I admit that in breaking disasters CNN is going to be there first with more

You very well may get more unbiased info and better video with FR and Youtube.

Yes, you are right of course, and I have noticed that. So other than sports stuff, what happens on weekends that is noteworthy? :)

And besides, if there really is something noteworthy on an otherwise slow weekend, FR will have it.

If I tune in to CNN it isn't for very long, for I know it will only be a little while before FR has better non biased information.

Young people do not watch TV programs on the TV —they do it on their computers and devices.

OK, I understand. My Dad, long deceased now, had CNN on all day long. Like at the airport.

I usually donate 100 dollars at the first of the month when the FReepathon starts. I have donated later when it is in the closing stages. I feel terrible when it has to go in to a third month.

Ditto.

“That’s what annoys me about FOX...not enough news!”

US “news” doesn’t actually do news anymore, except in very short segments. It costs too much money.

Is this the first time it’s gone into the third month? It really needs to be the last.

“If per chance I see that Jesse Watters is on I stop and watch. I like his segments a LOT!”

Agreed. Watters is a gem that was stuck with his Watters World segment on BOR’s show, but I see they are starting to use him now on other commentary programs. And he’s smart as a whip, incisive, very conservative in opinion, and nails Bob Beckel to the wall with no qualms at all in tackling Bob’s baloney. I wish they would put Watters on a lot more of the talking heads shows. He’s one of the best things Fox has got and I’m not sure they have figured it out yet.

I went farther that In three weeks I officially cut out cable. I am paid through June 26, after that, antenna and Netflix. I am sick of paying $100. per moth for 200 channels and only watching five or six.

I don’t watch ANY of them on a regular basis anymore.”

Neither do I but I got rid of the cable last fall when I decided to trim expenses. When I did have cable, only ones I watched were Greta and Bret and then only on occasion. The rest of them not for a long time and only O’Reilly by accident and then only as long as it took me to change the channel. I do miss Cavuto and the FOX Business channel though.

Thanks for making my post for me. That nails it.

BOR used to have a producer, Arthel Neville (daughter of one of the Neville Brothers of New Orleans music fame), who would come on and verbally spar with him. While she was leftist, she acted as a court jester to keep BOR from getting too full of himself. He went downhill for me when she left; he quickly became unwatchable due to his ego constantly being on display.

I think it has gone to three before, but maybe it has been so close that I thought it was three. It shouldn’t go over one.

Questions... How the hell do these people know the ages of viewers? Is this just the bogus data from the outdated Nielson boxes installed in viewers’ homes?

If the ages of majority viewers is anywhere near accurate, it just means that the younger, LIV population ignores the news that reports what’s happening in America and the world.

I don’t mind the cable I just don’t watch their news shows.

i started boycotting all Network News stations including FOX when Obama won in 2008... i guess at that point i mainly started boycotting FoxNews because i had already given up on the rest... from time to time i will catch Your World with Neil Cavuto... i love that guy... i guess that comes on the Fox Business channel...
