Because males aren't foxes.
I started with Dish in ‘92 because Mile High Cable couldn’t keep their signal straight for more than a couple of hours. It became a game, taping their rotten signal. That was also when Fox News was new and before Dish carried it. I’ve been through one satellite slot, two satellite slots, three satellite slots, ups, downs, good and bad. I’ve had more Internet providers than I can count, including Hughes net.
One thing I have learned... When you are dealing with a service provider (middleman), in the long run you are going to pay more, get screwed and disappointed, and find out they are all pathetically poor. The only reason I keep Dish is because of the motor home.
Fox is good for being at least not pure lefty, great eye candy, and Bob Beckle being irritated. They’ll be back, we’ll pay more, and the cycle will rinse and repeat again in a few years, as it does with all of them.
There’s hardly ANYthing on TV that can’t be found FREE online -
I cut off my cable about 7 years ago - love the money in MY pocket.
I watch FOX and everything else online - and transfer to my big screen TV via a cable

Thank You :-)
I like the Doocy’s, both Steve and Peter. Neil Cavuto is still my favorite and I’ll tune in for Bret Baier’s news hour and some Greta Van Susteren. That’s about it.
Fox was on in my house every night, 4 years ago I quit, I’ve been there a few times since for breaking news. I don’t miss it at all, if you are away long enough you realize how far left they have moved, I’ve gotten so I can’t do fair and balanced anymore, the progressive talking heads just spew and that slants the average viewer’s perception of reality. Fox is part of the problem.
I don't know who Sharyl is, but the others are delivering emotion, not news.
I've got plenty of my own emotion, I don't need it with the news.
I think Greta has slipped since she moved her time-slot. She used to dig out and clarify information and now she seems vague.
Brian Kilmeade is an excellent host. He has a vast background knowledge. It is satisfying to listen when he gets a chance to speak on the topic.
Thanks for the link.
Haha! She would love that!
I start get One America network that good news it run by Wash times
> Both MSNBC and CNN are far more one-sided than I ever realized.
Wow, another recovering cranial-rectal-inversion patient.
I didn't get that impression. I can sort of understand it though.
1) Andy works in the media in New York, so he's not going to be very conservative on social issues like gay marriage. He's also not going to sound much like conservative Evangelicals who live in other parts of the country.
2) Snowden and the NSA come up on that show a lot. If Levy is talking Snowden up and government surveillance down, he's going to sound like a leftist, even though plenty of libertarians would agree with him.
3) There are utopian or maximalist libertarians who are keen on dismantling the welfare state and instituting laissez-faire, but a some libertarians live within the realm of what's considered politically possible in the real world. The maximalist program really doesn't come up much on the show, and I doubt it's very high on Andy's agenda.
I suspect he's like a lot of people who vote Republican but don't share the hope of some kind of restoration of an older order. That doesn't mean they're leftists, though.
The guy who supports gay marriage and opposes government surveillance is going to sound like a leftist to a lot of conservatives, but I doubt leftists are really going to recognize him as one of their own, since he doesn't subscribe to their economic program either.
I am, and have always been, a news junkie. Even in elementary school my favorite topic was current events, and Ive been active in politics my whole life. So, unlike most of the public, I relish the 24-hour news cycle.I was that way, until I saw the light back during the Carter Administration.
Regular network news is just as bad. In terms of the numbers of people they’ve lied to, brainwashed and corrupted, they’re even worse.
The biggest problem is accepting the premise that news—whether from a “24-hour cycle,” regular networks or cable—is an honest attempt to inform the public.
In truth, “the news” a deliberate attempt to deceive and manipulate the pubic. (I know you’re well aware of this, cic.)
It bears repeating, RiF.
