I tell you one thing

Ailes departure love him or hate him will drive Fox left

There is a battle at Fox now this very moment between The Murdoch boys who are liberals unlike dad who is establishment like GOPe and the staff heirs of Ailes

It ain’t purty and it’s why OReilly is MIA

OREILLY AINT MY CUP OF TEA EITHER BUT IF HES OUT AND MEGYN STAYS THEN FOX AS WE KNEW IT IS OVER

it’s a an effing mess

You can tell the pure newsreaders there are being ear fed and TelePrompTer fed anti Trump shit all day

On the balance Anderson Cooper treats Trump better or certainly no worse

There’s definitely an issue with the choice of moderators. These never Trumpers were working hard for Cruz. But, now that Cruz is out and the Republican nominee is Trump, their bias no longer makes sense nor is helpful to the Republican Party. They certainly can not want anything to do with Hillary!

So, at this point is it resentment that their tactics did not work to get Cruz as the nominee and they want to make Trumps life miserable for that reason?

You belong on STORM FRONT; NOT on FR!

You and the disgusting site you linked to are smarmy, idiotic, and foul!

And FWIW.....I can't stand Murdoch and also loathe his lefty sons.

This all illustrates how important the immigration issue truly is.
Our future depends on getting that issue under control.

Jane Long: "If you will recall, Reagan was a former Dem, too."

No comparison.
By the time Reagan ran for president in 1980 he'd been a Republican for decades, had worked tirelessly for conservative causes and had served two terms as the Republican governor of California (imagine that).

Trump has nothing remotely equivalent in his own background.

Jane Long: "Want to talk about cutting taxes, cutting spending, cutting..."

You may remember Texas Governor Perry got into big trouble last time, when he couldn't name the third Federal department he wanted to abolish?
I've never heard Trump name even one.
How conservative is that?

Jane Long: "Reagan Revolution meet the Trump Revolution.
No excuses for the tone. None needed."

Agreed.
I support Trump, but I don't delude myself into thinking he is the most conservative candidate to ever run.

xzins: "I disagree. I think over half are democrats."

So far as I can tell, none of their early show or Fox & Friends hosts are, nor are any of the daytime shows outside Shepherd Smith.
At noon their "Outnumbered" show normally features one liberal among three other conservative women.
By my count, so far, that's a dozen Republican & Trump-friendly hosts versus two anti-Trumpers.

In the afternoon & evenings, Cavuto is certainly conservative and did balk a bit at Trump, but would never suggest anyone vote for Hillary or a third party.
The Five except for Juan Williams are all conservative and Trump-friendly.
On this thread Bret Baier has been condemned as anti-Trump, but I think he is seriously and determinedly Fair & Balanced.
Greta is not a raging conservative, but has certainly been friendly to Trump on many occasions, as has O'Reilly.
Megan we could say is anti-Trump, but Hannity is now solidly pro-Trump.

So by my count, afternoons & evenings have, at most, three anti-Trumpers to eight others who are at worst neutral, and at best on the Trump team.

Of course there are many others who provide commentary & color including some on the Hillary team.
But that's what "Fair & Balanced" is all about, and without it Fox would lose far more viewers than it could afford.

Bottom line: I'd put it at three obviously pro-Trump or friendly-neutral for every one clearly anti-Trump at Fox News.

Like most of talk radio you voice your support for trump and spend most of your time denigrating him to others.

Trump will win this, in spite of your efforts and in spite of talk radio,

itsahoot: "Thanks Jane, Joe is beginning to sound like a propaganda stooge for FNC.
They are better than the other networks like losing one leg is better than losing two."

Nonsense, just trying to correct a heaping crock of lies being repeated here as if true.
You guys are disparaging Fox News far beyond what it deserves.
Again, the bottom line is: there is no other similar network even remotely as Trump-friendly as Fox.

So that's not "one leg", it's two and they are powerful running legs, regardless of they nonsense you spread about them.

Windflier: "Have you honestly reviewed Trump’s complete agenda? It’s the boldest conservative agenda anyone’s seen since 1980.
Some would argue that his agenda is even more conservative than Reagan’s, which I find hard to disagree with."

I certainly hope you're right.
And I hope I'm proved wrong in saying Trump is not as conservative as we would wish.

Sorry, but that's just insane crazy-talk.
Go take a shower, clean yourself up, get some exercise and clear out your head.

Then you'll be fit company for normal human beings again, FRiend.

battle of the biggies, like Trumps fortitude regardless of perfection, none of us are, but if he prays before making decisions in Jesus name to the God of Israel God will hear and direct us for his way..the most imminent danger the country is in now is from God Almighty, if we abandon Israel, we know longer have a charter with God.

History shows what that means...what we have and much worse..

"Its obvious even to this Cruz supporter( now Trump voter) that Fox has it out for Trump"

Then you're watching a different Fox.
In fact it has very few obviously anti-Trump hosts.

The real problem with Fox, from my perspective, is that so much of its time gets devoted to stories of little or no interest to me -- i.e., so-called human interest stories, they're fine up to a point but for me that point is, at most, one block an hour, not two or three.

Balding_Eagle: "Like most of talk radio you voice your support for trump and spend most of your time denigrating him to others."

If you consider hosts like Levin & Hannity, at least half their criticisms are directed at weak Republicans who bow & scrape before Democrats instead of asserting their principles & authority.

If Trump ever falls into the same category, they will blast him too.
Depend on it.

Balding_Eagle: "Trump will win this, in spite of your efforts and in spite of talk radio,"

Hopefully Trump will win, but the rest is just rubbish & nonsense.
The truth is that Trump has received and is receiving billions of dollars worth of "earned media" coverage from conservative radio and television outlets.

So your idea that nobody beside Balding_Eagle is out there beating the Trump drums is just nonsense.

In my fondest dreams it's a Trump blow-out along the lines of Reagan in 1980, but there are still 90% of "mainstream media" opposed, so as of today pretty much anything can happen.

twitchy? That’s michelle malkin. So she’s compromised too? Not terribly surprising.

Nothing is anymore when it comes to these things. It’s much quicker and easier to identify the people that ARE patriots than the rest of the cowardly herd.

You must not have fueled up with your Bowl of Stupid for breakfast this morning. That was unusually weak, even for you.

So here's some classic eye candy while you wait.

Its the content of the news they are covering...not the folks who make up the 5 or gutfeld or any of the other entertainment panels.

The straight news shows content is anti trump and moved hard that way as soon as Ailes was out
