What has happened to FoxNews?
In the last three weeks Foxnews has been a chill for the Democrats and is being as anti-Bush as any other liberal news organization.
The most disappointing one on Foxnews is Birt Hume their main anchor. This guy has changed very badly in the last few weeks and he just being very easy on the flip floper and very tough on President Bush. In fact his analysis in the second debate was a shoker for most of us and this was a further indication on the bad turn that Brit Hume has taken recently.
Please send Foxnews (commetns@foxnews.com) and Birt Hume ( special@foxnews.com) an e-mail stating your disappointment and disaproval of the way they have been handfling the news recently and remind them that their fair and balance motto has been badly abused to be soft on Kerry and Democrats and unfair to President Bush and the GOP. Also remind them that 80% of their viewers are conservatives or conservartive leaning and they cannot afford to upset them because they will usffer badly in the ratings.
Probably the same thing that happened to Gallup after Moveon.org accused them of being biased toward Republicans. They moved hard left in order to show that they're "fair".
Brit is trying to get liberal enough to qualify as a future debate moderator.
let them go. they need to go through a kind of purge. OReilly has to go, he is essentially the "anchor" for the network, and there is no way they can adjust back to the right with him as the anchor. the only way to change them is to stop watching and hope their rating falls.
Most people want others to amplify their own opinions. When that happens, the others are great; when that doesn't happen, the others are [unprintable].
You gotta remember that 99% of the people you see on TV live in the blue states. Even if they don't realize it, they are immersed in that culture, and "fair and balanced" to them has a different pivot point than "fair and balanced" to you.
As for composing a e-mail... they'll love it, because it shows they got your attention!
Maybe there is lead in the water.
I canceled my cable TV and I must say, I'm feeling a lot calmer lately. No exposure to liberals spouting crap on the news channels. I feel liberated. I'm much more relaxed. I thought I would go into withdrawal, since I've been addicted to the news channels for years. But I don't miss them.
However Foxnews is built mainly on conservatives or conservatives leaning viewers and they shoud be afraid of us leaving them. On the other hand they think that conservatives has no where to go.
May be it is time for a smart businessman to have the Conservative network. It will be the most succeful news network of all times.
Already sent an e-mail
I have been watching between CNN and MSNBC - depending on the time of day - but there is one guy at Fox who isn't too bad yet - he's a sub for when the regular guy isn't there
I believe CNN is getting more fair and balanced at times - and, it wasn't that long ago, that I didn't think that was even possible
I think as the election draws near, Fox is making sure it is perceived as "fair and balanced" to maintain its credibility over obviously-unbalanced outlets like CBS. While I don't like what seems to be an increased focus on the Dems, I do understand why they would take pains to avoid accusations of bias. Especially since Rathergate.
Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" should be FoxNews's lead-in and bumper music...
You may be correct - it might be better to address the e-mails to the Mur- guy - the owner -
just a -
My suggestion would be for everyone to stop watching it. Conservatives made FOX big. Maybe conservatives can cause it to fall...And go back to its roots.

I agree 100%, I thought that for a long time. Wouldn't Fox News change their tune then! Why couldn't you have these people that are on talk radio now and put them on tv doing their radio show? They seem to be about the only ones speaking the truth! There are a ton of right wing talk shows on the radio. Along with other types of shows as well. But unlike Fox, I wouldn't have Gretta Van Crookedjaw or many of the other day time shows that are on, they bore me to tears.About the only thing I watch now is Hannity and Herman (Colmes)Munster.O'Reilly is stuck on himself and went to the other side. The rest is so boring. I would love to see an hour of just Hannity.
Yes, I say it's time for real true Conservative network. Does anyone else think so?
From post: " many of the other day time shows that are on "
The ones on during the day are close to being a joke - lately it's a toss up between getting some news and getting all the Hollywood juice -
The three idiots in the morning aren't worth watching at all -
I like your idea of a new station -
just an opinion -
Chernin is Fox News CEO and as you can see a big Kerry donor and Dem contributor.
I sent mine 3 days ago.

It's way past time for a Conservative Network.
