He will just be replaced by another sociopath making big bucks by appealing to the worst in peoples nature. There is a segment of our society than has been conditioned to view our society in terms of groups of people opposed to one another, blaming our nations problems on the other groups of people. At least this should lead to an atmosphere that it less abusive towards women at Fox News.

But if you read the comments to the stories on this, a lot of folks are saying they'll never watch Fox again. I don't know how believable that is (I suspect it's just in-the-moment whining), but I think some of those folks may actually swear off Fox. I don't know where they'll go for their two-minute-hate fix, but there's a lot of choices out there.

(82,849 posts)Of the commenters on MSN.com, some of them claim they'll never watch Fox again because Billo got forced out. I can't say that all of them are legitimate or truthful, but some of them probably are. That's who I was talking about.
