Fox News’ Downfall Is Good For The Conservative Movement: It's Time to Separate the Wheat from the Chaff

I've been really enjoying Newsmax. Saw Michelle Malkin's show earlier this evening, and also saw Diamond and Silk's show too. Newsmax is refreshing, like a drink of cool clear water.

They projecteth a bit too much.

Everywhere I look is . . . chaff.

[Anti-Bubba182]

What are CNN, MSNBC etc. going to do without TRUMP? Twitter was not much before Trump started tweeting. They all will miss him.

RE: Everywhere I look is . . . chaff.

Are Laura, Sean, Tucker, Maria and Lou Dobbs chaff?

[MuttTheHoople]

The mainstream Republican party despises Trump as much as the Democrats do. They want to go back to the days of 160 seat minorities in the House, and get to go to all the cool Georgetown parties.

In the 1960's, it was cigars and brandy. Nowadays, it's cocaine-adrencochrome-blood of Haitian children.

[BipolarBob]

I don’t look their direction.

Most if Fox didn’t represent true conservative thought, but the chamber-of-commerce and neocon bastardizations of it.

[rfp1234]

Most of.

They apologized to Dominion Software when they were threatened with legal action.

They’re not exactly fearless in this regard. All you need is Soros and Big Tech money threatening them for them to capitulate.

William Wallace would rather die and shout FREEDOM, Braveheart they’re not.

Fox News’ current decline will make the conservative movement stronger.“.

The best thing that could happen to conservatism and the country as a whole would be the bankruptcy and total demise of Foxnews before the end of the year. The sooner the better.

I hope Fox realizes it’ mistakes and gets back on track. I will be watching their new lineup to see if they want to regain their former position. Stray Tuned!

Sometime next week you are going to wake up to one TV channel. Government TV. You will get to watch the military tribunals live.

[Paladin2]

Sean is certainly chaff until late 2024.

RE: Sean is certainly chaff until late 2024.

Can you explain why?

[Saveourcountry]

The idiot who wrote this story completely misses the point. He says, “This meant that the company was the primary influence when it came to shaping viewpoints on the right.”

What these clowns fail to realize is we do not need our viewpoints “shaped”. We watch what we watch because we already have our beliefs and viewpoints firmly set. We don’t need news outlets to “shape” them for us. When Fox started trying to “shape” our viewpoints away from what we already believed, we moved on. It is as simple as that.

[Cboldt]

The “new linup” is the old linup in different batting order.

It’s anti-Trump, to boot.

[Kevmo]

Excellent title, I agree with it.

Lastly, it is essential to note that Fox’s troubles will not be fatal. The company has lost a significant chunk of its audience for the time being. But if they are wise, they will learn from their missteps during the election and win some of their viewers back.

The author is delusional. Fox’s troubles WILL be fatal. Nobody will trust them again, and their on-air talent would be wise to migrate elsewhere ahead of the collapse.
