It’s by the wayside for me.

The deep state is the global mafia.

Wet my beak.

Losses are part of the deal.

Go back and watch Godfather II.

I shut Fox off along with every other corporate media entity back during the Obama Administration. I’m glad to see so many others waking up and doing the same.

Odd...the article mentioned a “Megyn Kelly”. That name isn’t familiar...and I don’t think it’s dementia on my part. Does that name ring a bell for anyone else here?

Haven't had it on since election night; 9:45 pm EST. I will admit to instinctively reaching for my phone or the clicker to put it on from time to time, much like reaching for a cigarette when quitting smoking however, quitting Fox was easier!

Looking forward to the day when Tucker, Sean and Laura leave the network, does anyone know when their contracts are up?

Soros is quietly working covertly behind the scenes. There needs to be more light on his activities.

If I’m not mistaken, she was an exotic dancer who worked the strip club circuit years ago. Someone recently told me she’s trying to be relevant again.

Fox News Election Night coverage was the most stunning suicide ever shown on TV.

“The thing is, Fox’s betrayal of conservatives was not an overnight betrayal”

That is an important point. Even so, they were still mostly better than the alternatives. That ended last week. I’m sure Fox will try shorter skirts and more low angle shots of their attractive female news readers.

Two weeks ago, I would have been watching Fox Business News as I eased into the workday. Right now, I’m watching Newsmax. I got a tip on where to watch Tucker uploads/torrents (I will be downloading them through a Russian server) until Fox fires Tucker. At this point, he can do whatever he wants. They cannot afford to lose him.

In fact, what happened to the once darling of Fox News, Megyn Kelly, should be a harbinger of what the network can now expect.

This is what I have predicted also. The left won't accept someone they have hated for so long, even when they have come over to their side. Besides, no one trusts a traitor.

In 2016 AZ was called Friday after election, as the last state to be called. They count votes here very slowly! And Trump won by like 3 points.
Now is going to be within tenths of point (either way).
Why did they called AZ, just on 30% of counted votes, even before the election day votes were in?
Beyond me!

I dumped TV in April of 1997, so I’ve never been a “regular” watcher of Fox news. I would get exposed occasionally in bars or friends’ homes and that’s about it.

But a couple of years ago I did discove Laura, Tucker, etc on youtube and really liked them. But their news was just more leftism from my perspective.

What changed?

Delete your Fox News apps and turn to Newsmax and Real America’s Voice. True conservative reporting.

Fox has been losing conservatives for years. The Fox market is now the people that watch the View and Morning Joe.They want entertainment news and just tell people they watch Fox to try and sound balanced but when pressed they know nothing. You can tell a Fox Viewer by how uninformed they are.

They had Juan in there for balance. Fox audience can take a differing viewpoint.

That’s not the problem.

The problem is the media must be tuned out now as they are in full gaslighting mode.

This election simply is not over.

Tuning in on Saturday seeing Brett baier and Martha McCollum with a huge Biden president elect sign was significant. From then on, every commentator would be required to repeat at given intervals, get used to a biden presidency. The Fox audience knows media brainwashing when they see it. They can deal with an alternate point of view but this tgey will not put up with. The seek information this is the opposite of that. They need information at this time about the ongoing election. They have found found alternate sources. Quickly.

The Fox brass, the wives, whoever came up with this emotionally based notion, does not understand that. They have lost their audience and at a time when people are seeking trusted sources. They will not gain any new viewers and hav lost their former viewers forever. With resentment.

Many here continue to give ratings and profits to Faux by watching certain shows.
It’s their choice, of course. I am having difficulty understanding why they
watch ANY show on Faux, a Network that hates them.
I guess some people enjoy getting peed on. It excites them.
