Fox must be banking on people having short attention spans and that they’ll be back watching again after all the dust settles. If questioned, they’ll just say there was a problem with the satellite feed and in the old days i could buy that, but there’s no longer any reason to extend them the benefit of the doubt. For when we needed them most here down the stretch to at least play it straight they (the “news” side of FNC) instead sabotaged Trump every chance they got: Wallace at the 1st debate, the fake Fox polls, and of course calling Arizona prematurely are just some of the more blatant things they did.
The old man, Rupert Murdoch, sold the FNC to Disney and his two sons run it now. What really must be understood though, is that the two sons' wives are big Lefties and Hillary supporters and like most wives they control their husbands.
They have made an overt decision to change FNC into CNN Part II.
The news anchors and show hosts have new marching orders and that is to push the narrative of the Left and dump on Trump.
Anybody who doesn't comply, will be fired or can leave but they all have non-compete clauses inter contracts so those who stay and don't like the new corporate policy, are doing so under duress.
I'm sure some are planning their escape but notice that when Bill O'Reilly left, he didn't surface again for some time. Eric Bolling hasn't surfaced again yet. All that are left are Hannity, Tucker, Laura, and Pirro. Lesser so, Watters and Gutfeld.
They can probably all survive without the money for a while but can they survive being out of the limelight for that long? And where would they go? What news channels are left?
Look what happened to The Drudge Report. They have gone to the dark side, never to return.
Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have all decided to heavily censor the conservative members. There is a big effort now on Facebook to leave and go to another platform that is more conservative friendly.
To quote a Bob Dylan classic, "The times they are a changin'....."
And that includes the Fox New Channel.
