Meet Bill O’Reilly, the disgraced ex-Fox News commentator who shaped the US conservative media landscape – but what are his ties to Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump?
He was later axed from the network amid sexual harassment allegations, but that didn’t mean he left the public eye. O’Reilly started his own digital platform on his website and a syndicated radio show where his unapologetic views are still widely heard. Bill O’Reilly’s radio show, like his video series on his website, is also titled No Spin News. Another polarising figure, Tucker Carlson took over from O’Reilly after the latter left Fox News in 2017.
