Big Changes Imminent at Fox News
American Thinker ^ | August 16,2017 | Peter Barry Chowka

Posted on 08/16/2017 7:54:31 AM PDT by Hojczyk

On Monday, August 14, Matt Drudge let the cat out of the bag, as he occasionally does (remember the Lewinsky scandal?), with an enigmatic tweet that congratulated veteran radio and TV talk host Laura Ingraham on her move to FNC prime time this fall. This tantalizing tweet was followed in short order by reports in other media advancing long simmering speculation that the FNC prime-time schedule will soon be changed

However, in an exclusive being reported here, on Tuesday, August 15, one of my reliable sources said with "1,000% certainty" that Fox News management wants Sean Hannity for the all-important 9 P.M. hour. "That's the most likely scenario" of the changes being discussed, the source added.

While no contracts have been signed and no final decisions have been made, it appears as of this writing that the fall 2017 FNC prime-time schedule will most likely be Tucker Carlson Tonight at 8, Hannity at 9, and (possibly if not probably) a new program hosted by Laura Ingraham at 10. In any case, it looks as if The Five will be returning to its former 5 P.M. slot. If this information holds true, the lead story today is that Sean Hannity will soon be going head to head against MSNBC's Rachel Maddow in a battle of the cable TV news titans.

Hannity does some excellent things, but I just can’t watch him. Likewise, Carlson ideologically is very good, but allowing the lefties to spew so much not acceptable.

I just can’t watch Faux at all anymore.

I like the concept: Tucker, then Hannity, then Laura. I miss Greta and I miss O’Reilly. But, old man time would eventually have proved persuasive. I also think Megyn made a bad mistake leaving Fox. She had a lot more control of her time slot on Fox News and was part of Fox’s power team when it came to the election cycle.

I refuse to endorse Laura Ingraham’s pretended defense of Trump, because its always couched in little comments that make her sound like she’s ultimately agreeing with the leftist narrative.

It’s really hideous - talk about “filler”!
And much worse w/o Eric Bolling.

Yep, it will be the first pro-right move by the channel since Tucker was brought in. Meanwhile it has beensloshing to the left at every other opportunity. Tucker, Sean and Laura would actually be a more conservative primetime lineup than the network has ever had.

You must mean that show Strange Inheritance with Jamie Colby. I think Fox is trying to get rid of her and putting her on that crap show is the way to do it. I never see her on as a host of other news shows anymore on Fox like I used to.

Wasn’t Jess Waters originally Bill O Reilly’s executive producer?

Fox has already moved from centrist/middle of the road to leaning left.
Special report is typically balanced 2 Trump haters to one defender.

Today (Wed)
1 The news is following the MSM script that Trump is a Nazi enabler

2. I heard a supposed News person say the Cory Gardner’s Town Halls were reflective of the public opinion in the state, when it clear, to everyone in the state that they are being targeted and flooded by leftist agitators(the videos show most of the audience waving pre-printed signs and engaging in profane and disruptive attempts to shout
down the Senator, which are all part of the Soros financed script)

3. Shep [need I say more]

I fear that next they will fire Hanity, keep Tucker for a bit as token conservative, and then fill the remaining prime time slots with Leftist apologists.

Remember the truth, which obviously Maria and Lee Carter have not got a clue as to what it is, “IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO”.

McAuliffe simply planned and had the police unprepared, had the police chief back off and the extreme racists left wing and right wing nutcase haters went to war with each other, with the fill blessing and assistance of Democrat Governor, Terry McAuliffe and his goons, the Mayor and the racist Assistant Mayor.

Tucker / Sean / Laura sounds good.

Now fire Shepard Smith.

Hannity at 10 is too late for me. The Five is pathetic. Tucker is great. I like his monologues but needs to keep debates with Left Wing Nuts to a minimum if not zero. Even if he “wins” the debate, I do not want to hear their nonsense and turn off.

Well that’s good news. “The Five” didn’t “belong” at the 9 pm slot, it will probably “work” again at the 5 slot. I called that one when it happened.

The Specialists has the dumbest premise of all time.

Plus, Ebony is a bigoted ditz, though her co-host Ivory can communicate a few interesting things at times.

“Fire Shep, Kat Timpf and Eboni.”

You have that right.
