Maybe Ailes can Go to OAN, get some investors to pump some money
into it and make it a truly national network.
Bring in fresh new talent.

I could see Ailes and Trump starting their new media empire like Berlusconi. Too much BS in mainstream media
“They’re not just going to leave without a plan,” the expert says.
That plan would be equity in the new venture.
It is my opinion the Murdoch’s are lefties, but they know the business, and thus Ailes tenure with Fox.
If Ailes is out then I’d believe perhaps a setup to make it appear (something Democrats/the left are very adept at) as something other than what it is.
I believe Ailes is out, and perhaps some of his people as well, because Hillary is struggling, and FOX is needed to come to the rescue by eliminating the cheerleading for her opposition, and or also to support her campaign.
It’s all leftist politics. It’s all about Hillary.
One of the follow on headlines was something about The End of Conservative Broadcasting.
Riiiight.
Fox hasn’t been Conservative since ‘08 (...I’m being really charitable with that late date) and all this deal did was validate my decision to drop cable then.
Too much money involved in more ways than one. The various talents working at FNC surely have contractural obligations; and perhaps non-compete clauses preventing them from going somewhere else for some stated time period.
But a really big obstacle is the fact that while Ailes leaves with a reported $40 LARGE, OReilly, Hannity, et al would leave with nothing beyond what they’ve invested from past paychecks, and a probable restriction from working for a competitor for several years.
My expert says, bluntly, “This is the work of Lachlan Murdoch. He’s been waiting for this.” Lachlan was literally driven out of town — back to Australia– by Ailes years ago. And Megyn Kelly’s perfidy? “She didn’t feel supported by Ailes during the Trump fighting this year.”
And that’s the name of that tune.
They could probably be sued for failing to perform without a good reason (illness, etc). I’m sure their contracts probably have that kind of clause.
I am certain it is just a coincidence that the charges against Ailes arise from Carlson and Kelly immediately after they didn’t get what they wanted.
