The incendiary on air war that broke out earlier this week, pitting several of the most prominent Fox News channel personalities against each other, has cooled off for the moment. The sudden flare-up of simmering grudges between Fox News’s opinion and news sides that finally boiled over into public view involved opinion host Tucker Carlson, news host Shepard Smith, and the channel’s senior legal analyst Andrew Napolitano. The war of harsh words that went back and forth on Carlson’s and Smith’s programs Tuesday and Wednesday, which also involved Carlson’s guest, Republican attorney Joseph diGenova, was unprecedented and was immediately seized

I long ago took Drudge off my news map. He came down with TDS Now Fox is pretty much their own worst enemy. Except for Tucker Carlson
They’ll regret it.

Also, Paul Ryan can go Fox himself.

People keep identifying Shepard Smith as a News person rather than an Opinion person. This is BS. Shep has been blasting out his opinion in the middle of reporting news for years, starting with (at least the first time I noticed it) the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Smith is no more an unopinionated "news anchor" than Rachel Maddow or Chris Matthews (excellent comparisons of his opinions, I might add). Everyone should start calling the kettle black and honestly describe Smith as a leftist opinion anchor.

It seems like FOX has forgotten the old saying: ''Dance with the one that brung you!''
Worrying about post-Trump times is a big mistake. There will be four more years of broadcasting before President Trump's second term expires. By then, the swamp will be significantly smaller, and the Republican President following President Trump will carry on.
FOX shouldn't worry about future liberal viewers, they should be worried about conservatives that made FOX what it is. The liberal left is already well represented in the media. FOX would become a small fish in a big pond!

FOX absolutely needs to be punished. Turn it off. Stream your news. If you are ever called about a TV survey, do not answer "FOX". Rush, Hannity, Carlson, Laura, etc need to start their own news service.

I have been shutting F & Fs off more and more in the mornings. Tired of the weasel Napolitano and Geraldo. I only watch FOX at night off and on. Too many liberals spouting their BS.

Ed Henry is starting to get on my nerves...ever since he gave some kidney part away he's been dangerously idiotic! Sorry to see him go.

I've avoided FNC for some time, actually since Krauthammer died. But I listen to Fox Business instead. Lou Dobbs is my hero.

I've read the Murdock boys do what their wives tell them to do and since it is established that their wives are hard core liberals can there be any doubt which way FOXNews is going?

When Fox hired Donna Brazile - a person who admits to compromised integrity, they crossed the line into fake news. A huge audience awaits OAN or some new contender to fill the void.

Hiring Ryan & Brazil tells me all I want to know about Fox. Fox is getting to be unwatchable. I used to like Fox & Friends, but Brian thinks he correct on everything. I would like to know what Brian, Judge Napolotano, Cuvuto, Wallace, Shep, Geraldo , Juan would do if they were investigated for 4 years, spent 35 million $$, hired 19 prosecutors, issued 2800 subpoenas, issued 500 warrants, 36 filed bankruptcies, went after his children & family, raided his lawyers office, raided his tax office going back to his great grandfather, constantly lie on him, have someone put in solitary confinement for lying to congress while allowing dems to get by with lying to congress, not prosecuting or investigating one democrat, used all democrats on Mueller team, 19 armored vehicles, 19 agents sent for lying to congress. Then Nadler, Schiff & Pelosi impeach Trump for ???? 2 standards in DC is very dangerous ...to republicans that is. Meanwhile the republicans sit back & allow the House to do anything & everything they wish legal or illegal. Meantime Trump still draws the crowds & $$ while republicans act like wimps except for the freedom caucus & Graham. This same menu has been going on for 4 years.. the dems change the food but keep the menu the same ..get rid of Trump.

Shep Smith is despicable, in every way possible. I absolutely will NOT watch any show he is on. I change the channel, immediately.
Tucker is a good guy.
