FOX is committing suicide right before our very eyes. We have moved to OAN for the daily news, Tipping Point, and Ledger. We only do FBN anymore for Charles Payne, Lou Dobbs, and FOX for Tucker, and Hannity, and weekends Judge Jeanine. Once in awhile we catch Gutfeld, but rarely.

FOX isn’t a conservative news network anymore.

They never were, they just Sold Conservative analysis. Now they are just showing their true colors as two bit whores like the rest, destined to destroy Civilized Society based on morals and virtue.

I agree. I never understood why they had to have liberals on their network. I hate the discussion panels with all the idiots yelling at each other, too.

We viewer told FOX NEWS we made them #1 and we can break them from being #1...and it is being done.. Viewers are speaking LOUD AND CLEAR.

Justice with Judge Jeanine is one of the best shows remaining on Fox.

Something tells me your a troll here..or a Never Trumper, did you support that McMuffin strange character, just wondering.

Fox’s format is more like tabloid MSM every year. Panels of four or five people screaming at each other. Dems blurting out the most obscene and vicious lies with nobody calling them on it. They’re trying too hard to be cute, when all we really want is the news.

Surprised Carlson is not doing better. One of the few good shows left.


The problem I have with his show is all the talking over of each other. The debate format has been fun for awhile, but it’s starting to wear thin with all the cacophony.

Gee..you fire your #1 rated TV personality in the name of advancing your political agenda, and your ratings drop?

Who would have ever thunk it?

</shocked!>

Tom, the Fox news side is unwatchable.

We are strictly FOX Business news, now. Varney, Trish Regan, and the late afternoon crew are great. Capped off with the best jaws of them all, Lou Dobbs for evening. Who needs anything more?

Would love to see the ratings for the FOX Business channel. Increased ratings for the Business side would give the “See ya!’” story to the goofy Murdochs. Done with FOX and Martha and Chris Wallace, the Dana Purina dogs and all of them.

Sean and Tucker are laborious, talk, talk, talk over their low rung guests. Give me Lou.

Quit watching fox when a preponderance of lip beaters started to appear both as employees and more as unopposed guests.

A prefect description of the new afternoon show "Specialists". That thing is a complete disaster. I know it is not on in prime time, but its very existence is testimony to how badly Fox has screwed itself.

OTOH, I am very much a fan of the Carlson show. No one is better at pointing out the pomposity and inconsistencies of your average Liberal. If in fact he interrupts, it's necessary to get them to quit spouting talking points and explain what they mean.
