the bottom line is that Fox Entertainment Group Inc is in the business to make $$$. They have shareholders and advertisers they MUST keep happy or they lose $$$. If they lose enough $$$ the business dies. (Which would work for me too. )

Murdoch is rich and RW pigshit but he's not stupid nor that charitable. ATM he's 'betting the farm' that the O'Lielly 'noise' dies down as it has in the past. It's the job of activists for truth and justice, and against O'Lielly, Trump and the RW Putin agenda Fox sells, to make sure it gets LOUDER and sticks like Gorilla Glue.

I'm pretty sure they will as long as he shows repentance. They'll also ignore it's insincerity and thereby the teaching's of Jesus .

That is if they haven't dismissed it as "fake news " as other non or less Christian O'Reilly fans have.

He thinks this is the end of Bill-O. I think it isn't. There's nothing riding on the bet, just crowing rights.

It really depends on how badly they want the Sky News deal to get approved. Fox isn't sweating this temporary advertisers issue as much as they are worried that this might sink the Sky deal. The lawyer for one of the women sent a letter directly detailing Billy O's actions with women.

She can be the good-as-whassername (the one that left to NBC). So, if she's the host for the next 2 wks & ratings are good, bye bye/O'LOOFAH!1

Nothing will happen to him.

In the real world, bullies get away with it.
