With the ouster of Roger Ailes and now Bill O’Reilly, Rupert Murdoch's son has overthrown his own network as he moves to reinvent the family company's profit machine at great risk.

Now that the "kids" have started turning FOX News into another CNN/MSNBC-clone, they will drop like a rock and eventually either go out of business or be absorbed by some megalithic broadcast giant.
God Himself has promised to remove those in power who would hurt His Hand On Earth, President Donald J. Trump.
Watch, and be in awe.
James has a new target?
Saw Outnumbered when it came on at noon WITHOUT Harris Faulkner BUT with Marie Harf on the panel. The channel was changed FAST! Why on earth FOX hired her is anyone’s guess but it was a poor decision. Didn’t we have enough of her and Psaki when they drooled over their jobs in Hillary’s State Department and then went to work at the WH? How in the heck did Harf end up at FOX? There are a lot of faces and names on FOX now that I’ve never seen or heard of before. Not interested in hanging around to see any more..
BOR’s audience were huge block of seniors THEY will never take a hankering to Tucker THUS ratings going down and Tucker being replaced in a VERY SHORT period of time!!!!! BOR drew the senior crowd to FOX as a whole, this is a VERY BAD business move but I guess the James feels he has enough money to destroy the business dad has built!!! What a complete IDIOT but ALL LIBS are IDIOTS!!!
What happened to the FCC regs that stated broadcast stations were to be operated for the public interest, convenience and necessity? Being lied to is not in the public interest.
Loss of licenses would halt this nonsense.
The FCC went on vacation and forgot to come back. Have you noticed all the cussing on tv lately; including the F word.
The FCC must have been disbanded or is nothing more than a bunch of liberal leftist puppets now. The end result being the same.
The article is very disturbing. If true James ‘the lame’ will destroy something he could never have created. I hope Rupert stops him and his brother.
Making Faux into another ESPN/Target/JCPenney/Former Niners/??????!
O’Reilly is far more conservative on social and religious issues than Cucker.
Excellent Summary of the reality of Faux:
“FNC has never been a REAL news-gathering organization. They have almost no paid national or international correspondents. They’ve been enormously profitable with minimal expenses by pretending to be a news organization, when in fact they truly are nothing but a bunch of talking heads regurgitating news gathered by other organizations that had to pay to get that news.
However, FNC managed to compensate for the above slight-of-hand by attracting a loyal audience desperate for conservative viewpoints completely absent from all the other media. Without actual news, and without these nonconformist viewpoints, FNC ends up having nothing to offer their current audience, and no matter what FNC ends up doing, they will NEVER attract the Progs who lap up the slops at CNN and MSNBC.
James is nuking the one and only thing unique about FNC: a conservative viewpoint. FNC is dead, they just don’t know it yet.”
Eric Boring is an unwatchable, dull, checked pants, country club Republican. Totally unrelatable to the average person and the blue-collar Trump voters who love O’Reilly.
Cucker is also largely unrelatable to those voters. His views align with Trump’s campaign rhetoric in some ways, but at his heart he’s an elite, well-coifed, young urban professional libertarian.
O’Reilly was an Irish Catholic social conservative with a streak of economic populism. He appealed to a certain kind of viewer that isn’t trending in any marketing board rooms these days, but had absolutely no voice in the broadcast media besides Bill and Hannity. These other guys are not going to get Bill’s audience. They need to find someone who is at least a staunch pro-life social conservative. But those are the kind of people the Murdoch boys hate more than anyone else. Hence, another competing network has a HUGE opportunity here to blow Fox out of the water at 8 PM.
These kids are no different than the RINOs in Congress who believe the way to get more votes is to turn into liberals, because that’s what “everyone” in the “mainstream” is. Of course they just assume everyone thinks like they do out of bias, not because it’s true. And the votes don’t ever come in unless they campaign as conservatives.
It is barely watchable now. Fast slide down.
“What happened to the FCC regs that stated broadcast stations were to be operated for the public interest, convenience and necessity? Being lied to is not in the public interest.”
FNC isn’t broadcast: it’s cable. no FCC license for cable channels; anyone who can afford one can have one, no matter what.
Excellent question: “I wonder how much longer Fox Business will avoid the liberal ax?”
“It is barely watchable now. Fast slide down.”
Many of us stopped watching Faux, when they tried to ambush and lynch Trump during their debate when the Iowa caucus was going on.
After that they went from bad to worse along with their Wall St Journal with fake polls and fake news about Trump’s demise until Trump won the the election twice.
After I stopped watching Faux after their attempted Trump lynching. For a week or so, I missed them.
Now, I read about their bs like this on FR, and I don’t miss them.
With FR, I don’t need nor want FAUX nor ABCNNBCBS’s fake news about Trump and us his voters!
I stopped watchong the NFL after they were hijacked by a low talent QB, who was is a BLMer and is married to Jihadist.
Now, I don’t miss the NFL or FAUX.
An increasing number of people are “cutting the cord” and abandoning cable, getting their programs from the internet via Netflicks, Hulu, etc.
This presents an outfit like Breitbart to supplement their print news with internet video programs. In the process, they could offer video hosting to compete with YouTube.
Ah, one big happy NWO luv-Obama family. Great photo.
That’s a keeper.
