I don’t have OANN, so if I have news on it’s usually Fox. I turn on F&F in the morning, sometimes as early as 4 am (weekdays).

9 am-noon is usually pretty good, as his Harris Faulkner from 1-2 pm. Sometimes I watch Shannon Bream from 11 pm-midnight. On weekdays I usually don’t watch their primetime shows, because I don’t learn anything from them.

Their weekend primetime shows are pretty good. Mark Levin has some of the best interviews on cable news. Steve Hilton offers an interesting (and very conservative) perspective.

I just ignore what I don’t like.

Hiring Donna Brazile. Her misconduct of giving Hillary Clinton debate questions in advance should bar her from ever working in the industry again. Yet Fox News hired here and has made here a prominent part of their coverage.

FOX IS NOT AMERICA’S FRIEND! Dump Fox and get the truth from One America News OAN IS what Fox used to pretend to be when it pretended to care about what we think of them. It is run by America and Trump hating Murdoch family.

Hannity, Dobbs, Ingraham, Bartiromo, Tucker, Doocey, Waters, Jeanine Pirro, are the highest rated shows on all of cable news.

They are pro-Trump almost always.

Why would we want to kill that when our presence in news media is so limited as it is?

I get where you’re going though. Many of us conservatives think that War is always the answer. It’s like an addiction.
I used to be that same way.

I have to concede that much of your post is true. I don’t agree with all of it but maybe my standards for being Pro-Trump are a bit lower than yours (and probably the average Freepers.)

I am also very, very, very disappointed in the Paul Ryan, member of the Board of Directors thingy. He is not our guy. Not by a long shot.

OTOH, Fox is still the best we have on regular TV. There are online sources but I don’t see any that look competitive to me in terms of their reach to the public who will decide the next election.

And this is very serious business. We are in a PR war with the Left (Dems and MSM) where the current battle for public opinion is focused on this stupid impeachment initiative. Next will come the MSM and Dems attacking the IG reports - conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory.

We need to win this war if Trump is going win a second term.

Fox is not much but they are not CNN or MSNBC. At least not yet.

Thanks for providing some balance to this thread.

I was in our area’s VA hospital for a week in August and all I did was watch Fox News. I’m much better although still convalescing at home, by the way. Prognosis excellent for complete recovery.

Anyway, this isn’t about me, but about Fox News. Mindful of the many complaints posted on these threads about how Fox has sold out, I watched as much as I could, and with a critical eye.

Honestly, I didn’t see much that was offensive to my conservative sensibilities. And the evening lineup of Hannity, Ingraham, and Carlson is pretty hard to beat.

So, Fox may not be what it once was, but it’s still the best news channel readily available nationwide.

I don’t believe we get OANN down here. Anyway, I canceled my cable long ago and just watch whatever I can get on the internet.

They havent lost 21% in 25-54 of their ratings, unless you count October of 2016.

Propaganda can be at its most dangerous when facts are mixed in with it.

You let you guard down, and start believing some of the leftists lies.

I see that here in posts every day—good people duped by little bits of propaganda.

Fox today is a wolf in sheep’s clothing—very dangerous imho.

Agreed. Maybe it's more than an apostrophe stuck in the wrong place lol.

I think conservatives who condemn Fox News for failing their conservative purity test are misguided at best and idiots at worst. Every night in prime time Fox has three hours of pretty solid conservative programming - Carlson, Hannity, and Ingraham. There are also Judge Jeanine, Mark Levin, Greg Gutfeld, and others of a solid conservative bent. I can't stand Shep Smith and Chris Wallace, so I don't watch them.

Yes, Carlson and the others sometimes have guests I don't like, and I have the mute button to deal with it. But these shows are an enormous antidote to the MSM alternative, and we would be much worse off if Fox wasn't there.
