Bill OReilly will no longer be employed at Fox News, the networks parent company 21st Century Fox said in a statement Wednesday. The decision comes after allegations of him sexually harassing female colleagues prompted protests outside network headquarters and a mass exodus from advertisers.
After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the Company and Bill OReilly have agreed that Bill OReilly will not be returning to the Fox New Channel, the statement read.
OReilly had said mid-April that he was taking a vacation. The official departure from Fox is an unceremonious end for the host, who had anchored the top-rated cable news show The OReilly Factor since its inception more than 20 years ago. His stunning exit mirrors that of former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, who launched Fox News in 1996 and abruptly left the network last summer amid widespread sexual harassment allegations.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson will take over OReillys 8 p.m. time slot next Monday, Fox confirmed. The OReilly Factor will continue this week with guest hosts Dana Perino on Wednesday and Thursday, and Greg Gutfeld on Friday.

I am not an old white guy. I do know a few old white guys however and somehow I don't think they like this prissy East Coast dick very much. Could be wrong, but ...
