Trump exposes Fox News bias against Conservatives
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/25/15 | Jeff Crouere

Posted on 09/26/2015 4:23:12 AM PDT by Sean_Anthony

Majority of Fox News commentators and guests seem to prefer anybody but Donald Trump. If this type of bias continues, it remains to be seen if conservatives, the backbone of their audience, will remain loyal to the network. Stay tuned

Ever since it was launched in 1996, Fox News has enjoyed an ever growing television audience. Talk show host Rush Limbaugh often promoted Fox News in the early years of the network, helping to establish the connection with conservatives across the country. In fact, thanks to Rush and others on talk radio, Fox News enjoyed tremendous ratings growth over the last 19 years.

Today, Fox News is the unquestioned ratings champion among cable news channels. One other factor determining ratings success has been the unpopularity of the left wing content being delivered by competitors such as CNN and MSNBC. Viewers interested in fair and balanced news coverage, as opposed to liberal indoctrination, have flocked to Fox News.

The problem is that Fox News, while not a liberal network, is unfriendly to true conservatives. For example, most Fox News hosts are either moderate or downright liberal. Their mid-day host, Shepard Smith, is clearly liberal on a wide variety of issues and just this week was insulting conservatives who have been critical of Pope Francis.

I was flipping channels last night and passed over the Kelly File, paused, and thought I wonder how long until Donald Trump’s name is mentioned. I hit the button and “Donald Trump” was the first thing I heard. Changed immediatley laughing out loud.

We expected more and better from FOXy News. Trying to take down a candidate is not fair and balanced. They have been exposed and so many of us have taken our eyeballs elsewhere.
That debate performance by FOXy hosts was the last straw.
We expected much better and they delivered a crap sandwich with arrogance and no regrets. Bye bye...

It’s a news channel, with old time news reporting, they cover the candidates speeches, they don’t comment, they just report the news...you take what you want from it..they cover political and world news, with no comments from them...really refreshing....

I go thru YipTV.com...after you sign in (the one I chose is free) and on the right hand side you can got thru and find OAN and click on it, up in the right top hand side of the page it shows a little screen, then go down to the bottom left hand side and click on that box and it will load, you can make the screen bigger if you choose, or just leave the box small and listen while your doing other things...I love it...

How does one get OAN? I watched a couple of programs on the computer, but no where else.

Fox is anti American. Everything to make America great, they hate.

They enjoy misery, makes for news.

His views on eminent domain, for a starter. Sure, if it doesn’t affect you it’s no big deal, but that is how they divide and conquer.

Well, I’ve never met Nancy Pelosi either. I don’t think she’s a conservative either.

Trump is not a conservative.


Trump is not a conservative.

Trump is not a conservative.

I believe your are 100% correct. Trump has not lived his life as a conservative, he does not act like a conservative and he doesn’t talk like a conservative. Trump is in the entertainment business and he’s played the media like a blooming fiddle.

Aside from all that, I find Trump skeevy as all get out. To me, Trump is still acting like a spoiled 12 year old rich boy. And don’t get me started on the stupid women who are seen rubbing up to The Donald. Skeevy.

I love the way he’s doing what he’s doing regarding the press, liberalism and political correctness, but I would not want him as president.

Any network with Whorealdo is not fair and balanced. I quit Fox the day they hired him with an angry email to Ailes. Got a terse reply thanking me and sorry to hear my complaints against a TV star.
