Katty Kay: Murdochs Dumped O’Reilly to Help Their Bid for Sky News in the UK

‘It would be nice to think that Fox News had fired bill O’Reilly for moral reasons’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KAY: "It would be nice to think that Fox News had fired bill O'Reilly for moral reasons. After Roger Ailes left the network last December, they continued to pay settlements in order to keep women quiet accusing Bill O'Reilly of sexual harassment. I think what's behind this is Rupert Murdock wants to buy sky news in the uk. There's a review coming up in the middle of may and will look at, quote, whether the new owners are fit and proper. They didn't want sexual allegations in the same sentence as Fox News."
