FR Op Ed: Has Fox News flushed their credibility?
Free Republic Editorial ^ | September 2, 2015 | Me

Posted on 09/02/2015 12:23:40 PM PDT by AAABEST

Et Tu Bret Bair? Most of us had been under the impression that he had journalistic ethics. Baier was considered one of the few at Fox who could actually pull off straight news. However we now discover that he had a pre-planned strategy, with an actual script, aimed at physically ejecting Trump from the debate. This proves that the Fox back room had it in for Trump before the debate dust-up where Megyn Kelly tried – and painfully failed - to make a name for herself by using her role as moderator to portray Trump as a misogynist.

The Baier story comes on the heels of the Breitbart report that Ailes wants to "save the country" from Trump. Yes, the chief of the “fair and balanced” news organization declares he wants to pick off the most popular grass roots GOP candidate to emerge in years.

Frank Luntz, who pretends to be an agnostic pollster, goes on a "f--- you" tirade against Trump. Incidentally, Trump had turned down a business solicitation from Luntz.

Then there was the day last week when nearly every single Fox host in lockstep admonished Trump using airtime to engage in various “leave poor Kelly alone” rants. The list of those who were inspired ad/or encouraged to make their opinions known includes but is not limited to Sean Hannity, Bill Hemmer, Jedediah Bila, Brian Kilmeade, Bill O'Reilly, Shep Smith and Bret Baier. Nearly every known personality on Fox participated in the obvious choreography. It seems that Roger Ailes "rising star" (his words) isn't really a big girl (her words) after all.

Other blatant Trump assassins include George Will, Charles Krauthammer and Bush imp Dana Perino. Fox CEO announced that would like to see Michael Bloomberg as president.

Obviously, the question in the title is rhetorical, but I’m not pretending to be “fair and balanced.” Fox news is.

yes they have.

It is also transparent to anyone but a low information voter that FNC and FBC are in a take down trump quest.

I used to have Fox News on several hours per day. Since the August 6 debate I’ve been mostly avoiding them.

Maybe OAN will find some deep pocket investors and challenge Faux
News on a national scale.

You hadn’t noticed already that FNC is delivering the news to you by way of liberals and homosexuals? They’ve been marching leftwards for 15 years - it started with the sexualization of news anchors and went downhill from there.

The void in the news spectrum that they made their name filling - conservative-oriented news and viewpoints - is once again a void.

I despise the “Jeb News Channel.” Try this experiment: Don’t watch any Fox News for a month. Then tune them in again. Your first thought will be: “ I can’t believe I watched this moronic crap everyday.”

I have NEVER watched FNN. A FReeper YEARS ago opined that it was way, way too liberal.. I took his/her advice.

Heb!, maybe you can pull a George Step-n-fetch-it-poulis and get a job there as a political “commentator” after you FAIL to get the GOPe nomination.

Better yet, and your pygmy wife can start a restaurant selling pygmy-size tacos and burritos. Your logo could be a pic of a pig and you. Get it? Pig - me...!!!

Do they have highly educated people there?

What are their degree levels?

High education = high indoctrination. And it sticks.
