Fox News Corporation...forget the BS...get rid of of Chris Wallace, Juan Williams, Donna Brazile, & Neil Cavuto, etc. today if you want continue to be a major player in the cable TV news service.

Other wise, you soon will be, like the big boys & girls in Twitter, Facebook and Amazon who soon will be nothing but a failed ink blot on the ink pad!!!

The American people in their love of freedom, justice, liberty, equality, opportunities for all, will kiss you goodbye and move on to greener fields that suit and honotr their needs...not yours!!!

Who really needs news networks and TV Pundits anyway, they are for the weak-minded who can’t think for themselves.

“No wonder we are losing. Eating Fox News when it was the best thing, the only thing on the air for conservatives.”

We don’t like being betrayed. And betrayal is forever.

They = Fox Management will stick with.

Like you said, the viewers are gone and will stay gone. No matter how they rearrange the deck chairs.

Yep, they better get used to being in third place behind two loser liberal networks. I doubt that they care, though.

Apparently the Murdochs don’t care. They are wealthy, and they can sacrifice FNC.

The Murdochs made all the money they were going to get out of FOX when the sold the valuable portions of it to ABC/Disney in 2019. The remaining carcass, which kept the FOX name, could only continue to decline in value. The Murdochs likely figured they'd throw it into controversy to squeeze any last profit out of it before having it crash out.

The writing is on the computer screen that these Fixed Transmission Televideo shows are going to continue their downward spiral as they can't compete with streaming, websites and apps with links, comments, etc. It's just like broadcast radio losing out to streaming, podcasts, and downloads.

It will be JUST DESERTS if CNN can actually break FOX News.

Talk about it being funny!

And, no, I will not feel any sorrow for those who elect to remain working for FOX.

You can also say Fox broke themselves.

I disagree. It is a public humiliation.
If you're right, then why even bother with these line-up changes? Why that rather hasty scramble for Laura's new contract after the election? This does matter to the hosts who used to brag about their ratings who don't want to end up in exile like Bill Oreilly.

A contract is a contract so they'll sit for the full length of it but their compensation package, since it's based on ratings became a whole lot less since November.

Make no mistake, the Murdoch's intended to sell all of FOX to ABC/Disney in 2019 but it was the SEC who stepped in on certain shows/channels. The Murdochs made their money and the only thing left was getting rid of the carcass (which still contained contracts).

“I used to like Laura Ingraham years ago when she had a radio program.”

I did, too — for a while. Then on the air one day she berated and belittled one of her staff that was way over the top. She crossed a line of civility and I was done with her. She says she’s a Christian; she should act like one.

FNC lineup changes indicate they are desperate and want to save the network.

It won’t be saved.

They betrayed us -they can’t fix that.

FNC - NEVER.

I hope the Republican Party is paying close attention (they aren’t, their hubris prevents it). Always thus with traitors. What is happening, and will not stop, with Fox News is their future as well.

They just won’t realize that for a year and 10 months.
