Probably deserves its own thread. Anyway, that time Bill destroyed Jon Stewart is worth another watch.

Bill:
New York Times got you fired.
Remember that every time you see a link from them.

Hopefully this evidence makes it to the light of day before one of Hillary's ninja assassins takes O'Reilly out.

Same. I can hardly watch Hannity anymore. He is much better on the radio for some reason. You get to hear his human side a lot more.

Probably nothing.
It's one thing to mock someone who is oblivious, but I think O'Reilly is a smart guy who operates with a lot of intentionality. This is one of those times where there really isn't a mock worthy angle.
I'll wait for @wikkidpissah to weigh in as he is the resident arbiter of what constitutes comedic material.

We are the new Kings
We sold your council houses, not to you, but the banks
Up in the stratosphere - wielding the knife
While you said thanks
Oceans of money high in the clouds
But if you hang around
More often than not, it'll trickle down,
While the diggers of the diamonds we wear, labour underground for dear life
On your knees, peasant, and kiss this ring
You're working for the new king
We are the new kings
I'll tell you a tale
We're too big to fall
We're too big to fail

Olbermann has never been accused of wife beating, sexual harassment or of abusing/groping women.

What a complete POS. Amazing that so many people watched him, although considering the events of the last year, maybe not so much.

It's tough cuz he would have remained pretty tough to lay hands on as long as he kept hands off. His dialectic may be the greatest in schtick history and he almost singlehandedly defeated truth for all contemporary intents & purposes. That's some nuclear Teflon, #####!
He & Trump commiserating probably will be actually funnier than you could write it, but you could try. Him trying to pick up a chick using his schtick instead of his power has some potential.
But he originally had to rehearse this act in front of a mirror like someone who does magic or imitations and i think i'd go there - him using his "factor" to convince himself that he can do without being the greatest fulcrum of public opinion in history of media. Maybe bring in his maid or gardener and rip their pathetic leftyism, when they can barely speak English in reply. Don't matter as long as OReilly wins, right? Of course, i'd have to bring Phil Hartman back from the dead to pull it off and Lorne would kill it in dress anyway.

Yeah this is really inexcusable.
I enjoyed him sometimes, but often it was the same schtick over and over and it just got boring. He got too big for his own britches years ago. Between him and Megyn Kelly I wasn't sure which one had a bigger ego.
I really enjoy Tucker... He is entertaining and keeps people honest.

If your argument is that other people have done disposable things as well, that says a lot.

I honestly don't have a dog in this fight b/c I've never watched 5 minutes of his show. But didn't this all happen b/c of the witch hunt tied to the "James brown wig" comment?
I really don't know or support any of his past personal history or legal issues, but I just have a problem with "we don't agree with him so lets shut him down by any means necessary" mentality.

To be fair, you are correct in that "we" don't agree with him and that's why he was fired.
Agree with him continually sexually harassing women, co-workers and subordinates, that is.

No question.
Trump TV? Oh I mean. Trump Cabinet? He'd be one of the more qualified at least.

agreed, thats despicable and should not be tolerated.
I honestly have not followed the saga, was there a very recent situation that led to this, or was his deep past just uncovered b/c of the 'James Brown wig" comment backlash?

Bill O'Reilly's sexist put-down of Maxine Waters portended a bigger crisis: Opinion
At the end of last month Bill O'Reilly, the Fox News Channel's chief primetime blowhard, chose to make a super sexist joke about Rep. Maxine Waters of California who, as she often does, had just criticized President Donald Trump. "I didn't hear a word [Waters] said," O'Reilly said during a visit on "Fox & Friends." He didn't hear Waters, he claimed, because "I was looking at the James Brown wig. If we have a picture of James, it's the same wig."
There were so many transgressions there. First and foremost, you don't arrogantly admit to ignoring what a woman is saying. Second, you don't admit to ignoring what a woman is saying because you were, instead, focused on her appearance. Third, you don't admit to ignoring what she's saying, claim to have been focused on her appearance, and then criticize her appearance. Fourth, you don't suggest that the Godfather of Soul wore a wig. Fifth, "Papa Don't Take No Mess." So don't you ever, ever, ever call him "James." You call him "Mr. Brown."
Waters is 78. She's been in Congress for 27 years. Both her years and her position entitle to her some basic level of respect, but O'Reilly, as he later put it in a statement, chose to say something "dumb." And he apologized. But little did he know that his days would be numbered and that in less than a month's time his sexism would have helped bring "The O'Reilly Factor" to a crashing end.
Four days after his put-down of Waters, The New York Times reported that five women had received payouts totaling $13 million from either O'Reilly or 21st Century Fox after accusing O'Reilly of sexual harassment or other misbehavior.
