Fox had its run.

But they have picked off every star but tucker and hannity.

And they may be gone soon anyway.

How does breitbart get on to cable mainstream?

Tucker isn't going anywhere.

Wouldn't care if Hannity got the ax. Dude is a giant windbag

Is Sky News Fox?

We do need a real news place. Let CNN have Toddy, Judge Nap, Megyn Kelly lol, and Fox. It is rumored that Ailes sons are pussy hat wearers, and Obama's sheik sugar daddy owns a great deal of Fox, it is only a matter of time.

A real news channel would have no opinion pieces and no panel discussions. It would have a series of interchangable faces telling us who/what/when/where and would have no “stars/personalities.”

I would watch that channel.

No panel discussions?

You're against open debate in the name of truth? Nice

Aljezerra America had a good start. Then hey dropped the international group and hired a bunch of unemployable American journalist flunkys. And then they went out of business. To no one’s surprise.

he is fulfilling a role that is needed for the conservatives in this country. Acknowledge it and move on.

This is what I remember from a while back. It’s just a matter of time.

Is the world then cut off from a semi conservative network from then on?

I love debate. Debate is not “news,” and it is far too easy to slant those panels by selecting participants likely to say what you want to convey.

If you want an “opinion channel,” that is fine. It is exactly what we now have, whether you are talking about Hannity’s insanity or Lemon’s condescension.

Just do not conflate it with “news.”

Oh, for sure.

His blind demagoguery is just annoying and his "We've got breaking news tonight that will shatter everything you've been told" at every show opening is flat out retarded

It's representing 2 different points of view so the audience can decide. You can easily vet panel members. If you're that concerned with putting a slant on things, endorsing a single source news org is absurd, but you're not great with consistency so it isn't surprising.

This. Every bit of this.

You would have a very difficult time finding a true "news channel" today. BBC is better. Bloomberg is also better. At least their editorial opinions are not guised as "news" like in the US MSM.

I agree that his guests are the only good thing about his show. Unfortunately, he hates the fact they the talk

Well, there are times where the events that are reported have consequences. There's nothing wrong with a "what does this mean" or "what are the repercussions of these events" type discussions. They are most certainly news.

Having reasonable people present what will precipitate following these reported events is absolutely news.
