Fox News' Hannity Reportedly Worried Murdochs Want to Dump Trump

Gabriel Sherman reports in Vanity Fair that internal divisions are arising in Fox News’ coverage of U.S. President Donald Trump

Gabriel Sherman reported in Vanity Fair Tuesday that internal divisions are arising in Fox News’ coverage of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Sherman’s report came the day before 21st Century Fox sold off large assets to Disney and began trading under a new name — Fox Corp.

"Donald Trump's alliance with Fox News has been one of the few constants throughout his shambolic presidency," Sherman wrote. "But in recent days, that bond has shown signs of fraying.

"Reporters are telling management that we're being defined by the worst people on our air," Sherman wrote, citing a senior source in Fox News.

I’ll start watching Hannity, et al when they land at OANN.

FoxNews can kiss my a$$.

“Cant stand Hannity’s style of interrupting and talking over people, so I dont watch his show either.”

... as JudyinCanada has tagged him, Hannitus Interruptus

There is a cast ready to go Hannity, O’Reilly, Tucker, Judge Jeanine, Levin and Glenn Beck and anybody else that wants to make the move now is the time.

I see this too, O’Reilly is always on Beck’s show, sometimes on Hannity’s show too. Levin is an old friend of Hannity as is Ingraham.

Add to this that Both Levin and Beck have broadcast presence on TV and there is a place for them to go to.

I can see this happening since even though Levin and Beck were Cruz supporters back in 2016, they now back Trump.

Its a natural fit for them to do something to help him get reelected in 2020.

It is VERY HARD breaking through on cable, OANN is not carried by many cable networks and they are GREAT!! I had Verizon which carried OANN however Verizon’s cost became out of control I changed companies and lost OANN 😟!!! For these folks to break through by 2020 to make a difference would be next to impossible!!! It has taken Fox 20 years to build their brand it is a shame to see it DESTROYED by the sons!!!

That’s true but Bret Baier’s show is openly hostile as is the afternoon guy, Smith.

The Blaze is Beck’s TV channel and Levin TV is the TV channel of Conservative Review which Levin is involved in.

Michelle Malkin is great, she could be another show host.

Oann could be brought in as the news source at the half hours and at noon and night news hour.

So some of this access is already their positioned for swift growth.

Networks and Cable are dying, streaming devices are built into new TV’s and devices like ROKU and DVD recorders could pick up internet channels.

They did become pro-Trump? Not Chris Wallace, or Shep, ect.... To be fair, Dana Perino seems to have changed her tune a bit.

Wallace, Baier, the gay guy Shep, Juan, Perino, Vitert, are all low ratings shows. They will remain under Disney until the loses get high.

Disney doesn’t realize that these well established highest rated cable show hosts will keep hold of their viewers no matter where they end up.

My guess is Disney will destroy FNC as it did to Star Wars, and everything else it touches.

Vanity Fair is one of the most vile, untruthful publications in America. It’s filled with sleazy leftists who blab propaganda to a minor portion of the most stupid creatures living in America.

They had more pro-Trump guests on after he won the primary and became President.

OK. Didn’t realize that. I only notice when Chris Wallace or Shep get snarky.

OAN with its subscription business model couldn’t begin to afford people like Hannity. And the relatively little they get from their advertisers isn’t going to help much.
