Fox News seems to have taken a page from the progressive left in countering the president’s slam: Attack the president and when he strikes back, blame it on him for starting the brouhaha in the first place.
In other words, no room for self defense when your enemy is the bullying progressive left.
‘Trump Trashes Fox News: They Give Me ‘The Worst Polls’ is yesterday’s MediaiteHeadline. (Mediaite, Aug. 18, 2019) No explanation about how Fox trashed Trump with a poll claiming that he trails the top four Democrats running in the DNC primaries—a mainstream media-propagated poll concluding inevitable failure for Trump—even before a single vote can be

They have been working on this for quite a while. We left two years or so ago because we sensed what was happening.

Fox is cutting it's own throat with it's slow switch over to CNN,Jr. They are using their same old "fair and balanced" crap and now are, as Bret says, "unafraid"' They had better be afraid because they have gone over the ledge with all their new radicals. I would suggest that Fox either clean up their own "swamp" of the alligators or they will devour them.

Except for Lou Dobbs and Trish Reagan, FOX lost me when the boys took over. Hannity, Tucker, Judge Piro and Shannon are good but repetitious.
We started streaming 3 years ago and are pretty much off FOX. OAN is OK.

What is so obvious, is that the media organizations aim for the low information voter. So they are not in the business to inform but to propagandize. It is like our schools which perform so badly. They are not in the business to teach their students to use their own potential to find the truth, but to mold them into automatons who never question anything. I guess the only result they are working for is control.

"Ye better dance with the one what brung ye," as my Appalachian Scots-Irish forbears might have said. It's a hard lesson. My allegiance to FoxNews began to flag back when Bill O'Reilly was too cowardly to vet Obama. And then I was gone for sure when FoxNews strung us along until the last minute of the Romney/Obama election, making believe Romney had a chance just so we'd stay glued to our screens----uh, to their commercials, actually. I remember so well the night that one of the new blond young women (Megan Kelly maybe?) ad-libbed that even the best Romney supporters were doom and gloom in the green room. Just off-handedly. ** Somebody got to her with the Riot Act, as that comment was never made by anyone again. **

There's an old saying: institutions that don't start out hard hard eventually get corrupted to the hard left. FOX News is a perfect example of that axiom working in real time.

Chris Wallace is the worst of the lot, an insufferable smirkster - a damned fool.
Shep Smith is right behind Wallace. (no pun intended.)

This is not necessarily a bad thing. Most of us - the deplorable - don't need Fox to continue our support for Trump. However, many of the fence-sitters need to be convinced. Having a media outlet which isn't seen as pandering to the Right but still has a non-left bent may persuade them that the Dems have nothing to add of value.

All of us have seen FOX moving to the Left. Shep has been unwatchable since Katrina. I simply turn the channel at 3:00 if I have FOX on the TV. I have found I love that with the press of a Button I can make Donna Brazile disappear! I refuse to watch her. Hubby and I usually enjoy watching The Five, but we turned it off during the week that Brazile sat in for Juan. I never watch Chris Wallace anymore, in fact I watch less and less on FOX, so, I'm all in for a new Conservative station to take their place! They had better not make Trump turn against them, they will be sorry if he backs a new station! That station will take off like a Rocket!! Murdoch, you had better get a handle on what your boys are doing!

For all practical purposes, we've stopped watching FOX News. They packed their panels with so many democrat and republican nevertrumpers that for many hours of the day they sound just like MSDNC. That and how they obsess on one issue all day for hours on end. Worse yet, in the 7th, 8th or more hours later, they're still blaring out the FOX NEWS ALERT sound every single solitary time they're repeating the same thing they said in the hours prior. VERY ANNOYING! If something is an alert, use the alert sound. If you're still harping on something, no matter if it's a later day anchor or not, STOP pretending it's an alert. It's not.
Anywho, Chris Wallace, Andrew Napolitano, Shep Smith, Steve Hayes, Bill Kristol, George Will, Juan Williams, Donna Brazile and the (what seems like) cast of thousands of nevertrumpers made FOX News unwatchable for us.

Yesterday's reporting on the new polls showing Trump losing big against most Democrats were ridiculous. I dismissed them immediately Not worth a single tear or anguish.

OAN is THE reliable source for TV news reporting. FOX has jumped the shark, ...with only a few exceptions. It can no longer claim to be, ''Fair and Balanced.'' ...sad

Did a double take when I saw Eric Bolling on CNN. Guess that's where old foxes go to die.

First saw this FOX poll mentioned on Drudge and was astonished - remain mystified about the Left turn taken by both by FOX and Drudge. After all of these years, it is kind of known what happened to FOX but what on earth happened to Drudge? OAN is mentioned often and please consider Whatfinger.com - it is a massive aggregate link news site, features lots of news videos, includes conservative small sites that are just getting started, is run by our military veterans, and, imho, is a larger, smarter, and great conservative/independent alternative to Drudge.

Just an opinion, but if Whatfinger would change its name to something more dignified I'd be more inclined to watch it, as I now sometimes do.

I haven't watched Fox since the 2008 Pres. campaign when Carl Cameron and Wallace were absolutely gaga over John McCain.

While we used to watch a lot of the Fox News Channel presentations, we now have a rule of thump in our home, when Fox puts on the Trump haters and the leftist and liberal Democrat politicians and operatives, or starts replaying CNN or MSNBC anti-Trump video clips, we simply say goodbye and change channels. The weekends on Fox have the most rabid Trump haters.
