Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly has come roaring back with his hit new radio show and is putting “haters on the far-Left” on notice.
O’Reilly was canceled by Fox News following a smear campaign by the liberal media in 2017.
However, O’Reilly is now getting the last laugh on his critics after forging a successful career outside of the mainstream media.
The conservative commentator has been building a new media empire for the last five years with a subscription site, radio, podcasting, streaming video, and his best-selling book’s in the Killing series.
It paid off because his overall audience today exceeds what he had at Fox News.
“I don’t really see myself as a victim. That’s No. 1,” he told Breitbart News.
He added that he has no bad blood with Fox News because “they lived up to their contractual obligations.”
“I don’t have to answer to anyone at all about anything,” he said.
“That was such a release after 45 years in corporate America — not that corporate America was terrible to me.
“I amassed a lot of money and became very famous so I can’t be whining about it.”
“The loons who spent millions of dollars trying to destroy me, we know who they are.
“There will be reckoning but it will be on my time.
“I think it’s important to me to be fair.
“There are a lot of haters on the far-Left. I know them better than most — the New York Times, Huffington Post, The Daily Beast.
‘They hate traditional, conservative people. No two sides to that.
“So when the right does the same thing — I’m supposed to ignore that? I’d be a hypocrite.
“I don’t do ideological broadcasting. The liars on the left painted me that way,” he said.
According to Breitbart:
O’Reilly said he recently signed a two-year extension with 77 WABC radio in New York, where he has a daily evening show. His 9 p.m. show is ranked No.1 in the hour across all of New York radio in the 12 and older demographic.
He also beats his talk-radio competition at WOR, scoring a 7.8 share versus WOR’s .9 share in the same hour.
Overall, O’Reilly can be heard on 300 radio stations nationwide, reaching more than 2.4 million people per month.
His podcast has more than 10 million monthly downloads, while his YouTube, Facebook, and The First TV streaming presence garner 10 million monthly views.
He also recently signed a deal with Vidgo, one of the newest streaming TV services.
