FOX News keeps this pig on the air because he brings in ad revenue.Mercedes-Benz pulls ads from The O'Reilly Factor after sexual harassment allegations.
In the wake of a report from The New York Times regarding the sexual harassment of female employees by cable news host Bill O'Reilly, Mercedes-Benz has pulled advertising from his Fox News show, The O'Reilly Factor.
According to CNN Money, Mercedes explained that the advertisements were "reassigned" amid the controversy, and that the allegations are "disturbing" and don't reflect the automaker's view of the importance of women.
Five cases totaling roughly $13 million have been settled regarding sexual harassment or verbal abuse by O'Reilly, according to The Times.
His show has been on air for nearly 20 years and is one of the most profitable shows on Fox News.
The show generated $446 million in ad revenue between 2014 and 2016.
While Mercedes-Benz may be the first company to pull ads, it may not be the last.
Lexus also currently has ads airing during the show, and told CNN Money that it will monitor and evaluate the situation as it develops.
If he starts losing sponsors, that will change.
He whines that he's a target for lawsuits because he's a prominent person.
There are many other prominent people who have never been accused of sexual harassment.
