I think this was the most disappointing coverage by Fox I have ever seen. It was irritating that they were projecting states way too early. And yes, several posts mentioned Megyn Kelly being giddy....I guess I have had blinders on about her. I knew Shep and BOR were lost causes. I used to watch Glenn Beck when he was on Fox, but he started to get really over the top scary.
I am okay with some of the morning shows....well it is ambient noise anyway.
I won’t miss watching...guess I will get my news from FR, Breibart, etc

I’m through with Fox and every other media outlet. Not going to pay attention to anything any more. This is not the country I was born into and it will never be the same in my remaining lifetime. Screw it. Going to try to enjoy my remaining few years. Que sera sera.

“Where are you going to go to MSNBC?”

Why do people depend on TV for their news in the first place? I never got that.

There are much better sources for more thorough and reliable news and analysis than the idiot box.

Megyn Kelly is in her 40’s. I don’t know how old Martha McCallum is. Most of the barely dressed bimbo bottle blondes on Fox are approaching 40 or past it.

I don’t see why this is any different from other Fox (or any network) coverage.

Folks, we didn’t lose because of Fox. They didn’t have to change one state they called.

We can’t get upset because we can’t raise enough numbers of voters to vote in the person we support.

What is Fox supposed to do, wait all night and declare states the next morning?

Fox catered to us considerably in the run up to this election. It was the only place we could listen to without hearing the Left non-stop.

Who are you going to listen to now? I like Glenn Beck, but seriously he’s good for some things, but he’s not a full service news network.

We can’t simply check out. Get a grip folks.

The RNC is where our focus should be. They rig the process and only give us people they know aren’t Conservative.

Honestly, I think it’s time to leave the party. They left us a long time ago. Let’s see how the RNC does with ten followers on twitter, and no registered voters.

Yep, we saw that, too. I was thinking “WTH?” Admittedly, I had a bit of hope with what Rove was saying about Ohio but it turned out to be crap. What slayed me was all the analysis of what was wrong about Romney afterwards. All the faults people saw in the beginning were now excuses why he didn’t win.

Fox and Co. lost a load of credibility tonight.

The next 2 years will be a long democrat campaign for winning the House. All bad things that happen from now until 2014 will be the Republican led House's fault. Their goal will be to win control of the House in 2014.

Obama had the House and Senate for the first 2 years of his administration and NOTHING got done. Things got worse.

The economy took the downturn in 2006 when Pelosi and Reid gained control of both Houses.

The GOP failed to get this message out. They only started to use this message after Ryan was picked as the VP. Before that, they went years without responding to these false attacks.

And, if the economy really is not Bush's fault, why did Bush say nothing or try to correct the so-called false statements, is what many independenents and moderates asked.

Major communication problem on our side.

Paul Ryan was the answer, but it came too late.

I agree with that. The only time I watch TV for news is during special live events such as the approach of a hurricane or election night.

The reason why I mentioned MSNBC or any other cable TV network was because the title of the thread is: Anyone Else Through With Fox?

Based on the title and the text I assume the poster was referring to TV news.

I think several of the Fox news readers are hoping jobs with one of MSM networks, and that infuences their take on the news.

And it does seem less and less worth watching.

I don’t think they seemed happy or gleeful at all at the election results. I was surprised how sullen Megyn Kelly looked at times as the results were coming in, because I don’t really think of her as a conservative (she’s probably libertarian enough).

I think the people they had on tonight are exceptionally talented broadcasters and did a terrific job. Megyn Kelly is one of the best TV news personalities I’ve ever seen and is destined for a long and stellar career. I much prefer to watch the results come in on this program than refreshing numbers on a web page.

In terms of calling races, you don’t seem to understand how the math and reading the data works. 100% of the vote doesn’t need to be in for a race to be called. Rove’s debate with Barone showed how these things are judgment calls, but in the end FOX made the right judgment on every race.

Not just Fox News, ALL of these people. They’re so screwed! Laura Ingrahm, Rush, Levine, Morris, Oreilly, Fox News, no more News letters, no more donations, no more supporting anyone. I’m going to go off the grid. Probably no more Freep too. I am tired!

I quit watching FOX and all TV over 4 years ago.

I was a dedicated FOX watcher until 2001 when the hired Whoraldo. When I heard that news I turned off the TV and have not turned it on in the eleven years since. Don't miss it a bit.

I never watch any of them. I did watch through this obvious glorification of Obama a couple of nights. Have since left and will not go back. They are nothing but liars and they knew what was going to happen. None of them seemed the least bit upset. That alone should tell you something. Too bad none of them have a smidgen of integrity or self respect.

Just want you to know, we're all behind you and George and Barbara Bush endorse Romney and Megyn Kelly is a democrat.

I said many times on here in the last few weeks that Romney never even tried to argue with Obama when Obama said to his face multiple times in the debates that Romney is trying to "return to the same Bush policies" that caused the economic crisis. He either needed to say the Democrats were equally or more responsible, or offer some explanation as to why the mortgage crisis occurred and why his policies would not lead to the same thing.

Exactly! You are right! But he did not want to offend the moderates by sounding so partisan with the truth so he just let the American people believe that Bush and the republicans and their policies are the reasons why we got in this mess in the first place. Totally false, yet it's the consensus shared by the majority of Americans including republicans and many in their leadership.

It's a shame.
