In the wake of today’s surprise news that Greta Van Susteren had exited Fox News Channel effective immediately, chatter turned to whether it might be the start of a “key man” exodus. Like Van Susteren, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Bret Baier have “key man” clauses in their contracts that allow them to leave if Fox News chief Roger Ailes departed. Van Susteren very publicly expressed her support for Ailes after Carlson filed her suit, for which Van Susteren took heat in some quarters. But other Key Man club members did as well. Hannity, for instance, wondered, via Twitter: “So...

Good evening, I’m still reporting on Fox News. After seemingly supportive of Donald Trump early on in his presidential primary campaign, the Fox News team who moderated the 1st Republican presidential debate in Cleveland a little over a year ago on Aug. 6, 2015, are now facing everlasting journalistic humiliation in light of new revelations in New York Magazine. It turns out that Fox News news hosts, Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace and Brett Baier gave in to orders from Fox owner Rupert Murdoch to ambush Trump to drive him out of the race.

Thanks to Joe Farah of WND, we have this little jem about Shepherd Smith – the uber liberal plant deep in the Fox News scene, now essentially stumping for Hillary Clinton on air. On Friday, Nov. 17, 2000, during the “Hanging Chad” election recount in Florida, Smith was arrested and charged with a felony for allegedly driving his car into another reporter who was standing in a parking space she was attempting to save for a friend. According to WND’s coverage of July 9, 2001: “The victim, freelance journalist Maureen Walsh of Tallahassee, was hospitalized and released later the same...

Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson secretly recorded inappropriate statements made by former Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, New York Magazine reported Friday. Carlson recorded conversations with Ailes for at least a year and captured "numerous incidents" of harassment on her phone, the report said. "I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago, and then you'd be good and better and I'd be good and better," one recording of Ailes speaking to Carlson reportedly says. "Sometimes problems are easier to solve that way," Ailes, 76, allegedly also told Carlson, 50, at...

I wonder when it'll sink in at Fox that Megyn Kelly was successfully boycotted.

Shepard Smith who has his head 10 miles up Hillary's a** is so excited about the Democratic Convention as he trashes Trump about his promise to respond to the needs of the Vets (isn't Trump so silly and dumb per Smith?), and he is very excited about Bill Clinton who will likely bring down the house. Boy what a Party atmosphere from this POS. What a magic moment. What do you think of Shep's coverage? Isn't is so... well, like a soft toy!

Less than a year ago, Megyn Kelly sat down for an interview with Charlie Rose, and called her Fox News boss Roger Ailes a 'mentor' and a 'friend'. But it appears that the network's rising star anchor has been working behind the scenes to ensure his exit from the company. A source who spoke with the New York Magazine says that Kelly convinced at least one other women to speak out against Ailes, after lawyers were brought in to investigate claims that the 76-year-old media executive sexually harassed employees.
