That’s the first I’ve heard of George Will’s demise. I hope it’s true. As for the inauguration, I watched Fox news all day and evening. People who call them Faux News while refusing to watch are letting the perfect drive out the good. If you think you’re a conservative while preferring to watch CNN or MSNBC over Fox, there’s something wrong with your head. It’s like thinking there is some right=winged virtue in snubbing FR for DU.

I don’t have cable but I read on twitter that conservatives are disappointed in McCallum.

IMHO she is much better on the morning show.

There are probably a few that should be spending their time over at DU . . . at least they share the same vocabulary.

Some study or other indicated that people who are foul-mouthed tend to be more honest than those who are not.
Maybe so. But they don’t come off as very intelligent.

I watched it mostly on FBN, and shared Lou Dobbs’ and Stuart Varney’s glee and happiness. Plus, Lou kept getting in digs at the “left-wing media,” which was delightful.

We don’t have TV, I watched on various live streams all day. I don’t know if they add those up.

Even Mike Wallace wasn't as blatantly anti-Trump on inauguration day - the honchos must have put the word out to sit on their thumbs to minimize the squirming as some of them had to try to look fair and balanced.

"Outnumbered" and "The Five" are two of my favorites these days.

Fox coverage wasn’t too bad, but the constant “peaceful transition of power” repetition got a little played as masked `rat/Soros thugs were trashing the capitol.

Watched FOX all day except during "The Five".

Watched C-SPAN for that hour.

are any Freepers beginning to turn to Fox again?

I watched all of the Inauguration on Fox Business. I find myself watching FBN much more than the Fox News. I just don't like the new personnel that Fox News now have, prefer Fox Business.

Without a doubt Cavuto wins the time slot.
