FOX is 'too balanced(?) for my values and their wannabe talking heads ('balancing acts' as I call them) just plain disgust me.
But I do miss Megyn Kelly!

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.

Been waiting for this headline. Us common folk out here know that the “repositioning”’ of FOX will not profit them.
This report compares Nov 2011 vs Nov 2010, there is no way that the ratings wouldn't go down after an election year.
Now if next year, the FOX ratings are down, then FOX has a problem.
This is a BS comparison.
For me firing Glenn Beck and replacing him with the Five (Beckle/Perino) turned me off to the channel. I still watch Cavuto.
FNC also capitalized and promoted the ‘Will Sarah Run?” stories this past spring and early summer while she was working there as a political analyst. That was a short term strategy that was bound to backfire when it became obvious she was not really running, which the Seniors at FNC must have known all along.
FOX has become a Romney supporter.
FOX is 90% INFOTAINMENT; strange wierd stuff (SWS), theatrical micro-news . For significant factual information related Global, National and Local news, it’s the web.
This is silly. The big news: “Fox is still on top”. Wow.There’s big news. My guess is that Everyone’s ratings dropped but they neglected to mention that.
Is Beckel on 24/7 or does it just seem that way?
I watch very little when he is on. I think even he doesn't know what he is saying!
I mean, anybody so stupid that he writes a check to a prostitute and we're supposed to listen to his opinion?
I turn on FOX and friends in the morning mostly for background noise but I’m tuning even that out more and more.
The way they keep bashing Herman Cain and propping up Newt Gingrich is truly disgusting. They need to get rid of Carl Cameron and Shep Smith ASAP.
That’s OK - it gives the coffee-klatch opportunity for ripostes.
Button holing.
crewel
needling
passing camels thru eyes of needles
pinning the blame
putting a zipper on it
hemming and hawing
Take it away
I did happen to catch Shep the other day...he looked terrible! His face was all sunken in there were dark shadows in the hollows of his cheeks and under his eyes. He looked bad! I quickly changed the channel. ((shudder))
I only watch fox and friends on weekdays.
Gawd - he’s awful. He is worse than Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz. Big, fat, sweaty - cannot speak coherently and is so full of hate - he’s scary crazy.
TV is played. It had a good run, but it's over.

When Beck's on-line TV show came out, I subscribed. Like everything about it, even the advertisers. Beck is adding other shows to the TV line up.
Wonder how that compares to the overall decline in cable viewership? I dropped Fox News only because I dropped Cable TV in general—too much $$ for too little value added. Now get streaming content from my Roku box exclusively. I’ve heard a lot of people are doing the same.

You must not really watch Fox then. Hannity and Greta, even Oreally are lapping all over Newt.
I would much rather listen to Chris Plante, Rush, and Mark Levin than watch Fox.
