Conservatives are rushing to condemn this but have nothing to say about Dr. Ford continuing to be harrassed in a similar manner :rolleyes:

None of the people that watch Faux News will read the police report. And Faux News will not provide the actual report if it contradicts Tucker's woe is me, bad lefties tripe.

It's only recently I realized that Fox News was no longer in our list of cable channels. When I asked the CSR on a call one day she said that the company made the decision that Fox News provided no value to anyone in our country, so it was pulled. Kudos to them!

It will however be yet another item to build a case for putting pressure on Fox to moderate its evening anchors or else have the channel ostracized, or even be subject to advertiser boycotts such as what O'Reilly and Ingraham had to deal with.

I'm hoping that the Murdoch boys push for moderation after their prick of a father dies, shouldn't be too long now.

They are in a tough spot in that they make money from their evening lineup of Carlson, Hannity, and Ingraham, who are all generally Trump syccophants....so if the Murdoch boys were to attempt to moderate these three, they would in effect lose advertising revenue once ratings dropped.

The replies to that Tucker tweet. The nation is too divided to unite again (barring a 9/11 type incident, yet that would only last a few weeks at best). It is interesting to see Tucker using his bully pulpit while the other party has no such means to push his version.

Let' recommend our Ed to them, kill the propaganda through a wave of "global partners". All those old farts will switch during the 8 minute commercial breaks and forget to turn back.

Depends if greed is their primary motivation.
From the little I hear about them it sounds like they want to be legit. I'm sure they have more pride in Sky news then they do in Fox news. Or they can continue what their father has been doing, if that is the case then it will only get worse.

With Fox now saying that they 'stand with CNN,' does this mean that Murdoch is dropping Trump?

After the recent radio silence it seems like Fox are taking stock and coming up with a potential contingency plan.

Murdoch never really liked Trump .This was more a friendship of convenience , even though he as managed to get in with British and Australian PM's ,he as struggled to get in with an American President.

I don't know mate. I dropped him after the immigrants make USA dirtier shit. FOX is a white christian conservative mouthpiece; therefore, women are supposed to stay home and have babies not take men's jobs and income.

Yeah I get that, but surely he's pushing his luck even for them?

Don't worry, I know how much his recent comments have disgusted you mate. ;)

Hard to say. As much as advertisers will drop you for this type of thing, there are always others who support it to take up the slack.

The Nazis gave medals to women who stayed home and had lots of children. Now, I'm not saying that Fox News are Nazis...ok, I am.

Is Geraldo actually speaking sense here?

I always thought he was as big of a moron as the rest of them.

Some days I'd rather they get Hannity for something than Don. In many ways he s had a far more toxic impact on this country.

The video creator makes some excellent points.

There is no fate bad enough for someone like Sean Hannity. He deserves his name to enter the history books alongside Goebbels.

The people that work at Fox News disgust me, to a man and woman. They're despicable, traitorous, immoral dirt - and almost all of them are smart enough to know exactly what they're doing, how exploitative it is and the damage it does to the country they claim to love.
