Duh.

It’s because not only has Fox News become a fully-owned arm of the increasingly mamby-pamby GOP establishment.

They’re not even about news anymore.

Fox News has become a tabloid. A platform for personalities.

Not news.

Yeah I don’t see how anyone watches “news entertainment” Paying people to tell me what they think just makes no sense to me. Add to that, that about 75% have no expertise whatsoever and, well ... I just read all I can online.

“Here’s GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum on “Face the Nation,” assessing shooter George Zimmerman’s mental health. “Someone has a very sick mind who would pursue someone like this, Santorum said. “This is clearly a heinous act. You know, there are a lot of people who have a lot of distorted views of reality...And my heart goes out to the parents, too. I can’t imagine what they’re suffering, losing their son in such a horrific way. All I would say is that, whatever the motive is, it was a malicious one.” “

Sorry, I could never vote for this clown. That performance, pandering so spinelessly to the left wing media, finished Santorum for ever for me.

What has “Mountain Mary” been smoking? Santorum is dead, but she refuses to bury him.

While Fox News has moved toward more moderate views they are losing viewers because of it. However, what alternative is there? Given the choice between, the White House Ministry of Truth at MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CNN and CBS and Fox I will continue watching Fox. However, listening to the useful idiots like Juan Williams, Allen Combs and even Bill O’Reilly raises my blood pressure.

Fox went down hill, IMHO, when they stopped the wall to wall Anna Nicole Smith coverage.

FOX is no longer a conservative news medium ... like Krauthammer, Fox is always posed in a crowd of liberals so it gives the appearence of being conservative

Has FOX News 'Jumped The Shark' Over Mitt???

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 Kristal, Chas. Krauthammer, Ted Baxter, Bret Beahr, Toyko Rove, Ann Colter, Chris Wallace, Sean Wannabe, Dana Parino, Brit Hume, Shep Smith, Judge Jeanene, Alan Comes, Bob Beckle, Juan Williams, Whoraldo, P.T. Trump, et. al. all acting the part of the Romney cheerleading squad

Does anyone else 'feel my pain'?

.

Name ONE true conservative who is regularly on FOX

There is clearly a hunger and a market for honest news and honest conservative news - and it is clearly not FOX

with apologies to Ted Knight ….Find O'Reilly:

Lean left, loose viewers.

There are enough moderately lefty and heavy lefty news channels. We want hard core conservatism, and even the lefties want hard core conservatism so they can tune in and get agitated.

In foxes more conservative days, I had a lefty friend who was an old black lady. She loved to sit in front of Fox News and yell at the TV. It made her day.

Fox is screwing themselves by not going Full on Eligibility and dropping the “moderates” and lefties.

Fox uses John Stossel and Sarah Palin as shills to draw us in so they can lead us to the George W. Bush-Mitt Romney type of Republican.

After the good interviews-commentators we see Karl Rove and company.

Fox News does stories that appeal to conservative viewers you won’t see on other networks, but then leads us to the GOP-E Kool Aid vat.

I used to watch FNC, but nowadays I find that more intellectual stimulation can be gained from Chumley on Pawn Stars than from trying to endure all the etchamitt drivel on FNC.

Didn’t read the whole thing, the single paragraph is just tooooo long. That said, the writer seems to be blaming it on the Romney bias, but I think it’s more than that. The sliding over to the left in general is the reason I watch it much less often than I once did. If they’d like to regain their audience, I suggest a return to “fair and balanced” IN PRACTICE, not just as a slogan.

My Fox viewing was, pretty much, limited to Hannity and Greta but when Hannity began featuring Willard, almost daily, I stopped watching; besides I got pretty tired of all of that fair and balanced bullsh*t!
