My God, Fox just dropped Bill O'Reilly. I feel like my adolescence is crumbling around me. We would boo and hiss this dude, thinking he was the literal worst Fox News could produce, not knowing people like Glenn Beck were just down the road. The Bush administration, Republican congress, and Fox News were this triad that liberals tried to smash against but only produced broken bodies afterward. Democrats were just a mess with no one steering that ship, but Fox News and Bush could provide a coherent, singular message that never seemed to break even during the most difficult points of the Iraq War. And now it's the Republicans who are scrambling even when they have their own dude in the White House, and O'Reilly has fallen from grace. It's crazy to see how quickly the sands can shift.

What throws me off is why now? Yeah, this all started thanks to an article at The New York Times, but we've known for years that O'Reilly is a sexual harasser. That's nothing new. It's like bringing up that Cheney is a dick. We're all aware of it.
