“Haven’t watch FOX news for about a year now. It is absolutely correct to label them the GOP establishment shills. Not anything they should be proud of and certainly not fair and balanced.”

I too have watched what was an opposing voice to broadcast networks turn to the comfortable position of “going along to get along”. Can’t watch it anymore.

I admit, I fell for the old Bait and Switch that FOX played so well.

Once Glenn Beck left, pushed out, whatever, the tidal shift of FOX became apparent even to this once loyal follower.

Outside of GBTV who or what will be the source of real news the Marxist enemy within the MSM refuses to show/print/tell?

Who will expose the SELF AVOWED communists, Maoists, Marxists using their own words like Glenn Beck did?

You are free to dismiss every OPINION Glenn brought forth on his show but you cannot dismiss (unless you are a lying liberal) all the SELF AVOWED admissions of anti-American scum which are infecting every corner of our government.

So again I ask, what network, national newspaper, will cover REAL news and not Whitney Houston 24/7? I certainly do not see any other source.

And if we are going to rely on only the internet wild, wild West style coverage then what will we do when Google does a little censorship, for our own good of course?

“BOR is the one on the left...”

Hehehehe - I agree - I never watch him, although his book about his growing up years was rather entertaining.

Time for a “real” conservative network to rise. I agree with all here. FOX has turned left.

A lot of the leftist idiots they put on there in the name of “balance” just make my head want to explode. John Dingell’s wife peddling a plan for the Dems to retake the House? I mean, really!

If I want my head to explode I’ll flip over to Current.
At least Olbermann can be far more entertaining when he launches into his absurd leftist rants.

FOX never claimed to be a conservative network. It just looked that way because it covered topics that the LSM wouldn't touch and gave reasonable airtime to non-LSM facts and opinions.

Also, when you say “conservative network”, do you mean one that (as the LSM does for RATs/RINOS/progressives etc.) buries inconvenient stories or spins them to political advantage for conservatives? Or where opinion is presented as news?

And Hannity gushing over Beckel as though he’s some sort of friendly rival is stomach turning. Can’t watch Hannity any more.

The grumblers were picking up on a strategy that has been under way for some time — a “course correction,” as Fox chief Roger Ailes put it last fall — with the network distancing itself from the tea party cheerleading that characterized the first two years of President Barack Obama’s presidency. Lately, Fox has increasingly promoted its straight-news talent in the press and conducted some of the toughest interviews and debates of the Republican primary season. Just last week, it hired the openly gay liberal activist Sally Kohn as a contributor.

It's become blatantly obvious to even casual viewers. When you see Debbie Wasserman-Schultz as a guest commentator more than twice a day, or when you see Howard Dean more than once a week, the jig is up.

I still watch Fox News, just so I know what the liberal GOP operatives are up to, then I switch to CNN when there's something actually newsworthy going on. The GOP after-debate coverage on CNN is quite superior and less biased than that of Fox News.
