“The other thing I did in the interview was I made it a little personal,” O’Reilly said. “I said you know, you — you’re taking more attack and vitriol than any other President with the exception of Abraham Lincoln.”

O’Reilly agreed by arguing that he had “never seen a human being able to absorb more punishment than Donald Trump.”

Is O’Reilly just talking to and answering himself here?

Hannity is throwing Tucker under the bus, why? Because he’s not happy with the ratings on the show prior to his?

So Bill O gets to potentially come back, but not so much for Karlson, Kelly, or so many other women forced to leave because of the toxic culture there? If Fox is truly evolving under new leadership, this doesn’t happen.

The problem with O’Reilly is that besides his salary they have to pay all those sexual harassment settlements and hush money. Not sure if the advertisers are willing to pay that much.

If there is anything worse than two racist white multimillionaires who got rich off of vilifying innocent people sitting around and commiserating with each other about how hard they have it, I don’t know what it is.

it’s unbelievable

Sure it is. Just like the stuff Trump’s investigators found in Hawaii. I certainly don’t believe it.

Personally, I think Dan Rather should take back the #1 spot at CBS long before O’Reilly should be allowed back on the air in any form. But that’s just me.

Good typo! It’s certainly an apt description of whatever Fox would put on at 8:00 pm.

Nothing like pushing sexual assault and secret slush fund payoffs under the skanky rug at Fox.
Roger Ailes ghost of groping past must still inhabit the place.
