"According to multiple Fox sources, Ailes has issued a new directive to his staff: He wants the faces associated with the election off the air — for now. For Karl Rove and Dick Morris — a pair of pundits perhaps most closely aligned with Fox’s anti-Obama campaign — Ailes’s orders mean new rules. Ailes’s deputy, Fox News programming chief Bill Shine, has sent out orders mandating that producers must get permission before booking Rove or Morris."… thus finally answering the question: What does it take to embarrass Fox News?

Multi-format: news and nearly all local talk. This is where classic KIRO AM news talk radio went... hopefully, not to die. The home of Dave Ross & Luke Burbank, Dori Monson, Ron & Don, Frank Shiers, Bill Radke, Linda Thomas, Tony Miner and George Noory. - KUOW FM 94.9

Visit the burnt-out husk of one of the seminal right-wing talkers in all the land. Here's where once trilled the reactionary tones of Rush Limbaugh, John Carlson, Kirby Wilbur, Mike Siegel, Peter Weissbach, Floyd Brown, Dinky Donkey, and Bryan Suits. Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear. - KTTH am 770 KHz
Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze. - KPTK am 1090 KHz
Syndicated liberal talk. Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Norman Goldman fill in the large hole to the left on Northwest radio dial. - KLFE AM 1590 kHz

Once a rabid right-wing talker, except for Lou Dobbs, it's all business....
The thing is, since whatever Dick Morris says is wrong, how will we know what the truth is on FOX News without Dick Morrris to tell us what the opposite of truth is.

It seems as if FOX News is doing on TV what was suggested in a post that followed this. They are not going to bore us with 24/7 Obama bashing no matter what a piss poor excuse for a President he is.
Roger Ailes did not get where he is being an idiot.

Now if Fox could only have some influence about getting rid of Boehner as Speaker of the House and replace him with an outsider (which is constitutionally legal). I don't see Fox playing that role in reality, but something needs to be done or else a one-party government could be looming. That would be bad news for all including the leftists who focus on intentions but seldom if ever pay any attention to unintentional consequences.
Make it Mike Huckabee, Chris Christie or maybe even Scott Walker as the new Speaker of the House - in other words someone who is articulate and capable of thinking outside of the box.
Also, the GOP needs to get rid of these consultants like Mike Murphy, Rove and probably Morris who sponge off the the RNC and produce mediocre results - the party needs to wise up or else the GOP faces extinction after 2016.
