(16,396 posts)It looks like the two Murdoch sons are in opposite camps so it could come down to the old man and I have to think he'd come down in O'Reilly's camp since he's a pig as well.
Then again the Paul Weiss investigation brought down Ailes who was considerably more powerful than Billo.
I lean toward he returns and then could be in jeapordy if the law firms investigation gets ugly for him. Given what's been revealed about Billo's character so far it could be a tip of the iceberg situation.

(13,603 posts)The purpose of shows like his are to mold public opinion, not make a profit. The real profit comes from the heinous legislation the viewers insist their congressmen pass.

(13,218 posts)What do you base this on? Do they have other commercial-free shows?
stevenleser
(32,886 posts)that there is a vast sum of money that would put right-wing hosts on radio and television for free or at least would eat their costs.
The reality is, when Glenn Beck lost his advertisers on FNC, he was gone pretty shortly after that, hence the new network he started called "The Blaze".

(59,504 posts)His only value then would be if he REALLY helps as a lead in for others. I do not know if he is that much a superstar at this point.

(13,603 posts)These shows exist solely to mold public opinion so "profitable legislation" gets passed.

(15,412 posts)he will be crippled if he comes back to a job where his bosses were fighting about whether to fire him or not.
And he has no advertisers. They keep him because he makes them money, if he stops doing that....he'll be gone.

(2,897 posts)Had this occurred in a vacuum, O'reilly would be back to work tomorrow. Instead, it's the latest in a very long line of costly sexual harassment scandals that Fox has faced in the past year, Advertisers are dropping like flies and the fact that his behavior has become public knowledge makes him a serious liability to the company when they face similar claims in the future if they keep him.
