“As a life-long registered Republican and member of the NRA, blah, blah, yada, yada, huminuh, huminuh...”
Me, too........I was soooo disappointed I have stopped watching obsessively and hardly ever listen to Rush, Hannity and others anymore.......except Mark Levin.......
I have to admit the same. Nothing they have on is very important to me anymore.
If you’re a writer for soap operas get a new line of work. :-)
You haven’t missed much. Feigned outrage light. Oh, Bill O’Reilly has come out as a gun grabber supporting registration and limits (stealing) on “assault weapons”.
Yeah, when Fox made the call for Obama during election night, Mom ran to the bathroom to throw up. George Noory is OK but no one can be Art Bell. Art Bell well, is Art Bell, he had his own way of doing things. If he knew he was being BSed by a caller or guest, he had the knack to keep things going by handing them the rope to hang themselves. He also knew what questions to ask plus every once in a while he talked about amateur radio as well. I’ve been in contact with Art Bell as well as a fan group on Facebook and there was a deal he might be coming back to radio buy not just yet.
Ditto.
Hannity is like a broken record, O’Reilly researches nothing on his own and takes everything from his staff as gospel. Only watch him when Miller is on.
I now find Greta to be the easiest to watch.
Would watch The Five more often, but anything with Beckel is an instant channel turner.
Same here. After Megyn was giddy with excitement over Zero’s reelection, I realized it’s all just a game to them, and they are not even close to being one of “us.” Stopped watching them after the election. They can ALL go to he!! as far as I’m concerned.
I sympathize with you, but
Why is this ‘news’, and in the News thread?
I too have pretty much dropped the Fox News Channel. They were very quick to call obama the winner, and seemed more pleased with it than anything.
I do spend a lot more time on FreeRepublic getting all the news that is fit to print.
Freudian Mike Wallace, huh? Since 12/2/12. Pretty chatty post. Hmm...
Used to watch it, daily. Cannot stand Beckel and Rove.
Since Sarah ditched FauxNews there's no need to watch, anymore.
Opus much?
The secret of FNC's success is the fact that it actually makes an attempt to be, all together now: 'fair and balanced'. That isn't always possible but they try. However, were Fox News really conservative, as it's leftist critics claim, it would never be as successful as it is now. Just as MSNBC, which is down-the-line liberal gets small ratings, a Fox News network that trumpeted conservative values and only allowed conservative commentators and guests to appear would do better than MSNBC, I'm sure, but not as well as they do now, leading the cable news networks on a regular basis.
The reality is that Fox News is a business, not a subsidized right-wing mouthpiece that we could all agree with all the time. Besides, judging from the tone of some posts on FR, there are always those who find some politician, commentator, etc as 'not conservative enough' or 'wrong' on some issue or other. I'm happy to have Fox News. Not because they are so very conservative - they are not. I'm happy to have a TV news outlet that isn't 100% leftist all the time. Fox News may not toe the conservative ideological line for many but it's still welcome in my home because I understand what it is and do not put unrealistic expectations on it just because liberals rant and rave about how 'right-wing' the network is....only in their echo chamber.
However, complaining is easy and for some, enjoyable so those who find FNC 'too liberal' can certainly ignore them. Somehow, I suspect they'll survive just fine, offering a mild contrast to the left-wing rubbish we get on the rest of the (supposed) 'news' networks.

Were you looking for Bagel street while wearing a Susquahana hat?

True fact, most people don’t care if you watch or not.
Welcome to FR.
You do know that her quitting Fox was her choice, right? It wasn't 'the bosses' it was her choice.
I am still bitter over the election and haven’t watched that much news, period. All the talking heads are still getting their big paychecks at Fox News, so I don’t see the election impacting them much. A stupid electorate will do what it does best, vote stupidly, so a fat lot of good all the conservative talk out there is doing. I don’t even know what Rush has been saying these days.
