Fox News Takes Sharp Left Turn
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/20/17 | Judi McLeod

Posted on 04/20/2017 9:37:24 AM PDT by Sean_Anthony

Here’s hoping that all leftover, non-progressive heterosexuals at Fox are lawyered up because being forced into the long-running narrative of get-even feminist colleagues, their contracts can’t be counted on to trump their vulnerability

Now that the Murdochs have liberated-by-liberalizing Fox News, welcome to living in Dry Gulch, USA.

“Visiting the quaint Old West community of Dry Gulch, Jimmy quickly runs afoul of town bully Gunnar Flinch, who has an eye for Lois. Not necessarily a job for Superman, who nonetheless provides a still timely lesson on bullying.”

I tend to agree with you that Fox won’t be “fundamentally transforming” their winning formula...but they will be tinkering at the edges to improve it. The Murdochs are, first and foremost, business people. Yeah, they have a Leftward bent (or so it seems), but that didn’t stop him from hiring Roger Ailes and making Fox synomymous with conservative.

As to BOR suing Fox, it is my understanding (from a news report...and we all know how reliable those are) that they “mutually agreed” to him being taken off of the air. If they did, there will be no suit. Even if they didn’t, no one here knows the terms of his contract - he may not have a leg to stand on in this situation. Regardless, he won’t be on any street corners with a cup any time soon.

I’m personally very sick and tired of the accusations of “sexual harassment” that always get hurled around. Maybe it is true, maybe not - but in our society, once the mere accusation is out there the guilt is assumed. Women KNOW that, particularly smart ones that just want to extort a few million from a wealthy network and/or TV star. Note: it only works on decent people, as the indecent ones simply don’t care about the effect on themselves or their family. This is exactly why Trump doesn’t settle suits (not most of the time, anyway, and not before he’s made someone spend a WHOLE lot larger percentage of their net worth on lawyers than he does) - because someone else will come looking for you once you have that reputation. BOR and Fox apparently settled about $13 million worth of similar cases in the past...so a new one was pretty much inevitable.

Now this…

James Murdoch’s wife Kathryn Murdoch is an outspoken leftist who works for the Clinton Climate Initiative.

Kathryn Murdoch hates Donald Trump and regularly trashes the president on Twitter.

I deleted all of my DVR record timers for FNC shows except Hannity.

FNC is dead, they just don’t know it yet. No matter what they do, the Progs who lap up the lies as CNN and MSNBC will NEVER watch FNC. Ever. And the folks who USED to watch FNC won’t ever come back. Ever.

Rupert’s idiot sons have destroyed what their dad built.

I’m going to give OAN a try now that they’re being carried by DirecTV.

My remote took a turn to the OFF button and I won’t be watching FNC. Join me in using the OFF button.

Way ahead of you. Quit watching FNC the day they hired Geraldo.

And I am now elated that DirecTV has added One America News to its channel lineup!

It is not just celebrities or CEO types that get accused. It can be mid level managers at Corporations.

1996- My issue started with a Contract IT woman who was a solid employee, then we hired her full time and a year later all hell broke loose.

I had a guy on the team who dropped F-Bombs. He was from NJ and did speak like Tony Soprano. Then people would horse around with Nerf toys, but when the former contract woman got hit with a Nerf ball we were a hostile work environment court case. It got dismissed but not after a couple of trips to court. F-Bombs are a no-no

Yeah they have been driving in the left lane for more than a few years. Without FNF, Hannity and Carlson they are also rans with CNN and PMSNBC. Shep Smith is the biggest blathering idiot on the channel. When they hired Whoraldo I knew the jig was up on fair and balanced and we report, you decide.

Other than FNF, Hannity and Carlson and some of their Saturday morning business shows FNC is spiraling straight into the ground.

Hannity is probably on the schedule for Disgrace-by-Sex-Charges.

I’m just curious. How much are you paid for each hit Canada Free Press gets from Free Republic?

We need to abjure all of our sources so people can't be accused of looking at other web sites. Outside information is just so unacceptable.

In a case like that I’d love to see some judge say, “Women claim that they are equal to men, but then don’t want to take some of the garbage that men routinely dish out to each other. Well, if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Case dismissed, with prejudice, in favor of the defendant.”

Of course, the judge always says that when I have my eyes closed, never in reality.

Fox News has never been “Right-Wing”. It has been centrist at best.

I keep trying OAN, but their audio has an odd quality to it. It is much different than the other news channels. It is especially bad with the audio from the studio, and less so with the on-the-street type reports.

When I have it on in the house, the grating audio is all I can hear, and I have to change it or turn it off.

Anyone else notice this?

It's not about the news source, it's about the OP driving hits to that website, for which he is very likely paid a fee by every advertiser there.

Check his posting history. He has posted a total of five replies in the last two years on this site, three of which were corrections for bad links.

Sean_Anthony is a click farmer, pure and simple. Free Republic is nothing more than a revenue source for him.
