Bill O'Reilly was a Fox News host from its 1996 launch until he was fired in 2017 following reports that he and the network's parent company 21st Century Fox paid millions of dollars in secret settlements for his sexual harassment of women who worked on his show. Before he left Fox, he was also exposed for lying about his previous reporting experience in his books, and now he has his own subscription-based website and podcast where he opines on current events.
