Good riddance to the low-life piece of shit!!
Someone else will be sitting behind his desk when Bill O'Reilly, the long-time host of Fox News' prime-time cash cow The O'Reilly Factor,
returns from "vacation" next week.
On Wednesday, 21st Century Fox announced that the longtime conservative
talk show host would not return to the network after advertisers
dropped the show in droves following multiple allegations of sexual harassment against him. Naturally, that caused everyone online to make
the same joke and probably made O'Reilly wish he could go back in time
and name the show something else.
Once news of the host's departure was made public, the internet was
quick to revel in schadenfreude, as O'Reilly had become synonymous with
Fox News over the last twenty years and no one could figure out how so
many women's complaints had been repeatedly ignored at the network. (Especially after the network's former chairman, Roger Ailes, was
forced out under somewhat similar circumstances less than a year ago
amid promises from Fox News that it was definitely committed to doing better.)
Earlier this month, the New York Times reported that O'Reilly and Fox
News had paid $13 million over several years to five people to keep
quiet over sexual harassment claims. More accusations of sexual
harassment were reported since and two had already been public.
In the past two and a half weeks since the Times' story broke, at least
50 advertisers pulled out of the Factor and O'Reilly, who went on a supposedly pre-planned vacation to Italy last week, had been off the
air.
He was scheduled to return on Monday, but now he's never coming back to
his show. He's actually, literally no longer a factor.

He should have been fired in 2004 when Fox paid $9 million in hush
money.
