Various news outlets are reporting that Bill Shine has been replaced as co-president of Fox News Channel. Suzanne Scott has replaced him. In possibly related news, there are reports that 21st Century Fox, which owns Fox News Channel, is in talks with the Blackstone Group (a private equity investment firm) to purchase Tribune Media, a U.S. broadcasting chain.
In the UK, 21st Century Fox has requested permission from the government's Office of Communications to increase its ownership in Sky News; in April the network dismissed commentator Bill O'Reilly after paying out settlements in multiple sexual harassment lawsuits regarding Mr. O'Reilly.

[Begin Yadda yadda yadda] Special SJW Task Force, jmorris squad (reduction in staff is not appreciated!), interim report. jmorris may be on the edge of a significant development. Fox New's demise may precipitate a crisis of nut-jobbery, we should be prepared. The "jmorris" said:
Hannity won't last the year
Recommend that counseling teams be ready to go, this may be the point of vulnerability we have been waiting for. Point out that "they would never fire Rachel Maddow" or for that matter Keith Olbermann. We need to convince jmorris that liberals will never betray him. This will work much better than the Obsidian Faction's suggestion of torture. We want jmorris to be our friend, an ally gained by the pure force of morality and the well known liberal bias of actual reality. That is where we want the jmorris. [end moderately encrypted obscured "not for public viewing" message--can we get this to actually work?]

They'd never fire Rachel Maddow because they're too afraid of him. He's a soldier of fortune in his spare time, and the MSNBC execs saw how he once split a man's skull in half with his bare chin.

If admit, if Rachel Maddow were a guy s/he'd be kind of cute actually.
Please continue to misgender cisfemales, especially butch lesbian feminists. It makes me smile. More people should do this. Harass them whenever they go to the bathroom until they give up and use the men's room.
This is the only way that feminists will learn that when you legislate bathrooms and make up something out of whole cloth like the idea of bathroom rape, you're just shooting yourself in the foot. Especially if you're a feminist and think women should be able to have short hair. The reasons for feminists to do the shit they do is beyond me, especially with asshats that always seem to pop up who want to convince me that after the shit I've been through, somehow I've gotten it all wrong about feminism, even though they know damned well they're lying.

Uh, who -hasn't- fired Olberman at this point?
I'm observing FNC's demise as a mostly disinterested observer at this point anyway. Their commentary runs from D to mainstream R with a few Trumpers permitted to talk occasionally, but everyone else gives them the stink eye when they do it. FBN lets the Idiotarian Libertarians out of the cage from time to time, like Napolitano, but is otherwise mainstream establishment R. Lou Dobbs is about as radical as FBN gets. Which is also probably due for a purging.
I'm Alt-Right / NRx / DE. I have little use for establishment cuckservatives. The one thing you can count on them doing is surrendering the moment victory is at hand. The epiphany was realizing this behavior wasn't because they are cowards or even corrupted, it is because they are conservatives.
