The tectonic plates of cable news ratings are shifting, as Fox News struggles to recover from sexual harassment scandals and the departure of its most popular host, Bill O'Reilly.

As my Mama would have said: “They done it to themselves.”
Good idea. Or a nationally syndicated public access show.
Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly set a popular center right focus for FNC. Their loss has been a very serious blow to FNC. However, it seems likely that they were guilty of repeated sexual harassment, so it is difficult to blame others like the Murdoch sons for their removal.
Faux News was wrecked long ago
You have it about right!
The Murdoch brothers are real sharp tycoons:
Bringing back Bob Beckle
Booting Roger Ailes
Hiring Marie Harf
Running Bill O’Reilly off
Maybe they should hire Chelsea Clinton.
Or better yet - Hillary Clinton.
Or even better, Moochie Obama.
try One America News
A seriously fabulous idea.
Whether or not that happens, would be good to give OANN eyeballs.
Faux made their bed now they can lay in the fleas.
Not really. Still ahead of everyone else. Bill wasn’t that conservative and didn’t like the label. He was centrist. He despised the left but also gave plenty of ammo for true conservatives to not like. Losing him is not as bad as they make it out to be.
BOR is a spinning pinhead looking out for hisself.
Yes it is. Just as a picture is worth a thousand words, a talking head is better than a hundred articles.
Even if it’s just: “OK, here’s a summary of the MSMs lies today.” Just the facts, no trying to tell people what to think. It would be so refreshing, it might work on Roku.
The collapse coincides with their turn to the left.
One America News is dry without guests arguing but trying to be just straight news with facts. It is also repetitive but isn’t news 24/7 repetitive with the same information every half hour?
Good. When companies do stupid things, they’re supposed to fail.

I seriously doubt people are staying away because of Bill O’Reilly’s “sex scandals”. More likely, ratings dropped because FOX caved to a liberal organized sponsor boycott, and the Murdoch brats trying to make the network more liberal. They’re going to work themselves right out of a network, because another leftist media outlet is NOT needed; there’s already a preponderance of those.
Aside from Hannity, Fox News has become unwatchable crap
I don’t think the sexual harassment crap has one thing to do with it. It’s the programming. I have turned off Fox completely. Why would I want to watch these people bash and trash my President day after day? Not gonna do it. I read most of my news and recently have been watching OAN.
Fox is dead to me.
Fox has conservative on-air talent BUT there’s NOT ONE conservative anchor.
It’s time for a new network - one that values the people who prop them up...
