I wondered, when I saw Murdoch being pilloried in London about the "reporting scandal", if that was the message to Murdoch to get in line or else.

Fox boomed because they already had the right half the viewing public to themselves, and that left the other broadcasters to split the left half between them.

If Fox shifts left, then they lose their advantage and that opens the door for others. Beck is taking his shot, and more power to him. I don’t know why others can’t do the same.

The current crop of news agencies is so poor that Al Jazeera even looks good compared to them.

In the age of cable and internet TV (which is beginning to unfold) this is the time. Maybe we should start FR-TV.

I quit watching FOX about 20 years ago (shortly after it debuted). All network news is spin, propaganda, and agenda-driven personality-cult claptrap. Find a good cartoon show to watch, instead. You’ll probably get more information. I recommend Phineas and Ferb, for beginners.

FNC jumped the shark a long time ago. It’s filled with liberal castoffs from other propaganda organizations. Why they hire these bums is beyond me unless corporate suicide is their objective.

Other than Cavuto or their business channel they are just another liberal gab fest.

On occasion I will watch their top of the hour news and that is about it as their other programing quality has dropped off to “it’s close enough for government work” standards and working for the government is what they are about it seems.

It would be nice to see a news organization who just gave me the news and didn’t have reporters having orgasms over political candidates or parties.

This last election did it for us. We hardly ever watch Fox News. We get all our news online.

Can these alleged “Conservatives” do basic math?

According to the Pew Hispanic Center:

(1) First generation Hispanic-Americans vote 80% for the Democrat Party.

(2) Fourth generation Hispanic-Americans vote 60% for the Democrat Party.

For some perspective, 18 years ago there were progressives pushing to restrict legal immigration. Corporate news is pro-open borders.

My wife finally convinced me what a phony “crooked nose” Megyn Kelly is. But the straw breaking was when she sashayed across the stage on election night. That would have made my “nana” throw up.

And I haven’t listened or watched Hannity in a long time. They’re all phony as hell.

Any [non-RINO] conservative already knew this for quite some time. I know I've known it for the past few years. To me "FoxNews" has finally evolved into just another "MSN Mouthpiece Lite"
