New York Magazine’s Gabriel Sherman is reporting that Fox News host Bill O’Reilly is out at the network after a 21 year run.
Per Sherman:
The Murdochs have decided Bill O’Reilly’s 21-year run at Fox News will come to an end. According to sources briefed on the discussions, network executives are preparing to announce O’Reilly’s departure before he returns from an Italian vacation on April 24. Now the big questions are how the exit will look and who will replace him.
