Wednesday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh took a jab at Fox News for the airtime the cable news network was allotting for critics of President Donald Trump.
Based on that, Limbaugh suggested Fox News Channel change its name to “the Fox Never Trumper Network.”
Partial transcript as follows (courtesy RushLimbaugh.com):
There’s something interesting about this impeachment inquiry, ladies and gentlemen, because they are doing it in the Intelligence Committee. One of the things Trump said, by the way, is that Adam Schiff should have should be charged with treason. Now, you think, “Well, wuh, wuh?”

Fox began its leftward spiral during the very first presidential debate - Fox Business is still ok but for how long?

They're digging (and have dug) their own graves. Haven't watched FOX for more than five minutes since the '16 election.

99% of America does not watch FOX News. 3 million people is about the largest audience FOX has for 2 or 3 shows. 327 million Americans have other things to do.

I was listening to Rush when he said that and was pretty sure I was hearing the kiss of death for Fox. They've earned it-with the possible exception of Tucker ,Watters or Gutfeld who I listen to on XM, sometimes...….

Rush has said he is close friends with Wallace. Wonder how that is going to hold up.

We've gone full bore OANN. Last weeks scream fest at The Five was the very last straw. Click. And nevermore. We've had our absolute fill of Donna Brazile, Juan Williams, Bret Baier, Shep Smith, John Roberts, Neil Cavuto etal. And the morning crew is just weak tea. Enough already. What was was great. Fair and balanced and all that. But the last 3 years have slip slided into CNN-Lite. I imagine with upper management changes/deaths/lawsuits and giving management to the next generation, this was to be expected.
I guess we just didn't expect quite what we got. pity. fool me once...

Rush close friends with Chris Wallace? I've never heard him say that. He was a long-time friend of the late Roger Ailes, former CEO of FOX News.

The final straw for me came on Tuesday. Bill Hemmer's show. They had Robert Torricelli on their "A-Team Panel! Robert Torricelli!!! Look him up if you're not familiar with his background. He was accused of taking Thousands of dollars along with Rolex watches and other expensive gifts. Senator from NJ! Crooked as sin! And he NOW shows up on FOX! Stunning! I think now would be a good time for a NEW Conservative station to pop up. It needs to be someone who people can tune into on Regular TV. Not everyone can get OAN or wants to pay for programming.

Vintage Rush. Always a little slow on the uptake. Some of us knew this 2-3 years ago. Why does Rush always call things what they are when it becomes too apparent to hide any longer?

Rush is correct. We stopped watching Fox News except during actual crises because every panel is stacked with nevertrumpers. There are hours at a time when Fox sounds indistinguishable from MSDNC or CNN. And anchors Shep Smith and Chris Wallace continually give leftists a pass while verbally thrashing conservatives and/or republicans repeatedly. Even Special Report went from being the best hour of news on TV to just another Fox nevertrumper show.

I used to watch the Bret Baier's show every night, all the way through, DVRed to make sure I didn't miss it. As it became more and more about the insane Demonrat "presidential candidates", all 23 of these fools and clowns, I started fast forwarding through the Dem candidate portion, ever expanding. Then Molly Hemingway and a few other sensible panel members started appearing less often and the leftist panel members started taking over, pumping endless leftist drivel during what used to be an interesting panel discussion of the day's news. So, started looking at the panel members and when it looks like a bunch of MSNBC lunatics, I fast forwart through that.
I haven't watched Fox News for a couple of weeks now, and I wonder if I will ever bother to go back.
Paul Ryan has taken over Fox News and turned it NeverTrump like himself. A real tragedy.

#16, Rush did say it. He also said they have had family dinners together and that they were friends.
