Brand Index reported:
Since the first GOP presidential debate last August, Fox News Channel seems to have lost its perception mojo with its core right-leaning audience.
By mid February, FNC’s perception by Republican adults 18 and over had reached its lowest point in more than three years, and has declined by approximately 50% since January of this year.
Coinciding with Trump’s rise to front-runner in the GOP presidential race, Fox News Channel has seen its perception by Republicans slide. In early August 2015, right after the first GOP debate aired on Fox News Channel,Trump went on a Twitter war with moderator Megyn Kelly, saying she “bombed” and calling her “a lightweight reporter.”
The picture hasn’t been rosy in terms of the general population either: since last May, Fox News Channel’s perception levels with adults 18+ have uncharacteristically been drawing significantly more negative feedback than positive. At this point, both FNC and CNN are scoring at similar perception levels and they are both negative.

After months of virtually ignoring Ted Cruz, they mean.
I turned Fox News on for a minute last night and I thought Rubio had won the SEC. LOL!
We blame the rest of you NOW.
Out of courtesy I will not mention the two shows, but if this keeps up as liberal hacks, it will be done for me. Megyn Kelly is really very sick and cut her off after her constant trashing of Trump and her silly smirk.
Trump for President.
Exactly right. They set the narrative and the parameters of the discussion.
It’s what they leave out that is often the most important.
I stopped watching thats why I’m FReeping so much !
FOXNews IS the GOPe.
And Neil Cavuto is a liberal who worked for Jimmah Carter ... all his cute little “as a fellow conservative have you considered...” type questions are lies. He needs to be up front about being a liberal democrat.
FOXNews IS the GOPe.

Most people I know or meet want Trump to be our next president. And most of them, like myself have had to give up listening to news talk radio. Every news outlet has been negative on Trump, yet the people support him. We have been misled by the press, politicians, and pundits for so long. The American people are waking up. Trump has many flaws, but where it counts he is dead on target. If the other candidates were that great, they would be the frontrunner.
Which is why I'm surprised that Trump gets favorable coverage in the New York Post.
They ran a Sunday feature a few weeks ago detailing eight or so major building projects of Trump's in Manhattan, They didn't hold back on how well he did the projects, and how much value they added to the city.
My time with FOX had been slowly diminishing for the few years prior to Megyn Kelly’s shameless (and unsuccessful) ‘hit job’ on Trump.
Never watched FOX again, including FBN. Don’t miss it a bit and spend the extra $$$ I save from cutting the cable on thick, juicy steaks and red Italian wine.
I get all I the business and political news on the Internet.
It's knee deep in Trump hysteria.
Ailes stuck to his guns when he should have been maneuvering and sank the ship.
Which is most likely suspiciously timed to come out 7-10 days before the election.
I long for news without opinion.
The recent storm battered the coast with 2 inches of rain.
Not:
The recent storm battered the coast with 2 inches of rain - global warming suspected - interview with experts coming up.
OK I’ve over-simplified here but imagine — “News” could actually be covered in 10-15 minutes minus the speculation.
Is it my imagination or is that how old BBC news of the 50’s-60’s was?
After 1st debate and the continuing anti-Trump and pro-immigration coverage I cut back by recording FNC programs. Would watch them later and use fast forward to go to something I was interested in. With exception of Outnumbered, it was decent. But then quit watching FNC totally.
The biggest reason...”Fair and Balanced” just is a lot of screaming, with leftwing guests just flat out lying. With all the problems going on now...just couldn’t take all the screaming and bs.
Sometimes times will watch CNN, they tend to be more factual. But mostly get what I want from the net now. It’s easier to read lies, than listen to them.....bye bye Fox
Tired of Juan, Geraldo, Gutfeld(bigtime) Perino, Shep(super smart *ss), O’Reilly, Megyn(duh) Powers,Krauthammer and darn near all their other roundtable “luminaries.”
'Screw it. We HATE Trump and we'll slant, push and deceive in any way that we can, for as long as we can.'
Faux News hasn’t treated Cruz kindly either.
Could be an opportunity for OAN to find investors to help the network grow.
Trump supporters aren't any of you either...We do not support candidates who are pro amnesty, pro unfair trade that benefits big business only, pro America destroying 'North American Union', and from what I can see, most of us don't support the Al Qaeda terrorists in Syria with our money, weapons or sympathy...Those so called rebels who you guys support are killing every Christian they can get their hands on...It's reprehensible to watch those clowns on the debate stage try to convince us that those barbarian terrorists are our friends...
I (we) identify with the Russian people any day before we identify with those sub humans...
I think a lot of us feel like this poor animal in the mud. We didn’t put it there.....they did. Let Front Runner Trump do his darnest...and then take what comes. He has just as much right as the person that posted this forum.
