FNC has not renewed their contributor agreement with Fox News Watch host Eric Burns, which is set to expire later this spring.
The program will remain focused on media criticism but will be revamped with a new host and more of an eye on the evolving new media.
Fox News Watch handily beats CNN’s Reliable Sources…proving that Fox is not afraid to tweak even successful programming.
Watching that panel discussing the issues is like watching paint dry.
FNC is becoming to MSM. Can’t handle the allstars anymore. I can’t watch their daytime stuff, 2 at the desk and other popping in every second with new details.... yuck.
That show is a dud. They should do something else with the time.
They should drop Shepard Smith.
I do like Lou Dobbs and Glenn beck in cnn... but again, let's not be naive... Cnn wants to raise their ratings that's all.
Lou Dobbs is something!... He says many of the things I always wondered why the MSM did not critize or said anything about it. He gives hell to all parties equally, as it should be. We know the Gop is not that different from the Rats really, at least in WDC.
The purpose wasn’t to discuss the issues so much as to discuss the media on the issues. I think Burns did a decent job.
Over this one, sure!
Please ditch Neil Gaybore. I can’t stand that pukey punk! He is one of my main reasons why I won’t watch the show.
YEAH! Neil Gabler waas so dam HIDEOUS it was UNWATCHABLE!
I liked Fox News Watch, I liked Eric Burns as well, his book “Infamous Scribblers” is a primer on how media operates, even back in the Foundational Period.
I think Fox is tacking towards a younger audience, and I also think they are becoming a bit worse for the switch, this new show will be some heavily breasted news woman with some story about “Blog X” and the number of hits and yadda yadda..
Burns and Cal Thomas were at least pros and adults.
I hardly ever watch anymore; because they are all the same.
The one thing I have noticed they all have in common and that’s no loyalty to the American people.
I also watch them and like them. Sometimes I'm surprised that CNN puts up them...
They should have dropped neal gabbler and that idiot jane hall. He’s a commie and she’s a liberal retard. I suppose Burns was too much of a traditional reporter, and they wanted some interweb geek.
Yikes!
“That show is a dud. They should do something else with the time”
It wouldn’t be if their choices for the “conservative side” weren’t so inept at debate. Jim Pinkerton is terrible and although I like Cal Thomas he gets bulldozed by Gabler.
Get Coulter, Levin ,Ingraham, or Malkin on to take on the two lefty twits and you bet I’d watch.
Gabler is out, too, although the article didn’t mention that. He’s working for PBS now, if memory serves.
