My Firing Was 'a Hit' by the Far
Left
Bill O'Reilly broke his silence
Friday in his first interview since being fired by Fox News, saying his
dismissal was "a hit" caused by the "destroying voices" of
the "far left." "This was a hit and in the
weeks to come we're going to be able to explain some of it," O'Reilly told
"The Glenn Beck Radio Program."
Last month, Fox News parted ways
with O'Reilly after a series of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior
claims leveled against him in recent years. The New York Times had reported
that five women received large payments in exchange for not pursuing litigation
or speaking about the accusations.

O'Reilly said Fox was pressured by
left-wing activists who came in and threatened sponsors unless they stopped
running commercials on the highly-rated "O'Reilly Factor."
He said he and his legal team would
soon be naming names of those they believe are behind a plot to get him fired.
But he named liberal billionaire businessman George Soros as one of the chief
funders against conservative opinion.
"There's going to be an
exposition soon but I can't tell you when … I was target No. 1, it's sad for me,
it's sad for my family … From now on, when I 'm attacked I'm going to take
action, mostly legal action," he said.
O'Reilly said he was returning to
the United States from a trip to Rome and the Vatican when he learned he had
been dismissed by the Fox News Channel. "My attorneys told me and we
were all shocked … I had 20 good years at FNC. We were caught by surprise, but
it's [Fox's] prerogative," he told Beck.
"People know that the left-wing
media hates Fox and hates me … but they don't know the extent of it… We're
accumulating information and someday it will all be clear." O'Reilly also attacked the press,
saying some media outlets are as "evil as it gets.'' He chastized Beck for
believing news reports that he had received a $25 million kiss-off from Fox.
"In American journalism right
now, very few are seeking the truth. What they do ... is come up with this
scenario and try to reinforce that," he said. Asked about this week's firing of
FBI Director James Comey, O'Reilly said there were several reasons President
Donald Trump had acted. "Trump does not trust James
Comey … He doesn't like the fact that Comey is unpredictable [and] … that Comey
would not aggressively investigate the leaks that have plagued the Trump
administration," O'Reilly said.
But he also criticized the White
House for being too "undisciplined" in its day-to-day management. "The Trump administration
always makes mistakes by being undisciplined … The messaging is always the
problem … [White House Press Secretary Sean] Spicer's just weak," O'Reilly
said.
He said the "straight press,
the journalists, the hard news reporters, they now are devoting most of their
time to destroying Donald Trump." "They hate him, by extension
anybody who gives Trump a fair play, anybody, is going to be attacked as well …
There's this monolithic and very powerful industry that's developed to get
Trump out of office," O'Reilly said.
"On the left you get, 'We're
going to take him out.' … That's what the New York Times wants to do … This
dishonesty in the media is harming this country." Trump Terrifies the
Democrats, They’re Using Comey for Impeachment!
