What’s up with Fox? Are they trying to bend over backwards, to prove that they are liberal? Are they wanting to fit in with the cool kids at MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, NY Times, et. al.???

But then, I saw a thread here this morning, showing Fox ratings have cratered recently. If they are trying to be more liberal, to fit in with other news channels, they are doing so and losing huge amounts of their audience. Is it still worth it to change into just another news network, if they lose their core audience?????

Yes. Roger Ailes is dead and gone, and Murdoch's liberal children have taken over. They've decided to abandon the conservative market which has made them huge and chase a sliver of the same idiot pie that CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS and ABC all currently own.

I am GLAD that Fox is tanking.

Yes. Chris Wallace was the beginning of the end IMHO. Donna Brazile sort of sealed the deal. I never minded seeing two sides. I enjoyed Hannity and Colmes (whatever happened to him anyway). Wallace’s snarky pontificating and “gotcha” mentality (to seemingly prove how much smarter he is than everybody) really accelerated their decline from their once unique ability to be fair. They’ve always had opinion hosts that were upfront about their leanings. Now they’re all about regurgitating leftist talking points as if they’re known fact.

I think at some point they decided it was more important to be accepted by their colleagues than by their audience.

FOX (meaning its owners) can do whatever it wants. That’s what they are doing. It’s their business. Don’t like it, don’t watch. That’s been the common reaction by conservatives so far.
