I never watch FuckedNews. What has been net effect of no Roger Ailes and OReilly

[blake2012]

And to a lesser extent Megan Kelly and Gretchen Carlson?

I was expecting more fratricide.

I know they have been losing in the ratings which is good. Any opinions?

1. I never watch it, so I assume it is just different people lying.

2. Most of Fox viewers

are conservative knuckledraggers who need to have their prejudices stroked daily. Fox must slant their "opinion" brigade to keep them tuning in. The network , sensing a change in the wind, has allowed the hard news side some semblance of honesty. It actually makes for some incoherent/inconsistent reporting- I don't think it's sustainable. Stuff like this keeps popping up:

3. We get more of Insanity.

And Insanity now directly talks to Trump, because he knows Trump watches. He is such a smug, arrogant jackass.

6. You are right. Barf.

He’s one of the few people I look at and want to punch in the face.

8. If I ever saw him in public, I'd probably be arrested for assault.

But it's OK to punch a Nazi like Hannity, isn't it?

9. It would definitely go viral if caught on camera

[ChazInAz]

10. It's a moral obligation.

4. Believe it or not, they've gone further to the right

Attacking the FBI, CIA, DOJ. Still attacking Hillary. Heck, they tried to revive going after Louis Farrakhan for a while. Tried linking him to congressional Democrats.

5. Amazing. Here they pretended Murdochs 2 sons were moderating the message

I hope it is unsustainable. I’ll have to read up on how advertiser boycotts are going. That’s the only way absent some sane regulation.

7. Sadly they are not losing in the ratings. I do watch so I can see what the hell they are up to

and I see they've rolled out a new commercial trying to separate the news folks/division; Smith, Wallace, Baier "etc" from the Carlson, Shammity, Ingraham crowd....calling them the "passion" side of the network. It was laughable.

[blake2012]

11. Wow. You are right. Maddow still #1 in timeslot for demo

But MSNBC as a whole solidly #2 behind FuckedNews. That’s depressing.

[Kirk Lover]

13. I know I thought the same thing until I dug a little deeper. Yes very depressing but maybe the

gap is getting less? I certainly do hope so.

12. Here's a good site to keep up on the insanity there without actually going there.
