Fox News Takes a Sharp Left Turn
The American Thinker ^ | 7-18-17 | Peter Barry Chowka

If any doubts remain that Fox News is continuing to serve from its conservative roots, they were removed on July 16, 2017 when...

This article is worth reading in its entirety. Much background here about Zeke Emmanuel, (author of Obamacare) and Jessica Tarlov. The description of her, with her annoying voice, is priceless! For some reason this site will not allow me to copy and paste this morning. Don't know if it is the fault of my computer, or my connection. Click on the link. It's a "must read".

Fox New Sunday has long been a Sunday tradition in this house. I would record it and watch it faithfully. But Chris Wallace’s sharp anti-Trump attitude SINCE the election has crossed this program off my list. His booking of Zeke Emmannuel this past Sunday just crossed this program off my list forever. I’ll continue to watch for his bookings, in case somebody interesting turns up, but I’ll always be on edge during the interview because I’ll expect Wallace to blab over them and not allow the guest to finish his sentences.

As for Tarlov, I just switch the channel every time she appears. Unfortunately, she is getting more and more “face time”.

A shame about FoxNews. From just a business stand point, what the Murdock kids are doing is really stupid. They had a captive audience of half the country who were underserved by the other fake news networks. So in order to kowtow to their wives’ political leanings and be well thought of at liberal parties, they decide to throw all of that away and compete with the other networks for the same exact audience that those others are already fighting over? I hope a new conservative network emerges.

Fox has been leaking leftist oil for a while—even before the election.

They are now totally unwatchable—broken down burning hulk.

my husband still watches in the AM, but we never watch in the PM anymore. We were not huge OReilly fans, but i noticed since his departure we never turn to the news now.

I never bought into the hype about Fox News in the first place. Sure, they were markedly more conservative than the rest of the mainstream media -- but then Stalin could probably say the same thing. And they had some interesting people on over the years.

But what really turned me off to Fox was when Dennis Prager had a show on there years ago. I always loved Prager on the radio, and considered him one of the most insightful, intelligent people anywhere in media. But on Fox, his show was a real downer much of the time -- and you could see that it was rife with the same sensationalism and sordid tabloid crap you'd come to expect from a Rupert Murdoch newspaper. I wasn't surprised when the show didn't last. I'm sure most of his viewers had the same disappointment in the whole format that I did.

It is never necessary to tune in to FNC or any other news outlet when any interview you should want to see will be on Youtube the following day. Transcripts would also be available on any number of Conservative sites.

Why give then a ratings boost when it is not necessary to get what you want elsewhere.

Aside from local news to get the weather, I’ve not watched news on TV for at least two decades. I long ago realized what I was watching was not news, it was all agenda all the time. 24x7 political opinion and Democrat party agenda. The truth is out there, but like everything in life, you’ll have to work to find it.

Watching Fox and Friends right now. So far right of any other so called morning news shows as to be ridiculous calling it left wing news. I only watch Fox and friends. I get all my other news from the web (mostly links from FR, Breitbart and Drudge ). What fox puts out during prime time and Sunday’s I don’t know it.

Fox News Takes a Sharp Left Turn

You know, that's the one thing missing from the news media spectrum: A source that leans left.

I now tune to the Fox Business Channel for my news. Fox & Friends, the Business Channel (Varney, Dobbs, and Trish Reagan), and Hannity are about the only things still watchable.

There is! Check out One America News Network (channel 347 if you have DirecTV); it has some flaws, but I like the coverage.

It’s not all that bad at Fox. I enjoy Sean Hannity, Judge Pirro, Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters is always a joy to watch. All support Trump and smack down on liberal crybabies like that sour grape Juan. Eric Bolling is okay too (too bad he shares the screen with that millennial Kat) Lou Dobbs is always welcome on my screen to and then there is Tucker of course! I love him trashing delusional liberals!

I always watch these shows on Youtube since I live in the Netherlands were we only have CCN Int. and BBC worldnews etc.

Democracy is at stake, as Ezekiel Emanuel says? What definition of “democracy” is that?

Democracy is one of those words that changes meaning, mutating and morphing into unthinkable forms, depending on the speaker. The Soviet Union was “democratic”, in that it affected every one of its denizens under its hegemony. Various houses of parliaments all over the world are “democratic” in that the members are placed in office by a poll of part of the subjects under their jurisdiction, awarded to whoever gets the majority, or sometimes just the plurality, of that fraction that actually vote. The selection of those candidates put up for that particular office are chosen by a very small oligarchy, and only very rarely by popular acclaim. And the worst feature of democracy? The majority totally oppresses the minority, changes of power only coming when a demographics of the minority exceed in number the demographics of the former majority. And the differences are often in total contrast with what had existed before, with no hint of any kind of compromise. Compromise, in a democracy, is held to be abhorrent and a sign of weakness.

How a minority, on becoming the majority, despises a minority.

OAN - One America News is now an option for a conservative new channel.

Liz Wheeler - The Talking Points week nights at 9EST is worth a look.

The Meeeeee-gyno debate debacle was the last night we ever watched Faux. Cut cable almost immediately after that.

After ditching O’Reilly (which may have been necessary) they ruined their prime time schedule by putting the ever-annoying “The Five” between Tucker and Hannity. As a result, I regularly plan other activities in the evening but make sure I catch Sean’s show.

Thanks. I’ll try it.

Still get most News from the Internet. Also Rush and a bit of Hannity on radio.
