No Chance Of Failure
Fox News have had many candidates who could have easily taken over for The O’Reilly Factor, however, they wanted someone familiar, someone in-house. They responded to allegations of favoritism by stating that Fox doesn’t believe in letting their “talent” fail. By choosing insiders over a high-profile outsider, Fox News instantly reduced the possibility that an anchor wouldn’t “take” with their loyal audience. So basically they replaced O’Reilly with Carlson because they knew it was a smart business decision. It didn’t matter what Fox News said though, people were still pissed. They didn’t accept that this was the reason for Carlson’s promotion.
