William A. Jacobson: The use of organized attacks on advertisers will continue, and will be used against conservative personalities who are not accused of anything near what O’Reilly was accused of. There’s blood in the water now.

I guess there had to be retribution for the Target boycott.
Access Hollywood tapes redux. If someone’s a big enough threat to the Left they will dig deep to find enough closet bones to dress up a destructive narrative and plan its’ launch to do the most damage. O’Reilly has been in the cross-hairs for a very long time. The unfortunate thing is all the huge amount of good the man has done over the years for at least a couple of dozen charities helping veterans and the poorest of the poor didn’t even enter public consideration over O’Reilly’s character. If a good accomplished giving person like Bill O’Reilly can have his character publically assassinated and livelihood destroyed over “she-said” coffee table thrown accusations it can be done to ANYONE the Left desires to Target.
Think back to the kangaroo court that destroyed Conrad black and his media empire and eliminating any chance to resurrect it. That is the moment I realized the left could destroy anyone.
Orielly was a walk in the park for the left.
Maybe, not being an O’Reily fan gives me a slightly different point of view. O’Reily like all TV shows has a ‘best before’ date and when said date is reached it is time to end the show and start anew. However making the transition from the old to the new can be difficult because the old show’s fans may not follow the new and the new has not yet built a fan base. The way around that is create some controversy regarding the old so more people are likely to tune into the new. Top Gear pulled the same stunt with Jeremy Clarkson and the silly charges they made against him. Will the strategy work? Who knows. I haven’t watched Top Gear since they changed the hosts and I won’t watch the new host in the O’Reily slot either.
“If a good accomplished giving person like Bill O’Reilly can have his character publically assassinated and livelihood destroyed over “she-said” coffee table thrown accusations it can be done to ANYONE the Left desires to Target.”
So is that what’s happened here? Some women are just making stuff up? No one was actually paid off in the past to keep silent? O’Reilly never sexually harassed anyone?
If all the allegations are in fact false, as you say, I would suggest someone with Bill O’Reilly’s resources would launch a civil action against the false accusers. And in the U.S of A., they love a good litigation.
Murdoch. “So, Bill, here’s how I’d like to handle your departure, so as to ensure a strong following for your replacement. We’re going to create a story that drags your name through the mud, destroys your ability to work in the business ever again, embarrasses your kids for the rest of their lives and pails anything good you’ve ever done in your life. What do you say, sport?”
Let that turn on your mental spit for a minute or two and see if your theory holds up.
Prominent personalities are huge targets, and yes, lots of people do make false accusations. If you’re not aware of that, you haven’t been keeping up with the news.
It’s also apparent that you didn’t read the linked article. O’Reilly was targeted in a well designed operation by Soros et al. The left cannot compete when it comes to balanced and fair news coverage and commentary. Their only option if they want to win, is to silence the conservative voices by whatever means possible, and they are devoting huge resources toward that goal. And they’re succeeding.
Try to keep up.
“O’Reilly was targeted in a well designed operation…”
I think Bill Clinton said something like that.
Anyway, I’m going to let you catch me up.
So you’re saying Bill O’Reilly was strategically attacked even though he had never done anything untoward. Just an innocent, conservative bystander. Over 20 years of impeccable service, charity, godliness. And now his career is over because of blatant lies and he isn’t going to do anything about it.
Alrighty. Makes sense.
“If a good accomplished giving person like Bill O’Reilly can have his character publically assassinated and livelihood destroyed over “she-said” coffee table thrown accusations it can be done to ANYONE the Left desires to Target.”
Too bad the ‘Left’ didn’t dig a little deeper into the she-said stuff regarding one Bill (Bubba) Clinton or perhaps JFK, eh Smitherenes!
Bill O’Reilly was obviously guilty – he is a man who doesn’t wear a dress and likes women. A prima facie case of sexual abuse if there ever was one. I had one advantage back in the day when I used women and threw them away – I had no money ……….. then again were they using me? Maybe I should have sued.
“Too bad the ‘Left’ didn’t dig a little deeper into the she-said stuff regarding one Bill (Bubba) Clinton…”
Actually, Clinton was impeached in the house but the senate republicans saved his hide. So you can’t blame everything on the left. Republicans had the opportunity to do the right thing and they wouldn’t.
Another two way street revealed by the Lefties
Actually, Clinton was impeached in the house but the senate republicans saved his hide. So you can’t blame everything on the left. Republicans had the opportunity to do the right thing and they wouldn’t.
Not true. The vote in the senate required a two thirds majority. All 50 Democrat Senators voted not guilty. There’s nothing the Senate Republicans could have done to change that fact.
Gloria Allred assembled a cadre of “women” who claimed they were sexually harassed by Donald Trump … a dozen or more at last count. And there was even some other “woman” who claimed Trump RAPED her at age 14 (her “case” thrown out of courts on each coast). And a former, bloated, Miss Universe even sobbed into the TV camera about how Trump had sexually “demeaned” her. Yet, all this … even coupled with an audio tape NAILING Trump for “talking” about women’s reproductive erogenous zones in a brutish way … couldn’t stop Trump. But make NO MISTAKE … the Left TRIED. SHE tried.
So WHY didn’t this crap work against Trump ? For one simple reason … it was all FALSE. It was all FAKE. The problem for O’Reilly is that he has a proven history of sexual misconduct in the workplace. In the case of O’Reilly … he had to defend his ACTUAL behavior. Big Difference. Even though I repeatedly call out the preponderance of FAKE “hate” crimes perpetrated by leftist “special interest” groups … I reserve the right to accept and acknowledge TRUTH (when it can be proven). O’Reilly MADE himself a target … by his own ACTUAL behavior (even IF the current claims are false).
We have also watched in horror, as Bill Cosby was taken down by multiple dubious “recovered memories” of his molestations. Seems as though Bill suffered from the same affliction as Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas … a prominent black man with a conservative message. Sorry Anita, we NEVER “believed you”. Your bizarre, pathetic, fabrications were summarily dismissed as the public removed the noose of your high tech lynching. I also believe that Cosby has been FALSELY charged (in most cases). The courts seem to have agreed with me as multiple Does have been summmarily dismissed. However, Cosby seems to have had a demonstrable penchant for extramarital dalliances … which is why he continues to suffer the indignity of this orchestrated leftist attack.
Word to the wise. Don’t dip your wick where it don’t belong. And DON’T be an arrogant DICK! (like O’Reilly).
The oh so tolerant Left made fun of VP Pence for not dining alone with women and insisting the his wife be present. Imagine if Bill O’Reilly had the sense and discipline to do the same? She said, he said doesn’t work if you have a third party present.
Bill Clinton can use a twenty-something unpaid intern’s vagina as a humidor, can be accused by multiple women as a rapist. And he is the respected Elder Statesman of the Democrat Party. Even NOW defended the perverted old man. Bill O’Reilly should have been a bomb throwing leftist on MSNBC instead. That is bimbo insurance!
Well, I can see there are a few people with sense who comment here. Those are the ones who clearly see that anyone and everyone can be a target.
Out numbered by clear morons who obviously atill believe everything they see and hear on NPR, CBC, BBC, NYT, CNN…
All you sub human intellect “O’Reilly is guilty” people; expect no help, sympathy, or anything from me when it is your turn. As Niemöller said; you had your chance to speak when they came for other people. You clearly have not taken it.
A version of this tactic is being used on youtube to demonetize conservative commentators who are popular and against firearms review channels as well as a number of others.
Gloria Allred is little more than a high-priced ambulance-chaser.
Killing O’Reilly. That maxed out the clever meter!
I listened to an interview on CBC radio with Wendy Walsh (hey, I’m in White River and it’s the only radio station). She told a very convincing story about O’Reilly offering to help promote her and let’s talk more about it in my hotel suite. After she declined, he declined and her opportunity disappeared in what she described as a well practiced technique of deferral and postponement.
People can be good at what they do and a-holes underneath. I’ve met enough. O’Reilly was masterful at unwinding the left narrative. That is why his show was so popular. His his viewership even peaked after this story broke. He has (had) a loyal following.
Killing O’Reilly must have been a set up, what Producer would cast a Democrat activist as a Gypsy fortune teller (w/ a Plastic Parrot on her shoulder) on the O’Reilly show.. Why have a delusional psychologist personality expert spinning yourself WHY…..
The NYT will wish they never pushed this nonsense. We have to “throw away the innocent until proven guilty” “Throw away settlements without guilt”
Throw away a Nation of Laws and we regress back to witch burning and
vigilante hangings.. The power of a sick social media….
The Next young lady who is actually sexually harassed will have to go all the way to a jury trial, No more settlements..Gets ugly
The MSM will win nothing, but contempt… & O’Reilly will re-emerge stronger and hopefully smarter
Well stated! Many people have preconceived notions that anything bad must be true. When a woman makes any accusation toward a man it’s almost always guilty until proven innocent.
Too bad the Senate didn’t have a set big enough to finish the impeachment of Bill Clinton. That might have finished off a lot of this incipient bad behavior by Democrats. If he’d of gone down…
Cosby co authored a book.
The left and race baiters didn’t like it.
Thus he was targeted.
