BOR, sliding down that slippery path to anonymity.

If Fox doesn’t understand why The Five isn’t pulling ratings, they’re lost anyway.

[DoughtyOne]

Bill can’t give what will be seen as a reasoned criticism right now.

He should avoid making statements addressing FoxNews.

I think he’s on target here, but the comments will be seen as someone who just got let go, and has an axe to grind.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

O’Reilly was probably getting to the end anyways. After all he is approaching age 70 and was only going live 4 days a week for his last several months. Fox would be ill served to let Hannity go. Today, I tuned in Shep. Smith and watched him quote Politico and just about every Democrat talking point. If Fox doesn’t get rid of Smith, they are making a big mistake.

The news about Fox is...the communists are winning!!

[SaxxonWoods]

Leave FOX now Shawn.

Let them go liberal.

It’s the only way they’ll earn.

Here's the problem. Fox News deserves to be forced to shut down. Hannity can stay, and we can argue whether he's at all controlled by the puppermasters. But we'll always worry about that.

Even if he isn't there's a HUGE problem. By his staying, it enables Fox News to hang on longer, with the danger of poisoning the hearts and minds of those with not fully formed conservative values. Better that Hannity leave, let Fox News fall into inglorious and fast ruin. Then some other "news" network can change its attitude toward us little folk, or a new conservative network will emerge.

Seth Rich’s murder for leaking emails not a conspiracy theory.

It’s a theory.

He was murdered. Nothing has been released about it. The recipient of the leaks has hinted at Seth Rich being involved.

So, it’s not a conspiracy. It’s a pretty cut and dried, regular old theory.

[DesertRhino]

Id like to see Hannity look at the money he’s made, realize what life that would already give him. Thank them and leave. Move to Texas, open up a local show on some local network. Stay on the radio...enjoy life.

[HotHunt]

I think Fox is reshuffling the deck and getting rid of some cards.

They are moving Left in my eyes and if they are, they will have a tough time getting an audience back since all of the alphabet soup networks plus CNN and MSNBC are all Left leaning, if not way Left, already.

Murdoch's sons, who are running the network since Ailes was let go, are both Lefties. They will probably want to keep Mascara Shep because he fits their new model.

Change is inevitable. All good things must end. The future is uncertain.

[drypowder]

Who knows, maybe the Murdoch boys will sell Fox News to MSNBC

[TTFlyer]

O’Reilly is 100% correct. I wasn’t a huge fan of O’Reilly but his show was 10 times more interesting than Tucker Carlson’s. “The Five” is a joke. Only “Hannity” keeps FNC from ratings disaster.

The US media as a whole is about 90% negative towards Trump. Fox is only 52% negative towards Trump. If they can take out Fox they figure they have a lock on getting rid of Trump 2020 if not before.

Sinclair Broadcast Group really needs to get its cable news channel up and running ASAP.

Seriously, they are looking at a high grade gold mine, but time’s-a-wastin’. If they act immediately, they will be able to pick up a lot of talent from FOX. And even if it is somewhat disorganized at first, the audience is ready and waiting.

[TBP]

I think he’s correct about that.

But he and Hannity could help anchor another network.

[Sam Gamgee]

It was a special kind of stupid to fire their ratings star.

[MinuteGal]

Stepford Smith's whole show this afternoon was trashing Trump. He does it in his usual many ways, straightforward smears and out-and-out lies, plus the usual little sly, snarky comments. It was so disgusting I was actually fascinated.

O'Reilly swung really to the right this past year...and I found little to criticize him as I have done for almost two decades on this board. I miss his interesting show sorely.

Hannity's net worth is about $80 million. He should jump the Fox sinking shop, move to Florida to run for the Senate against the DemRat Nelson, or hover till a new conservative-financed network other than OAN arises on a regular cable network.

The Five is just pitiful.

I like Tucker but he regularly and almost exclusively gives a free, nation-wide platform to the the radicals, loons, commies and scum-of-the-earth to promote themselves and their ideas. Not a good idea.

I love Eric Boling, also...he tries so hard, but the poor guy can't control the over-talking on his show and he's stuck with third-string panels of some of the lamest and most irritating guests on TV.

The Fox evening lineup is now ruined for me and every conservative I communicate with.

The Morlock brothers have made every bad decision they could....however, I don't think they give a big damn. They have global communications fish to fry...and their U.S. cast of personalities are merely little guppies to move around or to get rid of at will.
