Fox News Ratings Plunge (Ailes Reaping What He Sowed)
Newser ^ | December 1, 2011 | Mark Russell

“Half the time he acts like he doesn’t believe it”.

And he smiles when he’s saying it..like it’s all a big joke.

"The Five"

I like Gutfield, but they should ditch Beckel. He's a singularly unattractive tv and radio personality. Too bad they can't give Breitbart a slot somewhere.

Me too. They seem to have quickly forgotten the formula that put them on the top. Lately, they’ve mainly been “fair and balanced” to the left. Too much Geraldo, Juan Williams, Combs, Beckel and other foaming at the mouth crazy libs. I know that I don’t watch the channel as much as I once did.

“Replacing Beck with Bob Beckel was the last straw!”

I agree, I was mainly watching The Five for Kimberly G. She is plenty hawt. However Beckel is too much to bear. Juan is worse when he subs for Beckel. I emailed The Five to have those two irritants replaced with Leslie Marshal. Also stopped watching Bill O, he interrupts too much. Shep is much to boring can’t take him at all. Hannity is also getting boring.

Here’s what I find watchable on Fox:

1. McCallum and Hemmer.
2. Cavuto
3. B’OR’s talking points...(I know, I know).
Miller for laughs and Tonya Reiman for body language.
4. Judge Jeannine on Saturday night.

I want FOX to put Sarah Palin on The Five. Or else replace Grinchin with her on FOX and Friends, LOL

That would be a hoot!

Thanks so that explains why he kisses Obama’s ass. So much for ‘fair and balanced’.

How about we start our own network?

During the day, I’ve switched to Fox Business when I want something to listen to. At night, we no longer watch any Fox News programs.

During the evenings especially. My TV is on FBN. During the daytime I'm listening to the radio with the TV on mute.

Where'd you come from newbie, DUmmy wasteland?

In my opinion this might be one reason why FReepathons last so long. It's impossible to get new members when they are treated like dirt for having an opinion. Old FReepers get disgusted and quit or get banned for idological impurity. New ones don't stay because they are treated like crap for having a sign up date less than ten years old. Hell, half the stuff I believed ten years ago would get me banned now, but I learned from some good FReepers willing to teach me instead of treat me like dirt.

"While I am at it what on earth does Dana Perino have to contribute to any conversation ?"

The sum of what she contributes adds up to "duh."

Beckel and Colmes are FOX’s answer to Joy Behar and Mika Brzezinski.

Bob Beckel, that was a bad move. Now the bring back Allan Colmes, that person is the most disgusting of all, gutter liberal asp and the only one I can think of who makes James Carville look good.

It’s not an election year.

It's nearing the height of primary season. We are 30 days or so away from the first voting. You think that would cause viewership to rise.

Yeah...I’ll take that comparison...

Wow. Here a month and already trashing Fox News.

Let me guess, your next target is that evil, dirty Republican Party.

Those rats! (Oh, wait, that name’s already taken.)

Agreed, if I want liberal crapola I will watch CNN, PMSNBC, CNBS, or any of the big three propaganda outlets.

I watch FNC on occasions but geraldo and shep smith as serious FAIR reporting, please.

FNC, just give me the news, let me decide or have you forgot that little slogan?
