Fox News announced on Tuesday that it was hiring conservative commentator Mark Levin to host a new show on Sundays at 10 pm, drawing the network ever closer to its pro-Trump base and further protecting it from future competition on the right.
Its clearly another step in Fox News channels evolution to a more Trump-friendly series of programming, said Dan Shelley, the executive director of the Radio Television Digital News Association. Its right in their current wheelhouse.
Levin, who arguably ranks just behind Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity for influence in the world of conservative talk radio hosts, has been critical of Trump in the past. He supported Senator Ted Cruz in the 2016 Republican presidential primary and even identified himself as a member of the Never Trump movementuntil he decided to support Trump.
He has seldom looked back since. Levin helped popularize the conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama was wiretapping Trump Toweran idea ultimately picked up by Trump himselfand is known for promoting ideas in line with the president. Just recently, he has bashed the Mueller investigation, backed Trump on extreme vetting, and complained about the liberal media ignoring various Clinton-related issues....

“Levin helped popularize the conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama was wiretapping Trump Tower.”
How has that not moved from “conspiracy theory” to “well-known fact” by this time?
Medved used to be my favorite. But beginning with his “we must support Romney because he’s the one that can win” cowardice, he fell from his throne. It got so bad during the Trump campaign that I listen to him more for comic relief now, kinda like I used to do with Air america.
Don’t watch FOX News do I don’t care.
Mark Stein is doing Tucker’s show tonight, must see stuff.
“Levin calls balls and stripes with the president.”
The “stripes” got me.
LOL.

Levin is an original Never Trumper and STILL IS.
Levin was a foaming at the mouth never Trumper until like 2 days before the election. With the stakes so high, I found his willingness to turn over the nations policies and future judiciary over to Hillary Clinton to be unforgivable. I tuned him out and haven’t gone back. Since then, on a few occasions I’ve listened while in the car and he has been supportive of Trump. I assume he’s been trying to recoup his audience. However I still remember how he was working overtime to elect a criminal Clinton as POTUS.
Air America? My goodness sir, you do have courage!!

It was interesting. If they had a conservative caller that knew his stuff, they just cut him off, ended the call, and slammed him with their typical ad-hominem diatribe without telling the audience that the caller was no longer there. It was my awakening that they don’t have logic on their side. All they have is emotion.
YAYYYYYYYY!!! I love listening to Levin! Can’t wait to see his show! Thank you, Fox!!!
Yeh, I still ain’t watchin’.......
What?
I wouldn't call it a conspiracy theory. More like an actual conspiracy ...
I agree sweetest Megan.
Fox saw what happened to its ratings and decided it needed the A-Team.
Which they did :)
Trumpbots don't believe Trump is ever wrong ... It's the nature of being a "bot". Bushbots, Cruzbots, Clintonbots, 0bamabots ... all the same.
he was pro trump before the election after the primary. Reluctantly no doubt. it was obvious Trump was not his first pick.
and to some. that makes him a never Trumper.
When did this change? (If it even did change ....)
Well, thats a relief.
