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

Fox News is still leading the cable news ratings race—but for how long? Fox's overall ratings for November dropped 13% compared to the same month last year, reports Mediabistro.

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

My target all along has been the corrupt, decrepit GOP, ever since this:

Next for GOP leaders: Stopping Sarah Palin

Are you just now figuring that out?

And I suppose that you are a Republican first, and a Conservative distant second? No?

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.

Well said. I understand the need for caution but too many potentially good Freepers are made to feel unwelcome. Ironically, we let the trolls win by being overly preoccupied with them. A certain paranoia has crept in.

Things have definitely changed here over the years. Used to be you'd come here and encounter a fairly wide spectrum of non-liberal opinions, but increasingly that spectrum has narrowed. It's gotten to the point where i feel i have to go outside of FR more often than i used to in order to get a better sense of what the average non-liberal person is thinking.

I supported Palin while you were still in high school trying to get laid.

(How that work out, by the way?)

You’re a juvenile, punk, idiot newbie who should spend some time reading and conversing before you start posting articles and pontificating.

You think you’re smart.

You’re just a smartass.

I quit watching Fox News when I realized that FreeRepublic provided all the news I would ever need!

I’m not surprised that, living in your mom’s basement and drinking lots of diet coke to keep you fueled, you are adept at gifs.

How do you divide your time between FR and DU, by the way?

Do you have two screens?

Did your mom spring for that?

BTW, in your many days here at FR, have you found any time to post criticisms of the rest of the MSM and the DNC, or is it only Fox and the GOP that really tick you off?

(Does it make you more popular in class when you stand up and rant about those Evil Republicans? I bet the girls really like that. Even some without pimples, right?)

There can be no more debate. The issue is settled. Fox News is a victim of man-made Global Viewing Habit Change.

1. It stopped having news
2. It hired a ton of liberal operatives
3. On big news events, it is the slowest to the story

A lot of the new hotness they hired isn’t as smart or as conservative as the old hotness. Patty Ann Brown is mostly missing in action.

FOX is the only News channel I watch - apart from a local station in the morning for weather.

Have not watched so much recently because the news is so depressing.

Not FOX's fault but I must change the channel every time Zero appears and sometimes I find something else I enjoy.

How’d you get your Photoshop? BitTorrent?

Are you going to take more courses and get above the rudimentary level?

(Just curious.)

Hey FOX News... How about reporting some freaking news once in a while.

This should be called the FOX talk circuit network or FOX punditry network.

THERE IS NO NEWS. It is all 24/7 talking heads and most of that as dictated by the rest of the MSM. Nothing but politics, Republicans good, Obama bad, blah blah blah.

How about going back to actually covering national news and quit carrying the water for the GOP establishment.

When I read all of the compelling hard news on Free Republic, it reminds me of all the real national news not being covered by FOX News. Let alone real news from Europe. I haven’t watched FOX News in forever because they quit broadcasting news.

Can somebody please tell me if they are giving adequate coverage to the purge of Christians in Iraq, Egypt and Libya.

That is the kind of news I’m talking about. I’m not even demanding that it just serve a Conservative viewpoint. I’m saying there is a huge bounty of newsworthy topics but FOX can’t cover them when they spend 20 hours a day on hosted talking head pundit shows.

Where are the news updates about the Christian purges in the middle east, etc?

That is my point. Fox News just doesn’t bother covering the news anymore. It is all politics and punditry.

Julian Epstein has lied about Everything for years. To an uneducated viewer he “sounds” like he knows what he’s talking about, but he’s a DNC operative like so many others and can lie with a straight face and modulated tones. Just like Obama.

He seems to have fooled the Fox characters. Every time he comes on he says that Fast and Furious started under GWB, and what a wonderful AG Holder is.

“FOX has become a Romney supporter.”

I, too, believe that’s the reason Fox is losing viewers. It used to be that conservatives identified with the viewpoint of most of Fox’s talking heads. Most of them seem to be pro-Romney now, and conservatives know that RINO Romney is not what America needs now.

With the exception of the recent interview of Rush on Greta’s show; I haven’t tuned into FNC since Beck left...
