With Bill O’Reilly Out, Fox Rivals See a Chance to Move In
New York Times ^ | APRIL 23, 2017 | John Koblin

Posted on 04/24/2017 1:24:27 PM PDT by detective

Starting this week, a new era for prime-time cable news begins.

Tucker Carlson will assume Fox News’s 8 p.m. time slot on Monday, the first time in nearly two decades that Bill O’Reilly will not be kicking off Fox News’s prime-time lineup.

And Fox’s competitors are taking notice.

Mr. O’Reilly’s dismissal amounts to an enormous shift in cable news, and the TV industry was ablaze with talk late last week whether the move has the potential to open up a cable news war that for more than a decade has been dominated by Fox News.

This is the real reason for all the media attention to the false accusations against O'Reilly.

CNN and MSNBC see opportunities they have never seen before.

O'Reilly dominated the cable ratings as seen in the article.

New false accusations against Sean Hannity are the next step in the plan.

The opportunity is for a conservative news network, either an existing one or one yet to start.

Fox News viewers aren't going to watch the leftist vomit on CNN or MSNBC.

They see an opportunity for more liberal, left-wing, Demo party BS? That’s a winning formula of course /s.

I can’t believe that Sharia Media is going to change.

Exactly; however, NOBODY who watched O’Reilly is now going to watch CNN nor MSNBC!

One America News. Now I see Tucker has been moved to 8.00pm and has that cross dressing freak on his show. Good grief.

The liberal, pinhead, pinko Murdochs have driven a stake into the heart of the Fox network. The Death watch has begun. Good job, Rupert...letting your kiddies ruin a perfectly good and profitable business. MORONS!

R.I.P. Fox...it was great while it lasted.

Fox must pay respects to the LGBTQP freaks.

Any truth to the comments that O’Reilly will/might end up on OAN?

This is why democrats can never figure things out. Do they really think people that liked O’Reilly will switch to MSNBC or CNN? Chances are they like O’Reilly for what he said, if other channels aren’t saying something similar, they will likely watch re-runs. I doubt they will switch to watch leftist tripe.

Have broken the hold. I can see what is happening. The complicit MSM is going full bore against Trump. I get my news from reliable sources.

This was obviously managed. My hope is it backfires. O’Reilly was good for Fox News, but he was more populist than conservative. I like Tucker and like that he gets liberals on his show for every one to see their idiocy.

Maybe they will find tucker harder than they think. And MSNBC? You can hardly watch that network without laughing.

Amidst the O’Reilly downfall, we have Tucker taking his place, starting off with an interview of a transgender. Is Fox trying to commit suicide?

Bruce Jenner is a freak for sure. But I’m going to tune in tonight to see how Tucker handles him. I wonder if Tucker will bring up the car crash in which that elderly woman died. This happened just a couple years ago, just before Bruce did that Vanity Fare spread.

Any man can be made to look like a woman with an army of cosmetologists, but that does not make one a real woman. So sad. Bruce is only fooling himself.
