Do you think Keith would accept a position at Fox ?

[crazyjoe]

He would be much better than Alan, we would have someone on our side to help turn things around over there.

[napi21]

1. NO & they wouldn't offer one! nt

[SeattleGirl]

2. I think he'd rather stick needles in his eyes. n/t

[crazyjoe]

16. maybe, but he would loose all respect if he goes back to MSNBC

with hat in hand. They shit on him.

[H2O Man]

3. Or the North Korean government?

[polichick]

4. Why would Fox hire Keith? nt

[Turbineguy]

5. Raise ratings?

[polichick]

7. Fox is first and foremost an arm of the Republican party. nt

[Turbineguy]

25. I thought it was

the other way around. Fox is run by the enemies of America and the GOP does their bidding.

[polichick]

33. imo Fox and the GOP are one and the same. nt

[RZM]

17. It would be a huge gamble over there

Probably why it's not too likely. But I wouldn't say it's totally out of the question. Ratings are what matters most to them, IMO -- the blowback from viewers and on-air personalities might be scary though. Bill-O alone would absolutely go nuts. But on the other hand, they'd all in the end have to sit there and take it -- and his hiring probably wouldn't have a long-term negative impact on the operation. If KO fans followed him (I would bet they'd put him in at 10pm) and some Fox viewers watched just to yell at the screen, you'd have higher ratings right there. Don't count on it. But don't count it out either.

[polichick]

34. I just don't think they're more interested in ratings than in furthering a right-wing agenda...

In any case, I don't think I could follow anyone over to Fox.

[RZM]

36. Just a guess, I guess

I have no way of knowing. I'm sure opinions are divided and plenty of people who make the decisions at Fox probably want both equally and see the two goals as intimately connected. I do remember KO once saying that he believed that if Rupert Murdoch thought he could make more money with a liberal network that he would do so in a heartbeat. Of course he probably has no way of really knowing that either. Still. Stranger things have happened. If he doesn't return to his old slot at MSNBC (and he probably will), he'll be looking for a new gig with lots of exposure, a nice paycheck, and creative control. Fox certainly has the ability to offer all of those things.

6. He worked there before MSNBC. n/t

[A-Schwarzenegger]

29. Don't insult clowns.

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. Is there such a thing as an UnDUzy?

We have one here.

[murray hill farm]

8. Do not...

ask absurd questions. Ha!!!!!!! The being that we love could not..in this universe, work for FOX.

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

10. Keith accepting a position at FAUX would be like

Me accepting a position in Hell.

[RZM]

12. LOL

This is the third time I've posted this on here. But 10 pm on Fox. Move over Greta . . . here comes KO ;)

[regnaD kciN]

13. Do you think Fox would want Keith...?

:rofl:

[cynatnite]

14. I still wouldn't watch Faux even if KO had a show there. n/t

[LeFleur1]

37. Me Either

But I think he would go there if offered big bucks. And it would be good for the Fox audience if his show was one in which the facts are pointed out and discussed.

[laylah]

15. Without looking through the previous

comments, my response would be, not only no, but FUCK no!

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. User ID says it all

You are crazy.

[Catshrink]

19. Oh jeez

:rofl:

[Motown_Johnny]

21. They could make a reality show about the contract negotiations

working title. "Truth or FOXequences"

[Desertrose]

22. Good grief I would hope not!!!

Can you say "no credibility"?

[doc03]

23. The new show Hannity and Oberman premiers. Head lines the

next day, talk show host Keith Oberman chokes co-host Sean Hannity to death on live TV.

[niyad]

28. you could at least get his name correct

[Iggo]

24. Oh, stop it.

:eyes:

[SwampG8r]

26. he is in reality just

one more media face who will run to the highest paycheck
so i would say its almost a given

[RB TexLa]

27. He's accepted one with them before, so why not.

[Individualist]

30. You certainly have an appropriate user name.

:)

[gauguin57]

31. Keith already worked for Fox before (for Fox Sports Net, after he quit MSNBC before).

I think Keith will be back on MSNBC eventually.

[Dreamer Tatum]

32. Maybe...depends on the control he'd be given

That would be interesting.

[Cal33]

35. He might accept a job from Fox only on his own terms and

conditions -- and among them, he must be allowed to say whatever he wants to.
Fox would never agree, of course.
