Top host Bill O’Reilly is out at Fox News amid accusations of sexual harassment against him, the network’s parent company 21st Century Fox announced Wednesday afternoon.
“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 the Fox News Channel,” the company said in a statement.
Fox announced that Tucker Carlson will take over O’Reilly’s 8 p.m. slot on Fox News.
Yeah, this is not about the allegations. They don’t give a damn about those. This is about revenue and the ad dollars they were losing and projected to lose. I’d read someplace today that there were more advertisers rethinking spending their ad dollars at all on FOX, not just on O’Reilly’s show.
