Goodbye Fox News
 
Much to my chagrin Disney is going to announce its purchase of 21st Century Fox. Disney is an alt left organization that no longer fits the family friendly image of the past.

Hence you can say goodbye to Fox News as you know it now and be ready for the launching of type two CNN. Shepard Smith fits their profile so he should fare well.

Murdoch was rumored to be making such a move and so there had been talk for sometime of notable conservatives creating another conservative news station. Let's hope so because fair balance and factual is no longer going to exist.

Trust between politicians and voters has been breached as has trust between news agencies and readers has been breached. Coupled with this the alt left is committed to destroying family and traditional values.
It does not bode well for this nation if the left wins out because the alt left are fringe groups that are anti-white, anti-christian anti capitalist.

If the change occurs as speculated, then there are a few more letters to be added to my lettered media ignore list.

Time will tell.

As I understand it, Fox New won't be part of the package. From a BBC news report:

"...The assets being sold by Fox include its FX and National Geographic cable channels, 22 regional US sports networks and the company's stake in the Hulu streaming platform in the US.

It would also add to Disney's extensive film and television library, with movies such as Avatar and Deadpool, as well as small screen hits including The Simpsons and Modern Family.

The Fox broadcast network, Fox News and Fox Sports would remain under the Murdochs' control."

Thanks for digging for the facts. FOX News rarely does that. It is more just talking heads giving their opinions as entertainment with a token "Democrat" thrown in as a punching bag. Much like this Talk of the Villages Political Forum at times.

And we seemed to have walked into Trump's version of a locker room on some threads.

It has excluded Fox News (State TV) from the day that discussions began.

Those who critique, no actually accuse, the MSM of such bias have totally deaf ears when to comes to Fox.

I have maintained and still do, that Fox News(State TV) will become part of the Trump holdings in the future.

Sorry folks I obtain the information concerning disney's purchase of 21st Century Fox from an online website which stated Fox News and Fox Sports was included but then picked up my WSJ and it stated fox News/Sports not part of the deal.

This is a prime example of what is wrong with the news today too much misinformation ,fake news, unreliable sources if if fact sources are a fact.

I am also curious.

I had never ever heard of Fox News being included in the deal.

Really curious where Rubicon is aiming his arrows at ?

When I first read about this at the beginning of November, I believe, it was clearly stated at the outset that Fox News was not included, thus I think it is important to know who is making up news

I thought the "shot" at Shep Smith was totally uncalled for, unrelated to the topic, BUT, based on the poster, totally expected.

Rockyrd 12-14-2017 10:40 AM

This is from Reuters way back beginning of November (6th) which is early in reporting...

"Disney, which under U.S. rules could not own two broadcast networks, would not purchase all of Fox, CNBC reported. It would not seek to buy Fox’s sports programming assets for fear of running foul of antitrust laws with its own ESPN network, and also would not buy Fox News or Fox’s broadcast network or local broadcasting affiliates, the report said."

I challenge you for the "umpteenth" time to show a news site from the mainstream media that openly lies, especially since YOU, more than anyone on this forum has posted false, satire, with Russian based sources.

Really curious, since you will never answer where you actually got this story and PLEASE a link with it because I want to read the entire thing to see where they were going.

Your attacks on the United States press continues unabated, as you follow your hero to the edge of the cliff.

You are correct Rubicon...


"We spent a very busy news day behind the scenes with Shepard Smith, the Fox News Channel anchor who has been with the company since its inception in 1996. Smith, 53, hosts the network's 3 PM hour, during which he reports from the Fox News Deck, a $10 million dollar, state-of-the-art set and news gathering area.

According to Nielsen, "Shepard Smith Reporting" is, during 2017 so far, the highest-rated cable news program in its time slot, averaging 1.5 million viewers every day.


Unlike opinion-driven Fox News shows like "Hannity" and "Justice w/ Judge Jeanine," Smith specializes in reporting the facts, and he calls on Fox News' roster of correspondents in the field and in-house reporters to cover breaking news stories, sans opinion. "

RUBICON,

I sure hope you are not going to run away, AS NORMAL, and not supply a link to your site that told you FOX News was included in this deal.

I am very curious about who mis reported it AND WHY.

Not saying you didn't read it, but it surely is curious.

Hoping you don't run away again.

My delay in responding is that I was on the phone for 5 hours yesterday with tech support helping me sort out a new laptop I recently purchased.

And while, I certainly am not under any obligation or duty to explain myself to anyone I also believe in fairness and as a self teaching tool have always owned up to my mistakes.

Below is the article I referred to and as you can see it was lengthy and messy in its reporting and it went on ad nauseam.

Like many on this forum I read quite a bit as it takes up much of my day. So what I copied is what I read and focused on but further down the article article breaks down the actual deal in more detail. Clearly the usual and common reader mistake when scanning an article. WSJ article was short and to the point and that's when i caught my mistake.

we have among us a poster or two whom by appearance seem to exist only to fixate on a Rubicon watch:D Should I be flattered that a poster or two thinks me worth that sort of attention? I think not

Here is the article

By Chris Spargo For Dailymail.com

Published: 12:47 EST, 12 December 2017 | Updated: 07:19 EST, 14 December 2017

After a lengthy courtship, Mickey Mouse may be just days away from sealing the deal with the Murdochs.

Bloomberg reports that Walt Disney Co. will likely announce their acquisition of 21st Century Fox Inc's movie and TV studios later this week, with Variety later reporting it would happen on Thursday.

The deal would value Fox and its debt at around $60bn.

Disney would acquire 'networks including FX and National Geographic, and international assets including Star India’s TV channels and a 39 per cent stake in European satellite provider Sky Plc' in the deal.

The company would also double its ownership of Hulu to 60 per cent after obtaining Fox's stake and take control of the movie studio.

The deal is said to appeal to 21st Century Fox as they look to streamline their operation and focus on selected television properties including Fox News, Fox Sports and all local news affiliates in addition to their broadcast network.
M-I-C, see you real soon: Walt Disney Co. will likely announce their acquisition of 21st Century Fox Inc's movie and TV studios by the end of the week (Bob Iger and Mickey Mouse in November)

Thank you for your response.

I know you feel there is a "Rubicon Watch", but that is not the case.

You have a habit of simply "hitting and running" with some really outlandish material passed on as fact, when it is clearly "propoganda" and then never to return.

Thanks for the information and for coming back.

I notice your posts because it is supposed to be DISCUSSION on here and not lectures, and you tend to lecture everybody and then run away.

Still not sure why you do not like Shep Smith....he reports FACTS, not what Trump wants, and I suppose that might be it, and he rightfully as a newsman, points out lies told by our WH

Poster do you ever recognize the implications of your comments?
Are you that obtuse to your own thinking?

seriously I have gone out of my way not to be unkind to anyone but there are always a poster or two like you. I

harbor no resentment against anyone. we are all headed to the same end. why some people act as if they will live forever is a puzzle to me.

I do not take this forum seriously its all about nothing. the world has been and will always be with or without us in it. Nothing we discuss here will even make a ripple in the universe nor change minds or influence politicians.

One of the people on Fox that I pay attention to is Laura Ingraham and I DVR her show and then select what portions interest me. Ingraham in my view is spot on most of the time...or at least I agree with her.

When you say that you "do not take this forum seriously" it answers a lot of questions about your posting.

You then are, in fact, a troll just having fun with people who care about the country and facts.

Why do you then wrap your posts in lectures ? If you do not take it seriously, why the lectures on morality ? Why references to your personal religious faith ?

Basically, you and Baldwin are exactly the same and thus should be treated the same.

And I am sure you know this, but Laura Ingraham is a COMMENTATOR and any relationship between her talk show kind of spiel and the factual news is by accident.

This scumbag secured his future at fox by bringing his gay lover to a fox dinner to which spouses and partners where not invited.

He played the GAY CARD early in his career and plays that card often.

mellincf 12-15-2017 10:26 PM

On a related note, I see Fox viewers are dropping their approval rating of Trump. They are finally getting the message that not only is he a moron, he's a disaster for the country. Approval rate generally for Trump: 32%. Approval rate of Fox viewers: 58% (down from the high 80% range in January). Not bad for less than a year. When they lose their insurance and benefits, those welfare suck Republicans are going to be hurting. Shocker: Republican-Led States Are The REAL Welfare Queens - The Ring Of Fire - YouTube
