Any old timers remember the postings about Fox News ratings back in the day when we were excited it was 75% of CNN’s rating while on 50% fewer markets?

Back when it really seemed conservative?

And the idiot politicians and others will still mock it. And by mocking it, they mock Americans.

I know what you mean, but it's still much better than the alternative obozo channels.

Only ones I care about are all of the Five minus Bob and Perino, all of Outnumbered minus that pig Kennedy, Baier (my fave) and Judge Jeanine.

Well, gee whiz! If they are that good, can they please stop displaying their female commentators like lambs on a hook? No sleeves, low cut blouses, tall chairs, legs displayed all over the place, and skirts nearly reaching their crotches.

Does Fox actually think that makes them more believable?

Only Greta and Dana Perino seem to have something written in their contracts that allows them to dress professionally.

Liberals hate successful business. Especially when they can’t compete.

Heck, I remember when CNN started. My mother and I stayed up late becuase of all the conservative news that was finally available. Just shows how far we have come. Even Chris Matthews was once seen as the only man with the balls to take on the libs.

Pretty good, if ESPN is included in the mix. They always had to exclude sports in comparisons. Not any longer.

Still, the Presidential election is decided by those who don’t watch any news shows. Not the midterms, however. They can’t be bothered.

Naturally, this article will draw the usual “FOX ain’t conservative” posts. The article is about their ratings, not their politics.

And there’s already some prude complaining about the attractive women. Go watch the she-male on MSNBC.

Not really surprised. Its more of a numbers game. There’s a long line of left leaning orgs to divide the liberal audience. There’s only one consistent right leaning network for conservative minded folks.

Insert the Mark Twain quote..

Yeah, yeah...I can hear the griping and legitimate complaints now:

Greta is obsessed with missing white girls.

Ted Baxter is not a conservative but a populist.

Megyn is a whiff on social issues.

Hannity is a blowhard.

But they're soooo much closer to "fair and balanced" than the SWILL that passes for "news" on the PMSNBC and CNN....

Maybe someday One America News Network will get ramped up and start competing for some talent and distribution, and there will be two alternative networks for objective journalism.

Props to Fox.

Wish you would give a platform to some of the new, young conservatives.....

O.K. I’ll admit it, I watch FOX news and never CNN or MSNBC.

In the am I’m forced to watch the libs, Charlie Gibson, Oprah’s friend and the leftist twit. They do make me laugh, especially when Norah scowls during the conservative guest interview and then pees her pants when talking to a lib or something about omamaba.

No. More watchable.
