J.D. Wentworth and Gold can fill any gap in advertising.
Mr. O’Ailles is lucky to still have his extremely high paying job that allows him to make multimillion dollar settlement payments. Sorry BillO as your misogyny becomes apparent to the public, some advertisers recognize that it isn’t good marketing to be associated with you and your show - and that’s among companies who don’t mind being associated with Fox News.
Just up on HuffPo:List of advertisers who as of Tues. PM were sticking bith Billo. Including but not limited to CarFax, Advil, Dish Network, Reddi Wip,Proudly Propane, LegalZoom. Ladfies and Gentlemen, start your engines…
At the Fox News Channel sexual and verbally harassment is a feature not a bug. How about creating a Dateline like show where these folks are confronted. They could use that Jesse character to stick a mic in their face.
at least five women took a total of $13 million in settlements…"
The extraordinary economic impact of a lack of empathy and/or self-control.
while it’s great Billo is finally getting his the focus should turn to Fox News for allowing the environment to continue… just pulling the ad off ORALFactor isn’t enough… the push should turn to getting the advertisers to pull ALL ads off FauxNews…
how many Mercedes and Hyundais can old dying people actually buy?
It doesn’t seem to matter to Faux or Billo. He has made no public statement and his horrid show is still on the schedule. Probably, with the announcement of advertisers running away, is ratings are only going up with folks who side with him and that horrid entity that represents itself as a news organization.,
And those are about the only positive things I can say about the whole situation.
Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, BMW of North America, Mitsubishi Motors, Lexus, Constant Contact, Bayer, Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, Orkin, UNTUCKit, Allstate, Esurance (which is owned by Allstate), T. Rowe Price, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi, Credit Karma, Wayfair, The Wonderful Company, TrueCar, the Society for Human Resource Management and Coldwell Banker
At long last, some of the chickens are coming home to roost.
Let’s hope they are condor-size chickens.
O’Reilly: No one can silence the voice of middle aged/older, fat, sexually starved, bigoted white men.
FOX: Yup. There is a huge market for that.
Fox is working to “address the concerns” of advertisers? Wut? Their “concerns” are that the host of the show is a serial abuser and harasser of women. Why would an advertiser want their brand to be associated with that? We’re a long way from being a society that treats everyone equally and with respect, but we are at a point that it’s not socially acceptable to get pudding pop purchasing advice from a serial rapist, and hopefully we’re now at a point where it’s no longer acceptable to get right-wing talking points from a workplace predator. The only way to address their “concerns” is to dump Bill-O. But don’t worry, Fox, there are enough right-wing conspiracy Caucasians to go around. Just give Tucker Carlson the slot. Boom, done.
Of course they renewed his contract, he said he didn’t do it, and gave them Ailes as a character reference. Sad.
Since the advertisers are only taking their ads out of O’Reily;s show, they will still berun in other segments , there is no revenue loss, all Fox needs to do is to send the Mercedes ads to “outnumbered” and the Cialis and Depends ads to O’Reilly’s and nobody will notice the difference. I’d say O’Reilly stays put.
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.
One of my wife’s friends said that if she catches her boyfriend “taking care of himself” she will tell him to stop doing the o’reilly. Might Websters dictionary add this as a definition?
Chickens? I was hoping for something more like the 7’ tall velociraptors in Jurassic Park (as opposed to real-life velociraptors, which weren’t much bigger than turkeys).
