James Murdoch trying to turn Fox into fake news?
http://ijr.com/2017/05/883709-exclusive-...ce=twitter

Speculation that Hannity is thinking of leaving Fox and James Murdoch is trying to get rid of him. Hilarious line in the story-Murdoch is supposedly working on:

"...turning Fox into a respectable news network like CNN..."

If Hannity goes, all they'll have left is Tucker who doesn't really fit there to begin with.

Peter Thiel needs to step up for a true, conservative/new-right/libertarian outlet. It would dominate.

Sounds like James is more interested in being accepted in NY cocktail parties than making money.

It really is bad that our 5 major networks are all in NYC. While CNN is officially in Atlanta, they have moved most of their stuff to NYC. And that's when they went off the reservation.

ABC ought to be in Los Angeles. CNN ought to be in Atlanta. Maybe Fox could be in Dallas or Houston and CBS in Chicago. As it is its a tight little fraternity totally out of touch with most of America.

Yeah, it's pathetic. The American people are thirsting for a news outlet that isn't cucked by the coastal elites.

Infowars is making some big moves, hiring some big names, and setting things up to soon be 24-hours a day.

The infowars guy goes on the stand and under oath tells you he's playing a character and it's not true News and you shleps ignore that. It's like reverse of the Romney 47% statement. Some people are going to be mentally deficient and vote R no matter what. You guys are proof positive of that.

Says the Russian conspiracy theorist.

This stuff is no different than what you are doing. But mass numbers of Democrats believe the Russian conspiracy stuff and leaders of the party push it like Schumer and Clinton. Most Republicans won't touch a lot of the conspiracy stuff on the right like the birther stuff, maybe 4 or 5 people in the House and 1 of 17 presidential candidates.

I don't know how much of this is that Schumer, et.al. have deluded themselves. I know HRC is delusional. That has been clear for a long time. The rest? I don't know if they have deluded themselves or are just playing the party base for idiots, manipulating you to get you to give them money and go out to vote.

It's not a conspiracy that Trumps son in law broke the law. Treason is laid out for you on that one post.

InfoWars is fake News by Alex Jones's OWN MOUTH! Why do you ignore that?

You're intentionally misrepresenting the "playing a character" thing.

He plays it up sometimes to bring attention to what he's covering, and it works. Media Matters pretty much transcribes his show now, which makes it's way to the fake news MSM. People who aren't completely brain washed and curious about him then make their way over to his show, and learn the truth.

He's a brilliant marketer, and it pisses the left off.

I don't know the context of that remark, but most people in media play a character. Nancy Grace played a character. Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer and doesn't take himself nearly as seriously as the left does.

Even Hillary poorly played a politician who cared about someone other than herself.

Or Fox broadcast live from Australia where Murdoch came from. Murdoch was thinking of buying the Time/Warner stuff which includes CNN, TNT, TBS, Tru-TV, HBO and so forth.

I look for he and O'Reilly to show up at Sinclair Broadcasting's new 24/7 news channel. Aussie brothers know it and are trying to discredit them as they leave.

The market is ripe for Sinclair to turn WGN into Fox News 2.0
