Out After Two Decades Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations
Fox News has just released a statement announcing its long time host, Bill O’Reilly, will not be returning to the network, amid allegations by over a half-dozen women of sexual harassment.
“After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the Company and Bill O’Reilly have agreed that Bill O’Reilly will not be returning to Fox News Channel.”Â
No other details were provided.
Stay tuned for more information.
UPDATE I: 2:44 PM EDT –
CNN’s senior media correspondent:
UPDATE II:
It is important to note that once again grassroots activists said, “enough!” and encouraged advertisers to drop their sponsorship of O’Reilly. The speed in which this happened to the number one cable news show across all networks is unprecedented.
In other words, you helped make this happen.
UPDATE III:Â
Internal memo mentioned above. Note the last paragraph, which is rather hypocritical since between Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, Fox News certainly appears to have been a hive of harassment.
