Bill O'Reilly Quits (Sorta)!

Filed under: TV News > Bill O'Reilly

billo__opt1.jpg

Feeling the heat from Keith Olbermann, Bill O?

The conservatives's beloved Bill O'Reilly announced on Thursday that he's giving up his top rated radio show in the first quarter of 2009.

He's apparently leaving radioland to pour more time into his 'fair and balanced' show on the Fox News cable channel.

"The media business is getting more and more intense," he says. "We've got to keep the TV show at the level we have it now, and that means more and more time to keep it competitive and fresh. I've been working 60, 65 hours a week and I just can't keep doing that."

Lazy!

It was recently revealed that Fox top boss, Rupert Murdoch, 'absolutely despises' Bill O and only tolerates him because he brings in the bucks.

It looks like Bill is prioritizing for his own good!

    Billy O is not a conservative, he's MODERATE, you dork! Quit with the false dilemma- people aren't either conservative or liberal, there are other options. Glad to educate you.



  29. 29

    It's sad that a large majority of American's still behave like Bill O'Reilly…..BQ



  30. 30

    O'Reilly is so repulsive and obnoxious. I can only watch him for no more than 5 minutes before I want throw the tv out the window.l Fair and balanced my ass.



  31. 31

    Re: duckyhead – SORRY FUCKTARD I WATCH CTV NEWS, CANADIAN NEWS! NOT YOUR PROPAGANDA BULLSHIT! NICE TRY THOUGH!



  32. 32

    He'll help the ratings of his show if he shows up on Fridays rather than the even more insufferable Laura Ingram, but the tide has turned, and while he'll continue to be the preferred pundit in old folks homes across the USA, the key demo audience has switched to MSNBC.
    .
    GO TEAM KEITH AND RACHEL!



  33. 33

    love bill…. one of the best culture warriors. love his books too. he's not a smear merchant like the loons on the left



  34. 34

    Good riddance.



  35. 35

    Good riddance to that patronizing, hostile fuck. Sean H. next??



  36. 36

    Working 65 hours a week is LAZY now?
    How many hours a week do you work, Perez? Like three?
    His radio show is the highest rated in the nation, so he's clearly putting it on hold just so he can devote himself to his show. If it were that retarded fake journalist Olbermann in this same situation you'd be going on about how dedicated and mature he is. Yet another example of uneducated liberals and their double standards.



  37. 37

    Re: VeganVal
    um… HUH?! msnbc is one of the least watched news program… both conservatives and liberals can't take it seriously because it is so obviously biased. check the reports. the factor is one of the highest rating cable shows of ALL cable shows, not just news. (of cable news it is the highest). it isn't just old folks watching o'reilly and fox. it's LOTS of young people who are traditionalists and don't want to see this country brought down by the wacko ideas of the secular progressives.

    do your research next time.

    Keith Olbermann was fired from ESPN because EVERYONE hated his arrogant and malicious act. You wouldn't be the sort to watch ESPN much, so find someone who does and ask them why little whiney maddog Keith was fired. Olbermann literally foams at the mouth. Bill O'Reilly does have both sides on his show, but you wouldn't know that because you haven't ever watched him. You just like watching clips taken out of context.



  44. 44

    Re: PoisonApple – you're awesome too, dahling



  45. 45

    ((((((Perez)))))))

    Did you just call a man who works 60 to 65 hours a week Lazy ???

    R u kidding me ?

    Can the man ( at his age ) not take it easy ?

    Apparently not wit you.



  46. 46

    Maybe he can expand the TV show into 90 minutes.



  47. 47

    He's a rotten old fuck, should retire. I used to like him but he turned out to be like the rest of the right wing cocksuckers, ie Hannity, Limbaugh. What a douche bag.



  48. 48

    don't need to read this post to know i hate this piece of shit.



  49. 49

    Keith Olberman is a whiny baby…Although I do not agree with everything that Bill says he is right most of the time…All Olberman can do is complain about is Fox news..



  50. 50

    Well shit, fuk. Even though I don't watch the old fuk, I like people like him. Bipolar bitches, one minute your sitting there calm and the next minute he's screamin like my brother Otis..like ”'WHAT THE FUK ARE YOU DOING, YOU FUKIN IDIOT FUKHEAD!!!!!!
    This dude needs some serious WEEDS TO CALM HIM THE FUK DOWN..HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LIKE ME…HEHE



  51. 51

    He is the only one that tells it like it is. Love Bill, he rules.



  52. 52

    Good fucking riddance you old fart



  53. 53

    no body that has worked with Bill O the clown likes him…he is a complete piece of shit!



  54. 54

    Perez, WTF! Keith Olbermann? Olbermann hates gays, he tried to out Anderson Cooper.Isn't that Anderson's choice?Olbermann is a former ESPN sportscaster (good ole boy) hoping to be taken seriously with his own political spin. Olbermann is a liar and a cheat. MSNBC had to suspend Olbermann AND Matthews from doing live debates during the election since both gave corrupt information to unknowing viewers. Another words both lied about the events during the election. After watching these MSNBC bozos, Bill looks pretty good.Oh, and just think. Matthews might be in Congress someday. More loons in the bin….



  55. 55

    Leave Bill alone, Perez. Even non-conservatives watch him on telly. Now if only he'd get a chin lift.



  56. 56

    If Bill is so honest does he talk about the harrassement suit that Fox News had to settle out of court. Bill is a bafoon who thinks he can bully anyone including this producers. The thought of O'Reilly and his LOUFA (sp) makes my skin crawl.



  57. 57

    Sadly…Mario hasn't worked 60 hours a week in his life!
    Mr. O'Reilly is a smart, honest, no BS pundit. He is a pundit, he gives his opinions…like them or not. He speaks for a great majority of the population.
    Bill also has the highest rated cable news program. Higher ratings than MSNBC and CNN combined for the 8 and 11 pm showings.



  58. 58

    P-E-R-E-Z!!!! are you tarded? I don't expect you to be on Bill O's side…. but surely you have to realize O'Reilly's just as "fair" as Olbermann. Which doesn't say much for either. I've watched both & I'm seeing Olbermann leaning more to the left than Bill does to the right. Consider yourself enlightened.

  62. 62

    Keith Olbermann is an idiot! Bill just tells the truth and calls people out, like that jerk Barney Frank. Keith is too afraid to do that! Bill has the ratings because he is better than Keith and doesn't stoop to Keith's level of stupidity!



  63. 63

    THE FACT THAT MURDOCK KEEPS HIM AROUND 'ONLY' BECAUSE BILL O IS A CASH COW SAYS MORE ABOUT MURDOCK THAN O'REILLY!!
    .
    BESIDES… I'M SURE THE RADIO SHOW IS A PAIN IN THE ARSE AND A TIME SUCK!
    .
    HE MAKES THE MOST MONEY FROM HIS TV SHOW AND BOOKS.
    .
    THE RADIO SHOW WAS PROBABLY PART OF THE FULL FOX CONTRACT AND O WAS BURDENED BY IT. I DOUBT HE IS LOSING MONEY FROM HIS FOX CONTRACT, JUST NEGOTIATING HIS WAY OUT OF THE HASSLE OF DOING THE RADIO PORTION.

    i love bill! he is the only person who actually asks the tough questions and isn't ONE SIDED LIKE MOST MEDIA!



  65. 65

    Stop! America needs Bill O'Reilly. People are getting way out of control and very mean and uncompassionate.
    Love you Perez and read everyday.



  66. 66

    Faux News and Fair and Balanced = Oxymoron.



  67. 67

    Re: WITness

    No, Sunshine, YOU check your facts. Fox has more total viewers, but MSNBC is winning in the key 25-54 demo - the demo advertisers want to reach. Hence my comment that Fox is preferred by senior citizens, but MSNBC is winning in the KEY demo.



  68. 68

    You're an idiot! Keith O wishes his ratings were as good as Bill O's.



  69. 69

    O love O'Reilly! At least he's not a whiny bitch like Olberman. Call Bill what you like, but I don't think "lazy" is a very good description of a 60-something man who wants to cut down to 1 job instead of 2.



  70. 70

    Keith Olbermann??? What a joke! O'Reilly has held the top spot in the cable news ratings for over five years straight. Bathtub boy Olbermann can't come close to O'Reilly's ratings.

    I suspect Bill's leaving the radio because he hasn't come close to matching Rush Limbaugh's ratings on the radio.
