Amen,Short and to the point.

[ConservativeMan55]

Sorta!

I’m now dividing my time between The Blaze and Fox.

I only go to Fox now and then.

[Red in Blue PA]

I am not a fan of Megyn Kelly. That is disappointing.

[Tupelo]

Not bad. I too will not miss Les Nessman.
Greta at seven is for me a good move, since I think she is the best of the bunch. Agree or disagree, she always gives the guest enough time to explain their position or long enough to hang themselves. Beats the hell out of O’Baxter and Hannity. I do not know about Kelly other than the fact that she is a real pleasure to look upon.

[RedStateGuyTrappedinCT]

The Blaze is great, I get it on my phone via I heart Radio.
I love their analysis and how they connect various stories.
Fox seems to be slowly morphing into news/entertainment like all the others, just not as blatant.
I can no longer tolerate O'Reilly and can only take small doses of Hannity.

[whinecountry]

Agree 100%, Jon Scott was a better host with a better show.

[onyx]

Shepard gets to retain his early news show.

The one that airs at 2:00PM Central.

[arkfreepdom]

Greta is the most professional interviewer on TV

[wolfman23601]

I actually like Greta’s show. Now I’ll get to see it more often.

[NormsRevenge]

O’really at snooze time is fine by me

[NormsRevenge]

SOCIAL MEDIA WILL BE THE END OF US ALL.

Uhhh..

Should be fun when Obama gets imTWeeted for being such a dweeb

This nation has survived incompetents before, fingers crossed, we will again..

[aquila48]

She does good interviews, and she’s a good person but she is naive to the max.

[ScottinVA]

She is one of the BEST interviewers on Fox!

The two best interviewers and information sources in my book are Greta for interviews, and Katherine Herridge for national security-related news. Katherine is the most professional I've ever seen.

[aquila48]

“Kelly is much easier to watch/listen to than Hannity is.”

I find her delivery irritating, like she’s putting on an act. Also I don’t sense any strong conservative core in her.

And yes Hannity can be monotonous, but I have no doubt as to what he believes.

So between the two I would pick.... either Judge Napolitano or Judge Jeannie Pirro.

[ConservativeMan55]

They’re both awesome!

Jennifer Griffin is pretty damn good too!

[nathanbedford]

I watch Fox news with avid interest, but then I watch MSNBC with interest because I survey the shows not to be informed and certainly not be persuaded but to uncover how they are attempting to propagandize. I want Fox to succeed and I want MSNBC to fail.

So even though O'Reilly is a self-aggrandizing bore who devotes about 60% of the show to fluff to maintain ratings, I want to know how he appeals to moderates and undecideds whom he seduces into watching a show.

Judging the Fox hosts on this basis, I do not care whether O'Reilly is overbearing or Hannity becomes tedious or if Greta gets too deeply into the weeds (for my taste I wish all the Fox hosts would get more deeply into the weeds-but that is not my test or my goal) except in so far as those deficiencies cause them to lose battles in the propaganda war.

On the other side, O'Reilly has a knack for articulating an issue and he usually comes out on the right side-but of course not always. Hannity almost always comes out on the correct side, but he grinds away at it. Moreover, Hannity permits guests to talk over one another which is just as irritating as watching O'Reilly himself interrupt and talk over his guests.

Greta deserves credit as the most improved of the Fox hosts and one who exudes credibility. On the downside, she talks to much and she betrays a level of naïveté and a tendency toward goody two shoes which annoys me but which might be very effective with the female audience.

I'm not inclined to be personally happy about Megan Kelly appearing at 9 PM because I expect her to present a news show and I want to watch opinion at that hour. In any event she will be better at it than Shepard Smith and more conservative, although not necessarily reliably so.

The proof is in the ratings and Roger Ailes has demonstrated a knack for getting ratings and I therefore conclude that his hosts, compared to those on MSNBC, are persuasive.

[Salvey]

Greta’s interviews are probably the best. I also like the fact that she often features Rush.

However, I do find her diction annoying:

senner = senator
prom = problem
congs = congress
terst = terrorist
etc.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Megyn Kelly is a FEMINIST cloaked in bleached hair and a fake smile. Every year her voice gets lower and lower. Soon she’ll be growing a penis, if she doesn’t have one already.

How dare she disrupt the schedules of the other prime time stars at Fox News because she wants more mommy time with her baby. Hannity gets displaced because Queen Bee Kelly had a baby? How dare Fox News rearrange time slots all because one of them had a baby?

Write, e-mail, and twitter to Fox expressing your opinion.
