There is speculation that Fox News is slowly turning left, by dumping conservative/libertarian commentators like Glenn Beck, Eric Bolling, Judge Napolitano and hiring far-left folks like Jehmu Greene and Sally Kohn. Interesting.
If it is undergoing changes, it's likely just Rupert Murdoch trying to cover his azz. His "news" companies are already under the gun in the UK for illegal business practices and he, himself, might yet face criminal charges.
A baited banker thus desponds,
From his own hand foresees his fall,
They have his soul, who have his bonds;
'Tis like the writing on the wall.
-Jonathan Swift, The Run Upon the Bankers
It really all comes down to $$. Beck was an extreme right lunatic that was having companies left and right refusing to advertise on his show because of how insane he is. Towards the end all he had left were the "buy gold" commercials over and over and fox in house ads to fill the time slots.
Fox business's ratings are horrible and is likely trying to revamp the network in a desperate attempt to keep up with CNBC which dominates them.
Fox is trying to maintain its "Fair and balanced" position by presenting occasional dissenting guest commentators. For myself, I absolutely detest Colmes with his unyielding Marxist ideology, and dislike Beckel and do not watch "The Five" because of this dislike. Leslie Marshall is more center left and is tolerable, although seldom agree with her. Although no longer a regular, when Dr. Marc Lamont Hill shows up his brand of hip-hop socialist nonsense is infuriating. In the meantime, we have to tolerate the leftists that appear, many of them relative unknowns, give them a chance to present their views, and then, if we choose to do so, ignore them.

Bolling appears on Fox News Channel as a panelist on Bulls and Bears, airing Saturday mornings; as the host of the business hour on Foxnews.com Strategy Room at 3 pm; and as a panelist on the weekday show The Five. He hosted Follow The Money, formerly titled Money Rocks from 2010 through [3][1]February 2012, when FBN announced that it had canceled Follow the Money along with two other primetime shows. Political issues are prominent in his broadcasts and he is a contributor to the Foxnews.com opinion blog Fox Forum. He has also been a regular fill-in host on The Glenn Beck Program, The O'Reilly Factor and Fox and Friends.

Beckel makes the show worth watching, Dana Perino is fair most of the time, Greg Gutfeld is just
a wasted seat on the show, Bolling is an idiot RWNJ and Andrea Tantaros has great legs and is
strategically seated to show them off!
