joining me, susan ferrechio and joe concha. t was hard to imagine fox news would cut ties with bill o'reilly even though he dominated cable news ratings for 15 years. joe: when 50 i advertisers leave and it looks like they are not coming back because media matters would shame those companies out of existence. fox had little choice. you saw them going after beck a few years ago. advertisers fled and the show goes bye-bye. one point that wasn't explored is the fact that foxconn deducted an internal investigation conducted by taken outside firm in the name transparency. we have seenter media organizations do internal investigations and not allow outside investigations. the investigation were swift and the resignations were even swifter. howie: you had the combination of that "new york times" report talking about $13 million in settlements. some paid by him and some paid by fox. advertisers fleeing. susan: he's ridden it aqueue sayings like this in the past, bill o'reilly has. and he's the number one rated cable show. he could have

joe concha. we worked together at fox news. >> not well. everybody kept reynolds. >> that works. of a job because? >> because 50 advertisers, more than, left his show and pulled ads. fox news saw this script playing out over and over again when they tried to add more advertisers, those advertisers because of social media -- it is no longer write a letter and lodge a complaint. everybody has a megaphone now. they are in existence to make sure bill o'reilly never gets back on the air. >> it is not a corporate culture thing. it is a bottom line decision. >> always follow the money in these situations, dave. >> it is interesting. you start to hear the stories from people who would not necessarily expect to either fr hear from. we heard from kristin powers at cnn. a former fox analyst. she tells a detailed story about what happened to her at fox news with bill o'reilly. listen to this. >> i think it is stunning because bill o'reilly was fox news. he had so much power there and was unthinkable he would ever leave accept on his terms. i did his show regularly. i thought about an inciden

howie: joe concha, nice to see you in person. hell freezes over.snbc gives a show to a conservative, and "the simpsons" take a whack at the white house. growing up, we were german. we danced in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen. when i first got on ancestry i was really surprised that i wasn't finding all of these germans in my tree. i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna. the big surprise was we're not german at all. 52% of my dna comes from scotland and ireland. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt. ancestry has many paths to discovering your story. get started for free at ancestry.com. no one burns on my watch! try alka seltzer heartburn relief chews. they work fast and don't taste chalky. mmmmm...amazing. i have heartburn. alka seltzer heartburn relief chews. enjoy the relief. howie: for the first time in many years the network dominated by liberal commend day towards is giving a conservative a hosting move. gail king went on vacation with barack obama. the optics are awful for journalists who interviewed the bawms when
