I haven’t posted a topic in awhile so forgive me for being rusty...a lot of freepers have been onto Fox and its changes for quite awhile but was the point where you finally had it? For me it was when Neil Cavuto was stating the President was advocating killing people over hydroxychloroquine any other President and Cavuto would have been fired
Megyn Kelly. Republican Primary Debate. 2015.
I thank Chris Wallace for getting me to walk away.
It wasn’t even the recent debate, it was long before that.
I knew trouble was afoot when they canned Michelle Malkin and put Paul Ryan on the board
Let’s just say them hiring Donna Brazille was long awaited confirmation that my decision to ignore them (and all msm) was correct and foresighted.
Election night and the premature Arizona call.
When they hired Donna. (The liar) Brazille as a contributor
7 or 8 years ago 2ndDivionVet asked me if I really pay attention to what was going on at that channel.
I did. I saw a bunch of neocons and one world govt folks.
Never looked back in 7 years EXCEPT for the election last month and I turned it on FOUR times only to shut it off FOUR times after FIVE minutes.
Poor Brit Hume. He’s like “what’s going on with Florida”
Then some pr.ck said the last time they called florida too early all heck broke loose..referring to 2000.
Trump was up by 300,000 votes!!!
Never again.
Plus there was always too much arguing.
I could call an ex if I want that :)
“I haven’t posted a topic in awhile”
Actually you have NEVER posted a thread.
Why lie?

I tolerated them for the last year but weaned myself totally when it was apparent they were tanking Trump on November 3rd. Last straw. Don’t be too hard though. They are all the same. Fox was never conservative. There business model was to try to be less liberal than the pack and offer a middle of the road. “Fair and balanced” should be amended to “like all the rest”. Reporting was never in the mission statement...
When they called Arizona for Biden.
And they probably never will again. Looken sharp mumblegummer.
Stopped in late Oct. 2016 when Bret Baier breathlessly reported that Hill was up by 12 points. Don’t miss Fox at all!
I quit the day Chris Wallace joined up. I knew then what you all know now.
03 Nov 2020.
Until then, I was prepared to grant them the benefit of a doubt.
On Election Day, however, there was no doubt they were dirty.
Election night and the premature Arizona call.
This. The election night coverage was dreadful and biased. The call on Arizona (while polls were still open by the way) was deliberate and inexplicable.
About a month after the 2016 election. They were calling Trump supporters names just like the MSM. I determined to quit paying 100/month for my cable bill to be called names
“Had it” was about 20 years ago, when I realized the focus was on the talking heads instead of the news itself.
For me it was when _ucker Carlson called Pedo Joe “President-Elect” the day after the election.
I dropped FoxNews after the first Republican debate 2016 when the gang of 3 (Wallace-Kelly-Baier) tried to take Trump out and later bragged about it.
They apparently have only gotten worse over the years.
FoxNews’ problem is that they are running off their base and they are not attracting Libs/Leftists, as those Libs/Leftists already have homes with MSNBC and/or CNN.
