Useless speculation. Wake me up when there’s some valid news about this situation.
I think they should be in the 1% viewer category before we even think about watching, listening or buying any sponsors products before that....
The near constant feuding and making up serves both fox and trump in the ratings game.
Look for this to continue.
I’ve started following DT’s Twitter feed, since Fox is not longer a source of information.
FOX is marxist media lite.
FOX has been on a jihad to get Trump. They never stop.
So, I stopped FOX with my remote control.
More “reality-show” concocted drama. One character shouts a lot, squeals about being “disrespected,” grabs his stuff and goes home.
Fox should be boycotted.
My wife records Kelly & Michael and watches it later, so she can FF through commercials. Sometimes I get snookered into watching it in lieu of abandoning my La-Z-Boy, which I’m loathe to do.
Yesterday they had Bull OReally on. The first subject broached by Kelly was TRUMP. I had to call my wife’s attention to OReally’s facial expression and semi-pleading tone of voice, virtually imploring for better relations with the Trump camp. We’ll have to see what develops.
To Roger Ailes:
I used to like your network - I’ve watched it pretty consistently for about 20 years. However, I no longer watch Kelley, not after she ambushed Trump and has been making smarmy comments about him since then. The Five is junk. O’Reilly I watch only if he’s actually being fair and not interrupting every guest constantly (which means that I watch him maybe 10 minutes a year). Greta - not so annoying, but she’s on Fox. Hannity is the only one I watch now, because he’s treated Trump fairly.
Fox is in the tank for the GOPe - and that I cannot abide. Neither that, nor the Dems being in the tank for the Dems. News should be reported on by the networks, not made by them.
Fix your network, Mr. Ailes, or you will lose a lot more viewers than just myself. Maybe I should write to your sponsors and let them know how I feel....
I assume this battle with Fox is part of Trump’s long term plan to win the election. He is going to need cross over votes from democrats who think Fox is the enemy.
The Mud-Ox network cant have it both ways. He wants FOX to dump on Trump and yet have him on for ratings boost? Trump aint no ones chump. Flux the FOX.
The only way there will be a truce is if Fox quits trying to be a “powerbroker” and goes back to reporting news.
Trump does have the leverage. His ratings draw is real. And he is out there tweeting his non-Fox talk show line ups. And he even promoted One America News Network.
Incidentally, I can’t sign on to One America News today. I wonder if their volume is now greater than their bandwidth or if they are under a denial of service attack.
I can only imagine how many people have turned off Fox News. I have not watched any of it for 2 days. Megyn Kelly has been bringing on guest after guest to trash Trump every night so she can giggle like a school girl about it but not actually do the trash talking. No wonder Trump got ticked.
Ailes is going learn the hard way that he’s just not smart enough to outgame Trump. This cat and mouse stuff only keeps Donald in the news day and night. He revels in it. And it keeps the limelight off the other GOP candidates. The other networks are happy to let Trump on anytime he wants a few minutes to talk smack about Fox News and their anchors. Win win for Trump.
