Fox News's betrayal — there's a question hanging in the air
American Thinker ^ | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 11/11/2020 6:20:05 AM PST by RoosterRedux

The network has stabbed its loyal viewers in the back, and the viewers are not taking it lying down. They are switching over to Newsmax and OAN or just leaving their televisions off. Thankfully, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of other sources for actual news.

*snip*

If the millions of Americans who cast their votes for Biden had known about his decades of corruption re: China, Ukraine, and numerous other nations, all information suppressed by Google, Facebook, and Twitter, would they have reconsidered their votes? Most likely. If they hate President Trump so much they would knowingly vote for a lifelong self-serving, get-rich-quick corrupt pol, then they may reap what they have sown if Biden is inaugurated. He will undo all the tremendous accomplishments of the Trump administration.

And given their tone of the last week, Fox News will be on board, not at all different from CNN and the rest of the fake news media. Unless someone develops a new network based on the preservation of America as founded, cable news will be dead to all but the hard left. Those of us who have for years made it our go-to news channel will have left, feeling tricked, cheated.

So what is the answer to that question hanging in the air? Have Fox News hosts been pretending to be conservative and pro-American all these years and mocking us when they are out and about? Or have they been coerced into defending an obviously rigged election by the newer powers that be at Fox? Neil Cavuto on Tuesday cut away from Kayleigh McEnany's press conference because she was detailing the then known facts of voter fraud that we were not going to be allowed to hear.

I have been watching newsmax tv, but last night I tuned into Tucker and was sorely disappointed. His show was mostly about the attempts to defund the police. Most of it was obvious information and pretty mundane.
It had that feeling of a show that was changed and thrown together.

Fox News’ Ratings Reach Dumpster Fire Territory!
Red State.com ^ | November 10, 2020 | Bonchie
Posted on 11/10/2020, 5:07:10 PM by Kaslin

As I’ve written the last few days, Fox News’ has fully well and decided to burn their audience to the ground (see Fox News Decides to Fully Set Themselves On Fire as Ratings Collapse)!:

What the motivation behind that is may not be completely clear, but things were taken far enough that even Tucker Carlson threw shade at the formerly top rated cable station’s management last night (see Civil War: Tucker Carlson Hits His Own Network In Epic Post-Election Monologue).

My confusion is how do the commentators just change their tone so quickly and seemingly so easily? Is the paycheck the only reason they go to work?

My bet is on the “the newer powers that be at Fox”.

And we need to understand that and guard against what happened. And perhaps even use the same techniques to win back other news networks.

If not, the same things will happen at OAN, Newsmax, and Parler.

We’ve seen it at Foxnews, we’ve seen it at Drudge. We need a way of protecting conservative voice outlets.

Creating a new one everytime an old one sells to the left is awkward, and we don’t know how many people we lose in the switch.

Reminds me of the newspapers here in Houston, TX. In the 70's, the Houston Post had a great staff or conservative editorial writers. After a change in ownership, the Post became a liberal paper, and the Houston Chronicle became the conservative paper. Eventually, the Hearst corporation bought the Chronicle and after that, they bought and discontinued the Post. Unfortunately, the Chronicle adopted the liberal tone of the Post and is now completely unreadable. I occasionally buy a Sunday edition of the Chronicle to use for charcoal starter for my Weber grill.

People need to accept that Fox as they knew it is gone.

Fox News's betrayal — there's a question hanging in the air

I hope no one was caught by surprised. After all chrissy Wallace, son of comrade Mike Wallace (seeBS news), and Juan Williams are long time faux denizens. When they began to add the likes of Marie Harf and Donna Brazille, it was only a matter of time til they came out of the closet as a full fledged leftist Fake News mouthpiece.

I knew Fox was history when they brought on board Paul Ryan to the Board, Donna Brazile, Marie Harf, Robert Wolf and made Capo Cavuto a VP. Juan Williams and Gasparino are their Lib Voices but they are empty suits.

There are still Freepers who are watching FAUX. It’s their choice, of course.
However, Can’t understand why they enjoy getting peed on by a
Network that hates them.

95% of media outlets, including talk radio and cable news, only care about ideology to the extent they think their consumers do.

They don't lead with ideas, they see where the parade is going and try to jump in front of it.

I turrned Fox off a year ago. TV box shut down entirely now, last time it was on the only thing I watched was Lou Dobbs on Fox Business.

Never cared much for Tucker laughing at his guests, got tired of Laura, got really tired of Hannity’s redundancy, did like Steve Hilton on weekends when I could remember it...other than that, the morning show was pretty decent still, but that was about it.

Don’t miss it at all now, no TV at all, I get my news right here and Breitbart. Don’t really need much else with all these people osting links to articles I can usually tell are at least not eyeball deep in liberal newspeak...(orwell reference, yep) Occasionally I do see one from CNN, NYT or whatever, I just ignore those.

When Faux Snooze fired Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch turned the operation over to his ultra-left sons, and wives, the channel took an immediate leftward lurch! Its transition to a leftist channel is now complete! Buh bye Faux Snooze!
