FNC is a cash cow and demolishes all other cable news channels in ratings wars. Why would Murdoch destror a successful business like this by turning it into a failure like CNN?
Time for Ailes to start a new network.
So Fox News is going to try to morph into CNN. What a genius move [/s]. Does Mr. Murdoch imagine that their audience will just remain loyal? Looks like Shepard Smith will be getting a big promotion [barf].
It won’t work and junior is stupid to try it. After decades of mocking it as “faux” news no lefties are going anywhere near it, and having been sabotaged and betrayed the right will turn away in droves.
Say goodnight Gracie...
You are right on target!!! FNC & FBN are toast. Murdoch has allowed his two moron sons destroy the most powerful cable TV networks in the world!!!
However...I fear not ...another “true” conservative Cable TV network will emerge quickly and will become the industry leader within a year or two!!! Rupert Murdoch has killed what he worked so hard to create!!! Go figure!!!
The progressives are authoritarian. The election of Trump has shaken them badly and they are busy eliminating any hint of democracy or a republic.
By positioning Fox slightly to the right of the other networks, he scoops up half the viewing public while all the rest divide the left half among them, each competing for a tiny slice.
It was smart businesswise. By shifting left, though, he now scraps for the same audience as the rest of them while leaving himself open for someone else to shift to the right of him and take his old audience.
Conservatives should all boycott FoxNews now, immediately. Let the Murdoch twits discover that they have destroyed the cash cow. Don’t let them benefit from the entity they have betrayed and don’t deserve.
Actually I think cable television is going away at some point.
Fox in very strong now, but cable is not going to lead forever.
Look for an internet option, to replace it at some point.
“Why Fox News to become more like CNN
“
Because viewer support shows that CNN is the most popular and profitable news operations, so who wouldnt copy their track record of success? If one CNN is popular than why not have two?
/sarc
To be honest, I never really liked the Fox formula, which was to let a “conservative” talking head scream it out with really stupid leftist shills.
I just want a news source that is as unbiased as humanly possible. And that seems to be of no interest to any news agency.
Never watch anyway
I wonder if some other cable company is willing to make a jump into the business right now? If they could pick up Roger Ailes, Bill O’Reilly, and some others as “partners”, as well as a new crew of conservatives, they could probably steal a big chunk of the FOX News audience overnight.
Rupert Murdoch needs to sell!
he’s going to do the “Rural Purge”
Fox takes a quantum leap leftward under the two sons.
Aside from Hannity and Tucker Carlson, Fox News is already like CNN.
I asked on another thread and didn’t get an answer so I’ll ask here. I’ve had DTV since it came into existence. So OAN is on 347. I go to 347 and it says I have to subscribe to something. I ain’t going to subscribe but subscribe to what?
Did/does this happen to anybody else with DirecTV?
If FOX goes liberal they will go out of business, IMO!
I’ve got a new way to get TV news. Washington Journal on CSPAN weekday mornings is variable for its attitude. Some of the hosts are unslanted in their monitoring, others are DC slime. But it sure is interesting to listen to the callers. Some are brain-controlled idiots, for sure. But the majority? Even many who have speaking skills that makes one wonder about their formal education have much more interesting and insightful comments than almost all “newscasters” on other stations.
