Prominent on-air news and opinion hosts at Fox News are going at it tooth and nail, as ailing 86-year-old Rupert Murdoch moves to hand the reins of the network to his liberal son Lachlan. In early February, I got wind of an internal war bubbling below the surface at Fox News. The combatants included several prominent on-air personalities, and there were growing signs that they were gearing up to engage in a serious battle with one another. The conflict pitted representatives of the daytime hard news department against several stars who are faces of the channel during prime time, when opinion-themed shows dominate. Like many Americans in the workplace, beliefs in different opposing ideologies were pushing these people apart. Adding fuel to the fire in the highly competitive hothouse environment of cable television news were jealousy and resentment.
Finally, this past week, the battle went public. It involved three top Fox News personalities: Shepard Smith, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham.
Opening skirmishes in this long simmering conflict began last year, when veteran left-of-center Fox News hosts Shepard Smith and Chris Wallace were the first on-air talent to publicly throw down the gauntlet. Both of them are highly valued and well paid linchpins of the hard news side of the Fox News Channel. Last year, Shepard Smith, 54, the channel's lead news anchor and host of the 3 P.M. E.T. hour-long news show Shepard Smith Reporting, outed himself as a critic of President Donald Trump. Also in his sights were other prominent Fox News personnel who had defended Trump, including the channel's senior judicial analyst, former judge Andrew Napolitano.

Alternatively, any one of the countries that hates our guts would have published such a paper, complete with all that "overwhelming evidence", to embarrass us Great Satan types here in the U.S.A.
But no, all we get is Alex Jones....
I stopped around 1998 myself...
Soon, if they're successful, we will see Fox News demoted from "Emmanuel Goldstein" status by the Left, to be replaced by glowing paeans to their "fair & balanced-ness".
Fox has become the conservative network
That’s what the hoopla is all about
When did Fox go back to being conservative?
My answer would be 2017-18
Check out the line up. F&F, The Five, all of prime time....
Wiki says OANN is DirecTV ch 347 but I don’t get that channel on my package. Would have to pay extra for it.
Censorship is alive and well
Our most prominant and respected architects and engineers are on record declaring that the buildings were pre-wired, and taken down by controlled demolition.
And the videos speak for themselves; the cutting charges can be seen, floor by floor, as they come down in precise freefall.
Don’t tell me you’re getting it from the Town crier?
I’ll take your word for it. I haven’t watched them since they spent over a year talking about nothing but Scott Peterson and Natalie Holloway.
Hannity, Tucker, and Ingram should get together with Bill O and go elsewhere. Fox wouldn’t last a year.
That would be good. Get rid of the “fair and balanced” thing and stick with conservative news people, commentators and guests.
We finally wised up and dumped DirTV!
They still did us one final time! on the way out.

Real engineers write stuff down, in hard, unambiguous black and white. Backed up with appropriate calculations, footnotes, and citations that can then be analyzed and critiqued. That takes a whole lot of work, and a whole lot of pages.
"Declarations" and videos are for hacks lacking professionalism, or frauds who know that they're be exposed if they commit everything to writing.
THERE ISN’T ONE CONSERVATIVE NEWS ANCHOR ON FOXNEWS. Opinion people yes, but not one hard news conservative.
It’s time for our team to move on - form their own cable channel. When conservatives leave there won’t be anyone at FOXNEWS except “B Team” liberals. (OK, Chris Wallace is an A Team Liberal, but he’s the only one.) The others slide in their jobs because conservatives have been loyal to FOX.
All our people need to get together - Hannity, Tucker, Watters, Laura, Judge Judy etc. and WALK. Get the hell out of Dodge... If FOX is run by a liberal it’s going to go down anyhow... form a new channel... it’s time.
Daytime “hard news”, Shep Smith. How can these be used in the same sentence? He’s as biased as they come.
.
Real engineers put up a website to inform fools like you, but they can’t do the reading or thinking for you.
Remaining paralysed and ignorant is a personal choice.
Videos of the buildings coming down on TV news are reality, which fools like you simply reject so that they won’t impede their ignorant sleep.
.
Textbook perfect examples on TV that are ignored by those such as yourself demonstrate the impending fate of this country.
Melting snowflakes.
.
Great programs on Fox get good ratings no matter what time they are on. There was a time when “Red Eye” at 3 am had better ratings than some CNN prime time programs.
Shepherd Smith used to have a better time slot and he still sucked in ratings.

What do you think seeing the plane proves?
The planes were incapable of demolishing any building.
Flying through the fenestration onto the floor slabs just created a frightening barrier to those above.
