Their ratings were down 10% in Feb. They continue on this path and they can count on this trend continuing.

FoxNews seems to be in a retro mode. They've been digging up some oldies from the 70s and 80s.

The powers that be seem only to want to be loved by the rest of the MSM.

They've joined forces with America's enemies and we can turn them OFF and not help them further that agenda.

The advantage of tivo with dual tuners comes to mind. But more and more lately, both tuners are somewhere else.

FOX used to be on here any time I was at home. Now, since 2004, I'm down to Special Report and long enough to see if I want to suffer through O"Reilly for a particular piece.

And don't you just LOVE how they give Greta spots their other shows to tell us about her show that nobody watches anyway.

Brit Hume is probably the best newscaster around. I really admire Fred Barnes, but honestly I do not get what is happening to FOX.

Marvin Kalb...just another reason why I've even given up on Fox News as a source of information.

If Fox News keeps this up, there will be real parity among the cable news networks - sooner than later!

Fair and Balanced, You Decide is what they pitch. They are not the RNCs propaganda tool, they are not responsible for putting out conservative talking points. But, by having both sides presenting the story it gives people a chance to decide for themselves what they want to believe. You simply don't get that anywhere else.

Frankly, that's all you can ask for.

There's only three anchors worth watching on Fox, anymore: Neil Cavuto, John Gibson, and Brit Hume.

...where he earned a masters degree in public policy.

Isn't that some sort of made-up BS degree?

Isn't Kalb about 80 years old now? I haven't heard his name in years. He's one of those "I thought he was dead" guys.

But, but wait. I thought Fox News was conservative? :)

I think it's too easy to forget the bad old day of the MSM. Remember, the "bi-partisan" panel of discussions? Five liberal lunatics, plus one liberal reporter, and then one RINO to balance out the panel.

I agree with others. I am not afraid of putting up my conservative ideas against the nut bags. Fair and balanced. As long as it truly remains that, we'll do just fine and so will FOX. Now, should they start to go squishy on us in order to appeal to the Manhattan and San Fransisco crowd, then all bets are off.

It's fine with me. It will help squash that phrase so well loved by the left---- "right-wing Fox News".

Those who idolize Kalb and those who might follow him to Fox will also be exposed to 'fair and balanced' and finally see that there are two sides to an issue.

Fox is in dire need of someone like Brit Hume to give the place a very vigorous house cleaning.

My candidates for a pink slip:

Sheepherd Smith
No'Reilly
Kalb
Wesley Clark

Of course there are more but this would be a good beginning and last but not least, WHERE IS LAURIE DHUE!!

Do they not understand what got them to the pinnacle of power in the news business?

It wasn't having a bunch of liberals on.
