Fox News Blew It Bigtime by Cutting Away From Laura Ingraham Speech!!!
Self | July 20, 2016 | PJ-Comix

Posted on 07/20/2016 5:55:49 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Did anybody else watch Laura Ingraham deliver her TERRIFIC speech at the convention on Fox News? If you did, you probably wanted to pull an Elvis on your TV set when for some BIZARRE reason, Fox News cut from the middle of Ingraham's speech to go to a rather mundane Talking Points Memo presented by Bill O'Reilly.

It was jaw-dropping how STUPID it was to do this especially since Laura is a regular contributor to Fox News. WHY? Can anybody out there give a rational reason for such a DOPEY decision?

Fortunately I was able to watch the full speech unfiltered on CSPAN but I still can't get over why in the middle of such an incredible speech, they pulled away from it.

Tun off FNC - watch CSpan for all the Convention!

Besides not having any talking heads, I won't have to listen or see Ted Baxter (BOR!)

“they are SO FULL OF THEMSELVES,”

They are. It’s a problem I’ve had with Fox News for a while. Almost all of their “talent” are disgustingly smug. I’d rather watch CNN.

Friggin ridiculous and hope Laura calls him out on it on her next appearance and certainly on her next show. However, look at all the other options that we have this time around vs even the last cycle:

maggief: I Watch on C-SPAN.

ExTexasRedhead and BunnySlippers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqNhDVcvrsg / Also, no commercials on You Tube where I have watched the last few days.

avital2: uverse has an RNC channel which i immediately went to when they left Laura’s speech.

surroundedbyblue: We are watching OANN because Fox is dead in this house

victim soul: Direct tv channel 347 live with no commentary.

Heavyrunner: Yeah, I was listening on Sirius

daku: I’m getting it streamed from rnclive

joma89: We are watching on a Fire TV with the RNC app so we just get the full feed with no commentary or cutting away.

Other options are Twitch, Twitter (moderated to minimize nasty comments), Facebook Live (I watched Tiffany's speech last night on it and apparently any comments are allowed - I dropped but before I did I must say that the majority of the comments were positive).

But my point is - the MSM domination of driving the thought process and telling people what they saw and heard is not what they saw and heard is officially over.

I stopped watching over a year ago but watched it for the convention. Nothing’s changed.

NPR did the same thing. Are these station executives stupid? Yes! They think that I want to hear David Brooks and the other leftists on their panel wax on. So I turned them off and watched online!

Exactly,Fox is embarrassingly lousy coverage. Who in the bell wants to hear their ego trips spewing. Blah blah blah....

Fox News had had dreadful coverage of this convention. Although I was recording it on FNC, I’ve been watching, either on Fox Business Channel, or on CNN.

FNC keeps putting up their talking heads and showing the speakers on split screen with the sound turned down. I don’t like the commentary on CNN, but at least they show the whole speeches and leave the commentary until they are after they are done.

Why would Fox apologize? The whole group of Fox talking heads keep repeating that the Republican Party is divided and going to lose in November thanks to Trump.They also continued to express their hope that the “right people” can get control of the party back and return to being sensible again. The cheap labor express keeps rolling on and the paid shills keep shilling.
Side note I voted for Cruz but the weak, left handed, lame call for “unity” he deserved to be booed off the stage.Cruz made a pledge and we saw on stage what it's worth,Ted is not to be trusTED. Will we be disappointed with Trump on social issues in the future? Yes he's from Manhattan and he will have those cultural values but on trade,defense,immigration,political correctness,and putting us on the right path the positives outweigh the negatives.
Now let's elect Trump!

I watch the convention on CSPAN—gavel to gavel coverage with no commentary, so I saw her entire speech.

Fox has been cutting off a lot of speeches. Their coverage has been horrid.

For DirecTV subscribers, channel 347 is carrying the convention, unmoderated, uninterrupted.

The reason why Fox News cut off Laura Ingram’s speech might be because she is a Fox News contributor, as is Newt Gingrich, who spoke after Cruz at the convention. Since I didn’t watch Fox News, I don’t know if they carried his speech, or not.

I agree. FNC has been highly annoying during this convention, yakking and yakking and running commercials during some of the greatest speeches of the convention.

Thank God for C-SPAN!

Yep. I learned 4 years ago... the best front-row seat at the convention is at C-SPAN. It’s like you’re actually AT the convention.
