O'Lielly may lost a few viewers--but like Trump fans--they will stick with him. !!

O'Reilly fallout: Could advertisers take action?
If Bill O'Reilly weren't the biggest star at Fox News, would he still have a job at Fox News?

Many media industry observers, reading about the harassment allegations that have cost O'Reilly and Fox millions of dollars, are saying he would not.

What does that answer say about the Murdoch media empire?

Murdoch and his sons are standing near O'Reilly, although not right next to him, by renewing his contract, but not issuing a full-throated defense.

And Fox's executives are waiting and watching, anticipating that more women will come forward with allegations against O'Reilly.

Other people in and around the cable news channel are also wondering about that -- and asking if any advertisers will avoid "The O'Reilly Factor" as a result of the scandal.A related question: will O'Reilly's viewers care about the controversy? .....................

1. So Fox has paid his victims to shut up about his crimes. Do they warn new employees about him?

They should.

If this was just one woman claiming there was a problem, maybe you could justify and claim the payments were just to avoid publicity or something, but this guy is a serial abuser who Fox is protecting.

This is like the Catholic Church protecting child molesters.

2. Of course he would still have a job

Being a sexual predator at FOX is considered a strength.

Just know, that for every person who has filed suit against them, there are others who have been too scared to do so, and still others who probably succumbed to the unwanted sexual advancements to try to save their jobs.

Zero surprise, this is what FOX and Cons want for the country. They still aren't over the fact that women are allowed in the workplace.

4. Honestly, the party has passed the Rubicon

They now are at a place where they have skull fucked their "base" to the point where they basically celebrate moral deviance.

America 2017 - as long as you are "conservative" you can literally say and do anything, and the more negative blowback you get for it the more they love you.

3. I read somewhere that Fox News renewed Bill O's contract..

So, a decision has been made, but they can always fire him, and give him a settlement like the did Alies and 40 million is a nice settlement..
