Assembling a “panel” of people giving opinions in not news.

Fox has very little factual information to give.

Fox isn’t a news channel.

Fox is a social commentary channel.

My wishful thinking is that Ailes would start a new conservative network and steal talent from Fox.

My issue with Juan is simply this—I refuse to listen to lies/propaganda—whether they are on TV or in the real world.

I don’t want to debate them, I don’t want to refute them, I want nothing to do with them.

“Fair and balanced” with one person lying does not interest me.

Only an idiot would tamper with Fox News by turning it into a clone of the other networks. Viewership would plummet. The huge success of Fox News isn’t from who is running it, but that it represents the only alternative to the propaganda networks.

I am not in “Rio Lynda” but I am close enough to know
that:

a) The name of the town is Rio Linda.

b) The Rio Linda that Rush knew in the mid 1980s is
most definitely not the same town today. And, even the
Rio Linda he describes was never very different than
semi-rural communities across America, complete with
some unfunctioning cars on concrete blocks in the front
yards.

Nothing wrong with having some fun with long standing
reputations but understanding the underlying reality
is a good thing too.

I don’t like Trump either, but I will vote for him.

This year is very much like 1968. Very few people (myself included) "liked" Nixon, but the alternative was unthinkable!

The RINOs already did a good enough job of destroying it.

Ain’t much “talent” at the “News” channel worth a damn. Guilfoyle and Tucker Carlson are a few of the “regulars” i would like to see move over to the Business channel permanently.

Kimberley Guilfoyle and Tucker Carlson are WAY too smart for the stupid shows they are currently featured on. Many “contributors” like Ralph Peters, Monica Crowley, Ebony Williams, etc. belong over at the Business channel as well.

And Trish Regan at FBN is 500 times more appealing than that harpy Megyn Kelly.

The people you cite are openly speaking for Trump now that the choice is clear. IMO its time for O’Reily to do the same. BTW, I agree with you about their abilities, I hope they survive the hard times that are coming.

But I wonder, what happened to Andrea Tantaros? She was backing Trump, (or at least coming to his defense) and wrote a book about current problems with feminism and now where is she?

And what is this concept of a gag order? She is still on the payroll but cannot do an interview?

I have watched a lot of Fox (and Fox Business which is better) but I fear that the changes — Murdoc giving away and Ailes out. Where are they headed?

Tantaros won’t be coming back. I’m guessing she is getting paid by Fox until her contract expires. If she violates the terms of her contract she risks loss of pay in addition to a lawsuit.

...by no means a stroke of genius; it was actually a stroke of the blazingly obvious. Why not create a cable news network that was explicitly not another Democrat propaganda machine and directly target the 50 percent of Americans the rest of the media either ignores or treats like dirt?

Even the New York Times is starting to 'get it'...

We’ll see what happens. FOX News is one of my click & go places. They lost a lot of cred, mostly just entertainment factor now, with snippets of red meat. Web sourcing most of my info these days. Too bad, they could have been in a solid position.

I'm pinging my list to your *EXCELLENT* post, you have said it well and said it perfectly.

In a perfect world, someone would sneak up behind that doddering old doofus Rupert Murdoch and give him a major league wedgie in his Depends(c).

BRAVO & BUMP!!!

Agree.

FoxBiz is all we have left, as far as major cable news outlets go.

Ailes himself set this self-immolation in motion with all his liberal hires. Within a year FNC will be like the rest.

Yes, I can see that this may be the plan. But the question is still Why?

Andrea, in her book, is not adverse to speaking up. I wonder how much money she would lose to get her message out.

Fox isn’t really conservative but it isn’t a DNC organ like the others.

If they go left, the ratings will tank.
