I stopped watching Fox News in 2008 when Obama got elected.

I stopped watching in 2001 when they hired Geraldo.

"I stopped watching in 2001 when they hired Geraldo."

When Fox News was added to the Time Warner programming here, I used to have it on whenever I was home. Didn't really watch much of anything else. I was still working at the time...the 3-11 shift, and listened to Rush and Hannity while at work. Election 2000, and Fox News called Florida for Gore before the polls closed in the Florida Panhandle. That really pissed me off, and I've never forgiven them for that. After the Supreme Court decision, I started weaning myself off of them. On 9/11, I turned them on that morning to check the news, and ended up keeping them on 24/7 for several weeks after that. As time passed, I gradually got away from watching it. I got sick of listening to Bill O'Reilly, Hannity &Colmes, etc. By that time, I'd been on FR for a couple of years, and found it more satisfying than watching cable news. I retired in 2003, so had more time to watch other TV programming. I'd never really watched TV series until then. I turned Fox on when we went to Iraq, and for Presidential debates, and any other special events that occurred. I did watch the McCain & Obama debates, as well as the debate between Palin and Biden. Once Obama got elected, I couldn't stand seeing his face, or hearing his voice as Fox News played clips of him incessantly. That's when I turned them off for good.
