Fox News is “Fair and Balanced†no more.
In the latest sign of change at the cable news network, the “Fair and Balanced†motto that has long been a rallying cry for Fox News fans — and a finger in the eye of critics — is gone. The channel confirmed on Wednesday that slogan and network have parted ways.
“The shift has nothing to do with programming or editorial decisions,†the network said in a statement. Instead, the slogan was dropped in part because of its close association with Roger Ailes, a network founder, former chairman and the originator of the phrase, who was fired in August in a sexual harassment scandal.

Interview questions from yesterday on Fox to President Trump:
Quote:
Mr. President, you face resistance on this bill; but, of course, you’ve faced resistance on the entirety of your agenda. Who’s been your biggest opponent? Has it been Democrats resisting? Has it been fake news media? Has it been deep state leaks? What’s -- when you think about it, what holds it up the most?
[...]
How frustrating is it to have former president Obama there, out there leading the resistance?
[...]
I opened up the failing "New York Times" and "The Washington Post" this morning. No mention at all of this bill that you're signing today. For veterans who are so passionate about this, it's such a historic bill, are they going to cover this? And if they don't, why don't they cover it the way they cover every breathless scandal in the media today?

At least they got rid of "Fair & Balanced" first.
