Here is another compelling reason to watch Fox News and learn facts about what is actually happening in the world that will affect your life.
This is a partial list of liberal, mostly hard left people who are, or have been on Fox News. Some of these are on regularly, some multiple times daily and a surprising number are paid Fox News contributors or even employees (like Bob Beckel). The majority are hard left people. They all make their living (usually a very good one) being on the left:

OK, surely you are convinced that FOX NEWS is “fair and balanced”?
NPR and others suggest it is a conflict of interest for Trump to make appointments to the NLRB.
The NLRB has been a problem for thousands of employers and employees for years. Presumably Trump will appoint people who will give relief to all and who will not torture the interpretation of the law to achieve union institutional interests and let the agency be used to harass employers. NLRBs institutional biases have been a problem even under Republican appointed boards. The statute was written in contemplation of conditions of the 1930s which no longer exist. It has been extended to enterprises for which it was neither designed nor intended and which have no significant impact on inter-state commerce. Even the best appointments will not cure the problems.
It is past time for extensive statutory amendment or, preferably, a new statute. The constant swinging back and forth on issues leaves all parties confused and unsure what is lawful. The law is overly complex and counter intuitive, causing well meaning employers to get caught up in ruinous litigation. Many cannot afford appeals of decisions they know to be erroneous, in part because of the NLRBs arrogant practice of ignoring court precedent with which it disagrees.
It is absurd to think President Trump would try to or even could single out his businesses for special treatment. His businesses deserve the same relief all employers hope to receive from a union owned NLRB. Even if he didn’t like the vote of a NLRB member, NLRB members are protected by a 5 year term and can be removed only by impeachment for misconduct.
This is just another example of the endless, petty, intellectually dishonest sniping NPR has engaged in since Trump was nominated.
Hopefully, congress will drop the CPB’s government subsidy and tax exempt status. Why should taxpayers be forced to help fund this adjunct of the Democrat Party/ liberal/left? Let people who like them place ads or contribute to their begging campaigns. Government funding of “news and commentary” is repugnant.
