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!
“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 agree 100% on “A” . As for B, they might try, but they will lose. They WILL do everything they can to ruin the convention. Mark my words: You will see bogus “proclamations” condemning various things Trump has said, etc. They will let them vote on these things just to embarrass him,
I wish Trump had taken Ryan up on his offer to step down and not have the convention gavel. He is a backstabber who will do what he can to ruin things. Trump should remove him now as convention head and put somebody in there who would do it right.
He’s been a big critic of Obama. I don’t hold grudges forever.

Well, I do.
Do you want me to go down a list of how Obama has screwed up MY country, your country?
Me too. I am a firm believer in that a leopard can’t change his spots.
It's been all downhill ever since.....especially with the Fox regulars, pundits and contributors, most of whom immediately slipped into the dark side and/or whom are adroitly watching their words and opinions.
Those who sign the lucrative paychecks are the King Frogs and the Fox minions know it very well.
I just added four words to my tag line. Remember, just stopping your TV viewing of a program has NO effect unless you have a device and/or are in a survey with rating companies such as Nielsen.
Hit 'em where it hurts by dropping a fax, letter or email to their advertisers...and continue outing the Fox spielers in this and other public forums......otherwise, doing nothing but tuning them out is fruitless and un-noted, and as the Good Book and the Bard say, "all is vanity"...."signifying nothing" but your own private "sound and fury".
Leni
Yeah? Who pays for it?
Got a job?
Yes, he does!
‘... Rupert has turned over the FNC portion of their empire to his sons. I noticed a huge change at that time...’
I, too, noticed big change when Murdoch son took over. Michael Moore was on Kelly file several times; Ben & Jerry on with Cavuto......many more liberal guests. FNC was the ONLY conservative leaning channel which resulted in its large audience. Liberals have many choices and if FNC becomes just another liberal channel, their ratings will eventually suffer and they’ll deserve what they get.
Bret does not like Trump and has turned into someone I did not know he was. He shows his dislike and it stinks. I can’t watch the kelly file long enough to even give her a chance. Her face and that sarcasm is too much. I will give Greta and O’Reilly a chance most of the time. I watch Hannity until he has the lefties on and they argue.. they call it a debate, I call it unnecessary and change the channel.

FOX is a wall of closet DEMs and RINOs trying to fleece people they believe can be easily bamboozled.
When they put Shep Smith In charge of News, it was crystal clear.
Watch the TIMING. Obama got reelected, and then major players at FOX became critical of Obama.
After he was safely reelected...
At times, I too feel total despair...especially when I see so many millions of Americans that are so bamboozled by the kiss-ass media covering up all the Clinton crimes. The real truth about this new world witch is only discussed by a few patriots on websites like FreeRepublic. God help us to keep this female tyrant out of the White House or our way of life is over!
Fox News free since 2005 - Hurricane Katrina.
Reader here, but with poor tired eyes! Was not able to read it easily. Got the gist and then continued reading the thread.
Good concept there DH - and good thread comments.
I quit watching Fox six months ago for the same reasons. One America News (OAN) (cable) is pretty darn good if you can get it. Sometimes, they are a little amateurish in presentation style, but they are getting better.
“un-noted” ..???
Hmmmm ..?? I believe the ratings TV programs get is very powerful. And, when people stop watching programs, there is a definite rating slump which shows up on lots of records.
This is important because advertisers use those ratings numbers to negotiate the price the network will charge to run an ad - if the ratings are not good .. the advertisers will go elsewhere; they will choose a place where their ads will get many more views.
