Has Cruz been treated any better by FOX?

This isn’t just about Trump.

I haven’t noticed Cruz being treated any better. He certainly wasn’t treated better in the debate.

This is about FOX pretending to be something they are not and trying to force another RINO on us.

Cruz and Trump are presidential candidates. If they can't stand up to a hostile media they have no business being in the race.

Advocating we tune in CNN and/or MSNBC as an alternative is insanity. While they may be more kind to lifelong liberal Donald Trump, do you believe those liberal networks will treat a conservative like Cruz any better?

Sorry, still not going to boycott Fox. I’ll watch if I like.

"This reminds me of the FReeper who said he watched MSNBC and Al Jazeera, both were more "fair and balanced" than FNC. He also said Rachel Maddow was easy on the eyes, easier than Megyn Kelly."

That happened very recently. I responded to the poster that it must surely be sarcasm. He didn't answer, and no one else called him out on it...in fact, one person took issue with me for doing so, LOL.

More republican voters watch FOX thinking FOX is more on their side.

It is not about candidates being able to stand up to a hostile media. It is about TV viewers standing up. FOX is the one trying to push another rino on republican voters.

The goal isn’t to shut Fox news down - it is a show of power, like ringing the phones off their hooks in DC. Giving msnbc or cnn a momentary rise in the ratings doesn’t guarantee they will stay there, and if they do, who cares? If just avoiding fox still maintains their first place, what is that?

I don’t really understand how it works, but I am going to try this ... It’s time to send a message about how much clout the conservatives have ...

I don’t want to promote CNN or MSNBC. I don’t watch any of them, not FOX, not CNN or MSNBC. I want them all to go away.

“On Dish Network there is a fairly new, news channel. NewsMax, channel 223.”

On DirecTV, Newsmax is channel 349. It’s not all news, but maybe they’re starting small and working up to that. A ton of documentaries. We also like Steve Malzberg. JD Hayworth is good sometimes.

I wonder why you chose to read the thread?

Take names. Watch the same people who want us to remain faithful pro faux news will tell us next November, not voting for Jeb or Christie is a vote for Hillary. After many years being a Freeper ( not sure when I joined but it’s been over a decade) some come claiming to be true conservatives, berating those who are true conservatives. Don’t know if they’re RNC paid or volunteer.

Anyone who think’s FNC is a “conservative” channel is sadly mistaken.

And if you doubt me, watch this week’s edition of “Fox News Sunday.”

The last straw for me was the rental (forced) of a digital box and remote to operate the thing....that and the 11-13 dollar a month tax for fed / state/and freeloaders....what was the cherry on top was financing f’kin Al jezeera...if your basic package has that you are supporting towel head sand N______. go exclusive with broadband and get your own modem....less than 400-500 ayear total with NO TAXES at all.....I will gladly give you sites that will get you TV/movies/Live sporting events WORLD wide with no downloads of any sort.....speak with your feet and wallet...let these few who manipulate the media suck it....e-mail this account privately if you want 3-5 sites for FREE tv and sports...

What on earth would we do if a plane went missing and there was no CNN and it’s crack aviation experts?

Agreed. I have a desk job and can listen to Trumps speeches on Youtube. He may not be a Conservative but he speaks to me as an American. That works just fine for me.

Go Trump!

Given the same amount of time, would switching back and forth between CNN and a movie or a sports channel have the same/better/less desired effect as keeping only CNN on the entire time?
