Bill O\u2019Reilly.  This week, they cut ties with the new highest rated news commentator in cable news.  Tucker Carlson.  Who had half the viewers of O\u2019Reilly six years ago.  And O\u2019Reilly in his new gig got a big bump in viewers this week.  It\u2019s amazing how the circle goes.  Fox News ownership has gone hard left in the last few years, and they were rather jubilant on-camera at having beaten Trump in 2020, so cutting ties with a commentator Trump voters watch is not a surprise.  Others have been cut already, and I expect more cuts.  Fox is trying to reinvent itself, and I think it will succeed.  My question is whether or not Fox will survive the reinvention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six years ago, Fox News cut ties with the highest rated news commentator in cable news.
