Bill O’Reilly is neither a conservative nor a hardcore liberal. So FOX dumping O’Reilly makes sense when you realize that liberals constitute television’s largest audience by far; ergo, FOX programs for liberals.
Interestingly, advertisers dumped O’Reilly:
O'Reilly's sudden departure from Fox News arrives after over 50 advertisers pulled their ads from the news network. The decisions of each company took place after the allegations of sexual harassment against O'Reilly gained prominence in media.

Carlson will be taking up O'Reilly's 8 p.m. slot on April 24, according to Fox News. His own 9 p.m. slot will be replaced by The Five, a show that hosts a roundtable of commentators on different issues.
I have one question for Bill: Will you now take on the people you sucked up to all of those years when you were their fair-haired boy?
President Trump can do more than scold the media. He can crap on the media by eliminating the advertising tax deduction:
Eliminating the advertising tax deduction will blow the media industry out of political influence.
Serendipitously, eliminating the advertising tax deduction will eliminate all of the environmental scams.
Advertising tax deductions pay to get out the EPA’s message:
You will also see more liberals on panels spouting the standard garbage. Global warming and open-borders top the list:
James Murdoch, 34, who buys into global warming hysteria, has in recent days been labeled the “News Corporation Heir” and “Son King”. . .

James Murdoch is said to have convinced his father, 76, to “go green” in a major May 9 speech. In the speech, Rupert Murdoch sounded like Al Gore, saying that “Climate change poses clear, catastrophic threats” and that “We may not agree on the extent, but we certainly can’t afford the risk of inaction.”
Marc Gunther of Fortune magazine commented that “Murdoch has boldly promised to make News Corp. carbon neutral by 2010 and to weave environmental issues and themes into his newspapers, TV shows, movies and online properties-a tricky business, particularly when it comes to news.” (emphasis added)
The Hillary front organization known as Media Matters has challenged Murdoch to rein in the various Fox News personalities, including Hannity, who have voiced skepticism about the man-made global warming theory. The group complains that conservative voices on Fox far outnumber “progressive” voices and that Fox anchors, reporters, and guests inject pro-Republican views into the shows.

That means that James’ liberal philosophy on environmental and other matters could become the party line not only of News Corporation but the Fox News Channel.

The London Telegraph reports that “Thanks to friendships with Al Gore and Bill Clinton, he [James Murdoch] has developed deep green instincts?” His father made a $500,000 gift to the Clinton Global Initiative.
“I’ve gotten to know Al [Gore] in a number of different contexts in the last number of years,” James Murdoch told the Financial Times in an interview. We “think the same way about the necessity of being realistic concerning the climate crisis,” Gore piped in during the same interview.

. . . many conservatives regard the theory of man-made global warming as a hoax. Has James Murdoch been persuaded by Al Gore to embrace it?

Proceeds from the LiveEarth concerts went to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a group headed by Al Gore.

Liberals defend television “news” for obvious reasons. Conservative never defend television “news” for obvious reasons.
The Murdochs are gambling that their brand of liberalism will continue to beat the other networks in the ratings. The second gamble is that conservatives will continue to tune in now that FOX is openly liberal simply because conservatives have nowhere to go.
Finally, Bill O’Reilly’s was no bargain for conservatives, but his departure moves FOX liberals up a notch —— most notably Bob Beckel and Juan Williams on The Five. Those two pontificating on the same show amounts to FOX serving up diarrhea and a solid turd on the same plate.
