'The No-Job Zone': Gleeful internet dances on the grave of Bill O'Reilly's career

Biill O’Reilly has officially been ousted from his position at Fox News — and many people across the internet are dancing in celebration.

Although O’Reilly’s longtime fans will surely be upset by Fox’s decision to cave to advertiser pressure in the wake of O’Reilly’s multiple sexual harassment lawsuit settlements, the longtime Fox host’s many haters couldn’t contain their glee at his current predicament.

Cher, however, pointed out that even though both O’Reilly and longtime Fox boss Roger Ailes have lost their jobs, alleged serial harasser President Donald Trump still has his job.




Nonetheless, the reaction on Twitter as a whole was one of joy. Below are some of the top reactions to Fox’s decision to part ways with O’Reilly.

He is up to his own tuchas in self-made crap.

Suggestions were that Russia has kompromat on Chaffetz, which is intriguing if true. Chaffetz has done ZERO oversight of this administration being in charge of that committee and it will be interesting to see if he resigns or gets forced out before next year's election. Will need to watch for Elijah Cummings comments in the near future now!

did and can write books, make appearances, give speeches, etc.. He was making 20 million per year and was just re-upped for 4 more years. He's an extremely wealthy man, which shouldn't be.

Hopefully he will have to face the consequences of his actions someday, over and above losing his show.
