NewsMax is getting better...Good shows...
Good point.
I noticed yesterday Ainsley was wearing a big ring on her left ring finger and asked some music group if they did weddings. Wonder if she and Hannity are finally tying the knot.
Sounds like they think they can keep an audience. LOL
Hannity and Gutfied.....BIG MISTAKE
The pig can’t lipstick out of this one. It’s about Murdoch and a state run media. It’s not about Tucker, Hannity, Watters, or Gutfeld. It can’t be fixed.
He was at one point—maybe he has changed.
Hannity is about as much fun listening to as the emergency broadcast system tone they used to force people to listen to on TV-
You can just see the rigor and glee in the camera at Newsmax. It feels good.
As you can see, I thought that Gutfeld might be replaced at 5:00pm, but I don't understand the move out of the 11:00pm slot, especially with the blue nature of his show. Fox caught lightning in a bottle with that, and they'd be killing the goose that lays the golden egg by moving him earlier in the evening. (mixed metaphor alert)
I do watch a lot of Gutfeld, and I've been very critical of him here.I really like his take on things because he comes at it from a perspective of how liberals frame the issues. Everyone else focuses on the party politics of tit-for-tat and whataboutism.
As I've said earlier, Gutfeld's problem is that his "style" isn't really appropriate for a 5:00pm panel show. He's too disruptive of the time of others when he jumps in with his potty humor. If he dropped the scatology at 5:00pm and had a normal adult conversation, he'd be great (remember, he's sharing the table with a former Congressman, a former county district attorney and judge, and a former White House Press Secretary). A little dignity and respect goes a long way. Save the blue jokes for 11:00pm.
The thing that strikes me the most is what I'm now perceiving as a classic rivalry going on with Jesse Watters. I've seen this before in business when two people compete for certain jobs and one of them advances over the other. Gutfeld has recently taken to sniping at Watters, and the two of them keep throwing barbs back and forth at each other during the panel topics. I think Gutfeld is jealous of Watters' success, despite Gutfeld dominating the late-night hour and Fox News building a live-audience studio for him (and a Super Bowl commercial).
I think Gutfeld realizes that the management at Fox sees Watters as more of a traditional journalist (even though he's a bit yellow) while Gutfeld is a court jester (again, his Super Bowl commercial?). It's no wonder to me that when there's breaking news, it's Gutfeld's show that gets pre-empted. During elections, Gutfeld's studio is used for focus group shows hosted by others.
I don't think Fox will ever get rid of Gutfeld, but I can see them removing him from The Five and replacing him with someone like Will Cain. Cain's appearances on The Five are much more cogent and less jarring to the viewer's attention span (IMHO).

Well, he certainly isn’t now, not by a long shot.
The idea that they can fix themselves at Fox News, tells me they have no clue what wrong was done? Hint: It has nothing to do with Tucker. That was just the starters pistol shot fired.
Well I’ll bypass Hannity but Waters and Gutfield will make for an interesting evening.
Great post!
They should give Cain the 7pm timeslot.
Looks like Hannity will be the sacrificial lamb. Impossible for Fox and Hannity to win on this.
Should have moved Gutfeld to 8.
Have comedy during that hour.
Be different for an hour since all 3 stations are the same.
People do not want to watch anymore hate filled depressing news.
Many have left Fox News, but like Gutfeld.
And he trains thirteen hours a day in mixed martial arts, just ask him and he’ll tell you.
Correction, he’ll tell you whether you ask him or not.
Looks good to me....never could listen to Laura for long...nor Tracy. But I admit I prefer men to women. Very few women have it together enough to pull it off.
0.99% of the FIB are honorable people. (If Hannity told the truth)
Agree!!!
