Bill O'Reilly becoming a Non-Factor

Fox News was built on O'Reilly and as of now there's no one close to him. Chris Wallace is amazing at what he does, but it's a different genre. And for all you bloviators Wallace is a registered Democrat. I like Tucker just fine, but Megan Kelly, if she had hung in there, would be the only one they had who'd fill Bill's shoes.
O'Reilly was different when he first started. Much saner. I agree about Wallace but nobody pays any attention to him. Megyn thought she was more important than the news and tried to make everything about her. After she used Fox to make a name for herself chased those dollar signs and jumped ship.

Wallace has the top show on Sunday morning and has interviewed literally everybody on both sides of the aisle. Megan actually took less money, quite a bit less, to go to NBC. FOX offered her over $20 million to stay. She wanted more time with her family. If it doesn't work out for her she certainly won't be hurting.

they have some up and coming talent

Waters from waters world is an up and comer who has the gift of speaking partisan without being offensive and even likable. Tucker Carlson is one of the best journalistic interviewers I've ever seen.

Yeah, he went after judges who let child molesters off. He went after Congressmen who wouldn't vote for Kate's Law. He collected millions to get disabled vets special track powered wheelchairs. He donated all the profits he collected on his website to charity(and that has been independently verified numerous times). And on and on. He's a real bad dude.
And he paid his vaginas an average of $2.3 M each ... I wish he would rape me.

I'll give you that Tucker comes prepared to rebut about anything thrown at him. Jesse is ok, needs some experience. But no one has the gravitas that Bill has, and that comes with experience. Maybe not as bad, but it's like watching Jimmy Fallon doing the opening monologue after decades of Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. He's likeable, but nowhere close to the same league they were.

Actually one was a very serious amount, the rest considerably less. Interesting that when it came out David Letterman kept a bedroom off of his work office, where he screwed a lot of women, even while married, the press didn't go after him. And everyone knows about the other Bill, and how he was protected. What O'Reilly did wasn't right, but if he were a liberal champion the press would've run those women out of town for him.

Then why doesn't the conservative press go after people? That would be called investigating.

They do , no legs to the story when the MSM keeps looking the other way. wiki leaks about Hillary was a classic example. conservative press chased the content of the wiki-leaks releases while the MSM chased some Russia fantasy as directed by the DNC.

The one truly conservative major newspaper is the Wall Street Journal, which is business focused. The one truly conservative tv news channel is FOX News, and well, what do you expect them to do with so much money at stake? O'Reilly should've wised up after the first settlement. He didn't, and opened himself up to attacks from the Left. Lead story on MSNBC right now, and they're dancing on his grave.

I like Tucker....miss the bowtie. Eric Bolling gets a new show from all the shuffling around.
They moved The Five at Five......that was at 2 Cali time and we would have an afternoon coffee and listen to Bob Beckel ramble on & on.

The Five is a terrible show. Moving it to Prime time is a bad idea.

sigh. if this is the worst Bill did to you then shut up

CNN Pundit Says Bill O’Reilly Once Thanked Her For Being Blonde
Rush Limbaugh pointed out that after NY Times ran story about how much Bill made and all these settled lawsuits, sponsors started being inundated with 10's of thousands of emails. Said what people don't know is most of those emails were Facebook and Twitter bots that most likely were generated by a relative few people. All an orchestrated effort to take him out. Guess Left needed a scalp after losing the election. After all these lawsuits were spread out over a long period. My wife asked why is it that they fight so hard to keep criminal aliens from being deported but go after someone for making passes?
