The deception of Fox News
Personal Opinion | 6/11/2016 | David C. Herbert

Posted on 06/11/2016 11:43:32 AM PDT by DH

Since the dawning of Fox News I have been one of the most loyal watchers. It was the only bastion of factual, actual and truthful news. Until now, it was the only credible source of news whether on the net or on the TV networks. It became my only source of “unfiltered” news other than Free Republic, Drudge and a very few others. As time went by things seemed to change. It took a “sea change” when their “boy” did not get the nod from the American people who were conservative Republican voters and Donald Trump prevailed. Even as Trump was struggling to head the party they put their “media whore” in the position to spew hate and propaganda against him and his “ignorant supporters.” More and more hate of him spewed forth each and every night as I watched Fox news. It has now reached the point that I actually think Fox is an arm of the GOPe, especially when they hold up their “white hope…Romney” as the “man!” Today, I’ve made the decision that us “little, hardworking, law abiding, and honest citizens” have absolutely no news source on cable TV to watch any longer. The political filth simply spews forth and poisons the minds of ignorant watchers who believe they are hearing and seeing the actual truth of what is actually happening. We are in trouble…BIG TROUBLE in this country for thanks to the Republican Party and its biased news in support of the current regime and “business as usual” in the corruption of government, they will implode and along with it bring the election of Hillary and her criminals into absolute power that will forever change our government, freedoms and way of life. It does not matter to the Republican Party since the elite have already made their personal fortunes by screwing the American people and lying in bed with their Wall Street cronies, for they will receive special favors from the Communist Democrat party for their allegiances and destruction of the only candidate who represented the actual people who paid the bills for the government. I’m sick of it and to hell with all in Fox News and other pseudo conservative shills who lie to the populace and hope for favors and “bread” from the incoming tide of liberals and progressives who will end America as we know it….or better yet as we knew it. After “broadsides after broadsides” against Trump and the conservatives of this country, I feel that due to the “dumbing down of America” in our public schools, higher education, the media (both written and broadcast) and the fact that today’s society (those who are now 15 to 45) have absolutely no idea of what life was like in America prior to the 70’s. It simply sickens me to think that thanks of Fox News alone, the free and beautiful way of American life that we used to know will finally end. Thanks Fox News. You will surely regret what you are doing and when it happens, you can’t take it back!

Try putting into writing a cogent thought as well reasoned as this post.

FORMAT YOUR HEART OUT.

You’ve still missed the point. Eddie Haskell.

Me too. I’m down to Judge Jeanine, Hannity and Waters World and Lou Dobbs on Fox Business. Most of my old Fox News time is now spent on line. Even Bolling Plays both sides. Used to love the Five. Dana, Juan and now Gutfeld are unwatchable. Cut off talk radio as well.

And .. Rupert has turned over the FNC portion of their empire to his sons. I noticed a huge change at that time; and there are now only a few programs I ever watch.

In fact, that’s when the transformation of Kelly began.

“I read it. Have we got some non-readers here?”

That may be diagnostic of some sort of self abusement profile or OCD. Not that one would rule out the other.

He’s been a big critic of Obama. I don’t hold grudges forever.

I turned them off in 2012 during the re-election of Obama, along with all live sources. Now I read what I choose from a variety of sources. FR is the best for news anyway.

Talk about losers! Keeping the ever-fatter Karl Rove on with his stupid, inaccurate whiteboard is so dated, dumb, and consistently WRONG! He should have been tossed after the Romney "victory" prediction. Shep is a sickening liberal (Mr. Katrina--where's my water-man). Geraldo is a shallow mess. Megyn Kelly's days are numbered as she is so impressed with herself it is sickening. But Eric Bollin is still consistent, Gufield is witty in his criticism. Mort, Fred, and Kristol are gone. And who doesn't want to look at Kimberly G.? O'Reilly and Hannity still give Trump decent airtime.

I am not done with FNC yet but this election cycle will test their metal.

Hitting the enter key twice while your are typing won’t post, it’ll just create a (sorely needed) paragraph break.

Like this.

I knew that something was wrong with FN on the night of the 2008 elections. Hannity seemed a little too eager to claim that concerns about Obama’s citizenship qualifications were no longer an issue.

And despite concerns of ballot box stuffing by Democrats in several states, O’Reilly claimed no problems with voting.

Although I had been fooled by FN for years, in my book now, FN is the conservative media front-end for the corrupt Washington cartel.

Patriots are not going to learn about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers from FN.

FNC claims to be fair and balanced and when it comes to Trump they seem to be. True enough there are some #nevertrumpsters, but Eric Bolling is so far up Trump’s ass he can smell Sean Hannity’s breath, and O’Reilly is not far behind

Rowdy Yates/ Clint Eastwood was on "Rawhide".

You meant "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, RIP, from the NWA (wrestling).

It became my only source of “unfiltered” news other than Free Republic, Drudge and a very few others.

I don't read anything written by anyone with such pitiful language skills. 'Only' is unequivocal. We all benefit from a good editor; some more than others. And, once over that hurdle, preview works for everybody.

I stopped watching tv news all together when with everything going on in the world they would always fixate on the next Natalie Holloway 24/7 for months, with “fox news alerts” every 10 minutes

My 2 cents:

A. The GOPe has given up on this election and WANTS Trump to lose, so they can win in 2020

B. The GOPe wants to sabotage Trump and get a back door candidate at the convention for 2016

I have Verizon FiOs and I switched to One America News last August after Megyn Kelly’s dreadful display at the first debate. I had my suspicions about Faux News before that but that bitch sealed the deal. It’s off in this house and I haven’t looked back since.

Agree with that statement! It’s selling their news via showing legs and cleavage. On some of their talk shows they show and show and show. Sitting becomes a knack.
