Bill O'Reilly Blames "Far Left" For Fox Firing

Fox News fired the long-time "The O'Reilly Factor" host after a New York Times report on $13 million paid to settle harassment cases against O'Reilly.

"This was a hit and in the weeks to come we are going to be able to explain some of it," O'Reilly said.
"It has to do with destroying voices far-left doesn't like," he added.

O'Reilly also promised an explanation soon about "this crew that terrorizes sponsors and threatens people behind the scenes," an apparent reference to Media Matters and its public effort to threaten advertisers of "The O'Reilly Factor" with boycotts if they continued to buy ad time on the program.

and masturbated as they phoned them up at home like they groped the pussies of women who came into contact with Trump.

The one blessing is that O'Reilly gets to live the rest of his life as the asshole he always was.

But this is 2017, not 1963. If you want to live in that era where that sort of thing was acceptable, invent a time machine.

But beyond his own acts being ALL of what took him down, I resent him/SmearMerchant for, if we HAD taken him down, painting us as so incompetent at it that it took us so long to get it done!1

It's just so strange that Fox handed O'Reilly the exact same amount of dough to get the fuck out as Donald Trump paid to make that Trump University fraud lawsuit go away.

The only thing he thinks is reasonable is Bill O'Reilly fan fiction.

Which is mostly written by himself.

with the $9 million you paid to Andrea Mackis, or the other payments. If everything is the fault of the "far left", how did they do it? Maybe you should take the "far left" to court to show how all that is connected.
