Wow, it's almost like her book and attempts to criticize GOP-types were part of a campaign over the last year to broaden her appeal and get out of the Fox News swamp for higher broadcast prominence.

curiuous about the money she got.. her book coming out with a bunch of 'news' in it after the damn election hopefully hurt her scheme to get rich as fuc.

seems to me like her appeal was so tied to being on fox news - it's so easy to stand out on fox news as a moderate who rebels against the network, whereas on any other channel she's gonna be just another idiot.

An amusement:
Gabriel Sherman's latest story:
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/04/is-a-management-shake-up-looming-at-fox-news.html
As Fox News is roiled by lawsuits and the ouster of Bill O’Reilly, the network’s co-president Bill Shine has retained the backing of the Murdochs. On Monday, Rupert Murdoch took network co-presidents Shine and Jack Abernethy to lunch at Marea, a seafood restaurant near Fox’s midtown headquarters — a highly public show of support. But privately, Shine is expressing concern about his future at the network. According to three sources briefed on the conversations, Shine has told friends he recently asked Rupert’s sons James and Lachlan — the CEO and co-chairman, respectively, of network parent company 21st Century Fox — to release a statement in support of him, but they refused to do so. The sources said Shine made the request because of withering press coverage of Fox News in recent weeks. A source added that Shine has privately complained that Rupert “isn’t fighting for him” in the press, which is why he wanted explicit support from the sons.

A tweet in response to Sherman's tweet sharing this:
Gäbe i pray this is NOT true because if it is, that's the total end of the FNC as we know it. Done.
The identity of the tweeter and his sounding desperate is a roffle. And yes he did include the umlaut.

Why, it turns out said tweeter is on a tear:
Somebody HIGH UP AND INSIDE FNC is trying to get an innocent person fired. And Gabe I KNOW WHO it is.

The U.S. Justice Department's investigation of Fox News has widened to include a second law enforcement agency.Financial crimes experts from the United States Postal Inspection Service are now involved, according to four sources connected to the investigation.Mail fraud and wire fraud cases are part of the USPIS purview.Investigators from both the USPIS and the Justice Department have been conducting interviews in recent weeks -- including with some former Fox staffers -- to obtain more information about the network's managers and business practices, the sources said.

A little more:
n February the investigation was reported to be focusing on settlements made with women who alleged sexual harassment by former Fox News boss Roger Ailes, and questions about whether Fox had a duty to inform shareholders about the settlement payments.The investigators have been asking "how the shareholder money was spent; who knew; and who should have known," one of the sources said.But, CNNMoney has learned, the settlement payments are not the only thing they are examining.Investigators have been probing possible misconduct by Fox News personnel and asking questions about the overall environment at the network.Investigators have also been asking questions about mysterious confidants of Ailes -- people who were known inside Fox as "friends of Roger."Ailes, through Fox News, employed a number of longtime friends as consultants, for purposes that remain unknown. One of the consultants earned $10,000 a month by submitting a monthly invoice to Fox.
