The “Trump Effect” – Fox News Joins Macy’s On The Losing End of Anti-Trump Efforts…

"Fox News can’t say they were not warned this would be an outcome of their insufferable decision to continue promoting a media narrative in opposition to Donald Trump. The same thing happened to Macys Department Store after they dropped Trump."

I liked the fold over back pages that completely changed an illustration by tri-folding the thing back on itself

Mad was probably the biggest influence on me to use and enjoy my mind and imagination ... and we kids were the only ones that "got it"

That's why they HAD to invent Viet Nam ...

WE

WERE

PHENOMINAL

Here is the problem with FOX News Channel. It’s upper management, Rupert Murdoch & Roger Ailes have jumped the shark, and have gone over to the dark side. I do not know if their viewer decline can be fixed, but.....they better wake up before they lose the entire game. Shows like “The Five”, Neil Cavuto, Shepard Smith, Gretchen Carlson, Brit Hume, George Will, Charles Krauthammer, must go, be cancelled, or fired.....immediately. I would leave the “Prime Time” line-up alone with Greta, O’Reilly, Kelly & Hannity.

I would leave Megy Kelly in her spot....because she has seen the light....realizing that her hate of DJT is not good for her professional life. Her march down to Trump Towers to kneel before Donald Trump, took tremendous courage. She also realizes, she can be tough, but must be balanced....across the board.

Actually, all three cable news networks, FNC, CNN & MSNBC are boring, uninformative with little, “honest & fair” news reporting. No one....with half a brain follows these news stations, with the exception of Election Night broadcasting. They get their news goodies from the electronic world of information, which is light years, more balanced then the TV networks.

It is a free TV news channel that is on the internet. Go to 'yiptv' and you will find OANN. It is excellent.

Even Brett Baer has become unwatchable. Trump keeps winning g state after state. He keeps binging out tens of thousands of people. His voters are sticking with him. And like DJT says, he’s now winning with 50 and 60 percent of the vote. They acted like Ted’s Wisconsin win was such a great feat while diminishing Trump’s landslides. When trump kicked butt in Florida I knew then it was over. Yet they continue to downplay him. They even give credence to the vicious paid rioters.

The odds of Fox recovering or growing their audience after the primary season is over is exceedingly slim

But if Hillary was elected President .... well you know the story. I hope Megyn Kelly goes to CNN.

The corruption in the media, government, banks, and wall street has left a bad taste in working Americans mouths, not a very bad taste, but a bad taste, none the less.

That the media, which includes Beckermann, Lumbaughington, and Levinistan, do nothing to expose the corruption and call this out is deplorable, not very deplorable, just deplorable.

I don’t think Megyn’s little trip to Mr. Trump’s office is going to help. I think they saw this drop in viewership and decided she’d better kiss and make up. She said Ailes knew nothing of her decision to meet with Trump, and I say b.s. It was so the network could save face and Megyn could look like the bigger person.

She also knows, being the self-absorbed person she is, that for the next 4 - 8 years, she’d never be interview the President of the United States!

And there is some jackass at American Thinker that actually thinks Faux News numbers are down because they SUPPORT trump. This is the type of embarrassingly lazy writing that the GOPe can muster and no more.

Anything to demean Trump- such as always having idiot ex-governor, Rick Perry, of Texas on its various shows.

Perry's speech expressing his opinion of Trump (keeps repeating):

PERRY CALLS TRUMP A ‘CANCER’ ON CONSERVATISM:

"In times of trouble, there are two types of leaders: repairers of the breach and sowers of discord. The sower of discord foments agitation, thrives on division, scapegoats certain elements of society, and offers empty platitudes and promises.

He is without substance when one scratches below the surface.

He offers a barking carnival act that can be best described as Trumpism: a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued.

LET NO ONE BE MISTAKEN – DONALD TRUMP’S CANDIDACY IS A CANCER ON CONSERVATISM, AND IT MUST BE CLEARLY DIAGNOSED, EXCISED AND DISCARDED".

http://www.businessinsider.com/rick-perry-donald-trump-speech-2015-7

And why, Governor Perry, did you do nothing to prevent Texas being retaken by Mexicans flooding over the border daily?

And you, Abbott, (current governor) why haven't you kept your promise to stop the flood of illegal criminals and the thousands of crimes of murder, rape and robbery they commit against us? Afraid to go against Obama's orders to let them in and put them on welfare?

Like many, I went from watching Foxnews all the time maybe 5 or so years ago to not at all since Kelly’s komikazi attack. They had been on a steady decline for years though. Always moving left and becoming more and more frivolous in their reporting. It’s the management partly wanting to change and partly being pressured to change I believe. Being part Saudi owned isn’t helping matters. I don’t know if you remember this but there was a time when Obama was constantly railing against Foxnews and threatening regulatory action aimed at Foxnews. Government would place monitors to ensure “reliable” reporting. A lot of stuff was being bandied about. Also they went after Murdock in Great Britain with the Skynews scandal. I just couldn’t imagine a hard hitting investigative cable news channel. That would be a truly revolutionary idea akin to what’s happening under the Trump movement where the layers and false veneers are being pealed back.

Some years ago when the boys were in school and watching TV instead of doing homework....

Mrs Spokeshave got the scissors and went and cut the darn power cable to the TV.
