Newsmax is flacking Carson against Trump. And they’re doing it using a phony premise; that Trump isn’t a pure enough Conservative. Neither is Carson. In fact, for my money, there isn’t a pure Conservative in the race, including Cruz.

And I don’t give a dang. It’s Trump for me; warts and all! I like Carson, but he doesn’t have the chops to pull it off in the General. Gotta’be Trump/Cruz.

Except they’re anti-Trump. He’s not pure enough for them.

I think the Pope is a socialist and a materialist. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to donate money to a mosque just to get back at him.

Switch to CNN? Hahahahahahahaha! I don’t think so. Same with MSNBC. I’ll stick to FR for my news.

I think it would need to be another news channel so they think you are watching it rather than FOX.

Done with all news. Sick of the whiny complaining “victims”, the crime, the controlling government and the immorality. Just....finished with it.

That’s more about saving a brain than harming a network.

Ahhh....as they say on the commericals: That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.

The networks and rating services do not know what channel your TV is tuned to. Unless you are downloading an “on demand” show or watching pay-per-view.

Really. I’ve built head ends (where the magic cable signals come from) and trust me...they don’t watch who is watching.

They DO put boxes in homes where they test stuff. They still do diaries.

But, no...the cable company has better things to do than figure out who is watching Fox or MSNBC.

We don’t have cable - no Fox News on TV at all. We do stream from odd sites when viewed, more often than not for debates and elections. At one time We would watch Bret Baier, BOR and MeKel but these, too, have fallen by the wayside.

This morning we saw Dr. Carson on Jake Trapper’s show (ABC). Dr. C was awesome. Trapper...not so much. Methinks it is time to log onto One America News on line and attempt it from that angle. Fox news is history here yet it was once on 24 hours a day. Don’t miss it much at all. Murdock has jumped the shark big time, his tv buddies hanging on his shirt tail.

Thnx for the ping.

We turned it off. I have a lot less anxiety now that I am not watching that carpola day and night. We are all in for Trump. If he’s on the ballot in March in the GA primary we punch his ticket.

SO your solution is to urge people to watch MSNBC and CNN?

I noticed you failed to respond to my question. Do you believe those liberal networks you are advocating are more fair to the conservative candidate in the race, Ted Cruz?

That happened very recently. I responded to the poster that it must surely be sarcasm. He didn't answer, and no one else called him out on it...in fact, one person took issue with me for doing so, LOL.

I saw that. The Trumpanzees are truly rabid in their defense of their liberal hero.

YipTV, eh? It sounded interesting, so I started to sign up for the “Free” App. Then, WHOA!
What do they want with my first and last name, and all my other vital signs?
No thanks. I’ll do without. The app may not cost anything up front. But I just can’t get myself to feel happy about having my name and vitals sold to every #!$% peddler on the planet.

Naaah. You’re still paying for the cable bundle which still helps subsidize our enemies.

Cut the cord, then go sign up for One America News for FREE via YIPTV.

There is so much streaming content out there that you’d want to watch. Why subsidize the garbage you don’t want? And you just subsidize the enemedia in the process.

We’re in for Trump but I sure hope Carson or Cruz is his VP.

Do you know where they get their rating number fox always boast about, other stations too? I always heard they know how many are watching, but not who.
