After Months of Constant Attacks on GOP Front-Runner Trump – Conservatives Lose Faith in FOX News
Gateway Pundit ^ | February 27,2016 | Jim Hoft

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.

Could we go over this one more time? Are you for or against Trump?

What’s happening Brit

I hear Brit got trapped between Megyn's thighs. Long gone is the Brit Hume that stood up to Bill Clinton. I'll take the 80's Lynne Russell's cleavage and flat shoes over todays Megyn's legs and stilleto heels.

FOX with its fake “Fair and Balanced” which really means giving leftists a forum to spew their nonsense. If one presents facts showing the earth is round does it therefore mean one must give the “Flat Earthers” an opportunity to present their case?

Now that is hilarious! Been saying the same thing to my girlfriend who is an unabashed Kelly fan. I told her pretty soon she would be in a mullet

I am not against him, but I don’t support him. I appreciate the good things he’s done for New York and other communities. I think he’d be a great mayor, for example.

I have too many serious reservations about him to support him for President.

Your bullying and gas lighting tactics are not working.

We know that you are the con man, who uses bullying and gas lighting like all bullies.

What’s wild is that both Eric Bolling and Andrea Tantaros who have defended Trump then have had to be smeared and attacked at by other people on Fox News. Gateway Pundit mentioned that several contributors and guests on Fox News from publications like the National Review have bashed and made crude remarks against her after she defended Trump, on her show Outnumbered, thru social media and in conversations.

While we frogs have been slowly simmered by the GOP, it is Fox and ‘conservative’ radio, ezines and blogs that kept telling us to be patient and not jump. Distracting us while our houses were plundered.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You captured my thoughts EXACTLY. I could not put it into words! For months now, since the FIRST Megyn debate, I have gone FOX FREE.

Looking back, and after being all-in with Morning Joe, I had to wonder was it possible that I had sucked up for years all the FOX talking points, which have brought us to political civil war.

Joe and Mika have given TRUMP his rein since LAST JUNE! It has been informative every.single.day. on TRUMP. Now, it may all change back to the LEFT once we have a nominee, but for NINE MONTHS they have all but supported TRUMP.

I credit them with the reportedly 20% Democrat support TRUMP has now. Trump has not peddled the GOPE political agenda leading to nowhereville, but COMMON SENSE, and MJ have entertained that agenda.

This is an amazing stat and important date re boycott Faux.

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.

Any one buying ads on Faux and wants to target us with those ads, are wasting their money. Faux has Macyied themselves with their hatred of Trump and us.

Guilfoyle is still mostly conservative as is Judge Pirro.

It’s not just FNC that is committing suicide, Limbaugh has completely lost it as well.

Honestly.

Watching FOX perpetuates their ESTABLISHMENT clout.

Voting “LESSER OF TWO EVILS” and knee jerk Repulican ESTABLISHMENT candidates killed us.

We are REWARDING FOX when we give them even a five minute view, btw, in ratings.

We have to STOP it.

Good idea. But, I haven’t a clue about electronics and getting up on OAN, and can not get comfortable watching my computer as a TV. You know what I mean?

How can you stand PeRino, Gutfeld, Geraldo, and Juan Williams? And Bolling stutters so bad he is impossible to understand at times. Without Guilfoyle “The Five” would be history.

‘Outnumbered’ isn’t bad with the sound off.

I did really enjoy one moment of a very short break in my boycott of Faux news shown below:

Pouting petty bourgeois Faux mainstream media pundits after Trump was declared the winner in SC!

$crew Faux by not turning them on.

I just checked FOX out because of this thread, and I NEVER view FOX except if I know TRUMP is going to make an appearance.

I heard RUBIO and went ballistic. He was on all three cables. I switched to CSPAN! HA!

You are SO correct.

There are basically NO “conservatives” left in DC.

The Establishment and the MSM have stolen that label for themselves and the msm has fallen right in with the ruse.

Everybody is “conservative” now.

Guess we should be flattered, but they are trying to ride through on our backs to more power.
