Welp, Fox is throwing the Hannity Phalanx down around Laura Ingram too:"Fox News posted:“We cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts,” said Abernethy. “We look forward to having Laura Ingraham back hosting her program next Monday when she returns from spring vacation with her children.”

This is the pattern. The only question is if there's pushback against Fox News' "get over it" stance.

If I recall correctly the first couple of times they went after O'Reilly, the sponsors slowly came back after a while. It's entirely possible this happens with Ingraham too.

It mostly depends on if Ingraham can hold herself back from inviting further controversy for long enough.

Keeshhound posted:It mostly depends on if Ingraham can hold herself back from inviting further controversy for long enough. It's partly that but there's the extra problem that she became the public face for "line crossing attacks on Parkland kids". So it's possible she can get hurt by someone else's words. And if she's smart shell have to just stop talking about these kids because people will be watching carefully looking for something. And honestly, the offending tweet is one of tamer things she's said about the Parkland kids and it's been one of the focused of her show. but yeah, push comes to shove I'm pretty sure she's going to survive this unless she's a total moron and can't be non controversial for a couple of weeks. But the major damage she did was getting attention and with that will come more scrutiny. She's was coasting in that "No one gives a poo poo what that crazy person on Fox News at 10 PM says" spot Hannity rode for a decade. Now people are watching.

Nah, people have been watching FNC closely for years. MediaMatters was campaigning to remove Glenn Beck after he said President Obama hates white people during Obama's first term. Hannity was never that controversial on television until the Trump era. He would defend Republicans, but mostly just via spitting back the stock talking points the RNC was feeding him. Even now, aside from the Seth Rich thing, he's not really that controversial. He's just a bit more combative toward never-Trump Republicans and a has a clear personal interest in defending Trump.

pentyne posted:I remember when he became internet famous for that video of him arguing with students about pronouns and the Canadian bill that would've made it a crime to misgender someone, and he was so close to being the force of reason and respect on the issue before he went wingnut welfare on it. He looks much less good in that scenario when you discover that the Canadian law didn’t actually require people to use the right pronouns, but was actually about workplace discrimination. He basically was making poo poo up to get attention and it worked.

Why do you think JBP is on speaking tours all the time? He's on the run!

I guess it's better than nothing, but it's too personal, and not enough of a serious reckoning with how utterly toxic Fox News is in general.

Apparently Ben Shapiro has a radio show, I listened to parts of it on my drive into work tonight. 3 points: 1. A contributor on CNN said something mean about one of the Parkland students, this proves that liberals are hypocrites for not wanting to boycott CNN and thus Laura Inghram did nothing wrong 2. He read the full statement Sinclair made stations read over the air and there's nothing wrong with it at all, completely ignoring the context of the history of things Sinclair has pushed - it's just the free market, guys! 3. The condom inhalation challenge and eating Tide pods is proof that kids are stupid and we shouldn't be looking to them for anything, and proves that liberals just want to sign them up to vote because they're so stupid and easily manipulated (or something, I couldn't really follow his train of thought there)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." - very conservative Republican Ike

This is a bit of a chilling piece on KOMO news, the Seattle affiliate news station owned by Sinclair: https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/tv/turmoil-inside-komo-news-as-conservative-owner-sinclair-mandates-talking-points/ Basically, everyone hates working there, but they can't leave until their time is up lest they risk financial penalties. Also, the majority of journalism jobs available right now are at Sinclair outlets, and apparently they give little care to your experience.
