Here's a post I made on PoliGAF that should ease your mind
Well, I guess "saying REALLY stupid shit" is one way of describing multiple million dollar sexual harassment lawsuits and settlements.
GAF in general seems to have this notion that winning ratings wars matters in the news business more than making money (while at the same time yelling "ITS ALL FOR MONEY IGNORE IT"), like if someone stops watching Fox because it's Tucker instead of O'Reilly, they head over to CNN or MSNBC instead of just not watching cable talking heads. Either that or they seem to think all those catheter/vaginal mesh lawsuit ads are aimed at the 25-54 demographic that gets the topline in ratings reports.
Fox dumped two of the five highest paid nightly people (Megyn Kelly and then O'Reilly) and band-aided it over with their Tucker Carlson band-aid and then bumped up the once band-aid that was hastily assembled from random people to patch the ol Beck Hole (don't google...or do? :phil) and their overall ratings have only taken a hit because of a half million that dropped off with O'Reilly, even when he had substitute hosts. Otherwise they've held steady. The difference has been that MSNBC boosted after Trump won. (Something he does get to finally noticing near the end...these shows always do better when they don't have to defend shit and can just harmlessly outrage.)
And as soon as Fox News does down, the GOP will no longer have an easy way to spread their propaganda.
This is also funny, because Fox, at its peak in the early days of the Obama Terror, was pulling in like three and a half million total viewers during O'Reilly. Last Thursday, Tucker got 2.7 million.
Some Democrats probably spend more time paying attention and actually listening to what's said on Fox News than the average Fox News watcher. Let alone the GOP voter, or conservative die-hard.
And if you'd be interested in such a job for below subsistence wages, head over to Media Matters for America. That's Media Matters for America, which founder David Brock says is definitely coordinating with his super PAC Correct The Record and the Hillary campaign.
