Many of you may already know O'Reilly was fired by Fox as sexual harassment
charges have been filed against him. In typical corporate behavior Fox paid to
'settle' rather than bare the greater cost to litigate, even if the charges are false.
Time and again we have seen intimidation works against celebrities and any
large organization that appears 'ripe for the picking'.
In this case it was reported sixty companies cancelled their ADs on O'Reilly.
This is quite a large number deciding to depart the highest rated show on cable
within the narrowest time-frame, and may be more than a coincidence.
It appears an orchestrated attempt was made by Left leaning groups to 'Kill Bill',
a formula used succesfully by the intolerant. And with technology of 'robo-calls'
ten complaints to a corporate sponsor can 'become' 10,000!
I am sure most of the companies did not delve into the allegations to determine
whether charges were worthy of cancelling their ADs. The 'pressure', supported
by a NY Times report was enough for them to decide to leave.
This is another 'arrow' used to intimidate, one never used against Left leaning
media which is why disgraced Dan Rather and Brian Williams reappeared.
The companies deciding to leave O'Reilly have no idea that each of them could
at some future point be in the same cross hairs O'Reilly is in. In fact, the next step
might be the demand these same sixty should stop sponsoring Fox News totally!
