So we've got a lot of news. We've got a lot of things going on. There's reports going on about what's happening at Fox News. No, I don't know. I don't know how many sources met.

Drudge has at Fox News anymore. He used to work at Fox News, but he's got a big breaking story that's burning up social media. So I'll take a minute to address it and tell you why I don't, I don't, I don't know.

I think it much matters. I think all that really matters is who they replace the, who the new host is somehow some way. And what they do if they should just bring back Tucker.

Now, so you just eat a pile of crap. Say, gee, we screwed up and bring Tucker back. If you can get him at this point, but they're not going to do that corporations, I mean, just look at what Bud Light is doing to its brand.

It's not much difference between what Bud Light did with Dylan Mulvaney. What Miller Light is doing with the other chick about women are beer makers shut up.

And what Fox is doing with Tucker is you got a brand and you're destroying it. You're destroying it. You can't articulate to the person why the person was let go or why they're no longer on your air.

You won't bother too. You don't feel like you have to. It is the arrogance of your success. And Fox is learning the hard way that.

Repass success is no indication of future success. So what the executives are allegedly thinking of doing.

This is according to the Dredger report is overwritten up over at Mediaite. They write the Dredger report dropped a siren blaring scoop on Wednesday announcing an imminent shakeup at Fox News eventually reporting that Sean Hannity will take over the 8 p.m. slot.

What World Exclusive Fox News sets new schedule read the headline from Matt Drudge on the highly trafficked website he found it.

Drudge eventually updated the headline to note that Hannity's new gig as well as report both Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfeld would be heading to prime time.

Waters currently hosts one of Fox's top rated shows at 7 p.m. Well Gutfeld hosts a highly rated late night show at 11 p.m. Both co-host Fox's top rated program the five.

Hannity meanwhile broke the record for longest running cable news prime time host in April of 2022 eclipse in Larry King the 25 years six months and 15 days.

Now can this overcome back to me now can this overcome the self-inflicted wounds that Fox has committed over the past couple of weeks know it can't know it can't each one of these people is fine.

What they do they are successfully when their time slots and they have since their inception. Although I suspect that a lot of Fox winning their time slots was predicated upon people watching Fox because they always watch Fox.

The firing of Tucker Carlson shook that up quite a bit.

And they've lost more than a million and two million and a half spending on the night viewers that is not normal that is not good those people may eventually come back MSNBC took a major hidden ratings when the Mueller report came out and proved that.

At 95% that's being low of what they were saying on a daily basis on an hourly basis was BS and so their audience is like wait a second we were promised Trump's head on a pike and we're getting it that he was cleared this is garbage and then they left but they came back because where else they're going to go.

If you're committed leftist you aren't going to start watching Fox news nobody wants to start watching CNN so you don't really have much of a choice same thing with Fox for the most part newsmax exists but it's not exactly burning up the charts it is it celebrates beating CNN which local public access beats CNN I mean I guess you say we're the fastest growing news.
