No great loss. I'm not a fan of "news" furnished by personalities or "stars." I prefer the dry newsreader delivery that I used to watch on German and other European TV (if it still exists). "News" needs to break away from the infotainment paradigm it has fallen into over the last ~30 years.

It was because nobody was watching him.

Perhaps. I certainly didn't watch him. For the most part, I don't watch cable news unless it's to check in briefly on an ongoing big, breaking story (like Trump being indicted for 34 felonies or Fox buckling to Dominion for $3/4 billion).

I read the news from reputable sources and forego the endless, predictable panel discussions or celebrity hosts spewing bullshit. All cable news sucks, but Fox's suckage is on an entirely different plane in that they don't even attempt to present actual news. They spew lies and angertainment to rubes. It's talk radio with pictures.

Absolutely. Like all human endeavors, cable TV news happens on a continuum. The Fux Nooz end of the continuum being the most inane and despicable. And FUX is hanging off that end of the continuum by a thread.
