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.

I only watch F&F before I get ready for work in the morning. Then I'm pretty much done for the day with FNC.

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 haven't watched FOX since OBozo was selected (by the media).

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!

I would much rather listen to Chris Plante, Rush, and Mark Levin than watch Fox.

Talk radio is where it’s at. GBTV is far more informative than cable news is and it’s not on 24/7.

Fox better stop pushing Romney and get on the Newt-train.

Yup. This is no surprize. Fox is now just like every other ‘news’ station.

I have not watched fox in over a half a year...and don't intend to in the future.

As far as I'm concerned, fox is just another msm.

I’m to the point where I’ll DVR O’reilly and watch just a segment or two . I can’t watch Hannity any more. He just repeats and repeats himself no matter what guest he happens to have on.

FOX has failed to stay fresh. Same old formats and people.

I think FOX & Friends was a good morning show on weekdays. They really need to replace Grinchin and get someone that isn’t as shrill and overbearing. I have gotten to where I will watch only on days she is replaced by someone less overbearing. ugh.

The other shows are getting boring. Hannity with the stupid All American Panel, Greta dragging out the Juan McCain and Linseeds as though we all want to hear them. The Five is unwatchable. RINOs and Beckel. Dana PerRINO is a RINO snit, totally irritating.

ugh, FOX needs a facelift. I have always wondered why News Channels don’t go with more in depth news and less cooking and silly crap.

I would also like to see FOX start going after Obama and do the vetting on him like they do with our candidates. They have been as bad as MSNBC running with the latest unsourced hit pieces on candidates from our side.

Dear Mr. Ailes, I have an idea that might help boost your ratings. If you’d care to hear it, FReep mail me here at FR.

Replacing Beck with Beckel was an insult. Bye-Bye Fox.

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

One can only take so much of repeated scoldings from Bill O’Reilly, Karl Rove and Ann Coulter telling us that MITT IS IT and we’re idiots if we can’t see that.

Same with hannity’s radio show. As soon as Karl and Ann show up behind the mike I change the station.

For the past two months, CNN had edged out MSNBC in A25-54 viewers in primetime, which resulted in MSNBC swapping Ed Schultz and Lawrence O’Donnell‘s time slots in late October. The shake-up appears to have paid off for MSNBC: in November, “The Ed Show” topped CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360″ in total viewers (944,000 vs. 648,000) and the demographic (201,000 vs. 191,000). But despite the strong numbers,MSNBC is down -19% in Total Viewers and down -36% in the A25-54 demo compared to November 2010

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/category/msnbc

To recap and give perspective to this (horseshit) thread lets compare MSNBC to FNC year over year.

The ratings for November, 2011:

Primetime (Mon-Sun): 1.739M Total Viewers / 368K A25-54

Total Day (Mon-Sun): 1.048M Total Viewers / 259K A25-54

And while the network is by far the most watched in cable news, year-over-year FNC is down -13% in Total Viewers (MSNBC is down 19%) and down -16% in A25-54 viewers (MSNBC down 36%) for Total Day viewing. In Primetime the network is down -19% among Total Viewers But despite the strong numbers, MSNBC is down -19% in Total Viewers and down -36% in the A25-54 demo compared to November 2010.

Maybe Fox ought to reevaluate having left wing idiots like Beckel, Juan Williams, Lamont Hill, and Alan Colmes on every night, instead of reasonable, articulate, and rational liberals (maybe an oxymoron) on to argue the democrat side.

All the news stations seem to be tanking. My bet is, in addition to what you pointed out, people in general are sick of the news.

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.
