Fox News Takes a Sharp Left Turn
The American Thinker ^ | 7-18-17 | Peter Barry Chowka

If any doubts remain that Fox News is continuing to serve from its conservative roots, they were removed on July 16, 2017 when...

I barely watch Fox News anymore, but I do still watch Fox Business.

American Thinker has a firm grasp of the obvious!

The Murdoch boys, and wives, have pulled Faux Snooze decidedly left in the past two years! And, it's only gonna get worse!

I suspect there's an audience shift happening here.

Let me make my case and hear others' reaction:

  1. Fox wants ratings like all the cable channels. And during the election they mixed it up with the Trump hate squad: Megyn Kelly and others.

  2. But with Ailes gone, any desire to defend a conservative view is much reduced. They want high ratings to sell ads.

  3. Most of the smart people have stopped watching TV news. They can find what they want on YouTube where there's no commercials.

  4. That leaves a much smaller -- and less desirable in buying power -- audience to fight for among the cable channels.

  5. So Fox aims to remain king of cable news and that means catering to the Trump-haters and Obama phone crowd who watch TV news, so they will wean themselves of their remaining Deplorable audience - and throw them an occasional bone.

  6. They also figure it's just a matter of time where social media channels supporting Trump will appear. So trying to lead the Trump parade is not going to work for them. Bill Mitchell, for example, is leading a push into a pro-Trump TV/social media platform with his YourVoice America.

What do you think?

Faux News, along w CNN and PMSNBC are all de-listed from my TV channel listing.
I find now I sleep better not having to scream at the TV at the idiotic Talking Heads.

Tucker and Sean had best find a new job as Faux is going to die fast.

Lou Dobbs is a warrior. Surprised if he’s not a freeper.

I stay with Fox Business.......unless Cavuto is on, Cavuto is antiTrump and doesn’t hide it!
LOVE Lou Dobbs and Varney!

I use to like Fox and Friends.....sometimes I still do, but it’s not a must watch like it use to be.

I hope a new conservative network emerges.

There is! Check out One America News Network (channel 347 if you have DirecTV); it has some flaws, but I like the coverage.


Cannot be stated enough. OANN is the ONLY news network left for conservatives. If you can't get it from cable, get a $40 Amazon firestick at Walmart. Then order the DirectNowTV app $37 (Different from DirectTV). Start your day off with REAL news and leave. "political opinion" behind.

The problem is political opinion. I already have one, and I could care less what others "think". The other news media's are for people who cannot thinkfor themselves, needing others to think for them. Those who want to see REAL NEWS watch OANN.

absolutely Left.

Yes, you need not go any further than watching Dana P. on the 5.

She is the absolute “Epitome” of Hillary Junior!
Case in point yesterday;, right after Kimberly G. lays out the facts , - pertaining to how Trump Jr. was targeted and set-up.

Dana’s response: “Well I’m not convinced with any conspiracy theory against him.”

She is such a anti-Trumper.....ever since her boy “JEBB” was pictured picking his nose on coast to coast TV.

Fox-News makes me sick with their Left leaning BULL-ROAR!

Juan “The Raciest” is a Total JOKE with his lame defense of Obama’s appalling and disgusting actions . Clearly, Obama was the Worst President, of the entire history of the USA.

I think we should all sit on the sofa and await the new conservative leaning programs which will be airing (with the LORDs help) in the coming months. New faces, some unknown to us at this time; old faces vanished. Read just yesterday Megyn’s future outlook at her new non-FOX network is already on the skids.

Just a float, bouncing along in the waters of life, traveling in the current.

At what point did “swerve” in the title become “serve”? How does that happen?

BOR - one of the best shows he’s done was not political. Several years ago he had James Arness (GUNSMOKE) on his FACTOR. My DH still talks about that show and how well it was done. Bill, it seemed, actually checked his ego at the door and the two spoke like old friends and equals. The interview was far too short, but it was splendid. Not long after, James passed on.

I long ago realized what I was watching was not news, it was all agenda all the time.

************

Yep, the so-called “news” is nothing but commentary wrapped in an entertainment package. They are good at their slick presentations which camouflage the leftist agendas they’re pushing.

It takes some effort but its always worth doing your own due diligence if you want to discover the real truth about anything.

Not sure about the 40% owned by Saudis, but it’s majority owned by Aussie snowflake Murdoch sons.

Haven’t seen it in years. Flashy backgrounds, babes and people talking over each other do not translate to good news coverage.

Include Drudge Report with FoxNews’ sharp left turn.

I don’t visit Drudge, anymore.
