Bill O’Reilly reported for CBS News and ABC News and was an anchor on Inside Edition from 1989 to 1995. He joined the Fox News Channel in 1996 and was the host of The O’Reilly Factor until 2017. His career took a nosedive after the New York Times revealed in an investigation that he paid multiple women $50 million in sexual harassment settlements. Fox News fired him in April 2017. When a sixth accuser came forward, Fox News analyst Lis Wiehl, O’Reilly’s contracts with numerous sponsors and advertisers were severed. He currently hosts a podcast called the No Spin News.
