Roger Ailes on Megyn Kelly Report: ‘All of Our Stars Will be Back’
TV Newser ^ | AUG 8,2013 | Chris Ariens

Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes is being interviewed by Neil Cavuto at this hour in California at a 21st Century Fox investors conference.

The first question Cavuto asked was about the rumor, first reported on Drudge Report, that Megyn Kelly will me moving into the 9pmET timeslot this Fall. “Generally, I don’t confirm or deny any rumors, and that is a rumor at the moment,” said Ailes, adding “all of our stars will be back.”

As for Hannity, who currently hosts the 9pm hour, Ailes said, “Hannity is a brand that many of our viewers love and want to see, and, as you know, is one of the nicest guys in the building.”

Ailes did say he’s been having conversations with Shepard Smith about “a new way to deliver news.” This could mean a lot of things, including that Smith’s 7pm timeslot is up for grabs.

Hannity & Kelly? Naw. They would fight over which one of them gets the privilege of channeling Colmes.

They repeat Hannity, and they repeat O’Reilly.

Better to have fresh content, and a little different attitude from the stogy old standards, Hannity O’Reilly and Van Sustern.

I like the idea of Laura Ingraham taking over for O'Reilly___she is watchable/listenable plus much more conservative than any of the three mentioned.

Hannity cannot debate liberals. Often times, he ask a question, halfway listens to the answer and moves on with no comment about the answer-really bugs me. I think he’s a good person but he is getting tiresome. I do like his panels that he has had on lately-conservative blacks, for example.

I think O’Reilly is an obnoxious know-it-all, but for some reason I like watching the show. I doubt they will take him off - he’s #1. He is, however, getting on. I think he’s 74.

Hannity seems to do more ranting than anything. Tiresome.

I would love to see Laura Ingraham, far more so than Megyn Kelly. I didn’t like her very much to begin with, but posing for GQ finished her off for me.

Shep is brutal - give him the heave ho. Would love to see Mark Steyn or Dennis Prager.

Yes, Hannity is probably a good person, and yes his panels are interesting. But he’s so full of himself that he’s become very difficult to watch. That goes double, or triple, for O’Reilly, although I’m not so sure he’s all that good a person in private...he’s just too damned rude to guests, and that probably carries over into his private life as well.

Incidentally, every time Hannity gets on an immigration roll on his radio show he singlehandedly sets back the GOP’s chance of ever winning the Hispanic vote. On his performance on that topic alone, I could justify never wanting him to appear on a conservative show again. He’s a complete disaster when it comes to understanding immigration and how to deal with the problem, and he always ends up sounding like he wants to send every Hispanic in the country back to his home country. (”Oh, but I don’t have anything against Hispanics” is his usual reply once he realizes he’s in too deep with his canned, regurgitated, rhetoric, but by that time it’s way too late.)

Yes, enforcing immigration law would be such a disaster. At least for the Treason Lobby, which you seem to belong to.

is moved to a slot well away from my normal viewing hours.

I have no sympathy for anyone that hs not learned to program their DVR.

FOX News is unwatchable with out Fast Forward, and the delete function.

Both “The Five” and “Red Eye” are examples of shallowness in the news industry. They both fill up time by having five people each take a small bite of a subject. Red Eye is the adolescent bite; The Five is a moderate’s bite, start in the middle and stay there.

That’s a pretty good take on such news shows.

Send Shepard Smith packing.

Was that double entendre intended?

Well, I like Megyn. Nothing tops a cute blonde with a brain, and good sense!

Show me where I said that immigration laws shouldn’t be enforced. After all, not enforcing them (and that includes Bush, by the way, in spades) is what led to the current mess.

It’s straightening out the current mess that’s the issue, and how to do it. Those of you who think we can back up twenty or so years and start over are the delusional ones.

When bad law enforcement leads to a bad outcome, you start by dealing with what you have, not by dreaming about what would have happened if there’d never been bad enforcement in the first place. There’s a real mess that needs undoing and the politics of doing it are going to be exceptionally complicated, as we’re seeing.

As for your “treasonous lobby” comment, I’m probably as conservative as you, just not a racist. Oh, you’re not a racist? Well, if you don’t like being called a racist on scant information, imagine how it feels to be called “treasonous” on even less. Grow up.

>>I have no sympathy for anyone that hs not learned to program their DVR.<<

Geez, people assume so much in here...

All I’m saying is that when I turn the TV on at night (to FOX) I’d rather not be looking at either Hannity or O’Reilly if I’m trying to catch up on what’s happening. You know, a quick ten minutes or so before going to a recorded show?

With different anchors, I might tend to stick around a bit longer, is all. The last thing I would do is pre-record a news program. Why let them sort out what I’m supposed to care about? That’s what got the country in such terrible shape in the first place...low information voters.

I hope none of this upsets Greta’a time slot.

I doubt Hannity is moving to a hard news slot so I gues shep is safe for the timebeing.

I sense Ingraham is being groomed for BOR’s slot if he ever leaves.

Oooh, you called me a racist!

Sorry I’m not impressed. That’s been the favorite swear word of Leftists for 50 years. I’ve heard it before. No surprise to see the treason lobby using it. I’m sure it’s not your first time.

“. Those of you who think we can back up twenty or so years and start over are the delusional ones.”

Funny, that’s the same crap the Treason Lobby was spouting back in 1994 when we passed Prop 187. You clowns are the Grima Wormtongues of politics, always whispering “just give up!”

The sad part for you is that patriots don’t give up. Patriots recognize a difference between Americans and foreign nationals who squat here illegally. And they take the side of their own country.

Well to be fair you know the difference, too: you just happen to be on the side of the invaders.

But take heart. Once the illegals win then what you do won’t be called treason anymore. You’ll be some sort of hero, in a Benedict Arnold fashion.
