After Months of Constant Attacks on GOP Front-Runner Trump – Conservatives Lose Faith in FOX News
thegatewaypundit.com ^ | February 27

Posted on 02/27/2016 8:31:39 PM PST by Helicondelta

Conservatives are SICK AND TIRED of FOX News Channel’s constant attacks on Donald Trump–

FOX News Channel’s constant attacks on GOP front-runner Donald Trump over the past several months has taken a toll.

Trust in the network has dropped nearly 50% since January. Fox News Channel’s score dropped from 36 on January 18th to 14 on February 12th.

Brand Index reported:

Since the first GOP presidential debate last August, Fox News Channel seems to have lost its perception mojo with its core right-leaning audience.

By mid February, FNC’s perception by Republican adults 18 and over had reached its lowest point in more than three years, and has declined by approximately 50% since January of this year.

Check the story of how Ailes and Murdoch, FNC “personalities,” Marco Rubio, the Gang Of Eight, and Rush Limbaugh conspired to jam “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” down our throats in 2103.

It is time to pull the walls down folks. We the people, have been played.

The Wall Street Journal, like Murdoch, is decidedly open borders. In 1984, the WSJ editorial board wrote, “If Washington still wants to ‘do something’ about immigration, we propose a five-word constitutional amendment: There shall be open borders.”

Murdock is painfully wrong about the open borders...he/WE would not have a country without borders and laws governing our borders.....what is he thinking!

It is no wonder he doesn't want Trump to win....ten to one he is a Hillary man...after all.

Fox tends to get stuck on certain stories, and stays stuck, for hours at a time. Last week, it was the death of Judge Scalia. Hour after hour. How sorrowful can you be? I had to turn to Turner Movies from the 1940’s.

I started doubting their claim to objectivity when they hired Geraldo and Shep started wearing eye liner.

That says it all right there. What’s wrong with the whole machine.

The United States, once a free land, has been stolen by people like this.

Lou Dobbs has been going against the grain for some time. Hope he never changes.

The ‘new world order’... Bunch of idiots. They obviously despise the US Constitution and are going to do whatever it takes to make US the same as every other third world turd nation. The Republicans are hip deep in this ugly mess.

Rush has a VERY big problem. Something to do with attention span. He has a three-hour program, I listen to it daily at work. There are segments in those three hours where he says Cruz said something great, or lousy, or Rubio said something great, or lousy, or Trump said something great, or lousy. Listening to ALL of it, I think he has been scrupulously fair with all of the candidates. He doesn’t favor the “cheap labor express,” he often rails against it. I have seen Free Republic posters (many of them trolls, undoubtedly), shrieking “RUSH FAVORS RUBIO!!!” “RUSH IS IN THE BAG FOR CRUZ!!!” “RUSH ENDORSES TRUMP!!!” ... Probably after listening to 10 minutes of a three-hour program. As ever, Rush dissects the news and views of the day. His big problem now is more and more people think listening to eight or nine minutes of a commentary or a rant is the entire program. Talk radio is not meant for people with attention deficit disorder.

I like Stuart Varney on Fox Business News in the morning.

I wonder if Levin and Limbaugh’s ratings have also taken a hit?

Good point!

Unlike you, I only catch bits and pieces of Rush radio, but I have noticed that it is rare nowadays that a “Rush said” headline lines up with what he actually did say!
I prefer to read the whole transcript, whenever some off the wall accusation is made.
Rush is a great political pundit and talented talk show host/entertainer.
I’ve always considered him a great discussion leader.
I do find it useful to triple check my own six, whenever I disagree with any clearly stated conclusions on specific topics he deigns to articulate.
I loved listening to Paul Harvey too, for different reasons.

Such a good post! The attention span for Americans becoming more and more used to fast-forwarding through everything is becoming virtually nil. Things like three-hour radio shows they just cannot do. They’ll tune into 15 minutes and think they’ve heard it all, without realizing they’ve actually heard very little of it.

Rush likes to drop points to be discussed later, keep you in suspense through the commercials, bring up a topic to be discussed after the top of the hour. His show is NOT meant for the set that fast-forwards through everything.

I think this will become a BIG problem for talk radio in the future.
