Let's just face facts guys: Tucker isn't Bill O'Reilly. He tends to only have chicken shite guests that no one cares about and I have yet to see him have any real hard hitters from the Left on against him.

There is a place for Tucker and it's the 9:00 slot not the 8:00 slot (Eastern time). He's great for entertainment and calling out SJWs, but he's not up to being the headliner yet. And of course the 5 should go back to 5:00 (I don't think any of you will disagree with me here).

What Fox needs is someone vicious who will stand up for his principles and go against the most hardcore and competent people of opposition. That man is Ben Shapiro. He really should get that slot on that channel. He'd be an instant winner.

Plus Shapiro is squeeky clean as far as his conduct and reputation are concerned. You're not going to have scandals with him. It seems like a no brainer. The only problem is he may refuse to work on Friday nights due to his religion, but just do what Carson did and have guest hosts every Friday night if it comes down to it.

Agree Tucker isn't good TV. He either needs to change his crap format or he needs to be bumped

the only way fox news can save their credibility at this point is to hire somebody like alex jones

How am I going to listen to Shapiro's podcast when he's on tv all the time? I don't have the time or patience for Cable news.

If they hired Ben Shapiro I would watch it, record it, and watch it again.

For the people who watch Fox News they need to get Alex Jones or bring back Glenn Beck. Fox gives people conservative news pornography. Your average Fox News viewer needs more and more extreme stuff to get off now. Normal conservative news porn is too blasé. Fox News started like Playboy but they now need to go Hustler.

It would be nice to have a reason to watch Fox again but I don't think Fox has it in them to make that kind of hire.

Fox, under the control of James Murdoch, is working on going to the left. Ben Shapiro certainly doesn't fit what they're looking for.

That has crossed my mind, because he has resigned from companies with sexist policies in the past.

Ben's too short to see over the desk. If they get a new desk, maybe.

It's funny how you equate all that with news that doesn't lie.

Have fun in your fantasy world. The rest of us are bringing our country back.

Agreed. Anyone can tear down the retards that Tucker has on. It's like racing a cripple; sure it's fun to win but it's not like you have to try. Shapiro is the only one who can take on people like Sam Harris on the left.

Exactly. I'd love for him to take his format and multiple people like Dave Rubin's format online and debate interesting people for an hour straight, or if he doesn't have a fantastic guest mix it up as well. Screw other guests, get someone interesting on who can mentally challenge the audience and go after them. Thats what it should be.
