Rewarding bad behavior. Bill O'Reilly is trying to ink a deal with a right wing cable network. |
Pick your poison!
Washed up conservative agitator Bill O'Reilly might be returning to cable news. He couldn't cut it on the podcast. No Spin News is a dud.
Anyway, the former Fox News star is looking to take the 8pm spot at NewsmaxTV.
There are talks the old fart might take the spot occupied by right wing loon Wayne Allan Root.
The downfall of O'Reilly came when the New York Times and Gabriel Sherman reported on allegations of a massive payout to women who were sexually harassed by him.
Over $30 million was settled out of non disclosure agreements.
Led to a massive boycott and eventually his cannon firing.
The fool blames "far left precincts" for his downfall.
He took the news hard. He was in Italy and the Vatican City on vacation when he found out that Rupert Murdoch had fired him out the cannon. He immediately canceled his vacation and went to collect his belongs.
By the end of the week, Fox News erased him from existance.
O'Reilly tried to start his own cable news channel with Glenn Beck. That failed miserably. The Blaze network is on its way out. Sinclair Broadcasting Group expressed interest in him. There were rumors that O'Reilly and some of the Fox hosts would launch a competitor with Sinclair in the chair.
O'Reilly then started appearing on NewsmaxTV as a guest commentator. It was proven to be successful.
Christopher Ruddy, the founder of NewsmaxTV is in advance talks with him.
Newsmax senior advisor Michael Clemente sees O'Reilly still has the "magic" with viewers. Clemente used to work for Fox News as well. He was fired out the cannon after he defended his Roger Ailes, the disgraced founder of the conservative network. Ailes was fired out the cannon as well after Gretchen Carlson sued him and recorded conversations of sexual harassment.
NewsmaxTV has long way to go, but it could be a strong competitor in the right wing ass kissing Donald J. Trump media.
Newsmax is trying to lure Greta Van Susteren and Conservative Review's (CRTV) newly signed Eric Bolling to the network. They would fulfill primetime.
If that happens it would launch a friendly fire with Fox's Tucker Carlson, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Laura Ingraham. It would also put in the range of CNN and MSNBC viewers.
