That’s just it. Who is this person who does not vote for people. People are individuals. One news person does not have a crystal ball to read into what he wants. He does not have that power. So, who cares what a person says. There are billions more

We didn’t watch much news on Fox, but tried to tune in for at least part of their 6:00 pm show. It became apparent that things had changed and they were anti-Trump and so we’ve given up that show. We don’t watch any TV news shows anymore.

We catch parts of a few radio shows. Rush during lunch hour, and Larry Elder after work. Other information we learn through reading online.

Most people no longer gather their news from ‘the MSM’ anymore. They are online. They gather from a variety of sources. Especially millennials who most don’t use cable tv. They plug into through ‘smart’ sources and get their news elsewhere. The MSM may be listened to by about 1/2 the audience it used to have before broadening of technology. Ages 35 and under don’t watch it.

There are only 8 media companies in the whole country. They all sing out of the same hymnal. Hume understood, or used to understand, that giving conservative viewpoints and reporting was ‘like picking money up off the street’ because it was unavailable anywhere else. Now I think the bosses fear antitrust action if Trump should prevail and avoiding that is more important than anything else to them.

They lost Ailes right? They’ve been infiltrated by lefties who have deemed it more important to propagandize then to make money.

Fox was a breath of fresh air when it first launched it’s “Fair and Balanced” news coverage, because the other media were so dreadful in comparison. Conservatives rewarded Fox with huge ratings but Fox failed to keep the faith. The one who i can’t stand now is O’Reilly. He feigns conservatism but is really just a populist blowhard. Every time he has a chance to interview a leading Democrat he pulls his punches and turtles.

I think the poster was noting that the channels you go to for relief from FNC have all been coopted by the globalist movement to one degree or another as well.

I read an article not that long ago here at FR that Rupert Murdoch instructed FOX, whom at FOX I didn’t see, but somebody at FOX to do Trump in.

All of a sudden FOX became, overnight what you are describing. We saw it happen as we were FOX viewers during our breaks from chores around the ranch inside, and out, and always had FOX on prior to this change in events.

NOW we only watch when it’s Hannity. Can’t stand Megan Kelly, or O’Reilly, so that’s it for FOX from here.

I see they booted or she left, Greta.

So who did they replace her with? Megyn’s Boyfriend.
Open Border, Establishment bootlicker Brit Hume.

There are still some respectable people on Fox. I still watch Hannity, Lou Dobbs, Charles Payne, Neil Cavauto, and sometimes O’Reilly. Don’t care for the beltway politico types they still have. They’re part of the problem.

Having FNC on for background chatter like I used to do, I have decided, is quite toxic. The messages, the attitude, the mindset all build gradually through the use of repeated words and phrases, so you’re just being programmed, even if you don’t think you’re paying attention.

FOX News cable is nothing but a non-stop attack on Trump

I noticed the same thing

They can’t totally ignore every negative Trump story. I noticed a few days back the other networks were pushing a story about Trump making contributions to state AGs purportedly to head off the Trump U investigations, and FNC was doing Hillary email stories instead. If FNC were really anti-Trump, wouldn’t they be more like CNN or MSNBC?
