Bill O'Reilly is No Longer a Factor
Bill O'Reilly has left Fox News to Spend More Time with your Wife.
Last night, the O'Reilly Factor went on the air and it was missing two things.
Bill O'Reilly and Bill O'Reilly's name.
The show was just labeled "The Factor."
Yep, Bill O'Reilly is gone from Fox News and presumably working on his next book, "Killing My Career."
Fox News media critic Howard Kurtz, who basically ignored the entire O'Reilly story until yesterday, posted a quote from the fallen star:
“It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today. I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers. I wish only the best for Fox News Channel.”
"Fuck it, we'll do it L̶i̶v̶e̶.... someplace else."
OK....I might have made up the last line.
Dana Perino appeared as the host of "The Factor" last night and she had the job of saying goodbye for O'Reilly to his one time viewers.
Bill O'Reilly had the big ratings, the huge paycheck and all the attention. But, in the end, it was his demeaning of women that he worked with that brought him down.
Proving that it may take time, but Karma always catches up.
Congrats to the women out there that stood up to this kind of behavior and decided to no longer stay silent.
There are a lot of pigs in this business, but Today you sent a message to all of them. Clean up your act, or join Bill O'Reilly in the "No Job Zone."
