From The New York Times, I'm Michael Barbaro. This is The Daily.

Today, Fox News' biggest star, Bill O'Reilly, is out of a job two and a half weeks after a

time's investigation into allegations of sexual harassment. Knowing about those allegations, Fox had just renewed O'Reilly's contract.

So what happened that led to this?

It's Thursday, April 20th.

Give me a link. We just have something big that we're trying to confirm.

So we just need a little bit of time to do that. Is that okay?

Okay, thanks.

So it's 245. We're in the newsroom on the second floor where the business section is.

And I'm standing in front of the media group, which is completely craze right now.

And every single reporter here is working on the same story, which is that Bill O'Reilly has just been fired from Fox News,

which was pretty much unthinkable until a few hours ago.

And trying to get the attention of the reporter who's most responsible, perhaps responsible for that happening.

And that's Emily Steele, who is right now on the phone talking to her sources about this and would like me to be at a reasonable distance from her.

While she does that, Anna Migra talked to her about what changed and why Bill O'Reilly is no longer working for Fox News.

But in the meantime, Bill O'Reilly began his career in television in the 1970s as a local news reporter.

Dallas, Texas, 16 years ago, the last moments of President John F. Kennedy's life.

Then, hello, I'm Bill O'Reilly. Every weekday at 6 o'clock, inside edition will give you an inside look at the people in places that are making headlines today.

He worked his way up to the tabloid news show inside edition. And then eventually.

And how political correctness is harming America. That is a subject of this evening's talking points memo.

He became the face of a brand new network, Fox News, where millions tuned in for his promotion of traditional values and hardline conservatism.

Do I factor his on tonight?
