FOX News may have 'jumped the shark' over mittens
Fair and balanced is Juan McCain
I for one have had enough of the wisdom of Bill Cristal, Chas. Krauthammer, Ted Baxter, Bret Beahr, Toyko Rove, Ann Colter, Chris Wallace, Sean Wannabe, Dana Parino, Brit Hume, Shep Smith, Judge Jeanene, Alam Comes, Bob Beckle, Juan Williams, Whoraldo, et. al. all acting the part of the Romney cheerleading squad ?
Does anyone else 'feel my pain'?
.
You mean Dana PeRINO?
Whorealdo and Anderson Cooper - the grim reaper and the gay reaper
.
When Willard fails to get the nomination, Fox will be up the creek. They have been cheerleading so shamelessly for him that it will make them look silly to jump on the bandwagon for someone else.
Conservatives thought Roger Ailes was smarter than this.
I haven't watched Faux in about a year. They continue their establishment/elite march with the likes of those mentioned in the first post....and Tokyo Rove and Dana peRINO irk me to no end!
Another poster mentioned that since FauxNews began their left turn, they've actually picked up viewers. I don't get it, as it's the conservative base that's got them to this point in popularity.
I think you nailed it, Elle Bee. There is a hunger amongst Conservatives that isn’t being filled by Faux News anymore.
And it’s not just cuz they have gone left.
It’s because they are predictable and boring. Roger and Co. are catering to an audience that are not as savvy as we are: the go along. get along GOP/moderate/linguine spined independents?
Too many ads that are gut wrenchingly annoying.
One of the Mittens voters from a nursing home in Fla. said that decided to vote for him because the nice commentators on Fox seemed to like him..so that was good enough for her.
My recent top five list of nails on a blackboard FNC pundits:
1. Rove; duh
2. Dana: dumb as a box o’
3. Kirsten P.: “
4. Bret B.: a beaming Democrat who pretends he’s not.
5. Hume: Brit, we thought we knew ye. WTH?
Please add your own. No Dems like Colmes or Beckel. We already know who they are.
We are weary of this primary season and Fox is letting us down and not providing comfort for our addled brains.
Thus, I rec. that you try weaning yourself from the vacant station by either watching only certain shows(Greta, Cavuto) or go cold turkey like I did.
I’m Faux Free and Proud to Be.
It’s very refreshing to have replaced my “white noise”
with Josh Groban and my old John Denver CDs.
Recommendations:
News and political, Fox Business, Free Republic.
Conservative talk show: Levin.

If I had married a man like Steve Doocy, maybe I’d still be married.
Drudge seems happy Rick rolled. He even notes Romney finished behind Paul in MN.
that seems the better course
FOX as a conservative news source isn't ever going to be and the Bill Kristols and Tokyo Roves have molded the network the way they have molded their candidate
It shouldn't be all that hard to start another cable news network ... there is clearly a market there ... lord knows my satellite has a thousand channels of nothing
It seems that many on FR want to talk about anything but the Winner,Rick Santorum.
yep, so have I. I do channel surf, and if when I land on Fox they’re discussing something like Obama versus Catholicism, then I’ll listen.
If they get into the republica primaries even a little bit, then I’m outta there. They all put on their Mitt Romney suits and contend to have the most pro-Romney soundbite.
Consider the audience out there ... Ted Baxter is the most highly rated cable show
FOX has opted for the low hanging fruit
.
I’ll resume my old tv habit when Free Republic branches out into its own station. May it come.
a wee bit of irony there actually...
but yes...u and browns are correct ...FOX is more conservative than the others due to Ailes editorial power
which is nice...
but since they are pretty much a Romney nomination arm then I too can decide that defeating Romney is important enough to me to ignore FOX and Drudge if I choose...if they are my enemy at this juncture why give them the hits?
I can slice bread and pat butter at the same time...I swear.
Yes I realize FOX is at least something of a GOP network but I also see them as a Romney arm and will ignore them till I feel like doing different.
The tearing down you mention started in Iowa with Romney's war machine which includes FOX and Drudge etc dumping on Newt like crazy and then amped up again in Florida...look for them to do it now to Santorum more
So I am turning them off even though I realize they are not MSNBC....though frankly MSNBC and CNN have both been more fair to Newt than FOX...no question
I am fine getting news here or from Levin or Mike Berry...Berry is basically me...just in Houston and on the radio
Roger A. met Kirsten in a bar in DC and hired her.

If they get to talking republican primaries even a little bit, then I’m outta there. They all put on their Mitt Romney suits and contend to have the most pro-Romney soundbite.
Tony Snow would have taken them both to the woodshed by now, and made them sorry for it too. :sigh: I still miss Tony Snow.
What do you get when you deflate a blonde airhead presstitute?
