One Day After Bill O’Reilly Was Fired by Fox News, Sean Hannity is in Trouble

This is bad news about Hannity, who has been President Donald Trump’s biggest supporter at the popular cable network:

    A New York Times reporter suggested Thursday that conservative TV host Sean Hannity could be the next Fox News host to be pressured to leave the network, after Bill O’Reilly’s stunning decision to leave Fox in the wake of sexual harassment claims.

Speculation and wishful thinking. There is nothing of any substance in this opinion piece.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Like Trump of Hannity or not, he was the one media person that "got" the Trump appeal from the start.

It didn't take much to break the camels back on Bill either.   The new boss is in town and looking to make wholesale changes.

Looks like all the networks will be rabid liberal from here on out.

Just part of the 'fundamental transformation' of Fox News from a pretenda-rightie news outlet to what the left wants them all to be.  Consider it as their consolation prize for losing the election so bigly.

I think it may be a "to form opinions" piece.

They want to make sure the next election is fair.  By 'they' I mean the globalists.

A LOT of us on the right abandoned FOX last summer when they stopped being a news outlet and changed to the all Trump all day campaign ad.

Well, now it seems that the rabid left will get its way re: destroying Fox completely.  That'll show em!  Who needs a media outlet that isn't openly, frothingly leftist anyway.

Um, you and I and CC aren't the ones taking FOX down.  They were doing fine without us.

This is all happening internally. They did this to themselves.

Some of us actually prefer integrity and actual news. When they became the Trump news network they became no better than MSNBC and blew their own credibility. Those simpletons on FOX and Friends sat there nodding like morons as Trump openly lied about Rafael Cruz being involved in the JFK assassination. They didn't ask any follow up questions or any of that other icky journalistic crap.

Quite frankly if all you want is a biased outlet to pimp what you want to hear, then the left has already defeated you.

With the exception of a few terrorist attacks, national political events and weather crises I haven't watched FOX since 2005.  I recognized what it was back then.  No TV news for me since the sources are all available online without as much spin.  I'd rather wade through it myself than have some doofus read it to me.

Hannity's show began to remind me of a particular scene from Pulp Fiction.

Hannity and Mike Judge. Of course the latter 'got it' over 10 years ago (not specifically Trump but the cult of personality and show-biz President).

They treat Conservatives like MSNBC treats Liberals- they appeal to the worst aspects and extreme emotions that drive their respective sides.They don't report, they try to influence. There are few exceptions that still make Fox worth it though- skip the commentators like Hannity, and for raw news (Brett Baier, Neil Cavuto) or business programs (Bulls & Bears, Forbes on Fox, etc). The real worry is if they continue to go further and further down the opinion/tabloid route for ratings and away from the raw news/just the facts reporting.

For primary coverage I turned to CNN because in their hatred for republicans they were far more fair on their coverage of republicans against each other. They actually did some investigating of Trump's claim about Rafael Cruz and the JFK thing and found evidence to the contrary. Naturally Trump's alt right army went ballistic over CNN investigating in favor of the "Cubadian".

As it is, attitudes toward the media were a primary reason for me walking away from TOS. I got real sick of people behaving as Saddam Hussein's media "minders" thinking that they could filter and approve the news and anyone reading unapproved sources was the enemy. I finally declared that if thinking for myself makes me the enemy then so be it and those who don't like it can KMA.

This is how it starts. This is how the mess with BOR got them what they wanted and this is how they are going to take apart every Right of center commentator at that channel. Media Matters has said so quite clearly and they are very good at it.

I had posited that Hannity would be out by the end of the year last week. This week I think he will be out by Labor Day. The sharks smell blood in the water and the Murdoch Bros are pansy Socialists.
