You need two things for the likes of Varney and Dobbs to remain on Fox. Ownership/Management who approve and an audience who like the content. They have both and as such can continue as long as advertisers don’t jump off the ship.
I am sure they have proper journalists, how do they feel? I don't know the industry but having Fox on your CV during this period must be a blot on it? They and people like Lou Dobbs will be painted with the same brush.You need two things for the likes of Varney and Dobbs to remain on Fox. Ownership/Management who approve and an audience who like the content. They have both and as such can continue as long as advertisers don’t jump off the ship.
I swear everyone of these "talk" shows on Fox mostly ends up in shouting matches.
On Thursday, Vanity Fair documented “management bedlam” at Fox News as a Tucker Carlson guest attacked legal analyst Andrew Napolitano as a “fool” for backing impeachment of President Donald Trump, Shepard Smith criticized Carlson for not standing up for a colleague, and the network admonished Smith — all while Sean Hannity is privately wringing his hands about the whistleblower scandal and former House Speaker Paul Ryan is advising Lachlan Murdoch to prepare the network for a post-Trump political landscape.
As the Hollywood Reporter’s Jeremy Barr noted on Friday, that situation has not gotten any better in the subsequent hours. Hannity publicly blasted the Ukraine investigation as a “never-ending, unceasing, hysteria, lies, hoaxes, conspiracy theories,” and “a real, clear, present danger to this republic,” while news reporter Chris Wallace blasted the “astonishing” and “deeply misleading” narrative that right-wing defenders of Trump have been crafting to excuse his behavior.
All of this, Barr wrote, is exacerbating the long-simmering tensions between the news and opinion side of the network — both of which have a right-wing slant, but the former of which has at least a modicum of fact-checking and traditional investigative journalism.
“There’s always been a gap between the network’s news and opinion wings, but people who appear on Fox News tell

that the chasm has recently been growing,” wrote Barr. “Carl Cameron, who spent 20 years at Fox News and left as the network’s chief political correspondent, said he used to take the brunt of the opinion wing. ‘I was routinely roughed up by the primetime hosts,’ he said. ‘It was clear that the entertainment side was at odds with the news department only if you lived in the middle of it.'”
These people are all the definition of yuppie. They've never done an honest days labour in their life (talking about the "opinion" hosts). They wouldn't know how to hold a gun, let alone clean, assemble, disassemble, or pull the trigger. The dirtiest their finger nails get, is when they open the tops to their soy lattes.Lets just hope they all bring their guns to work. For safety reasons.

Yeah just posted the same in the Trump thread. No coincidence there.
I hope he didn’t sign an NDASpep will land on his feet at one of the other networks. One of only a handful at Fox who are credible and honest journalists..
If so it’ll be interesting if we find out what has been cascading down from the top.Claims that he walked.
Cant imagine he won’t wind up on MSNBC or CNN after his “I promise not to work for any competitors for a bit” agreement concludes, which I’m guessing will be sooner rather than later since he is a journo and does have to work at some point. If I’m Jeff Zucker I would boot Don Lemon and replace him with Shep.I'd love to see Shep get his own shoe on HBO like last week tonight. I think he has major potential for independent audiences.
Oh no, this is terrible
Sounds like Tucker has received his weekly bonus check. Someone should ask him again what he thinks of the whole Iran thing. Probably now did a 180 on that and thinks everything with that was done perfectly. Can't wait for the next dude to school the guy after the likes of John Sweart and that Dutch professor before. Arguably the biggest hypocrite in all of journalism. Kind of like the American version of Piers Morgan.Tweet

Yeah, let's all hope his suffering will be over (as)soon(as possible)I'm devastated by this. A true paragon of virtue, justice and all that is right in the world. I, for one, will definitely not spit on his grave should I ever stumble upon it by chance.
