Bill O’Reilly Claims Comcast Is Desperately Trying To Shed ‘Hateful’ MSNBC: ‘They’ll Give It to You!’
Bill O’Reilly claimed on Wednesday that Comcast and NBC News were so desperate to shed MSNBC following President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory that they were willing to give it away for free.
On Tuesday, it was reported that Comcast will spin off several cable channels, including MSNBC and CNBC.
Reacting on NewsNation’s Cuomo to the controversial trip that Morning Joe co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski made to repair their relationship with Trump this month, O’Reilly said, “Here’s what happened with Joe and Mika. They were ordered to go to Mar-a-Lago by Comcast, the parent company out of Philadelphia.”
He claimed, “Comcast said, ‘You two, we’re going to have to try to mend some cliche fences, and you two are gonna have to go in there and you’re gonna try to tamp it down,’ because Comcast knew the next day they were going to announce that MSNBC is vapor. That is a huge media story.”
Host Chris Cuomo questioned, “Why is it vapor? Just because they’re spinning it off?”
“There’s no spin-off,” claimed O’Reilly. “Why would you believe what’s being reported? You want the real story here. So they’re uncoupling – their word, Comcast – MSNBC from NBC News. That means MSNBC has no resources at all. None. They’re not gonna be able to pay these people millions of dollars, Rachel Maddow, whatever she’s making.”
He predicted:
NBC News is gonna say, “We don’t want you around.” Why? Because NBC News’ numbers, Lester Holt and the Today Show, are catastrophe because half the country equates NBC News with MSNBC and they won’t watch. So NBC is just really trying to save the mothership of information and they have to throw MSNBC overboard. They’re not putting anything into MSNBC. They want to sell it. So where’s Georgey Soros now? Georgey’s buying radio stations. You can get MSNBC for nothing. They’ll give it to you! They don’t want any more of this. Why? Because it’s hateful, not because it’s so far left. The whole NBC Comcast hierarchy is far left, but it’s hateful. They hate Trump. They hate people who vote for Trump. Everybody knows that.
O’Reilly then said, “And you know what’s next? The View. ABC News are gonna have to cut ties with The View, and you saw that today or yesterday when Sunny Hostin had to read a legal statement in the middle of a segment. The lawyers got in her, in Whoopi Goldberg’s ear, and said, ‘We’re bringing a statement in on the teleprompter.’ She reads it.”
He concluded, “So it is over for these far-left networks. Done. Never coming back, Dracula’s stake in the heart.”
Comcast announced on Wednesday that MSNBC, along with several other networks, would be spun off from the company – sparking concern among MSNBC staffers.
