A breakdown of Fox News' ratings, hour-by-hour, in comparison to CNN and MSNBC's. Particularly indicative of their recent slump and their opponents' surge:

An on-air resignation from Jenna Lee, another of the Shep Smith league of non-opinionated journalists.

Fox and Friends has a new studio. A much wider sofa area, a video wall, desk and a new soft interview area. Will post some caps later.

Looks like they're presenting from a cavernous deck on the Starship Enterprise. The white of the couches, desk and cupboards really washes out the set.

Fox tried to go futuristic, but this looks really stupid.

The whiteness of the added elements don't look good against the backdrop. I'm curious how long it takes the crew to break down the set and if they finally installed the proposed elevator to the second level of the set. The ring backdrop on the second floor looks neat - again curious how fast it's able to move.

I noticed Anna Kooiman who moved to Australia is now back at FNC reporting for Fox and Friends as their "Proud American" correspondent. OTT patriotism at it's best from the Trump network.

She's been in Australia for almost a year now

A new Lawsuit claims FOX NEWS created Fake News with the Trump White House in the alleged assassination/murder of a DNC staffer that allegedly stole and leaked Hillary Clintons emails. This is only a lawsuit, but its damaging to FNC's brand. The news of this lawsuit was first broken by PBS sister radio network NPR. This story is now making its rounds on the news channels.

What's the purpose of the two things that look like bedside tables either side of the desk? If they're meant to be hiding the lower regions of the people sitting at either end, they're not doing a great job.

Fox certainly doesnt try to hide lower regions of anyone. Ailes was adamant that the ladies wore short skirts and crossed their legs seductively presumably for ailes pleasure as well as the horny old guys that are FNC's audience. Probably just hold water bottles, or printers for scripts, the hosts bits and pieces, etc...., they seemingly have no purpose. I noticed those as well. Look silly. But im sure they arent to hide anything. LOL

Sky has a similar thing in the glass box. It's to the right of Kay in this pic from TV Live;
