lineup, moving Tucker Carlson from 9 p.m. to Mr. O’Reilly’s 8 p.m. slot.
“He could be innocent,” he added, “but why did he resign or whatever?”
In cities across the country — and even under the same roof — Mr. O’Reilly’s fans have had mixed reactions to his ouster amid revelations

He had considered Mr. O’Reilly a hero, he said, and was unwilling to invest time and energy on another television personality — and on Fox News.
