No wonder Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump and Roger Ailes are rich.

Happy with this...better than having to catch him on someone’s show.

He’s hired: Donald Trump to join ‘Fox and Friends’

Not exactly hired...supposidly, he's not getting paid.

Am I the only one who preferred FNC in its outsider, Young Turk, make-our-own-stars mode?

Beyond the loony lefty politics of the network morning shows (why did the Weather Channel sell out and bring in Al Roker when so many of us fled his original NBC home? It’s not as if they were short of weather forecasters) they were and are a load of plugfests with live commercials masquerading as interviews. I regret using such a coarse term but industry insiders call this star******g and FNC seems to have embraced this approach to its detriment.

Perhaps his ratings on BOR's show went over the top and Fox snapped him up. They'll let Trump make innocuous weekly appearances until he decides to run, or not.

If he doesn't run, Fox can then replace BOR with The Donald. (Wishful thinking.)

Interesting.
With Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee all making moves indicating they may run for president, their common employer is facing a question that hasn’t been asked before: How does a news organization cover White House hopefuls when so many are on the payroll? link
Fox News Channel suspended the contracts of Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum as it conflicted with their political aspirations. Did Trump change his mind regarding his political aspirations? Isn't it a bit strange that Fox continues it's reliance on other Republicans with political aspirations - especially those, like Trump who present as a force for the dems to reckon with? Is it possible that the serious contenders are being set up for some sort of legal battle regarding their ties to Fox and campaign contribution in terms of value of televised exposure?

I thought this was an April Fools article....until I Googled it.

I never used to like Trump but honestly find his honesty and outspokenness refreshing.

Let’s hope others learn that that is what people want.

Not the tired BS party lines.

Murdoch and Ailes have gone senile.
