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.

    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.
