Bill O’Reilly, who was recently fired as the host of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, is bringing his “No Spin Zone” back pretty darn quickly – to paid subscribers from his website. O’Reilly posted on his website today that he is bringing his “no spin” reporting back to a podcast on Monday, April 24th. No word yet on if he will be sexually harassing the employees of his website.
O’Reilly was fired from Fox News after years of alleged sexual harassment by several different network employees. O’Reilly has denied any wrongdoing, even posting this message on his website just a few days ago:
“Over the past 20 years at Fox News, I have been extremely proud to launch and lead one of the most successful news programs in history, which has consistently informed and entertained millions of Americans and significantly contributed to building Fox into the dominant news network in television. It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today. I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers. I wish only the best for Fox News Channel.”
Roger Ailes, the founder and former CEO of the network, was fired last year for similar claims. Both Ailes and O’Reilly were given multi-million dollar payouts by the network on their way out the door. Both men were also publicly supported by President Donald Trump, who was infamously caught on tape bragging about being able to “grab ’em by the pussy” because of his fame.
It should come as no surprise that a media force like Bill O’Reilly will be back at his regular shtick so soon. We will have to wait and see if his fans join him on his podcast. Do you think he’ll record it beforehand?
Let’s ask him:
Guess that answers that question.
