DefCon:
FOX SNOOZE
Perhaps like many of you, I was a big fan of Fox News. Not so much for the past couple of years. If you remember, years ago, “Hannity and Colmes” was a popular show. Colmes was an aggravating liberal, I’d turn down the volume when he blathered on. When Fox got rid of Alan Colmes, that made the programming that much more enjoyable.
I still like several of the Fox programs and hosts. A lot of the morning programming is OK. Also, the Prime Time lineup is good. Tucker is killing it ratings-wise. The summer has been filled with news about protests, violent riots, and election politics, and people are turning to FOX News primetime more than anything else.
Not just other cable news channels, but all of TV. That’s right, Fox News was the most-watched channel on all of American television over the summer of 2020. Conservative viewers are loyal, and the ratings show the type of programming that America is turning to. WILL FOX TAKE NOTE AND GO BACK TO IT’S CONSERVATIVE ROOTS?

Ok, this is a low blow to a dead dude, but Alan Colmes looked like a turtle.
I don’t have much of an opinion on fox, except my feeling is generally negative. I have a teevee, but I don’t turn it on very often. US Open is this weekend, if anyone wants to know what’s going on there you can call me. I’ll be watching that. Weather and air conditions are not so good so I can watch and not feel like I am missing anything.
Colmes?? LOL, those were the good ol’ days.
My trusty remote takes care of those FOX liberals, they shut right up.
Note to ALL journalists: you are NOT the news.
Your job is to give us the news. Without your opinions, omissions, or spin.
Otherwise you are of no value.
Fox News may not be the bright beacon that stands against all of the other media, but it still remains head and shoulders above the other stations.
I wish it would be better, but it still better.
They can’t go back to their roots. Those roots are owned by Soros and China now, and have become shallow and nearly lifeless. Any outlet that will not allow criticism of Soros, is controlled by Soros. To discover who rules over you, find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
Hat tip to Rupert Murdoch.
The Aussie from down under is the one media mogul brave enough to bring truth to the airwaves.
Brett Bair, Neil (Fu&&in) Cavuto, and Juan Williams can go.
Tucker be the best and Greg/Tyrus and pals (the Five) is excellent.
I quit watching maybe five years ago – not enough substance for me anymore.
No, they won’t. The Murdoch boys, doctrinaire libs that they are, are fine with things being as they currently are. If they really DID care, Biotchy Brazile & Worthless Juan would’ve been gone YEARS ago.
Fox News has had knee-jerk liberals in their ranks for a long time. There was a particularly irritating radio reporter that would close every update with Fox’s trademark, “Fair and balanced,” in the most mocking tone possible.
The local Fox affiliate is aggressively liberal (they are the ones who refused to use Crowder’s exclusive about Antifa planning armed violence at a Ben Shapiro event at the U of U), but so are all the other local television stations.
Just like with big tech and education, the market for hires in journalism is flooded with fully indoctrinated sheeple, with their preferred pronouns on their business cards.
In the year 3535
Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, and say
Is on the channel you watch today
I only watch FOX if there’s a video of Tucker Carlson, Bartiromo, or Judge Pirro. But not ON Fox.
Honestly, don’t care for the network. Quit watching around 2009ish.
Rino rat paul ryan is on the fox board. What more do you need to know?
only watch Carlson & occasional Guttfeld, if I can catch him on the weekend nights
She Who Must Be Obeyed still watches the morning stuff & the Jive At Five … I frankly can’t stand Whine Williams & that insipid Perrino … & the vapid Mr. Jessie Hairdo isn’t clever enough to find his way out of a wet paper bag …
only fun in watching that crap is to see Mr. Guttfeld grow increasingly more irritated each day … if he left, that crapstorm would crumble
It was supposed conservative Melissa Francis who shushed Newt on Soros. Harf just jumped on the bandwagon.
Whoever wrote that article should at least attribute the quotes correctly.
The only thing that might possibly drive FOX back to its conservative roots is a drop in viewership. But too many of their viewers are frogs being slowly boiled.
With only so much time to absorb the daily flood of news I don’t waste it on the mostly useless sensationalism served up by Fox.
There’s just too many rich sources of useful information available.
The conventional news platform is dying, time to move on.
When they brought Donna Brazile on board, I jumped ship.
“When Fox got rid of Alan Colmes”
And promptly replaced him with sometimes contributor Juan Williams with cameo appearances by Jehmu Green, Sally Kohn, jessica Tarlov, Marie Harf (twice) and now Donna Brazile who is a full time jerk, er contributor. Don’t forget Bill Kristol, Fred Barnes and Mort Kondracke and their circle jerk show.
Faux Nooz is an old hand at this, they’re just less clandestine about it now that’s all.
Look at all the flaming libtards being paid to appear on Fux; see any conservatives on CNN, ABC, CeeBS, or any other leftist media?
Nuff’ said.
I DVR The Five and fast forward to Greg.
