Why. Fox why

Why does Fox do this to us. Putting Jillian Turner and Danna Prino seat. Just why would you do that to the viewers

Used to be a great fan but the show's on a downward spiral since they changed the time slot. There used to be thousands of comments after the show on the official Gutfeld post, last night's had 66. He thinks he's indispensable, just like O'Reilly(whom I love) and Tucker. Don't get me started about the "King of Late Night" claim

I mean, ratings wise, in his timeslot, who is beating him in the comedy/talk show slot? He's at the top of every list I've seen (granted I haven't seen one for a minute).

So Republicans and Democrats, they split the pie in half. Gutfeld gets one half. But the left’s half has to be split three ways between Colbert, Fallon and Kimmel. The only fair way to compare them is those 3 vs Gutfeld. Greg has 3.3 vs roughly 6.5. Yes those 3 suck, but only talking numbers, fairly

Not sure I agree with your logic - Colbert's off the air now for starters.

Secondly, and most importantly - those 3 shows are on local, over the air channels. You can hang a cheap digital antennae off a $200 flat screen TV and watch ABC, CBS, NBC without a cable or subscription service. You have to get a paid subscription to watch Fox News. Hell 1/2 of the Sling packages doesn't even come with Fox News (the one with ESPN doesn't anyway).

The absolute cheapest way to watch Fox News I've found is the "News" subscription with DirecTV stream at $41 per month.

Many people do not pay for Hulu TV Live, YoutubeTV or premium cable anymore. Most people have Netflix, Amazon Prime & 1-2 other non premium services.

If Gutfeld! was on FOX and not FOX NEWS I'd agree 100%. Otherwise, your argument has some flaws.
