Vanity - Anyone Else Through With Fox?
116/12 | dagogo redux

Posted on 11/06/2012 10:46:12 PM PST by dagogo redux

I don't usually bother with TV at all, but my wife seems to want to get her news from Fox for reasons beyond me. We have a home theater system, and invited our neighbors over tonight to watch the election returns on Fox with us.

We were appalled by the process through which the Fox morons cheerfully dismissed state after state before the facts were even in, a pattern epitomized when some babe strutted in smarmy fashion down to their "Decision Room" to humor Carl Rove's contention that Ohio had been called far too prematurely for Obama.

It was an amazingly amateurish, overly glitzy production throughout, and one where every single Fox News person seemed more than glad, titillated in fact, that Obama had won. I found it disgusting beyond words.

I left Fox long ago, but I think my wife finally saw the light tonight. We're done with the. May they rot in whatever hell they go to.

Obama has 4 years of executive orders to sign.

Nowhere was Hannity or Greta during tonight’s coverage. BOR began the Debbie Downer chrous. Also remember a major investor in FNC is Saudi. On it’s best day, a person should accept anything reported by Fox with skepticism.

I watched The Blaze (Beck's "network") all night, never even considered looking at the other networks. They did a nice job with the coverage, albeit mostly in-studio coverage. No losers like Rove or Morris to ruin what was already a depressing night. If you are looking for an alternative, this is probably the place to look (and who knows what Obama's FCC will do to media coverage).

I watched the Blaze for the most part. They still need more programming but I thought their election coverage was fairly good. They didn’t call states as quickly as the other channels but I was ok with that. They also weren’t afraid to bring religion into the conversation, which I liked. I’m no Mormon but I do think God is the only answer, in the long run.

Fox does need to dump Rove and Dick Morris, and O’Reilly too while they’re at it, and Hannity.

Hell, never mind, keep them all, I won’t watch anyway. I have this site, the Blaze, Breitbart, Drudge and a few others I can still count on.

I switched away from Fox to The Blaze, and it was so much better. No Bob Beckel in sight, just honest discussion in an intellectual manner.

About all I watch anymore is “The Five” and “Redeye”.

The rest is stoopit like BOR(though I do try to catch the sage), Mascara Boy and a few others.

I like the morning program as I prepare for the day but for the most part Fox is boring.

Besides, Freepers is duh best at getting information.

They suck, their prognosticators were all wrong, and their election night coverage pales before cnn’s. John king and his magic board are tremendous and king is very fair. P’us, early tonight Snakehead said “OL Romney got to win evry game heah and brack Obama has only to show up.” Or something like that. I thought that was so annoying, but snake head was right! No need for a trashcan on his head.

One of the largest shareholders of Fox News’ parent company is a Saudi sheik. You don’t think he bought that large stake in the company because he thinks Sean Hannity is “a great American” and Shep Smith is heterosexual, do you?

She should watch her back she may just end up dying of natural causes especially if she unearths more lies about Obama he is going to go even more thug on everyone who tries to shine a light on what he did.

You have to do more than just not watch. You have to boycott their advertisers. That’s what pays those huge paychecks. Ratings hurt. But boycotts hurt more.

People pay money for FOX?
Not me and can’t see why anyone would.
FOXsters are Obama voters.

I am not usually the disallusion type, but what is going to happen now, and how soon? It’s done, now a fact that we are all going to be on the public dole and half are already.

I was taken aback that Megyn Kelly seemed extremely perky announcing Obama’s victory.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not suggesting she was actually happy abut the outcome, but it was like she was intentionally trying to appear bright, upbeat and chipper.

I found it extremely odd and offensive.

And WHAT was going on with the dismissal of the states so readily, as you mentioned??? What???

And calling Ohio before the votes were counted. thoroughly disgusting.

I have no idea why people turn on that garish circus sideshow called Fox. It drives me batty.
