So who’s out and who’s in Fox News? The Drudge Report broke the story that Roger Ailes has given Megyn Kelly the 9pm slot on the bombastic right wing network. That spot belongs to Sean Hannity. But Hannity will stay, no doubt. The really vulnerable show anchors are Greta van Susteren and Shepard Smith. Greta was already thought to be in a contract dispute with Fox. And Ailes said this afternoon at a Fox panel that he’s been talking to Smith about new ways of doing the news. Does that mean like from a different network? Who should stay? Who should go? And will people watch Kelly? There’s no honor among thieves, friends. Fox is gearing up for their big anti-Hillary campaign, so changes are afoot. Let’s also not forget mid term elections in November 2014. The rhetoric is already ratcheting up. PS Would either Greta or Shep go to CNN? Or Al Jazeera? Hmmm…
