Et Tu Bret Bair? Most of us had been under the impression that he had journalistic ethics. Baier was considered one of the few at Fox who could actually pull off straight news. However we now discover that he had a pre-planned strategy, with an actual script, aimed at physically ejecting Trump from the debate. This proves that the Fox back room had it in for Trump before the debate dust-up where Megyn Kelly tried – and painfully failed - to make a name for herself by using her role as moderator to portray Trump as a misogynist.
The Baier story comes on the heels of the Breitbart report that Ailes wants to "save the country" from Trump. Yes, the chief of the “fair and balanced” news organization declares he wants to pick off the most popular grass roots GOP candidate to emerge in years.
Frank Luntz, who pretends to be an agnostic pollster, goes on a "f--- you" tirade against Trump. Incidentally, Trump had turned down a business solicitation from Luntz.
Then there was the day last week when nearly every single Fox host in lockstep admonished Trump using airtime to engage in various “leave poor Kelly alone” rants. The list of those who were inspired ad/or encouraged to make their opinions known includes but is not limited to Sean Hannity, Bill Hemmer, Jedediah Bila, Brian Kilmeade, Bill O'Reilly, Shep Smith and Bret Baier. Nearly every known personality on Fox participated in the obvious choreography. It seems that Roger Ailes "rising star" (his words) isn't really a big girl (her words) after all.
Other blatant Trump assassins include George Will, Charles Krauthammer and Bush imp Dana Perino. Fox CEO announced that would like to see Michael Bloomberg as president.
Obviously, the question in the title is rhetorical, but I’m not pretending to be “fair and balanced.” Fox news is.
Now with the Iran deal rollover, Anything connected with Washington D.C. politics is rejected. People are so sick of the D.C. quagmire. There was hope after the Nov, 2014 election, but that is gone and the anti-Beltway sentiment is growing exponentially.
The rest not so much.
They had Geraldo on in the early morning.
They had credibility?! There’s a reason the TV comes first in TV News, no cable news network has ever had any credibility. The best Fox has ever achieved is sometimes they’ve managed to be slightly less irritating than the competition.
I would like to see Kimberly Guillefoile and Andrea Tantaros jump to OANN as soon as they can afford the pair.
Keep in mind, the purpose of cable news is to capture eyeballs for their advertisers. Everything else is secondary.
And nobody is doing it better at this time than Fox News.
Yes. I’m done with Fox. Those linked stories are still spreading falsehoods about Trump, saying he accused Bloody Megyn of being on her period. They’re not fair and balanced if they spread lies and don’t report the truth. No credibility at Fox.
Have been watching Newsmax TV, (Ch 223, yes it's 223, on DISH) and The Blaze TV (Ch 212 on DISH). That's about it. Maybe the One America News Network can get off the ground with some big donors. Trump? He would have his own channel then with Palin as the News Lady. . . and then. .
I saw. He embarrassed himself in front of Crowley and the crew. He looked like a fool. Nobody bought it.
Sounds like the heard needs thinning. Wheat / tares.
I found One America News is on Yip TV for free.
Wall Street journal is really getting on my nerves too. Ready to cut them off too.
WSJ is just more Murdoch
Fox News is nothing but social commentary. There is nearly no news on that channel. Breaking stories are rarely covered, but they will cover the coverage later.
Yep. Lost credibility.
Blatantly skewing a debate and having that stupid, establishment turd, Rove, on the air every damn day will do that to you.
Can’t get OAN on DirecTV so watch Newsmax instead of Fox. Newsmax has a good future, but is still in start-up phase now. We enjoy J.D. Hayworth.
So disappointed in Baier; thought better of him prior to the debate.
and dick morris....... you are watching the bottom of the barrel
