It never belonged on a news channel in the first place. If they wanted a comedy show it should have been on Fox Entertainment, not Fox News.

It was stupid satire. I hated the anchors and their overacted serious voices.

Too bad. I enjoyed that show, thought I didn’t get to watch it the last few weeks because my husband wanted to watch “Ice Truckers” on another station. I would have liked to have seen it on at an earlier time.

Loved the Limbaugh as president stuff though. Should have put more of that in.

It did well but the Left will say this proves there's no TV audience for conservatism.

Well thats it! Congress needs to pass a law demanding it allowed to be aired to give an opposing viewpoint to The Daily Show!

If the TV ads for this are the best gags of the show, then this show must really stink.

Never saw it. Wrong channel though. 24 hour news . . . people tune in for news, not appointment television. Would fly on one of the entertainment channels (good luck getting those libs to give it a try though).

i’m sorry to see this. the show is funny. but you are right, it
should be on fox entertainment. back in the ‘80’s, a co-worker
and i produced a similar news/comedy parody for cnn but they
rejected it, because they felt it was appropriate to mix hard news
and humor. i’ve always regretted that we didn’t try someplace
else but we probably couldn’t have sold it anyway as we were
conservatives.

You make a good point. I wonder how many billions of dollars in free advertising the Dems and the left get every year from the “entertainment” media. I have to wonder if the Dems pay Comedy Central, or if the lefties who run Comedy Central pay the Dems for the privilege of shilling for them.

I started out not liking it, but now it’s my favorite. I can’t believe they’re cancelling it!

It was Ann Coulter, not Laura Ingraham.
