I think FOX just wants him to lay low for awhile. He makes too much money for them to ditch him entirely.

Murdock Jr wants him gone. Murdock Sr wants his moneymaker to stay.

Perhaps this is a test to see if ratings go up or down while he's gone. A father/son wager.

I can believe it is a test to see if his ratings are worth the bad PR. FAUX Nooz makes a lot of money just from how many people watch during the hour that O'Reilly is on even if there was no advertising revenue. I heard someone estimate that they get about $2 per subscriber from every cable company that pays to distribute the channel.

NPR said today he brings in 9 figures. I don't know if that's profit or just ad sales.
