Cavuto is my favorite on Fox News.
He does..But an honest reporting media no longer exsists. It’s been over 40 years since just reporting the news has happened so people are opting for a news agency which is more to their political views, hence Fox News and unless things change drastically the other news agencies will go out of business...Oh well.
The author discredits himself when he sides with Acorn’s use of the race card.
Sadly the world is not a utopian paradise
Well, Fox News has never claimed to be “conservative” or anything else. They got big because they at least weren’t explicitly liberal like ABCBSNBCNN. The “fair and balanced” thing merely meant that from time to time they actually got some conservative opinion on things, unlike the others.
FNC may not be perfect but it sure beats, CNNMSNBCNBCabcSeeBSPBSPBR by a long ways.
Mine too. Used to be Brit. He was the best.
I can think of a lot more legitimate applications of the word “tragic”. I am reading a book about the Baatan Death March that it might apply to.
In addition to your comments, BOR’s show has become like formula radio. The body language segment got old years ago. Lately he even has been having Sally Quinn as a guest. Who cares what she thinks?
The Great American Panel has to be the lamest 15 minutes on TV.
Beck is a loose cannon.
When Greta isn't chasing missing blonds, she's pretty good. Her show has improved considerably.
I also agree on Laura Ingraham. She should have her own show.
One problem is that people keep hoping for “honest” or “unbiased” reporting of news. There’s no such thing.
I think we were better served when newspapers were more openly partisan. The big cities typically had two major papers, one liberal and one conservative (along with whatever assortment of minor papers). But I think information is more valuable when the source is open about the filter they use on the news. Read about something in the democrat-leaning paper... then read about it in the republican-leaning paper, and I think you get a more complete understanding of an issue. Nomatter which side you’re on.
Agreed.
Loved Brit, both on ABC and Fox. He told it like it was, period.
Cavuto & Greta are great.
O’Reilly is not a conservative but Independent with some conservative views.
I have Beck on TV in the background while on computer.
Am almost embarrassed for him.
today he was going on about subjects like he is the first to discover them.
I knew about what he was speaking of in the late 1960s
in my early 20s doing my own research and reading.
Beck doesn’t belong having a regular 1 hr. program,
Not because he is Not a Conservative but because
he is a loose cannon.
Yes, Laura Ingraham full time would be an improvement.
The bottom line for FOX, at least they do have on Conservatives and will give Conservatives a voice.
This is more than CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, etc.
Why does anyone think BOR is a conservative?
Sean gets boring, same old, same old.
Beck is entertaining at times but I find myself changing the channel.
Love Cavuto, smart as a whip, funny guy.
Loved Brit Hume, love Laura Ingraham, same for Michelle, Greta has improved tremendously.
Don’t forget, John Stossel is now on the Fox Business Channel.
Fox News has rocketed to cable dominance simply by not offering the same points of view reflected on other channels. While I would not exactly call them conservative, at least they are not reflexively liberal. The market is now roughly divided between the center right Fox news (50%) and the four or five reflexively liberal news networks(collectively, 50%). I dare say there is plenty of room in the market for someone to compete with Fox News for any viewer to the right of center. If you lured away 25% of Fox's viewers, you would be bigger than CNBC. Start your own network if you do not like Fox - I may be your very first viewer.
By the way, “Stossel” on Fox Business is my favorite. Where else would someone dare argue lawyers do not need to be licensed?
Back during the 50's and 60's in Little Rock, we had the liberal Arkansas Gazette. And what was the name of the Conservative paper? Well, it was Arkansas Democrat of all things.
I agree with you 100%. Fox News may not be perfect in every way but are we better off with them or without them? Sure they have some warts but isn’t that what a news station used to be? When Cronkite and Huntley/Brinkley first came on the air their mission was to relay the news. Most of us couldnt see an ideology but watched to hear what was going on. Now, instead of the constant liberal point of view of ABC, CBS and NBC we want Fox to be right wing all the time. I’m happy with a medium that gives me a chance to make up my own mind again.
According to recent Rasmussen and Gallup polls, 40% of Americans are moderates, 40% conservative and 20% liberal.
CNN, MSNBC, the three networks, PBS and NPR all target the same 20% audience segment.
