer, the Murdochs paid out $40 million, the remainder of his contract.

1. Shit. For 20 million you can shut me out of any private club of your choice.

2. Nope.

Bill can punch out and go home... for good. Buh bye. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

4. Can't wait for the book "Killing The O'reilly Factor"

[Orrex]

6. Maybe they could line up his victims and let each give him a kick in the crotch

That would be the first episode worth watching during his entire run.

9. Yep, Even I Would Watch

And i've NEVER watched his show.

10. I was thinking putting him in stocks and an ample supply of rotting vegetables

But your idea works, too.

[Orrex]

12. I'm a reasonable person, open to compromise

Let's do both!

[MrScorpio]

7. Fuck it.

Stay on vacation permanently.

11. Letting him have a fond farewell moment

would show clearly that his dismissal wasn't about his actions but rather the untenable cost of his actions.

And that's just wrong. So I imagine Fox will allow it.

13. If they do, I have the script
