Bill O’Reilly Not Returning To Fox News | MSNBC

Fox News trennt sich endgültig von Bill O’Reilly

FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE: Bill O’Reilly ist Trump-Fan und einer der bekanntesten Fernseh-Moderatoren Amerikas. Doch nun hat ihn sein Sender vor die Tür gesetzt. Der Grund sind schwere Vorwürfe von mehreren Frauen.

Der konservativ geprägte amerikanische Sender Fox News hat sich nach Berichten über sexuelle Übergriffe von seinem Kult-Moderator Bill O’Reilly getrennt. Das Mutterunternehmen des zum Imperium von Medienzar Rupert Murdoch gehörenden Senders bestätigte die Personalie. „Nach einer sorgfältigen Prüfung der Vorwürfe stimmen das Unternehmen und Bill O’Reilly überein, dass Bill O’Reilly nicht auf Fox News zurückkehren wird“, hieß es in einer Stellungnahme der 21st Century Fox am Mittwoch. » | Quelle: pach./dpa | Mittwoch, 19.

Fox News 'to Drop Host Bill O'Reilly' after Harassment Cases

BBC: Fox News is reportedly about to drop the country's top-rated cable news host, Bill O'Reilly, amid claims he sexually harassed female colleagues.

The Wall Street Journal - owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also owns Fox News - reports the network is "preparing to cut ties" with the presenter.

Pressure on Fox has mounted since recent reports that five women received $13m in payouts because of Mr O'Reilly.

More than 50 sponsors have withdrawn ads from his show, The O'Reilly Factor.

US media report that the board of 21st Century Fox will hold a meeting about the matter on Thursday.

According to New York Magazine, executives were holding emergency meetings on Wednesday morning to discuss how to get rid of Mr O'Reilly. » | Wednesday, April 19, 2017

Republican Senators Furious That Trump Has Turned Presidency Into A “Trump” Brand Commercial

Republican Senator Joni Ernst, a hard-right member of the GOP, said that she and many of her Republican colleagues in the Senate are not happy that Donald Trump is spending so much time at Mar-A-Lago and so little time actually governing. They are beginning to see what everyone else sees: Trump has turned the Presidency into a giant commercial for the Trump brand. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

The Americans did something very stupid to elect Donald Trump into the White House. Trump is a man with no political experience; and even after this short time in office, it's plain to see. Further, he is being influenced by Ivanka, who is profiting from her position in the White House. But more importantly, can anyone explain to me what this young lady knows or understands about geopolitics? And that goes for her husband, Jared, too. How is he going to fix Middle Eastern problems? More especially, how is he going to fix the Palestinian question, particularly when so many experienced politicians before him have failed? The Trump administration is a disaster, it seems to me. God only knows what the next four years will bring. World war is, of course, not out of the question. – Mark
