(43,296 posts)O'Reilly is just depreciated capital. Now replaced with the next drone
to continue the war on Democrats and truth.

(56,829 posts)but, I don't see the dweeb in a bowtie approaching the O'Reilly level of bluster and bombast.

(5,611 posts)"Interview" tactics that are very similar to Hannity and O'Reilly -- he will loudly ask the same question over and over -- constantly shouting down the interviewee while claiming that they aren't answering the question. He also has a demonic laugh that he uses to punctuate his belittling of his guests -- "you know you are a liar. Admit it!" Wild laugh
Tucker is as obnoxious as O'Reilly -- just in a different way.
Not the manly man type that anchored the shit show.

(4,515 posts)Preppy dweeb won't cut it though, I agree. They'll find some other obnoxious sexist, racist slime who hasn't been caught sexually assaulting or harassing anyone. Yet.

(9,426 posts)if a woman in broadcast news looked anything like a beat up O'Lielly? Picture a woman with three chins, sparse hair, wrinkles up the kazoo, being given air time? Maybe he will invite $carah PayMe to co-host and boost ratings??
MrPurple
(985 posts)but Fox definitely hasn't.
Plucketeer
(12,882 posts)Occasionally some less-than-clear-desk-worthy female consultant will get on in a guest window box. But the women who command anchor-ships mostly have nice (and deliberatly visible) legs. What's more, I don't know if it's just me or are there an inordinate number of blonds in the news business?
MrPurple
(985 posts)TV in general does it, it's show biz. But, there's lots of stories about how the wardrobe rooms at Fox only had short skirts and they used far more revealing leg shots than any other network. Ex female employees and guests have talked about it. There hasn't been anyone remotely like Candy Crowley at Fox.

(81,500 posts)All those years we've had to put up with his poison.
I'm sure he'll slither back into the spotlight again. I suspect his colossal ego won't let him go quietly.
He'll run for president. Hey if one pussy grabbing, misogynistic, bigoted, idiot can win the Whitehouse, why can't another?
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)Not sure if his audience is computer-savvy enough to access him. But production costs are practically non-existent for podcasts, so O'Reilly can crank them out by the bushel barrel.
MrPurple
(985 posts)a good day, but should have come a long damn time ago.

(985 posts)He can do segments on Fox's other "news" shows, but his schtick was with O'Reilly. I actually liked his stand up in the 90s, before he became a right wing comic. He used to make fun of the kind of rednecks he appeals to now. It's hard to think of anyone who became more of a hack sellout.

(81,500 posts)Ahhh... Dennis Miller. How far one has fallen. I used to like him during his SNL days, but after that he switched his allegiance and rebranded himself as a limbaugh wannabe.
But I LOVE that Branson quote! And yeah, you're right. Now that's his core audience.

Smart move pocketbook wise.
