Switching Sides

August 31, 2017 Blind Gossip

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] This newsy person at a liberal news channel has been making quiet inquiries into moving over to a conservative news network.

[They are asking for their] own, one-hour show and a few million more a year than their current job.

It is unclear whether they are planning to “switch sides” and suddenly declare themselves a conservative (which would be surprising)… or if they are planning to remain a liberal and believes that the conservative network would air a show that espouses a liberal point of view (which would be also be surprising).

    This has to be Wolfe Blitzer, wanting to move from CNN to FOX.

    Newsy Guy: Brian Williams

    Liberal Network: MSNBC

    Conservative Network: Fox News

    He might have thought he would get an improvement from his 11PM time slot when it looked like Lawrence O’Donnell’s contract would not be renewed.

    Just a negotiating ploy anyway.

    I’m going to guess Willie Geist of MSNBC. He’s on Morning Joe (ties to the related blind) and he got a raw deal from the Today Show, essentially getting moved out to make room for Billy Bush. I’m sure he had his eye on Matt Lauer’s job and it doesn’t look like he’s getting that any time soon, despite his likeability and talent.

    I’m guessing he’s aiming for FOX, since they could use some new faces after the events of the past couple years.

    Newsy Guy: Anderson Cooper

    Liberal Network: CNN

    Conservative Network: FOX

    [Optional] Should the conservative network hire them? I hope so! I like him.

    This screams Anderson Cooper to me for some reason. CNN to maybe Fox?

  9. KCeagle says

    Anderson Cooper?
    CNN is the liberal network
    FOX – the conservative network
    OR
    Thomas Roberts
    MSNBC- liberal network
    FOX – the conservative

    Thomas is under appreciated and not given his due props as a top anchor/news guy. Maybe because he’s so handsome, it becomes a liability and gives Roberts a “HIMBO” vibe.
    If this blind is about Cooper, MEH already. A.C. is overrated, over exposed and I’m so over him! Both men are openly gay and xenophobic FOX needs to mix it up.

    Fox has actually had more than a few liberal hosts so I think this is the destination. Maybe Joe of morning Joe wants to hear there. He started as a GOP congressman

    Rachel Maddox MSNBC ????

  12. algarve2016 says

    August 31, 2017 at 8:40 pm

    Anderson Cooper
    CNN
    Fox News

    I think it would be smart for Fox to hire him. I think they would get more out of the deal than he would. I really love Anderson, and despite my answer here, I hope this isn’t him!

  13. AnotherNic2Remember says

    Anderson Cooper? I don’t think he is “changing sides.” I do however think he realizes how far CNN has fallen in the eyes of the public. Fox is more middle of the road then it used to be now that the Murdoch sons are running the outlet.

    • parkland45 says

      Fox more middle of the road? I don’t think so.

    Newsy Guy could be Anderson Cooper.
    Liberal network : CNN
    Conservative network FOX
    Fox would probably hire him. There are liberals and Independents at Fox which is why I like it. Lots of feisty debates that are pretty fair and balanced. I think Cooper would do fine there.

  15. lilmama says

    August 31, 2017 at 6:55 pm

    Anderson Cooper
    CNN
    Fox
    Great idea! Anderson is likable and level-headed. Maybe he could bring some peace between the dems and republicans. Love it!

  16. GretaGuesses says

    August 31, 2017 at 6:45 pm

    Rachel Madcow? I think she’s BSNBC’s highest rated show, so I could see her making a move to Fox, who reportedly pays more. I could see Fox hiring her too. Another possibility is Tamron Hall. At one point it was rumored that Anderson Cooper was flirting with moving to Fox, but he gets more than an hour on CNN, so I don’t know if he would really move.

    I don’t care much whether Fox hires him or her. I think Fox has gone downhill since Murdoch’s sons took over.

    Chris Cuomo
    CNN
    Fox News

    • LAJuice says

      September 1, 2017 at 4:25 pm

      the clue “conservative news network” creates the acronym “CNN”- so I am guessing the network they are leaving is CNN
      leaving for Fox
      and the “NewsyGuy” has to be that Jeff Lord turd.

    • MinnieMe says

      September 1, 2017 at 5:52 pm

      Cuomo? Hah! He’d never get a show on Fox unless the Fox takeover is in full swing.

  19. MikeInSanJose says

    August 31, 2017 at 6:02 pm

    Chuck Todd from NBC to Fox
    or
    Chris Matthews from MSNBC to Fox

    • aaaFiggy says

      September 1, 2017 at 2:11 pm

      I would cry if Chuck Todd went to Fox. They can have Chris Matthews.

    Joe Scarbough
    MSNBC
    Fox
    Still will not watch

  21. invisible_llama says

    Anderson Cooper move from CNN to Fox?

  22. gossipzillaisback says

    Newsy Guy: Rachel Maddow (I know, not a guy, but the blind item is phrased to be gender-neutral after all).

    Liberal Network: MSNBC

    Conservative Network: Fox? What else?

    [Optional] Should the conservative network hire them? No, Fox’s viewers would not like to watch her and see their perceived reality fall apart. The ratings would not be good.

    • amagod121 says

      September 1, 2017 at 12:06 pm

      Why would their perceived reality fall apart? You could just as easily state that Rachel’s liberal audience’s perceived reality would fall apart if she left.
