Neil Cavuto’s “World” has come to an end at Fox News

Isn't their job to attract the largest possible audience to view the commercials during the programming elements? Isn't that the job of all radio and TV stations and networks? I would say they're doing just fine.

What commercials do they have though. It’s mostly adult diapers and generic viagra pills.

Isn't it possible to do their job of attracting a large conservative audience without spreading factually incorrect "news" and demonizing their opponents? There used to be this thing called ethics, I worked for broadcasters that were highly conservative but wouldn't allow of the behavior on that channel. I've worked with conservative reporters and anchors who would report facts, not hyperbole and slant.

Call me old fashioned, but just because something is profitable doesn't make it right. And just because it's ethical doesn't mean you can't make a profit either. I actually used to watch Fox News. I thought it was a fresh alternative and healthy for CNN to have the competition. I'd even watch O'Reilly. He'd talk with Jon Stewart or Marilyn Manson and have a lively debate. That was good television and thought provoking. That was also before I was aware of O'Reilly's scummy personal behavior. But there was a place for what Fox did. Shepherd Smith was an ethical man, who no longer fit in there because he wouldn't kiss the right bottoms. Now credible journalists like Smith, Wallace, and Baier get criticized by the audience for not falling in line or asking the wrong question of their idol.

Fox gets a lot of criticism and it isn't because everyone criticizing is some Berkeley leftist. It gets criticized in many cases because a center-right alternative to CNN became a channel that crowded out the actual journalists and blurred the line further between journalism and opinion to the detriment of discourse, including conservative discourse. The issue is not the conservatism. It's the decline in their ethics that led to people like Tucker Carlson being elevated to star status. It's the scandals with high level management and talent that couldn't seem to control their own urges and not harass female employees. Some things aren't about politics, they're about morality.

The wonderful thing about America is that you don't ever have to watch that rich Republican Trump crap. You can change the channel. The point though is that Fox is in business to bring viewers and as long as enough of them are there to see the commercials, that is what counts. You ethical types can abandon them and when people don't see the commercials any longer, Fox will switch to pro leftist socialist inflationary policies that will warm your heart, possibly to the detriment of the environment and global warming. MAGA. Make America Gore Again

All true and Fox News in the past 5 years had to respond to the rise of Newsmax and some of their imitators on the right over who has the most Trump viewers. Im not sure if you can get Fox News to not be too dependent on Trump given where we are now. Cavuto did the right thing in making that hard decision to leave the network.



Here is Cavuto's final segment on Fox News!

They have all the trump shoes and trump watch commercials to maintain..... They cant risk compromising that for some fair reporting..... they gotta look at the greater good. Fox news is simply showing people where their priorities are. ....... It says all I need to know about that channel and what its become. Plus they cant risk losing trump because every time hes on they make like millions of dollars.. So why not just appease trump by pushing cavuto out. It makes perfect sense.

You don’t watch at all, do you? There are no such ads.

Yet its viewing numbers are about twice that of MSNBC and CNN combined. Like all older-leaning sources, they depend on different client categories than the traditional wired nets or other cable channels.

Of course, that statement goes beyond hyperbole. There are no facts to support that statement.

While it is possible that Cavuto left because he did not feel comfortable in the environment, he may also have left simply because he wanted to move on. Since there is no proof, one way or another, any conclusion by any of us is purely based on simple guessing.
