In what surely will be a topic of debate in the days ahead, Fox News opinion host Tucker Carlson in his opening monologue last night came out swinging, declaring that: “Our capital city is currently under military occupation. By Inauguration Day, there are expected to be more than 26,000 armed federal troops in Washington. No living American has seen a moment like the one we’re watching now.” He pressed on nearly twenty minutes overall. Here is a little more of what he said (video above),

Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued the arrival of thousands of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration is a "message about power." His 22-minute monologue on Monday made the case that the deployment, captured in harrowing images of the nation's capital in lockdown ahead of a transfer of presidential power, is needlessly large. "So, no matter what they are telling you, those 26,000 federal troops are not there for your safety," Carlson said. "Instead, unmistakably, the Democratic Party is using those troops to send the rest of us a message about power. We're in...

If Fox News wants to restore its cable news ratings dominance, changes will have to be visible far lower in its organization than what is being reported. Though I was angry over its election night coverage and have been dismayed at the behavior of a number of its on-air personalities, I take no joy in the ratings crisis that seems to be engulfing Fox News. For all its faults, its reach, resources, and stable of outstanding talent like Tucker Carlson make it an essential voice in a nation with a media scene that is getting scarier by the day. There...

Fox already had a whole list of Democrat Activists and their staff: Juan Williams, Marie Harf, Donna Brazille, Geraldo Riveral, etc. These individuals are annoying and are not to be trusted. What brought it to a head for me was Chris Wallace's disgusting bias during as a debate "moderator", similar to the blonde bimbo's opposition researched interview with Trump prior to the 2016 election. Also, the travelogue by Tucker Carlson on the Friday night after the election in which he basically told his followers to be thankful they live in such a wonderful country, after being told not to mention...

Fox News, which has watched its ratings leadership slip since the election loss of President Trump, announced a major revamp of its daytime lineup Monday. The conservative-leaning network, which is typically the dominant leader among cable news viewers, has seen CNN and MSNBC surpass it in the Nielsen ratings in many hours throughout the day since the Nov. 3 election. -snip- The major change is the move of "The Story With Martha MacCallum" out of its 7 p.m. Eastern time slot to make way for a new opinion show, tentatively named "Fox News Primetime," which will have a rotating group...

The rise of Newsmax TV has caused a major shake-up at Fox News, which announced Monday that its early evening show host Martha MacCallum has been demoted back to an early afternoon slot, among other changes to the lineup. "Newsmax's consistently strong numbers during the day and especially at the 7 p.m. ET slot has caused panic at Fox, which rarely makes lineup changes," Newsmax said in a statement Monday, adding with a wink, "The Fox is on the run." MacCallum's "The Story" had long been the #1 cable news show in the 7 p.m. time slot, until Newsmax TV's...

CNN: “the TV companies that beam [right media] into millions of homes around the country also bear some responsibility” The ‘never let a crisis go to waste’ crew are busily turning Wednesday’s Capitol riot into their very own Reichstag fire, using it as the premise by which to ban President Trump across social media and now, apparently, to go after cable companies for being complicit in “spreading disinformation” by giving Fox News a platform. Lest you be (justifiably) confused by the meaning of “disinformation,” remember that it does not include years of the media and Democrats lying about Russia, Russia,...

Carlson: "The media didn’t always think that violent political protests were a big deal, in fact, last year when BLM was destroying our cities and torching places like Kenosha and Minneapolis, they were the language of the unheard."

They are blaming Fox for the Capitol "insurrection". It's getting serious folks.

If President Trump tunes into Fox News this weekend, he may see something unexpected: a point-by-point fact-check to wild election fraud claims made by some of his favorite hosts on the network. After voting technology company Smartmatic sent Fox News a blistering legal threat that accused the network of participating in a "disinformation campaign" against it, the network has started airing a remarkable news package debunking claims its hosts and guests have propagated. The package aired for the first time Friday night on Lou Dobbs' show. Fox News said the same package would air Saturday night on Jeanine Pirro's program...

Fox News Channel on Tuesday night declared that Democrats would retain control of the House of Representatives, picking up at least five seats. The channel did not identify key pickups for Democrats and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, or regional trends, or identify how the projection was developed when it was announced before 9:30 p.m. The Associated Press had yet to declare a winner in many contentious races when Fox News made the announcement.

I just read on twitter (not monitoring Fox these days) that he interrupted the HHS Secretary to say that Biden "is the president elect... He's the president-elect sir!" WTF is the "president-elect"? It's a fictional office and doesn't exist! Screw you, Chris Wallace!

In a bizarre video retweeted Tuesday by President Donald Trump, a sinister-looking Randy Quaid is seen in a closeup with flashing lights illuminating his bearded face as he intones, “Fox News daytime ratings have completely collapsed.” Did the actor, who posted his proclamation nearly two weeks ago, know what he was talking about? Fox’s daytime viewership dropped 32 percent from the two weeks prior to Election Day to the two weeks after, the Nielsen company said. The post-election, weekday average daytime viewership of 1.63 million was roughly equivalent to that of CNN (1.68 million) and MSNBC (1.71 million). CNN was...

Fox News pulled its highest November ratings in the network’s history, the company said Wednesday, citing Nielsen Media Research. The network had the top four cable news programs among both adults in general and viewers 25-54, according to a statement from Fox. The network had 3.9 million prime-time viewers and surpassed 10 million total viewers for six telecasts in November. Several of the network’s prime-time opinion programs had their best-rated month among viewers 25-54 ever, including “Hannity,” “The Ingraham Angle” and “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” according to the statement. The network led both CNN and MSNBC in total prime-time viewers, with...

I haven’t posted a topic in awhile so forgive me for being rusty...a lot of freepers have been onto Fox and its changes for quite awhile but was the point where you finally had it? For me it was when Neil Cavuto was stating the President was advocating killing people over hydroxychloroquine any other President and Cavuto would have been fired

Patrick Rooney, Founder of Old School™, discusses the key reason many conservative and independent pundits, politicians and other societal leaders such as Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, General "Mad Dog" Mattis and others are turning against President Trump at the time that their support would help most.

We’ve given you a taste of the God-awful Fox television series that is Filthy Rich. There’s the greed and corruption from the Monreaux family of televangelists, including the illegitimate children. While last week's November 9 episode, “2 Corinthians 3:17” included a mother retelling how she refused a coerced abortion, that was an outlier. November 16's episode, “James 4:1,” pushed abortion. With Eugene Monreaux (Gerald McRaney) presumed dead, Margaret Monreaux (Kim Cattrall) is running the show. She must now cope with her daughter, Rose (Aubrey Dollar), going to New York City for an abortion. The father, Mark (Mark L. Young), presented...

Three weeks ago FOX News was riding high. It’s ratings had never been higher thanks to Donald Trump and his supporters. Then the fraudulent election took place and FOX immediately disowned their audience. Trump supporters were no longer welcome. And if anyone dared to question the fraudulent election they were immediately mocked and sneered at. The latest ratings numbers were released today for the formerly Trump friendly network. And, OH MY GOSH! FOX NEWS CRASHED!!

Fox News is a dinosaur. If you slap the head, the tail won’t feel it for two weeks. Thus, I have commented multiple times in the past about the coming demise of Fox News. If memory serves, I think I gave them 2-5 years before the fall. I said this a couple years ago. Well, now it’s happening. And their current circumstances represent a bellwether of things to come. Once the hyenas got rid of Roger Ailes, Fox News began its downward slide. Sure the network lived on the muscle-memory of the greatest man in cable news. But when Ailes...
