People seem to be missing the point.
You cannot “salvage” Fox News. It is done. The majority of their staff and news directors could and would work for CNN or MSNBC.
They inhabit the same bubble the rest of the media does. People confuse the politics of the network with the opinion personalities. They have some good ones. However, their “news” bureau folks are just as liberal as the rest of the MSM. Those running the network are leftist.
Fox wants a PR firm to see how they can keep “fooling” half the country. They are not changing, they just want to try and reset what has been hidden all along.
...and if you could salvage Fox, would you trust it? It is simply gone.
Yep, sadly though, they may very well succeed...
Roger Ailes concept of a news channel that would express a more conservative point of view was genius. It was refreshing.
Over time Fox changed to represent the closed minded views of the other left wing media companies. Chris Stirewalt, Arnon Mishkin, Chris Wallace, and Sandra Smith are some examples.
Fox chose its path, discarded and disparaged the views of the people who brought them to the proverbial dance and are now reaping the whirlwind they created. No amount of personnel changes can rescue them from their ratings hell.
If FOXNews would like to keep the Tucker, Hannity and Laura viewers (who aren't ready to switch quite yet) they need to drop the liberal scroll under the show.
It's offensive - and the last thing FOX needs right now is another control freak 'liberal' so stupid they think 'if only conservatives heard our side they would switch'... We hear the liberal side in TV ads, movies, newspapers, magazines in doctor's offices, billboards, Sunday Morning Cartoons, TV 'entertainment shows', songs, Hollywood big shots, our kid's teachers etc etc etc. - really it's almost impossible to tune of the nose-in-the=air liberal bullies... It's like listening to bad elevator music off and on all day...
We know your liberal side, We reject it. If you FOX thugs try to force it on us while we're watching a show or two we we'll all eventually leave and with hard feelings.
