Trump exposes Fox News bias against Conservatives
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/25/15 | Jeff Crouere

Posted on 09/25/2015 5:43:29 PM PDT by Sean_Anthony

Majority of Fox News commentators and guests seem to prefer anybody but Donald Trump. If this type of bias continues, it remains to be seen if conservatives, the backbone of their audience, will remain loyal to the network. Stay tuned

Ever since it was launched in 1996, Fox News has enjoyed an ever growing television audience. Talk show host Rush Limbaugh often promoted Fox News in the early years of the network, helping to establish the connection with conservatives across the country. In fact, thanks to Rush and others on talk radio, Fox News enjoyed tremendous ratings growth over the last 19 years.

Today, Fox News is the unquestioned ratings champion among cable news channels. One other factor determining ratings success has been the unpopularity of the left wing content being delivered by competitors such as CNN and MSNBC. Viewers interested in fair and balanced news coverage, as opposed to liberal indoctrination, have flocked to Fox News.

The problem is that Fox News, while not a liberal network, is unfriendly to true conservatives. For example, most Fox News hosts are either moderate or downright liberal. Their mid-day host, Shepard Smith, is clearly liberal on a wide variety of issues and just this week was insulting conservatives who have been critical of Pope Francis.

Can’t stand most talking head media type as most are liberals or centrists. And Fox News is moving left of center with their news and hostesses. I now watch Newsmax more than ever and like the conservative host Steve Malzberg. The man talks and acts like a conservative.

I finally gave up on FNC completely. Haven’t watched it in over two weeks. They’ve lost me.

I can still smell the first debate. Reeked so bad I could never go back.

They simply exposed themselves.

This is my third night of no Fox. Don’t miss it all. In fact I feel a lot calmer and not freaked out by turning it all off. I get my news online.

They never were conservative. All they did was present conservative, and even libertarian, viewpoints and juxtaposed it with the leftist POV.

I stopped watching network news and CNN immediately after election day 2000. I haven't watched Fox News for 3 or 4 years, they are essentially the same thing being dished up by the networks. Look elsewhere for news.

We have ROKU, now, and I don’t regret watching FOX. They are the ‘Carl Rove Channel’.

I can watch them online for FREE if I want.

LOL....Loved this....

The network consistently uses a variety of stale analysts who routinely criticize Trump. Supposed experts such as George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Brit Hume and Karl Rove are card carrying members of the GOP establishment who see Trump as a threat.

STALE is right!!

For years, I have railed against Faux News for being closet liberals, as evidenced by their love of McLame and Romney (and their unjustified hatred of Palin). It is good to see that more and more conservatives are realizing the network as the sham that it is. Soon enough, only people who work at Media Matters will be watching that lousy ‘news’ channel.

Fox News isn’t that conservative (Bush Republicans), but Trump doesn’t expose anything there since he’s a leftist democrat running as a Republican. He sucks worse than Jeb.

Fox News is being paid by The Cheap Labor Express to convince Americans to vote for their amnesty candidates.

About 2 years since I cut the cable too. Now if I were offered my former cable tv package -about $80/mo- in exchange for the Roku/Netflix setup I use now, I would refuse. Besides being a ripoff, cable tv sux.

When foxnews radio comes on during Rush, I turn it off. I feel like foxnews is vomiting their agenda on me.
