Fox News Channel

Something a bit different from the usual post-death article: Rolling Stone reminding readers of the impact Mr Ailes had on American culture, but not holding back.

I think the irony escapes them. Calling someone who died one of the Worst Americans Ever for making America “hate-filled”. One of the things about a free country is anyone is allowed to set up a news channel and try to make a success of it.

Another opinion piece on Ailes, this time from Monica Lewinski of Bill Clinton-blowjob fame.

A breakdown of Fox’s ratings versus MSNBC’s, hour-by-hour, highlighting the network’s recent ratings slump following the removal of O’Reilly.

Fox & Friends has a new set.




Personally I think it looks hideous. As I said on TV Forum (where the pictures are sourced from), the whole set has a command-deck-from-the-Starship-Enterprise-vibe going for it, with the hideous white washing out the set. Feels very cold and surgical for a breakfast programme. It doesn’t help that the main presenting desk from the last cap looks like what someone from the 1950s would think looks ‘futuristic’.

the use of so much white on the “soft” set completely clashes with the silvery grey used on the desk. and wtf are those rectangular cubes used for on each side of the desk… are they for decoration or do they actually serve a purpose?

Also that ticker (not the OSD, but the actual, real life ticker on the set) looks SO dated.

Speaking or rebranding…

Fox News Channel has got rid of the “Fair & Balanced” tag. Now it is “Most Watched-Most Trusted”.

Another sexual harassment scandal emerging as Fox News host Eric Bolling suspended.

Huffington post probably didn’t even fact check the so called story before publishing it. Sounds to me fake news. Again its my opinion. I question any kind of opinion that comes from Huffington Post. Hey, at least you could try and leave the name calling to private messaging?

He’s been suspended. Just because something doesn’t fit your world view doesn’t make it ‘fake’.

Fox News no longer broadcasting in the UK as feed pulled ahead of Government decision on Sky takeover bid

A spokesperson for the Rupert Murdoch-owned 21st Century Fox said: “21st Century Fox has decided to cease providing a feed of Fox News Channel in the UK.

“Fox News is focused on the US market and designed for a US audience and, accordingly, it averages only a few thousand viewers across the day in the UK.

“We have concluded that it is not in our commercial interest to continue providing Fox News in the UK.”

FNC will be restored on day 1 of the Sky takeover. It shouldn’t make a difference to the decision-making process.

Eric Bolling, host of The Specialists and former fill in for The O’Reilly Factor, has “parted ways” with Fox News. Last month he was suspended after female colleagues alleged he sent pictures of his genitalia to them.

Oops nevermind then, hey ShadowDan?

Sad news that Eric Bollings son has died.

Yeah I just saw. How tragic.
