They probably realized that she might walk in lieu of their recent actions.

I was wondering what Tucker, Sean, Mark, Laura and other self described Conservatives would leave come contract time.......I guess Laura answered that where she’s concerned. I would get out of that mess called FoxNews as soon as I could.......but what do I know

She should use the money for grammar lessons. That is what I would do if I was her.

Yet, even on FR, conservatives act like her, Hannity and Carlson are there best friends. They have to spend three hours a night with them or they will not know what to think. FOX’s is just a sounding board for some conservatives who want someone to validate their opinions or sadly some conservatives simply lack the critical thinking skills to formulate and trust their own opinions.

If the last four years should taught us anything, pundits are actors on a political stage. They create a persona that fools us into believing they are something they are not. Bill Crystal, Brit Hume and Wallace are good examples. Hannity has gone way beyond his best if used by date. He was at his best prior to Trump, he started fading during Obama’s second term. Ingraham does well analyzing judicial bull$hit, but is vacuous otherwise and Carlson is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is an expert at playing on conservative angst, but does anyone really know what he thinks. He has been in the swamp his entire life. He plays up conspiracy theories especially big government conspiracies, knowing how well this does with conservatives. FOX firmly believes conservatives will return to the FOX fold after 20 Jan 2021, because as some here on FR have said, they are the only opposition to MSM propaganda. Bull$hit, they are propaganda. We need even more conservatives to walk away and not return on 20 Jan 2021.

We have been played. Never, ever trust any TV pundits again. Watch, (except for FOX News) but verify.

That’s like buying a return ticket on the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.

I can’t stomach Laura any more, since right after the election when she seemed to cheerily go along with the mainstream narrative that Biden won. The only one on Fox News that I still watch is Hannity. He seems so frustrated and exasperated with the fraud election. I believe his contract is up in early 2021, so it’ll be interesting to see if he re-ups with Fox News for the money or makes a bold move and heads elsewhere (Newsmax) for much less. I suspect he’ll take the money if he can swing a deal to move his show to Florida or elsewhere outside of NYC.

While neither of those conservative channels is beating Fox in the ratings...

Greg Kelly beat out Martha McCallum the other night.

Which warms my heart. The sight of that moronic dem-wench turns my stomach.

It’s only a matter of a short time before they do their numbers are growing fast as word gets out about them.

I did too.

They decided they weren’t going to fight with us. They weren’t going to challenge the results or even question the results.

Why not get that SOB Karl Rove up there and have him explain how Biden got 80 million votes without coat tails.

How he lost 18/19 Bell Weather Counties

How AGs on the down ticket got more votes than Trump.

I mean, she’s done as far as I’m concerned.

Why haven’t started the fight yet.

Not to mention that POS Chris Wallace and what he did to us on Election night and debates.

I have not watched Laura’s show since the election. However, I did watch the YouTube clip of her monologue where she mentioned AOC and it has been distorted here on FR for whatever it’s worth.

Her point, rather inarticulate, appeared to be that populists and the AOC wing could agree that the oligarch class needs to be contained. That was certainly the context to me.

The kneejerk reaction here out of justified anger towards Fox was immediate and it has been parroted non-stop. I don’t need a manufactured issue to turn off Fox - they did that for me with their behavior throughout the election, but the truth matters.

Prior to the election, Laura excoriated “The Squad” and I find it hard to believe she suddenly changed her stance. However, we have to find agreement where we can and if AOC and her ilk do not believe Bloomberg, Gates, Dorsey, and Zuckerberg should not run the country I can agree with them on that point no matter how much I oppose the rest of their agenda.

That is my .02 and the same thing applies to Tucker. I don’t always agree with him nor should you, but the usual cast here on FR and the clickbait punditry and bloggers that increasingly fill the front page here did the same thing over the Sidney Powell thing. Tucker is usually snarky, but he is rather fearless in going after many stories nobody else will touch. Important stories.

He called out Sidney who was doing multiple hits a day lobbing nuclear bombs. Tucker was petulant about it and he responded from his self-importance - it was not his finest moment, but if Sidney produced the Kraken he would be one of the few who would cover it. Sidney is a big girl and she can handle it - she was pretty frazzled when it happened and frankly she needed to get some sleep and I support what she is doing.

The Tucker- Powell spat again became intertwined in the “dump Fox” movement that was eagerly seeking further justification. I cut the cord long ago and have largely ignored the Fox News website since the election, but how many stories have we only heard from Tucker over the past 4 years? That is why he became #1 in the ratings.

Tucker is the Rand Paul of “conservative punditry” in that he is fearless, flawed, and while we don’t always agree with him he hits a home run every so often on a pitch nobody else saw. Given a choice I wish there were ten more of him on television. He is far more accurate and consequential than Gateway Pundit that gets linked here on FR about 100 times a day with clickbait headlines based on the work of others (like Tucker).

Just my .02. You don’t have to “hate” Ingraham, Tucker, or even Interruptus Maximus (Hannity) to stick it to Fox. I stuck it to Fox when I cut the cord and stopped clicking their website multiple times a day.

For the viewers, wouldn’t that be akin to voting for a RINO and hoping for the best, knowing full well a back stabbing was in their future? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Nnot really. Laura would have to compete with other truth tellers. Real journalists on NewsMax.

There is little or no journalism now.

Its a vacated field for which there is a strong market. There is a high demand for REAL investigative journalism.Millions of dollars to be made.

laura should be smart enough to pull out of Fox and head out to staff the coming TRUMP national media network, headed by Donald Jr,m with its HQ in Florida.

Imagine them in the White House Press Corps ,aking the other propaganda generating children look like the dumbest egg heads in the country?

Its coming brother.

Good news.

Now I can quit worrying that she might move over to Newsmax and One America News.

Fox news is dead to me and has been since election day.
