https://thinkprogress.org/bill-oreilly-vacation-be866a598919On Tuesday nights OReilly Factor, Bill OReilly announced he was taking a vacation. The announcement comes in the midst of a massive advertiser exodus following revelations that he and Fox News paid millions of dollars to five women who said they were sexually harassed by OReilly.
OReilly said that he booked this vacation last fall and that he often takes vacation around this time of the year. He is reportedly scheduled to return in on April 24.
But Gabriel Sherman, a journalist for New York Magazine who literally wrote the book on Fox News, reports that tonights show could be his last. According to Shermans sources, lawyers for Fox News are currently doing a deep dive investigation into OReillys behavior.
Sherman also reports that James Murdoch, the CEO of 21st Century Fox, wants OReilly gone. Murdoch forced out longtime Fox News CEO Roger Ailes last summer over allegations of sexual misconduct.

Sure, Billy. You planned this a long time ago.

Maybe go down the Glen Beck Road or just call it a career?
As in the Russian-state funded news station? Bill-O sharing the same station as Thom Harmann? Interesting.
