Trump is such a whiny baby. That’s why he didn’t run for Mayor of New York after announcing that he was going to and creating a big media stir...he couldn’t take the heat.

Buh’bye, Donald.

You’re so silly. Trump sure is taking the heat now, isn’t he. Geez, can’t take the heat. That’s all he HAS been taking is heat. Why don’t you just stuff your dislike of Trump far down in your throat and take it elsewhere other than polluting the Trump threads with inane comments. You’re not only in the wrong camp, you’ve got about 90 percent of FR against you. But some people enjoy swimming upstream, and you must be one of them.

Tucker isn’t gone. Don’t know where this Freeper is getting misinformation from, but Tucker is still strongly on Fox. He might be on vacation though. This is the time of the year when Fox talking heads all rotate going on vacation. Getting it out of the way so they will be fully staffed in the Fall when the political landscape is going to get hot and heavy this year. Although I just saw Tucker last weekend on his Fox & Friends weekend show.

FNC is in the tank for the establishment.

This article appears to be closer to the truth of the matter, though (if one reads carefully) the author does not sound like any friend of Trump, Fox, or conservatives.

Thanks for the article. It was interesting, and probably some of it true. I loved the last lines in the article:

“to appease the conservative base — a.k.a. Fox viewers — Ailes has set a dangerous precedent. The message is clear: Fox reports, but the audience decides.”

A dangerous precedent on Ailes’ part. What a joke. of course the audience decides. Programs live and die by the ratings. Ailes knows that well; the author of this article, not so much.

Tucker Carlson’s still around FOXNews - just not on the weekly morning show. He’s on Sunday mornings...

The weekly FOX morning show is waaaaay too much fluff now. Morning Joe’s been doing a nice job covering the email scandal - and they’ve had thoughtful guests. It’s the better choice.

Tucker used to be on F&F on both Saturday and Sunday. He was the one I really listened to. He seemed to be saying what I was thinking.

Actually, I’m surprised he’s still there. Some of the stuff he would comment on would be the more conservative viewpoint.

Sorry, but MSNBC will never be on my TV.
I can get better information from my local TV stations.

What burns me up is that I turn Fox and Friends on in the morning, hot coffee in hand, expecting to get hard, up-to-the-minute news....and finding that now F & F is becoming more and more a pile of silly fluff during the early hours.

Outdoor barbeques, how to turn your back yard into an outdoor movie theater with a blanket and lantern, atrocious band "concerts" grinding hard metal sounds in your early morning ears.......all gripping stuff...NOT.

Therefore, I have no choice but to roll my eyes skyward, ask for forgiveness and flip over to the loathsome CNN for some real morning news and timely interviews. I hate to even admit I'm now watching a network I've barely watched during the decades since its inception, but Fox is giving me no choice.

IMO, the liberal/lefty Murdoch sons are already running FNN into the ground. And, furthermore, I really don't think the very conservative, insightful Tucker has a chance of remaining with the network. Just a reasoned hunch on my part. We'll see.

It’s not that I object to some fluff... I mean it is morning after all... It’s that it’s ALL fluff.

I’ll check out CNN... Yikes, it’s even hard to type that...

Yes!! Bring back Beckel! When I see/hear Rivera, the channel is turned. Whoraldo is like Kelly-— too full of themselves. They have ruined Fox — or the FNC we once knew.
