Discussion: More Companies Pull Ads Off O'Reilly Show Amid Sexual Harassment Reports

[Lacuna-Synecdoche]

“We value our partners and are working with them to address their current concerns about the O’Reilly Factor,” Fox News executive vice president of advertising sales Paul Rittenberg wrote in a statement on Tuesday. “At the time, the ad buys of those clients have been re-expressed into other FNC programs.”

And therein lies the problem: O’Reilly is the harasser, but Fox is enabling him and paying out the settlements.

If the companies boycotting O’Reilly actually want to change behavior at Fox, and make a real statement, then they need to pull their advertising from all shows on the Fox News Channel, not just the O’Reilly Rant Hour.
