Ratings have come out for the third quarter and Fox News ratings are crushing the liberal media, again
It seems people continue to tune out CNN and MSNBC and choose Fox News to get their information, even if you are not a fan of Fox, that is a good thing.
Fox News is not my first choice of places to get my information from but the are obviously far better than CNN and MSNBC.

I watch YOUTUBE...and I can select what I want to watch.
But I'm not surprised when I see conservatives frequently cutting off their noses to spite their faces. It happens in other cases.
Folks, in the TV cable new world, Fox is all we have right now. We may disagree with this or that Fox regular, contributor or guest here and there, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater!
There are many Foxies whom I hate, can't abide, disagree with and don't want to even look at....but I don't let them eat me out....and I don't tune the whole network out because of them.
I just go to the fridge and come back for the next segment.
We MUST keep Fox at the top of the cable ratings. Does anyone really think that the commie viewers totally tune out PMSNBC and CNN because they don't like some of their regulars and guests? They DON'T because they know it's counterproductive to their long-range cause.
If too many conservatives become rats deserting the Fox ship, the network will then become TOTALLY neutral (wishy-washy)....or become TOTALLY leftish-leaning.
I, too, HATE Geraldo, Wan Williams, etc.etc.......but why should I withdraw my support for regulars like Tucker, Bongino and the others who speak MY language ??? These conservative pundits are laying their careers out on the conservative line....why could we even think of withholding support for them ???
I'm interested in your comments.

Yes. This is an all too common occurrence with conservatives. They seem to be single issue voters all too often. Not just with Fox. One of our best Senators is Rand Paul, yet he always got tons of grief for going off the reservation a bit. Conservatives’ and their stiff necks do more harm than good.
So, boycott Fox. Hurting its ratings will only embolden the Left. The Left thinks that Fox news is the conservative devil. We know that it isn’t. But that is how the RATs perceive Fox. Keeping Fox’s numbers high will keep the Left in a froth. And thus funnier. If Fox falls we have nothing.
I stopped watching FOX News election night 2012. Haven't missed it because they don't report relevant news. Avoiding those tv news stations has freed up a whole lot of time for real news research.
You nailed the gist of my post right to the wall.

Much of what you said is true, and I do love some of their talent. Bongino is a favorite and I listen to his radio show. Still, I never can trust Fox after their premature “call” for Biden in AZ on election night. Fool me once ...
It’s not as if I MUST watch one station or another, and MUST choose which one. I don’t have to watch any.
Wrong!! I haven't watched Fox News since Obama got elected. And I don't watch any news programs, on TV or the internet. Don't do social media sites, and the only sites I frequent are FR and patriots.win. God gave me a brain, and I can read, think, and analyze what I read, and make my own decisions. I don't need the news filtered to me by a middleman who is paid to tell me what to think, or what they think I need to know. You should try it sometime. It's very liberating.
All I can say is that Donald Trump, for whom I'm a slavish supporter to the nth degree, fooled me a couple times in the course of the years, LOL....but I have never, ever wavered in support for him or for right-leaning Fox news personalities who are on MY side in the aggregate.
If I have any good personal traits, it's loyalty to the good guys and gals. You are not supporting Fox's Bongino or other conservatives by a total boycott of Fox News !
Leni
It must suck to be as snarky and noble as you.
Where do you think the news and opinion posts emanate from here on FR....from the same news outlets like Fox and all others that you castigate, of course.
We are able to post our own opinions because we DO filter the media.
However, if you don't want to watch Fox and help keep its ratings high to the consternation of the commie media, I'm like Rhett Butler in "Gone With the Wind"...."Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

Your entire post is well and truly said, and thank you for “schooling” the shortsighted. I never failed to criticize those who claimed to be hardcore Trumpers but couldn’t resist moaning and whining about his tweets because they just had to find a way to join hands with the ‘rats!
“If ONLY he would make nice and not send out those nasty tweets.” YADA YADA YADA! SICKENING ! ! !
Hear! Hear! I totally agree with you. I am a regular Fox viewer. I enjoy Fox and Friends both weekdays and weekends, and Tucker, Hannity and Laura in the evening. I like the Fox Business with their conservative lineup. Like you I just don’t tune in to those who aren’t conservative. I know I am in good company for my president, Donald Trump, is also a regular viewer and appears on some of these shows from time to time.
Pls see # 82;

While I agree with all that you said, I do point out OANN and News Max... I admit I haven't watched them very much but then I don't watch Fox much either - and then mostly Fox Business {sad to see Fox Business going general interest programming after 8pm.}
I agree, a cable network regularly viewed and interviewed on by President Donald Trump is worth supporting, not boycotting.
Leni
OAN has some good coverage. I wish they would give their on-air talent some voice lessons. Almost all of them speak in monotones that will put you to sleep.
Someday they will have the technology Fox has. Then they will be a force to be reckoned with.
Even better to take whatever action Patriots can be it large or small to defeat the $3 TRILLION unconstitutional portion of the federal government (AKA "deep State" AKA "The Swamp" AKA "commie thugs") which has become totalitarian and is the GREATEST threat (MUCH more than "Big Tech", China, or the Man in the Moon) to our health, wealth, constitutionally-protected freedoms, and livelihoods.
I understand being a long-retired broadcast tech {ABC News}. Another thing that bothers me is the inability to do an interview properly; Fox is as bad as most. The interviewer {Hannity, for example} asks a long detailed question that really gives the story, leaving the person interviewed to say, 'Absolutely' or 'I agree'. The networks should train them to do a short lead in and ask the question allowing the interviewee to tell their own story; it is maddening to me - and my son.
