Here Are All The Advertisers Fleeing Bill O’Reilly’s Show

Dozens of advertisers have pulled their content from The OReilly Factor following revelations that several women have accused host Bill OReilly of sexual harassment.

Since Monday night, more than 40 companies that advertise with Fox News have announced theyre splitting from the show a response to a bombshell New York Times reportindicating that OReilly and Fox News have paid around $13 million in settlements to address complaints brought by five of his former female colleagues.

Fox News said in a statement Tuesday that it values its ad partners and is working with them to address their current concerns about the OReilly Factor. At this time, the ad buys of those clients have been re-expressed into other [Fox News Channel]programs.

Fox News did not immediately respond to a question about whether any companies have pulled ads from the network entirely.

from Here Are All The Advertisers Fleeing Bill O’Reilly’s Show

[gehayi]

Bill O’Reilly is in trouble. Bigly. After the New York Times revealed the Fox News star and the network have at least five sexual harassment lawsuits in the last decade, advertisers began to flee his show. Mercedes-Benz was the first to jump and within hours, the floodgates were open. During last night’s show, only a handful of advertisements were featured and several of the remaining companies, like Next Day Blings, are trying to get out as soon as possible:

“We buy our media quarterly,” explained company spokeswoman Katie Henkes, “and are constantly monitoring to make sure our buy aligns with our advertising strategy and our target customers. As soon as we learned about the accusations against Bill O’Reilly, we instructed our media buyer to cancel our advertising on 'The O'Reilly Factor.' Unfortunately, our media buyer was unable to impact [Wednesday's] show.”

Luke Lappala, a spokesman for Scottevest, said his company “cannot continue to advertise on 'The O'Reilly Factor' and directed our media buyer to pull all advertising from the program immediately. Unfortunately, our media buyer was not able to pull the ads for Wednesday night in time.”

Invisalign is abandoning O'Reilly, too, but spokeswoman Shannon Mangum Henderson said “it can take a few days for a schedule to clear,” which is why commercials did not vanish right away.

Think Progress reports the show abruptly ended 15 minutes early last [Thursday] night.

On Thursday night, virtually all national advertisers abandoned The O’Reilly Factor, the nation’s top-rated cable news show. The program included just seven advertisements and was, without warning or explanation, cut 15 minutes short.

Meanwhile, Fox and O’Reilly have been unusually quiet. Pussycat got their tongues?

Fox News and its star host Bill O'Reilly appear to have developed a strategy in response to allegations of serial sexual harassment and the mass defections of advertisers from O'Reilly's program: Say as little as possible.

The voluble TV personality has said nothing on the air about the controversy since it broke over the weekend. Fox News has all but ignored any reporting about it in its broadcasts and on its website; its one acknowledgment was a 25-second summary on its "Media Buzz" program on Sunday. It has not mentioned the advertiser reaction.

In case you are wondering, one of the only companies announcing they’ll stick by O’Reilly is Angie’s List. A company founded by a woman. Their statement is below:

“We do not have plans to change our ad buy. The advertising strategy we have long used at Angie’s List is meant to reach as many people as possible with news that our service exists and is available to them. We place ads across a wide spectrum of venues intending to reach as many viewers/listeners/readers as possible without taking a position on the viewpoints of the venues themselves. Just as we trust members to make their own hiring decisions, we trust them to make their own media consumption decisions.” 

[Gehayi here. On Friday, after Hayden’s post was written, Angie’s List withdrew its ads from The O’Reilly Factor. This was confirmed today, April 8, 2017, by Time.com and Deadline.com.]

It isn’t hard to imagine Bill O’Reilly is quietly freaking out behind the scenes, just like the good ol’ days. Play us out, Bill-O:

Samantha Bee fixes Bill O'Reilly's lame 'apology' in one perfect tweet

Samantha Bee's response to Bill O'Reilly's statement about being let go from Fox News can be expressed in four letters: FTFY. In a tweet, the Comedy Central host promptly fixed up Bill O'Reilly's statement that went out a few hours after the conservative talk show host was fired from his Fox News show.

SEE ALSO: Bill O'Reilly was fired from Fox News and this is the internet's go-to joke

With just a few quick changes Bee took O'Reilly's five dry sentences to the next level. 

For example, instead of the show entertaining "millions of Americans," Bee corrects it to say O'Reilly only entertained "dads." Truth. "Informed" becomes "lied to," and the most notable change: "It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims to finally get in trouble for being a sexual predator."

Fixed. pic.twitter.com/pKUHKzJ3Vz

Here's the original statement in its pure form:

Bee isn't the only one making jokes about O'Reilly's downfall. The entire internet chimed in about the development with the same joke, which all came only a few short weeks after a series of sexual harassment claims, revelations about $13 million in harassment settlements, and tons of fleeing advertisers.

The internet was all about Bee's quick edit.

Dads and those close to them, however, took issue with being lumped in with O'Reilly fans. 

@FullFrontalSamB @KristenePerron Kind of harsh to the Dads of America, aren't you?

Fox News, for its part, is in the midst of some editing too — it's eliminating all things O'Reilly from prime time.

WATCH: Bill O'Reilly is finally out at Fox News, but hold off on your victory dance

[realestate63141]

Oh No, Mr. Bill!

Like what you read below? Sign up for HUFFPOST HILL and get a cheeky dose of political news every evening!

Financial entanglements forced Todd Ricketts to withdraw his nomination to be deputy commerce secretary — proving your bookkeeping can be too murky even for the Trump administration. Evan McMullin is vying to raise his national profile — oh, he’s also mulling a run for Congress. And Bill O’Reilly was fired from Fox News. Somewhere, Jeff Zucker just asked someone to hold his beer. This is HUFFPOST HILL for Wednesday, April 19th, 2017:

NIL O’REILLY - Thank goodness for Ivanka and Jared’s moderating influence over Rupert Murdoch. Lydia O’Connor and Michael Calderone: “Bill O’Reilly will no longer be employed at Fox News, the network’s parent company 21st Century Fox said in a statement Wednesday. The decision comes after allegations of him sexually harassing female colleagues prompted protests outside network headquarters and a mass exodus from advertisers…. Fox News host Tucker Carlson will take over O’Reilly’s 8 p.m. time slot next Monday, Fox confirmed…. Following a bombshell New York Times report earlier this month indicating O’Reilly and Fox News have paid around $13 million in settlements to address complaints brought by five of his former female colleagues, advertisers began fleeing the show. Within days, more than 50 companies announced they would no longer air spots during the show.” [HuffPost]

How did O’Reilly stay on board for so long? “Even beyond these incidents, O’Reilly often made clear his contempt for women. On his radio show in August 2006, he commented on the rape and murder of a young woman, suggesting that she shared some of the blame because of her intoxicated state and what she was wearing…. I wrote about O’Reilly’s comments in 2009 when I worked for the site ThinkProgress, tied to the news that he was slated to speak at a fundraiser to benefit rape survivors. In return, O’Reilly sent his producer, Jesse Watters, to track me down and ambush me while I was on vacation in another state a few weeks later.” [HuffPost’s Amanda Terkel]

In the middle of all this, O’Reilly met the pope on Thursday.

CHAFFETZ RETIRING FROM CONGRESS - The Utah congressman is looking forward to spending more time with his wife a corkboard in his basement covered with magazine cutouts of Hillary Clinton connected by thumbtacks and red string. Paige Lavender and Matt Fuller: “Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), the controversial chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said on Wednesday he will not run for re-election, after BuzzFeed reported that he would retire at the end of this term…. Chaffetz noted he would ‘not be a candidate for any office in 2018,’ leaving open the possibility he may run for governor in 2020…. His decision sets off an immediate gavel fight to take over the top spot on the oversight committee…. Among some of the leading contenders for the spot are former Freedom Caucus Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Rep. Jimmy Duncan (R-Tenn.), and the man Chaffetz beat out for the gavel in late 2014: Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio).” [HuffPost]

But will David French get into the race? “[F]ormer independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin spoke with advisers to evaluate his options in the state with a victory suddenly seeming more likely than before…. [A] source close to McMullin told Independent Journal Review that McMullin is ‘considering running in 2018’ but still hasn’t made a decision on how he will proceed.” [IJR]

RICKETTS WITHDRAWS NOMINATION - Lynn Sweet: “Unable to untangle his complex financial holdings to the satisfaction of the Office of Government Ethics, Cubs board member Todd Ricketts, tapped by President Donald Trump to be the Deputy Commerce Secretary, on Wednesday withdrew his nomination, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned. Ricketts, a Wilmette resident who is a member of the billionaire Ricketts clan, was willing to divest his considerable personal portfolio of holdings, but that was apparently not enough. Some of the Ricketts investments are in family enterprises, including the Cubs…. Ricketts has varied business interests, from his ‘Higher Gear’ bike store in Wilmette to his position on the TD Ameritrade board. The Ricketts family are large shareholders of the company Joe Ricketts founded in 1975. Ricketts and his three siblings are on the Cubs board, legally known as Chicago Baseball Holdings LLC.” [Chicago Sun-Times]

TRUMP-CURIEL SHOWDOWN, PT. 2 - Alan Gomez: “President Trump will confront a familiar figure in the lawsuit over a DREAMer who was deported by federal immigration agents: U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel. He’s the judge who oversaw a lawsuit involving Trump University who Trump accused of being biased because of his ‘Mexican heritage.’ Curiel, who was born in Indiana, approved a $25 million settlement between Trump and students who claimed they overpaid for real estate seminars…. Now, Curiel has been assigned to handle a lawsuit brought on behalf of Juan Manuel Montes, 23, a California resident who was deported in February despite being approved for the Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides protective status for undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children.” [USA Today]

ADELSON DUMPED A LOT OF MONEY ON TRUMP’S INAUGURATION - Condolences to the online gambling industry. Rosalind S. Helderman and John Wagner: “Casino magnate and Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson donated $5 million to President Trump’s inaugural festivities, as corporate interests and lobbyists lifted the inaugural committee’s fundraising to record levels. In all, more than 45 individuals and companies donated at least $1 million each to the effort as Trump broke with the practice of most recent inaugural committees and placed no limits on corporate or individual donors. Major donors included Robert Mercer, the hedge fund manager who has been one of Trump’s biggest donors, Dow Chemical, and Phillip Ruffin, a longtime Trump friend and business partner. Several owners of National Football League teams gave $1 million, including Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, Los Angeles Rams owner Stanley Kroenke, Houston Texans owner Robert McNair and a Trump friend who owns the New England Patriots, Robert K. Kraft, whose team is visiting the White House on Wednesday.” [WaPo]

FUTURE FAILED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ANDREW CUOMO MADE A LOT OF MONEY OFF OF A BAD BOOK - Tom Precious: “Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo...has made $783,000 from HarperCollins for his book. The book sold 3,200 copies since it was published in the fall of 2014, according to tracking company NPD BookScan. That works out to royalty payments to Cuomo of $245 per book…. In his 2016 tax filings made public Monday, the book royalty income was listed at $218,100…. Cuomo’s government spokesman declined to say how many copies of the book have been sold. ‘This payment was contractual and per the agreement with the publisher,’’ Richard Azzopardi, a Cuomo spokesman, said of the book income in 2015.” [Buffalo News]

WONDER HOW THIS WILL GO - Congratulations to Exxon Mobil on its resumed joint venture.  Jay Solomon and Bradley Olson: “Exxon Mobil Corp has applied to the Treasury Department for a waiver from U.S. sanctions on Russia in a bid to resume its joint venture with state oil giant PAO Rosneft, according to people familiar with the matter. Exxon has been seeking U.S. permission to drill with Rosneft in several areas banned by sanctions and applied in recent months for a waiver to proceed in the Black Sea, according to these people…. Congress has also launched an investigation into whether there were ties between aides to Donald Trump and Russia’s government during the presidential campaign and the political transition.Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is Exxon’s former chief executive officer and in that role forged a close working relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and with Rosneft, a company that is critical to Russia’s oil-reliant economy.” [WSJ]

ANOTHER BUSH VYING TO SCREW UP ANOTHER MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM - Guess they’ll be able to bond over the fact that they both dated Mariah Carey. Douglas Hanks: “Jeb Bush and Derek Jeter have joined forces in their bid to buy the Miami Marlins, according to sources familiar with the talks. The former Florida governor and retired New York Yankees star once were rivals for the Major League Baseball franchise but now have teamed up to try and buy the team, the sources said. They are competing against a New York financier named Wayne Rothbaum, manager of Quogue Capital, a source close to the situation said. It is not known if other would-be suitors of the Marlins remain in the hunt.” [Miami Herald]

OH MY! Patricia Mazzei: “Miami Republican Sen. Frank Artiles dropped the n-word to a pair of African-American colleagues in private conversation Monday night — after calling one of them a ‘fucking asshole,’ a ‘bitch’ and a ‘girl,’ the two senators said. Over drinks after 10 p.m. at the members-only Governors Club just steps from the state Capitol, Artiles told Sens. Audrey Gibson of Jacksonville and Perry Thurston of Fort Lauderdale that Senate President Joe Negron of Stuart had risen to his powerful GOP leadership role because ‘six niggers’ in the Republican caucus had elected him…. It’s unclear whom Artiles was referring to, since the only black senators in the state Senate are all Democrats.” [Miami Herald]

BECAUSE YOU’VE READ THIS FAR - Here’s a beagle playing the piano.

FLORIDA TO BE SLIGHTLY LESS TERRIBLE FOR A BIT - New Jersey, however… well, you can’t make zero any more devoid of value than it already is. Darren Samuelsohn and Ken Vogel: “[O]nce his exclusive seaside retreat at Mar-a-Lago closes for the season, Trump is expected to shift his weekend plans north, to his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey — and bring with him all the chaos that comes with being a preferred presidential destination. ‘We’re kind of apprehensive, I guess you could say,’ said Nick Strakhov, a retired telecommunications professional and longtime resident who serves on the Bedminster land use board. ‘It’s nice to be recognized. But on the other hand, if it gets to be tedious, we might start to complain.’ Street closures and traffic jams were a big problem last fall across the region when the then-president-elect traveled to Bedminster by motorcade from Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan for a weekend’s worth of interviews with potential Cabinet nominees.” [Politico]

WATCH: Fox News BANNED This Ad From Showing on the O’Reilly Factor. There’s a Reason.

John Oliver just created a blistering ad to educate our TV-loving president about sexual assault, so naturally, Fox News shamelessly banned it. Oliver’s ad called Trump OUT for his ridiculously out-of-touch stance on sexual assault.

Advertisers have been fleeing Fox News in the wake of numerous sexual assault cases against Bill O’Reilly, yet Donald Trump still has the gall to defend O’Reilly’s character. That’s why John Oliver created his ad: to use Fox as a platform to catch Trump’s attention.

“We have produced an ad to educate Donald Trump to air during The O’Reilly Factor in New York and D.C.,” Oliver said. “We submitted it to stations on Friday, but weirdly, we haven’t heard back from them since—which is a little surprising, because we are one of the only advertisers offering to buy time on his show at the moment.”

“To recap this story for you: Bill O’Reilly needs advertisers and Donald Trump needs to understand sexual harassment,” Oliver reminded the audience. “And here is where we come in.”

Then Oliver shows the ad in question, and it’s so scathing that it’s no surprise Fox News would NEVER let it air on their network. The ad features “Catheter Cowboy,” who jokingly presents himself as the host of a catheter commercial before shifting into a DEVASTATING lesson on sexual harassment aimed right at Trump himself.

“Repeated unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks constitutes sexual harassment,” Catheter Cowboy said. “If there’s a power disparity between the two parties, well, that’s about as inappropriate as lubricating a catheter with hot sauce, partner!” The ad just gets better from there.

“And if you’ve got a friend who’s accused of something like that, I might think twice about defending him.” Catheter Cowboy continues. “‘Cause that just contributes to a culture where women don’t want to come forward.”

“You’re sacrificing the chance to make society a better place on the altar of your tower of ignorance and fragile ego,” Catheter Cowboy said. “And I know you might not care about that, but on some level, you’ve gotta know you’re blowing this.”

Wow, can you just imagine if Trump had really watched this ad on Fox News? Knowing how easily he succumbs to humiliation, his head might have exploded.

If Trump’s recent piggish behavior is any indication, then he needs to take Oliver’s ad to heart. There’s no place for a chauvinist scumbag in the White House.

POLL: Do you agree that Trump is guilty of sexual assault?

Where do you stand on Oliver’s ad? Do you agree that Trump needs to be educated on sexual assault?

Please take our poll below and speak your mind! Raising our voices is the last thing Trump wants us to do.

function googleBarChartInit() { google.charts.load('current', {packages: ['corechart']}); google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); function drawChart() { var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([ ['Answer', 'Count'], ["Yes", 4098], ["No", 472], ]); var options = { title: "POLL: Do you agree that Trump is guilty of sexual assault? results" }; var chart = new google.visualization.PieChart(document.getElementById("poll_values_4499")); chart.draw(data, options); } }

The American people deserve so much better than the hoggish behavior Trump has been committing while in office. He’s insulting ALL of us because he’s continuing full-steam ahead with no regard for human decency or what the MAJORITY of Americans think.

Well, it’s time for President Trump to face the facts, no matter how much he hates them. The American people are FED UP with the Orange Tyrant’s presidency, and we’ll be seeing to it that he’s shown the door IMMEDIATELY.

Help us keep taking Trump to account for each and every one of his ridiculous abuses. Please share this story on Facebook ASAP.

Amid new revelations about sexual harassment claims against him, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly has a small section about consent in his newly released book, “Old School: Life in the Sane Lane.” 

The book, which hit shelves last week, is an ode to “Old School folks [who] tough it out” and a criticism of people whom O’Reilly and co-author Bruce Feirstein describe as “Snowflakes: the people who blame everyone else for their failures ... who are sooooo sensitive to every slight.”

In a chapter titled “Social,” O’Reilly and Feirstein impart “some Old School [dating] advice” on readers, which includes: 

“5) No means no. It would be easy to make fun of all the hoops college administrators expect their students to jump through today before they engage in any kind of intimacy. But there’s no middle ground here. It’s all about the Old School tenets of respect and responsibility. No means no.”

The chapter and dating advice concludes with the line, “Never let anyone treat you badly. That’s Old School.”

Earlier this week, The New York Times released a bombshell investigation that uncovered about $13 million in settlements O’Reilly and Fox News have paid to women who worked with the host and who lodged complaints about his behavior, ranging from verbal abuse to sexual harassment. 

The Fox News host has denied the allegations, though his show has lost more than 40 advertisers since the Times published its article. 

Despite the fallout, O’Reilly’s book will debut at the top of the New York Times bestseller list the week of April 16, CNN reported. And as advertisers flee the show, viewers are tuning in to watch. Ratings for the Monday and Tuesday broadcasts of “The O’Reilly Factor” were up 14 percent from the prior week.

Bill O'Reilly Writes About Consent In New Book: 'No Means No'

Amid new revelations about sexual harassment claims against him, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly has a small section about consent in his newly released book, “Old School: Life in the Sane Lane.” 

The book, which hit shelves last week, is an ode to “Old School folks [who] tough it out” and a criticism of people whom O’Reilly and co-author Bruce Feirstein describe as “Snowflakes: the people who blame everyone else for their failures ... who are sooooo sensitive to every slight.”

In a chapter titled “Social,” O’Reilly and Feirstein impart “some Old School [dating] advice” on readers, which includes: 

“5) No means no. It would be easy to make fun of all the hoops college administrators expect their students to jump through today before they engage in any kind of intimacy. But there’s no middle ground here. It’s all about the Old School tenets of respect and responsibility. No means no.”

The chapter and dating advice concludes with the line, “Never let anyone treat you badly. That’s Old School.”

Earlier this week, The New York Times released a bombshell investigation that uncovered about $13 million in settlements O’Reilly and Fox News have paid to women who worked with the host and who lodged complaints about his behavior, ranging from verbal abuse to sexual harassment. 

The Fox News host has denied the allegations, though his show has lost more than 40 advertisers since the Times published its article. 

Despite the fallout, O’Reilly’s book will debut at the top of the New York Times bestseller list the week of April 16, CNN reported. And as advertisers flee the show, viewers are tuning in to watch.
