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

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.

Yes!!!!

Up until just a few weeks ago, I watched the clock each night to turn on Megyn at 8 pm. This is because on SOME issues she would really take her guest to task and I liked that knowing all the while that she has a fixation on gay issues and women issues. So, when she started prattling on about that “stuff” I just hit the mute.

Now though, it’s become too much watching her and others purposefully ignore and/or belittle CRUZ while ATTACKING Trump without let up.

So, now my TV screen is BLACK during the Megyn hour!......permanently!

That’s the problem today...

I used to listen to Fox all day long, but I haven’t in 2 years, and I don’t miss it a bit...

I have OAN on my computer, turn up the volumn and listen as I’m doing what ever I’m doing that day...I love OAN, it really is a news channel...and they report the news, not what they think the news is...

I don’t want Trump going back to Fox, I want to show the msm, talking heads and others,to realize that WE have a choice of what WE are going to listen to...there are a lot of us that are now listening to other programs, and that’s the way it should be, WE get to choose what WE want to hear, not someone else’s opinion of what they want US to hear...I can do that in Church or at the Senior Center or in the supermarket...or my neighbors, whom by the way are turning for Trump....(Hatch decided that Bush was who Utah was going to vote for, ahem) ....

I agree with you.

Please tell me more about OAN.

sign up, I did for free, then go to the right side of the page, scroll thru there and you will see the OAN symbol, then go down to the left hand corner and hit the first window and it will load and play...you can keep the pic small or you can make it bigger when your watching something of interest....

Looks like it (OANN) doesn’t support closed captioning.

CA....
