Folks, if you're reading this, you know what needs to happen.
It doesn't take a big contribution. Pick your comfort level and
please join others to help put the FReepathon to rest. Thank you.

The above note was first presented to you on 02/25 at around 11:00.
The goal shortfall at that time is depicted to you on the left.
The graphic on the right reveals our status as of 02/26 22:30.
We can finish this by Sunday night. Let's do it.

Let's give Jim, his crew, and us a full month to rest up.

Jim, his crew, and every other FReeper thanks you.

Fox could clear that up by cleaning some house and getting rid of Megyn Kelly and Shep and replacing them with less irritating and more “fair and balanced” sounding talent.

Fox sees itself as gatekeeper for a moderate candidate in the GOP

Every election

And they usually win

But not this time

Fox News would do MUCH better if the got rid of:
Geralo Rivera
Megyn “Kelly”
Karl Rove
Shep is pretty benign though

Their prime time lineup (O’Reilly, Kelly, Hannity) stinks on hot ice. Unwatchable. Shep is even worse.

But I do like Special Report, Red Eye, Cavuto, Varney, Dobbs, Carlson, and even Greta.

The reaction to Fox news, if this account is to be credited, is hardly remarkable because it simply parallels the wrangling we have experienced here on Free Republic. Perhaps worse this year, the wrangling nevertheless occurs every primary season.

The problem is not so much with Fox news but in the eye of the beholder. Trump supporters scream that Megan Kelly is off the reservation because she commits an act of journalism on Donald Trump by quoting his own words back at him. Fox news is first a profit making undertaking and Trump brought ratings. So those of us, and I am one of them, who were distressed by the nearly daily exposure of Trump was the equivalent of multimillions of dollars granted by Fox to Trump should understand that Fox will do what Fox can do for the bottom line. We are all capitalists after all.

But overall the problem is we don't want a fair and balanced news organization, we want a committed conservative propaganda machine. Many of those who complain about Fox will only be happy when possessed of the power simply to zot a renegade host. In about forty-eight hours Fox would have not a single anchor left. One man's renegade is another man's champion. There is plenty of room under the arc of "conservatism" for disagreement in primary season.

I oppose censorship in principle because it can lead to serious consequences for those who most favorite it. If we can control the airwaves, or at least Fox' portion of it, we would soon become complacent in our conservatism and we would be vulnerable in our ignorance to the left. The only way to stay sharp is to contest. Those who become enraged because Fox occasionally fails to boost their own flavor of conservatism are afraid that their opinions will not sell in the real political world of sharp elbows and thick heads.

The next time those who criticize Fox decide to take off after Megan Kelly or some other anchor they ought to reread their own posts on this forum.

I figured Fox News was just part of the Hegelian Dialectic a decade ago. I quit watching and picked up history books-—original sources—like Booker T. Washington’s autobiography instead of watching someone’s controlled bias of “real” events.. When BO used “French Youths” instead of Muslim youth, I knew that Fox News had an evil agenda, and it was for revisionism and misinformation. (I only have time for the truth—everything else bores me).

I am entertained by gaining true knowledge-—I don’t need to waste time with nonsense and things which drag me into the sewer or confusion.

I knew then, that what Ray Bradbury stated was true. All MSM was white noise (hiding truth)-—it was for addiction and distraction; it was to control all perceptions and “attitudes” and create controlled “thinking” (someone’s else version of truth). Hollywood has always been about only controlling perceptions and attitudes (which is controlled by a very few super-elite satanists/sodomites. Jack Paar called them “Fairies”).

Hollywood (”News”) can control the perceptions of the masses—ask that evil, vile Bill Cosby, who is way worse than Billy Clinton who still gets thousands and isn’t fighting any “court” attacks. Double standard——well, just say, that it is MSM-—controlling your attitudes and desires and opinions—for you probably don’t know either man but the “impressions” given you by MSM and very well-paid actors who literally sell their soul.

They have gone downhill big time in my eyes. The only thing I truly like right now is The Five.

I long for a media outlet with fair and objective investigative journalists who report the facts and let the viewers decide. There are no real investigative journalists anymore. Journalists are reigned in by the few owners of big media who are seeking to promote their own agenda. Media is big business seeking money from sponsors and they will do whatever it takes for the almighty buck. Sad state of affairs. American media is no better today than Communist China media in my opinion.

CNN is at times leaning favorably for Trump, FOX will snarl, bite, scratch, whimper and whine trying to say anything about Trump.

Its going to be a VERY interesting first 48 hours for Trump, the media, and the nation after he is sworn in.

The libel laws for instance.....

Its time to discipline the media, they are a petulant stuck up unruly brat. No more. No more.

Has Fox News given any coverage to JEB! AND THE BUSH CRIME FAMILY. Any interviews with Roger Stone and/or Saint John Hunt?

Even though Jeb! is out of the race, the crime family, and the Bush wing of the GOP are still in business.

Is it any wonder?

It’s a 24/7 infomercial for Trump or Rubio...

Folks supporting each of those candidates get pissed when the other is getting propped up, and those of us supporting Cruz get the shaft when it comes to the getting ANY favorable coverage.

It seems their strategy is to just piss off their entire customer base.
I wonder if they realize how vulnerable they are.
It won’t take much for a true conservative network to rise up and then they’ll be just the next CNN.

But what should we expect from folks with New York values...

I used to be a regular Fox News viewer.

Now, I can’t bring myself to watch 1 second of that awful channel.
