An interesting insight into what goes on at FNC when the camera's aren't rolling.

I'm still in shock they said that sKerry won the second debate.

[Republic Rocker]

The Fox news team saying Kerry won was like a bad script......they didn't even support their statements...they just kinda shrugged...???

[txradioguy]

I was on duty last night and didn't get to see the post-debate analysis on FNC. Who did they give last night's debate to?

Posted yesterday here and today here.

[RockinRight]

I'm pretty sure they said W won.

[Old Sarge]

I no longer trust FoxNews.

[txradioguy]

"I no longer trust FoxNews."

After the last six weeks I'm beginning to have my doubts about them too.

Everyone needs to contact FOX, either by phone or e-mail, and let them know that the viewers who have made them #1 are NOT PLEASED with their obvious left turn! Perhaps if we intervene loud enough, they will see the err of their ways! God knows we have way more than enough liberal bias media already!

"I was on duty last night and didn't get to see the post-debate analysis on FNC. Who did they give last night's debate to?"

For post debate discussion last night (debate 3) the entire panel agreed that Bush clearly won and pretty much knocked it out of the park. Everyone thought the Mary Cheney comment was a very cheap shot and further said the "married up" comment of Kerry was very weak and lame. It was universal praise for Bush last night.

[Old Sarge]

I have not trusted Fox for ages. Their slide to the Dark Side is, IMNSHO, occuring for two reasons:

- They don't think that GWB will win, and they're ingratiating themselves with the MSM to re-join the club after the inauguration; and/or

- they have seen that The Sheep are not watching them, so they are trying to appeal more to The Sheep.

Because The Sheep outnumber the rest of us, and they all vote.

[Woogit]

You may be right, but perhaps we all need to remind them that it was the left that was protesting against them during the RNC! About an hour ago, I was reading their ticker tape...several quotes from Kerry and then straight into news from Iraq...nothing about Bush quotes. Does FOX honestly believe that it was the left who made them so popular?

[Old Sarge]

Their online polls were DU'ped, their advertisers are Leftists, and Fox's heaviest hitters for ratings are Billy O, and Greta von Gasbag.

Sounds like their leaning Left is a reaction to reality.

Shame on the New York Observer for lying by ommission.
Chris Wallace called Hillary on using a question about her husband's health as spinning for the Kerry campaign.
Shame on them.
Fred Barnes also recanted his win for Kerry the following day and noted why - the transcript, other analysis, etc.

For the New York Observer to lie like this is reprensible.

[mabelkitty]

Not a good idea.
Do you not think the O'Reilly situation is having a rippling effect, because it definately is.
Just leave it alone until after the election.
We have no idea what is going on in-house.

[Woogit]

Just by watching the general coverage as of late, I'd say it is obvious that they are taking a left turn and I'm not sure what O'Reilly's situation would have to do with their overall coverage of the news. What does the Kerry camp have on all of FOX that they could force this lean to the left? It looks like a willing curve to me.

[mabelkitty]

It looks like paranoia to me.

[b2stealth]

I don't think they care, I think mr. O is just a populist he likes a good show..

Don't trust them, read FR instead!

[kddid]

My television used to stay on Fox, but with the recent coverage, I have been flipping the channel more and more. If it continues, Fox will be just another CNN.

Fox isn't as good as it used to be.... seems they have all sat on a pickle lately.
