Geraldo Rivera is departing from the Fox News show The Five.

The 79-year-old shared the news to Twitter with his 376,000 plus followers Wednesday morning:
Morning, it’s official, I’m off @TheFive. My last scheduled show appearances are Thursday and Friday June 29th and 30th. It’s been a great run and I appreciate having had the opportunity. Being odd man out isn’t always easy. For the time being, I’m still Correspondent at Large.​
Rivera often clashed with fellow host Greg Gutfeld, and last year he called Gutfeld “an insulting punk” during a debate on abortion, Yahoo news reported.

Rivera’s departure comes weeks after Fox allegedly canceled two of his appearances after Gutfeld mocked him over his criticism of Tucker Carlson, the Daily Beast reported.

Imagine sitting & watching MSNBC & this lunatic wacko w/no proof comes on screeching.
This guy is nothing but a race hustler just like his buddy Al Sharpton w/no active brain cells.
Worse hot garbage on cable TV. Nothing but hate for others from these talking heads

 
Jesse Watters will take over the 8pm prime time slot on Fox News after Tucker Carlson was fired by the network.

Announced as part of a shuffle that will also see Laura Ingraham shift earlier in the evening and late-night host Greg Gutfeld move up to 10pm, Watters' will now man the hallowed 8pm slot - left vacant by longtime fixture Carlson back in April.

The brand-new lineup will also see Ingraham, previously the host of the 10pm hour, kick off the primetime programming block at 7pm. Seasoned commentator Sean Hannity, meanwhile, will keep his old 9pm time, top brass confirmed in a statement.

Fox's announcement came as many had pegged Watters to be the clear-cut choice to replace Carlson, given the ratings he commands and the screen presence he exhibits on-set.

His current show, Jesse Watters Primetime, which only began airing last year, currently boasts an average of about 2.6 million viewers a night, while his long running Saturday show, Watters' World, drew in 1.9 million viewers before being pulled in 2022.

Moreover, Watters, a staunch conservative from Philadelphia, is also a vehement supporter of ex-president Donald Trump, the man whose presidential run helped make Carlson a household name.

That, along with Watters' apparent loyalty to the network who made him a star himself, makes him the clear candidate to address flailing ratings seen since Carlson's shock departure - after which Fox News' ratings fell behind MSNBC.

That's exactly how it was portrayed here in SW Ohio. News media had two themes:

1) Biden is such a doting and supportive father

2) Drug addiction is such a challenging thing for American families to deal with

Where's the puke emoji?

Did Gerry really quit?
 
I always wondered how Geraldo would have faired against Bongino. He said he was going to kick Dan’s ass. Lol
 
ESPN’s Ultra-Woke Jalen Rose Among More Than 20 On-Air Layoffs

ESPN has sent Jalen Rose to the unemployment line, along with NBA game analyst Jeff Van Gundy as the cable sports network begins another round to trim millions from its operating budget.

The end of Rose’s contract with ESPN will reportedly save the network at least $3 million a year in salary, the amount he was reportedly paid in 2018.

Rose has also been a lightning rod for controversy for the network.

Last year, for instance, he accused people who use the name “Mount Rushmore” of being racists because he says the name should be “offensive” to all Americans.

Foxnews has some good programming tonight discussing The Fuhrer's executive order L's he took all day.
 
LMAO .... this is such a pathetic look coming from the lunatic left-wing morons on the View.



Only morons would think that The View has anything to do with journalism or the media. It's a TV talk show, nothing more. There are a hundred crazy right-wing outlets--podcasts, radio shows, christian zombie shows--with imbeciles talking nonsense 24/7.

Name some butt-head. I bet you can't name 5 crazy right-wing outlets. They don't exist.
You're just FOS as usual.
 
Looking back at the fired CNN unhinged narcissist Don Lemon. Look at his co-host. To say she disliked this dude is probably an understatement. She texts in the middle of the interview. Lemon also tells people to stop talking in his ear. This guy probably needs to check into a mental facility. There can't be more than 20 people asking Lemon what he's doing next.
