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....

Thank goodness that Chris Wallace will have one less hour since Levin will replace him! Cannot stand to listen to Wallace. I would not mind a replacement for Objectified. I don’t like the show with Harvey Levin. I always turn it off.
He is very quick to jump on anything he feels Trump does which he considers not conservative. Most Nevertrumpers I know do the same thing even though they reluctantly voted for Trump. They still have resentment that Cruz lost.
I never expect Levin to ever admit the error of his ways. He is just tooo smart and way above the rest of we peasants.
I am sure his show will be entertaining.
I don’t know how well he can appeal to a large audience.
He can be unlikable.
I can handle his unlikableness until attacks the wrong target.
He is a pit bull.
I like a lot of FOX personalities until they embrace the darkness.
It’s all about ratings anyway.
Shemp looks like his wax face is going to fall off. I wonder if he has AIDs?
He really does look like a department store mannequin.
Not to veer off topic,
but your statement reminded me that there is always more wisdom that can be mined from reading The Bible.
Something I don’t do enough of.
Once in a while, I will open up the Book of Psalms, and read what I see.
I was an AVID listener of Levin until the primaries, turned him off and have NOT gone back!!! Trump has turned out to be a VERY CONSERVATIVE POTUS, his agenda is being railroaded by OUR SIDE and it SUCKS!!!!!
FOX should get rid of Marie Barf. She is sooooo annoying.
I wouldn’t have a problem with her eating saltines though.
You speak (write) for me.
I simply cannot endure either Levin, strident NeverTrumper, nor Savage, strident TrumperMaker, anymore.
Donald Trump has been in the public sphere, promoting fair trade, since the 1980s.
He, and We, are responsible for electing him, in spite of Levin, and not because of Savage.
I for one am not a Trumpbot simply for distrusting Levin, but Levin was manifestly a Cruzbot when it mattered.
Now he wants to benefit from the winning side. I do not wish him ill, hut I do not trust him and will not watch him.
Watch what you want to watch. Don’t watch what you don’t want to watch. Just don’t pontificate on what you don’t watch ... it only makes you look silly.
Yes, a so-called Constitutional expert who twists that out of shape is not a conservative when it counts.
I will need to steel this, So many dumbass "conservatives" who take issue with Freepers who did not support Trump in the Primaries. It still amazes me.
Yes, conservative think, leftists emote, which is why they are hysterical most of the time.
There is a deep rot in some so called 'conservative' conclaves when it comes to actually defending the 'original' intent of our Constitution... It is not theirs to mess with and then pretend to be above the in your face 'living document' liberals. Had Republican/Conservatives actually done their due diligence, we would not have had an ineligible Obama sitting in our White House, transforming our nation... Poxes on them.
Geeze Mark.
Get a friggin life and take a day off....
Looking forward but, doens’t this cannibalize his show on CRTV?
Kasich had E.D. and hasn’t come to terms with it ....yet...
If “Electile Dysfunction” last over four consecutive years,
see your Party Chairman.
When was Levin ever pro-Trump? Didn’t he have a family member working for one of the other R candidates, and attacked Trump on several occasions?
