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

As someone without TV since 1997, I’ve seen them as left for about a decade now. They are just not as “left” as the other clown networks.

But it appears they’ve come out of the closet.

Unfortunately here in SoCal Spectrum doesn’t give that channel so will just watch it online..Fox News has been going left for a while but firing O Reilly based on BS accusations just shows how far they are willing to go to appease the progressive left..what next, some woman coming forward to say that Sean Hannity touched her boob..ya know its coming..anytime you see Gloria Allred and her whore daughter on TV just show you are being played

They’ve made enough money off of rube conservatives by now. So they can shift left and party hardy with their chums in Manhattan and in DC.

I guess my angle is this...

Harassment - one word not two ;) is very serious and with Bill and Algis it shows a pattern. Fine they settle the cases, they fire some of people. Move on, everyone behave.

But why if you are #1 on Cable news for a reason do you purposely turn left?

You replace Bill with the next up and coming, like Jesse Waters or Tucker or Bowling. Fox has done well with a Farm Team concept to develop talent.You don’t go find the next biased Wolf Bitzer or Don Lemon. Nobody will watch. Why kill your formula? Stupid is as stupid does.

I believe in free market of ideas and business. I have a hard time buying that this is a big “Ministry Of Truth” dreaded Left Wing Conspiracy, that we have to kill Fox News as they are the Trump mouth piece blah blah blah.

That Left Wing bias doesn’t sell and we all know it.

My other question... Will Bill sue them for wrongful termination? If he fights an accuser and wins, he has a case as any other settlement has a no admission of guilt clause. He might have a clause in his contract that says they can dump him at will. Yea advertisers might have been dumping Bill, but he still had plenty of commercials during his hour of TV. More than I cared to watch. So I saw no effect. Advertisers see ratings and demographics.

Fox had a perfectly good opportunity to settle this amicably.

Some 95% of the personal woe in this world is self-induced.

I cut the cable four years ago and only stream shows and broadcast tv over the internet to the roku. Don’t get Fox News and don’t miss it.

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

Join me in using the OFF button.

BOR has no case as Fox will pay him until the end of his current contract which I believe expires this year.

While it is not necessarily true that O'Reilly's firing was a set-up, and that Fox is veering left, it could be true regardless of what it will mean in lost viewers. Never underestimate the stupidity of companies who put their political beliefs ahead of profit. We've seen a slew of left-leaning companies do stupid things over the past couple of years (Target and the bathroom thing, Starbucks vowing to hire "10,000 immigrants", the Grubhub CEO and that Spice Co. CEO saying that they didn't even want customers who voted for Trump, et al). Sure, it would be stupid of the younger Murdochs to piss on their base, but it doesn't mean they won't. Rich arrogant guys think they know everything, particularly libs.

How many lefties will leave MSNBC for the new Fox? How many of their remaining decent Americans will stay with Fox if they become Hillary cheerleaders? I wonder how profitable a business decision this will be in the long run.

“Join me in using the OFF button.”

Yeah, I just walked into our kitchen and saw that “Outnmbered’s” new leftist is Marie Barf, who was Obola’s “spokesperson” at the State Department. Fox News days are numbered now with the Murdock “boys” in charge.

I join you in the FOX turn off. Let the two Murdoch brats and their wives enjoy watching the destruction of FOX alone. I don’t care how rich you are failure is a bitch.

Dig down. I´ll bet you find SOROS money at the bottom of this. It fits his game plan and style.

Ratings aside, I can make a case Fox is now more conservative. O' Reilly was clearly centrist. Tucker or Boling are conservative.
