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.

The only thing that has changed at Fox is that they have dropped the pretense of “fair and balanced”.
Since it’s inception, the only reason fox has seemed to be to the right is that all other news channels are so far to the left.
wonder if this will be in Rush’s pile on Monday
Same here.
Except to see the headlines a few times during the day, I have all but quit watching Fox. Mainly, I don’t tune in because they report every little thing Trump does & I’m tired of it! There is other news to report on........
Seriously? You didn't already have that sorted out a year ago?
Anyone who wants airhead attractive women can do better on thousands of internet sites.
Besides FOX allocated young women to fawn over their middle-aged male ‘talent’...
We should break out the champagne! Pay for what you’ve done to your viewers, Fox!!
Really.
100% right.
I say similar things all the time. But I usually put it in terms of being silent on the Constitution, our freedoms, and our liberties being either ignored, dismantled, or outright abrogated.
Most (but now all) of the traditional media keeps the masses from looking at that ‘man behind the curtain’.
I mean most of both the traditional and non-traditional media
Sure, litmus test.
You, for example, are someone to be avoided.
Litmus test.

Doubt it.
Maybe because every time I turn to Fox News, at random times during the day, they are ALWAYS speaking/reporting/advertising for Trump. It’s the Trump 24/7 show.
It’s beyond getting old.....
Fox is getting so boring.
We didn’t realize how bad Faux News was til we started flipping over to CNN. They suddenly sound almost fair and balanced. LOL!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Funny surprise to us too. CNN always has them beat on breaking news, which is all I care about and now hubby had seen the light with Ms Kelly. We are Fox news free...
I watch Judge Jeanine and that is about it. Gretta and Hannity are Ok but the rest I can do without.
What happened?
She may be having a midlife crisis with younger buddy Sally Kohn.
Lou Dobbs is good.
If you need to protect that narrative, then probably so.
I agree. When she revealed her bias and absence of fairness and balance, she at least had her LOOKS going for her. But this greaser bulldyke get-up blew THAT to smithereens.
