Trump-Effect: Fox News Channel’s Brand Takes 50% Hit Among Republicans
Breitbart ^ | February 17, 2016 | by John Nolte

Posted on 02/28/2016 8:18:09 AM PST by COUNTrecount

Just last week, a years-long tradition came to a screeching halt. “You want me to put it on Fox News,” I asked my wife. “No,” she replied. “I’m done with Fox News.”

My job is to monitor the mainstream media, which is something that eats up about 14 hours of a day that begins at 6 a.m. when the cable morning shows begin. Lying next to me, my good sport of a wife suffers through about an hour of “Morning Joe,” whatever they call that left-wing garbage fire on CNN, and the rest. Out of habit, before I head to my desk, without really asking I always ask, “You want me to put it on Fox?”

Fox News has a problem, and not just with my wife. According to a YouGov Brand Index survey, the perception of Fox News among Republicans has hit a three-year low, “has declined by approximately 50% since January of this year.”

Basically, perception of Fox News has returned to those bad old Dick Morris days after President Obama won re-election. Much of the fall has come in the last few months. There is no question that this precipitous drop is the result of Fox’s ongoing war with Donald Trump.

This might be a good time to tell you that my wife is not a Trump supporter. Her frustrations and disappointment in Fox News have nothing to do with her personal political preference. Like many, it is something much larger than that.

“There is no question that this precipitous drop is the result of Fox’s ongoing war with Donald Trump.”

And the lion’s share of that can be laid at the feet of twinkle toes herself.

FOX you Megyn!

Breitbart is exposing Murdoch’s open borders plan. He is worse than George Soros. The Australian turned American in the middle of the night so he could buy Fox is evil

Fox, you can thank Megyn for all her unbiased journalism.

Oh wait, you are now so biased you don't see it, right?

You don't get it either. I used to be a fan, I don't go there anymore to listen to the bloviated interrupters.

Looks like they should have fired Megyn right after that first debate.Would have saved millions in lost ad revenue.

Exactly ...FOX is really no different than MSNBC ...they promote different aspects of the same globalist agenda , tailored to their respective Left/Right audiences ...everyone’s globalist agenda is being exposed either directly or indirectly by Trump

That what happens when you go from “fair and balanced” To “we decide and then tell you”.

O'Reilly and Kelly File are where they are most vulnerable because those are the cash cows. That said, I don't think that old fossil who owns Fox gives much of a rip about ratings at times, as long as he's getting his jollies, like breaking bread with Jeb! and Valerie Jarret.

I have been Faux free since Trump opted out of their lynching party aka the phoney debate in Iowa. Boycott Fox, send Murdoch and his two rectum sons, packing back to Oz, where he came from! Murdoch take MGYN with you to Oz.

FNC has gone from “We report, you decide” to “here’s what we want you to think”. It went downhill faster than Cronkite and SeeBS during the Tet Offensive.

This photo is really remarkable.  Thanks for digging this up.

All the nonsense that Jeb! complained about Hillary coming to Trump's wedding kind of goes up in smoke when you see this picture.

The Uni-Party, Uni-Media conspiracy.
