I think the O'Reilly scandal will take a toll on the network. Even before the latest revelations of sexual harassment, O'Reilly's show had dipped in ratings - even losing to Rachel Maddow in key demographics...

Meh...very well could be ANOTHER shining example of a woman who did not get her way and the only way for her to retaliate, was to go down the "sexual harassment" route...all too common these days.

Fox News isn't a news organization first of all. Its a propaganda network pure and simple. There is more than enough evidence that says there is a pattern of sexual harassment.

The irony is that the women on air who have left and/or filed lawsuits have routinely belittled discrimination of gays, blacks, moslems and even women.

Who knows how many of the women both off and on camera slept with that fat troll slob they had running it before. Yuck.

The sad fact is that it was loss of money, not morals or ethics that forced them to fire him.

Had their not been the loss of advertisers they would have been totally comfortable with Bill harassing women ad infinitum.

What a morally corrupt organization. The fact Roger Ailes was there as long as he has attests to that.

Sick bastards but we shouldn't be surprised.
