No thanks. I watch Fox and Friends in the morning along with the Golf Channel and my local news. Other than that I’ll get my news fix from OAN or the internet.

Hopefully they can get back to being a more conservative sided news station instead of just reading the DNC talking points like the other 5 news stations do.

MEMO: All changes at Fox News must meet with the approval of the Saudi overlords and must be designed to more closely resemble CNN and MSNBC. True conservatism shall NOT be tolerated at Fox News, unless counterbalanced at a 2:1 ratio with pro-establishment pap. That is all.

10 years ago, I thought Fox News was fair and balanced.
I thought they were the only television news that was trustworthy.

I was wrong.

Fox News is just another outlet for the Ministry of Propaganda.

They aren’t going to get more conservative. They’re going to become even more propagandistic. That’s what all this shakeup is about. And the timing is necessary because they need to ramp up the anti-Trump propaganda so he doesn’t get too popular.

AT has made sexual harassment claims against Roger Ailes. FNC may fire her.

OK. I wondered why she hasn’t been on lately. I like her.

Local news is just as left-biased as their parent networks. Worse in many cases. Don't feed the beast.

Too bad Andrea doesn't have a boyfriend or husband with balls. I would have knocked out Ailes' teeth (or dentures) by now.

Since two of the top three execs are responsible for the new lineup (since 2013), I don’t think that will happen.

A lesson in the Novel 1984 that has been forgotten was that the resistance was really being ran by the government to catch those that rebelled.

Trump has done a good job of outing all those we “thought” were representing an opposing view. We now know that there is no real opposition (other than the people themselves).
