Is Shep Smith The Future Of Fox News?
Huffington Post ^ | October 17, 2016 | Ryan Grim

Posted on 10/18/2016 12:00:16 PM PDT by C19fan

It’s 3:00 in the afternoon, and Shepard Smith is in the chair. Fox News viewers are about to be in for an hour of broadcasting that is at once deeply familiar ― Shep has been on the network’s air since it went live 20 years ago ― and also just as strange.

Shep, 52, is not what you’re used to if you go to Fox News for its brand of hard-edged, Republican rabble-rousing or affirmations that your conservative world view is infallibly correct. Today on “Shepard Smith Reporting” will be no different.

From the article the Murdoch brothers now running Fox would prefer if the likes of Hannity and O'Reilly are shown the door.

Years ago I think Ailes proclaimed Shep as much.

Hopefully, Trish Regan is. If not, FNC will be an other also-ran cable news network.

Hey, FOX News lasted 20 years, not a Bad Run. Sorry to hear they committed suicide.

I never watch Sister Shep, mr. Stompy Foot anyway, so it doesn’t matter to me.

But the whole network is going down the drain, led by MeGYN Kelly.

The only one I watch is Sean...and only on DVR, he has so many loooonnnnggg commercial breaks.

If Shept Face or Whoraldo is on, it is an immediate switch to FBC, Megan is also going that way.

It's a Gödel Statement: Shep is the future of Fox News, and that is why Fox News has no future.

The sharp turn to the left dictated by the Murdoch children (I use the term deliberately) is already obvious, and it isn't just in the increasingly brazen editorializing of supposed "hard news" anchors such as Smith. Other, formerly reliable conservative commentators have clearly changed their tune, and the guests being called in as "experts" are increasingly lefties.

O'Reilly is "too big to fire," close to retirement, and not a conservative anyway. Sean is filthy rich and has income beyond the network and doesn't have to care.

If the Murdoch children were decent businessmen (they aren't) they'd realize that FNC has flourished because of content. But of course, they don't. They think people identify with "On Air Personalities" and that this connection keeps them viewing. They should have a look at Kelly's ratings vs. Hannity's if they seriously want to examine that theory. After the election, when people stop watching coverage for a while, expect FNC to slip into third place, never to return.

Hopefully Ailes will go to One America or some other currently fledgling network, and start over.

FNC is finished.

I’ll watch O’Reilly for his talking points......the guy is a blow hard but I do respect him as someone who does his homework and I’ll watch the “repeater” Hannity but no one else. I’ve been watching FoxBusiness also......
