Over the years, Fox had paid out $13 million to five different women to settle sexual harassment lawsuits against the 67-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>What ultimately did O\u2019Reilly in was money. No, not the $13 million Fox spent to pay off his accusers nor his crazy $18 million yearly salary, but the ad dollars. After a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/04\/01\/business\/media\/bill-oreilly-sexual-harassment-fox-news.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"breaking-fox-news-says-goodbye-anti-gunner-bill-oreilly\" title=\"Breaking: Fox News Says Goodbye to Anti-Gunner Bill O\u2019Reilly\">New York Times investigation<\/a> put a spotlight on those settlements as well as new accusations from more women, sponsors started dropping him like a bad habit.<\/p>\n<p>It had to be tough for Fox News because \u201cThe O\u2019Reilly Factor\u201d was the most-watched and top-rated program on cable news for almost two decades. It was a major cash cow. But when 50 sponsors suddenly pull ads from the show, it doesn\u2019t really matter how many people tune in.<\/p>\n<p>As someone once told me, \u201cSuccess in media isn\u2019t about the number of eyeballs, rather it\u2019s how much money you can generate selling against those eyeballs.\u201d Three million viewers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/tv-ratings-bill-oreilly-finish-850467\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"breaking-fox-news-says-goodbye-anti-gunner-bill-oreilly\" title=\"Breaking: Fox News Says Goodbye to Anti-Gunner Bill O\u2019Reilly\">more or less the size of his audience<\/a>, is irrelevant if you can\u2019t sell ads against those viewers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_72824\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-3.19.13-PM.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"breaking-fox-news-says-goodbye-anti-gunner-bill-oreilly\" title=\"Breaking: Fox News Says Goodbye to Anti-Gunner Bill O\u2019Reilly\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-72824\" title=\"Breaking: Fox News Says Goodbye to Anti-Gunner Bill O\u2019Reilly\" class=\"size-large wp-image-72824\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-3.19.13-PM-1024x308.png\" alt=\"Breaking: Fox News Says Goodbye to Anti-Gunner Bill O\u2019Reilly\" width=\"1024\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-3.19.13-PM-1024x308.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-3.19.13-PM-150x45.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-3.19.13-PM-400x120.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-3.19.13-PM-768x231.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Screen-Shot-2017-04-19-at-3.19.13-PM.png 1091w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-72824\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">OReilly Accusers who&#8217;ve received settlements. \u00a0(<em>Photo: NY Times)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sure, it didn\u2019t help that his old chum former <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/daily\/intelligencer\/2016\/09\/how-fox-news-women-took-down-roger-ailes.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"breaking-fox-news-says-goodbye-anti-gunner-bill-oreilly\" title=\"Breaking: Fox News Says Goodbye to Anti-Gunner Bill O\u2019Reilly\">Fox News chairman Roger Ailes was fired last summer<\/a> for similar improprieties. Following the Ailes\u2019 sexual harassment scandal, the Murdoch family who owns 21st Century Fox had promised to clean up the culture of Fox News and restore \u201ctrust and respect.\u201d That\u2019s sorta hard to do when the centerpiece of your network has a documented history of hitting on the help.<\/p>\n<p>But yeah, the main reason he got axed was money. Ad dollars &#8212; not because the Murdochs wanted to shut down the Boy&#8217;s club atmosphere at Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the announcement of his departure, O&#8217;Reilly said in a statement on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billoreilly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"breaking-fox-news-says-goodbye-anti-gunner-bill-oreilly\" title=\"Breaking: Fox News Says Goodbye to Anti-Gunner Bill O\u2019Reilly\">website<\/a>, &#8220;Over the past 20 years at Fox News, I have been extremely proud to launch and lead one of the most successful news programs in history, which has consistently informed and entertained millions of Americans and significantly contributed to building Fox into the dominant news network in television.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today. I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers. I wish only the best for Fox News Channel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From the gun community\u2019s perspective, the loss of O\u2019Reilly on cable news is no big deal. When it came to the 2A he proved himself time and time again to be an ignoramus. Consider this 2012 video from one of his famous &#8220;Talking Points&#8221; segments:<\/p>\n<p>To sum up the video O\u2019Reilly says: We should be compelled to report the sale of a \u201cheavy weapon or ammo\u201d to the FBI. Nobody \u201creports the sale of heavy weapons, like AK-47,\u201d to the Federal government. \u201cTerrorists can just move in here and buy bazookas.\u201d You can \u201cbuy a machine gun\u201d and the feds don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>Geez. See, what I mean? He really never had a clue.<\/p>\n<p>In another<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/transcript\/2016\/01\/06\/bill-oreilly-truth-about-guns-in-america.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"breaking-fox-news-says-goodbye-anti-gunner-bill-oreilly\" title=\"Breaking: Fox News Says Goodbye to Anti-Gunner Bill O\u2019Reilly\"> \u201cTalking Points\u201d segment in 2016<\/a>, O\u2019Reilly called for \u201creasonable gun registration laws\u201d as well as universal background checks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the other side, the NRA and the gun owners should be reasonable,\u201d said O\u2019Reilly. \u201cThe FBI should background check anyone buying a firearm in America. That just makes sense. If you are paranoid and believe the government is stockpiling information so they can come to your house and take your guns &#8212; that&#8217;s your problem, your problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What O\u2019Reilly doesn\u2019t understand is that the 2A is really about the powerless. It\u2019s the one safeguard the little guy has to use to keep a spree killer from murdering his family or a tyrannical government from taking away his freedom. O\u2019Reilly doesn\u2019t understand this because he hasn\u2019t been the little guy in decades. He\u2019s become a major player in a powerful, self-congratulating media elite.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why I\u2019m not too surprised that the guy who backs the government over the people in the fight for 2A rights is the same guy who, allegedly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salon.com\/2017\/04\/18\/bill-oreilly-called-me-hot-chocolate-and-grunted-like-a-wild-boar-another-woman-accuses-fox-news-host-of-sexual-harassment\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"breaking-fox-news-says-goodbye-anti-gunner-bill-oreilly\" title=\"Breaking: Fox News Says Goodbye to Anti-Gunner Bill O\u2019Reilly\">calls an African-American clerical worker<\/a> \u201chot chocolate\u201d and \u201cgrunts at her like a wild boar.\u201d O\u2019Reilly has shown that he doesn\u2019t respect the rights of the little guy or gal in the face of the establishment.
