It's official: Fox has announced he's gone.

I have faith they will find someone equally as awful or maybe even worse to fill his timeslot.

Sad to see him go, one of the most balanced guys out there. Didn't let left or right get away with spin.

I heard hey will not even let him do a farewell.

20 years or so, a run like nobody else. Luckily they have a great bench to choose from.

God, I can't stand Gretchen Carlson. A former
Miss America, she's always looking for even
the hint of sexual harassment. Good riddance
to her, I always hit mute when she came on
anyway. She won't win, it's a ridiculous lawsuit.


EvenBob's first post in this thread is an all-time classic. I still can't understand how someone can be so wrong all the time.

He stopped posting here a long time ago. I suspect he blocked the thread in embarrassment.

I guess you are not including your own predictions and comments on Trump?

When I am wrong, I say I am wrong
I did not think Trump would be President. I was wrong
I am honest

When EB is wrong, he can never admit he was wrong.
He deflects or leaves the thread
Is EB never wrong, of course not. He just cant man up and ever admit it

Big difference

No, you do not. Just look at your position on BLM. When you are wrong you just claim the BLM representatives are not "true" members, even when they have leadership positions.

Exactly. He disappears until it blows over.

We have a difference in opinion in "true" BLM.
Its a grey area
A difference in opinion, that's all for me there, I'm not getting into this.
be cool and agree to disagree, we have gone on for pages in the past
Lets talk issues of today :-)

OK, fine. I am skeptical whenever a bunch of women all of the sudden pile on with sexual harassment claims. Bill O has been doing "The Factor" nearly 20 years and did other TV back to the mid-1980s at least. Now all of a sudden there is a problem?

I have had to investigate sexual harassment claims, mostly just behavior. Also my replacement at a branch got himself in the suit. In the former it was a case of misunderstanding and the women were scared to death when they realized what they started could get the guy fired. I totally saved his ass because my boss was ready to just clip him. I was like Mr. Niel fighting to save Gotti's life.

The other manager, the reaction of everyone was, "what took so long!" He was a known suspect for years, and it finally caught up with him. But when it did, no other complaints came out, just the one.

So, having seen it, my reaction is it is at least several of the women doing a shakedown.





Can agree with some of this. There are undoubtedly false claims made to jump on he bandwagon when a celebrity is embroiled in something like this. I would be shocked if some weren't totally made up. But on the other hand it is virtually indisputable that he is an offender to some degree at least. And given the multiple suits settled for multiple millions it is almost certain he is a serial offender.

Yes. My opinion is when the BLM group does something it is BLM. When a BLM leader goes on TV it is BLM. When BLM has a chapter meeting and says white people need not attend it is BLM.

Your opinion is if you cannot defend the above actions then it is not BLM.

No grey. This is how it has gone on and on.
