Unless Chris Wallace leads the pack of layoffs, I'm not interested.

Why, Fox, did it take you all these YEARS to figure what I KNEW about Stirewalt the first time I saw the guy on TV?

I've said all along that Mishkin was in on the steal, and that his calling Arizona for Biden early was a signal for the big corrupt cities in the rust belt.....just for the reason the article states, make Biden's win more believable.

Until Ryan is gone and Murdoch sells to a real conservative, nothing substantive will change.
Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Fox News rammed the Trump-berg and ripped her hull wide open, nothing will fix this.

When we heard the wife of one of the Murdock brothers who took over the reins of FOX give a cheer and say "We did it!", I knew the fix was in. I will not go back any time soon especially if Chris Wallace, Donna Brazile, Juan Williams, Dana Parino et al are still there. I have switched to FOX Business and listen to Lou Dobbs and Kennedy, FOX left us; we did not leave them.

Before the election, my niece said she wanted a little bit of socialism. Well she got full blown communism and more to be revealed, so I'll say a little bit of justice is all I need, and maybe I'll get a lot.

Stirewalt fired? Oh, good.
I had to set my TV screen to Extra Wide Cinerama - - to accommodate the Trump-hating traitor's fat face.
Now I can adjust the TV back to its Normal Human setting.

Like Frank Luntz, there was nothing special about Chris Stirewalt. His behavior on election night was inexplicable but at any time he isn’t informative or insightful. He is often wrong and not even fun to watch. If he attracted five viewers outside of blood relatives I’d be amazed. God bless him.

I'm sure Stirewalt will be getting a nice gratuity/pension from some grateful billionaire.

Stirewalt has always come across as a pompous know-it-all. Good riddance, except I have not watched Fox News for more than maybe 15 minutes total since election night.

Is being laid off the same as being fired? I'm asking for a friend.

This has to be the absolutely best news I have heard since November 3rd. I could never stand that smarmy Chris Stirewalt. He had nothing substantive to say and laughed at his own lame jokes. His performance on election night was the last straw for me and Fox.

Forget Stirewalt. This is more important:
Baris said Fox News deliberately called Arizona early for Joe Biden to pause the ballot counting in the Midwest.
Suddenly the counting stopped in Maricopa County, Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan (and Pennsylvania) completely froze.
All of a sudden there are two massive ballot dumps in Wisconsin and Michigan for Joe Biden — the ballot dumps of over 250,000 ballots went 100% to Joe Biden.
Fox News giving Joe Biden a win in a swing state like Arizona made it more believable that he could also win Wisconsin and Michigan — Trump won all 3 states in 2016.
Fox News’ ratings have dropped 40% since election night and they don’t know how to turn it around.

I remember prior to the election this booger eating moron bragging about how he and Fox magically overcame the problem of Rebublicans, conservatives and Trump supporters ignoring pollsters. I thought then, 'This clown is so full of bat guano.' I was right and now know that Fox is full of bat guano and isn't worth wasting one second of the rest of my life watching it.

Big media like government. The “well-connected” like frozen face Dana, Brazile, Wallace or minorities like Jerry Rivers or Juan will stay. Stirewalt a white guy, no big connections, yeah, he can go. Conservatives are done with FOX.

Agree with #1 If Wallace doesn't go, Murdock isn't serious. If Neil Cavuto isn't fired, Murdock isn't serious;
And even then, I would be skeptical; the Murdock kids and, worse, their wives can't be trusted.
Newsmax and OAN are the better alternatives.

Its a start, but not enough of one. I am tempted to say I wont watch until Wallace and his smug, America hating pals are gone, but it goes deeper than that. I wont be happy until I see a big garage sale full of lip gloss, mini skirts, TV cameras and curvy couches. Then I want to see all the executives in Salvation Army bread lines and sleeping in an appliance box in their own droppings.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving Never Trumper! Could his buddy Dana Perino be next? One can always hope. Although Dana is so slimy she will never get caught.

Is it just me, or has Fox News discovered that the "Dixie Chicks Syndrome" -- where, when you ream your base they tend to go away in droves -- is really a real thing?!?!?!?!?

When their ratings fall by 65% someone there will tell them how to turn it around.
Get rid of all the leftys & hire real conservatives or you can kiss it all goodbye.
Memo to Murdoch Senior.
This is what happens when you let your sons marry lefty women.
If you want to save your empire you KNOW what has to be done.
Now execute.

Fox didn’t air Trumps parting speech, Newsmax aired the entire speech.
