BILL O’REILLY WILL GET TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR BEING FIRED

Bill O’Reilly will receive a huge amount of money as payout from Fox News after being forced out of the media outfit earlier in the week. A source personally involved in the exit maneuverings disclosed to other media outlets that, “It is a staggering amount”.

Reports suggest that the payout for Mr. Bill O’Reilly is in the range of tens of millions of dollars and this is largely due to the fact that O’Reilly had only recently signed a contract extension before he was ousted. Sources also revealed that the new contract would have extended through the next U.S. presidential election. This means that the contract would have expired either at the end of 2020 or sometime in 2021.

According to The Washington Post, Bill O’Reilly signed the new deal in March, a few weeks before The New York Times published reports of O’Reilly’s alleged sexual harassment. Bill O’Reilly however released a statement to reiterate his innocence, “It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today.”

Bill O’Reilly had a 21-year stint with Fox News and he was the host of ‘The O’Reilly Factor’, a political commentary program. It was disclosed yesterday that Tucker Carlson will take over the 8 p.m. ET timeslot. Bill O’Reilly is one of the most accomplished TV personalities in the history of cable news.
