Worrisome horrors: That really is MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow significantly ahead of Fox News’, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, The Five and Brett Baier.
Fox News’ Shep Smith, already at the bottom, is just slightly ahead of CNN’s Chris Cuomo and Anderson Cooper.
How about that for a Fox News Poll!
It was only on Thursday that Fox came out with another poll, this one indicating that 51 percent of Americans want President Donald Trump impeached.
“Just over half of voters want President Trump impeached and removed from office, according to a Fox News Poll released Wednesday. (Fox News, Oct. 10, 2019)

Yes, exactly. Since Paul Ryan was brought on board, things have been accelerating. I now call it The Weasel News Channel.
Just about done. Still like Tucker, but the rest are pretty much gone. And of course, NeverTrumper Steve Hays has now become a fixture on the Baier panel.

Is Fox brass even aware that without Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham, Lou Dobbs, Judge Jeanine Pirro among others, there would be no reason to tune in to their network?
If they go I go. I do watch less of FOX than I used to. While I do not mind listening to opposing views I don't consider Chris Hahn or Donna Brazile reliable sources for the truth. Keep it up FOX and you will lose your audience. I have a remote control and I know how to use it.

The Murdoch twinks want to be loved in Manhattan. They can go to hell and take Homosexual Paul Ryan with them

They seem much more liberal in the middle of the day (noon to 5:00) than they are late at night and on the weekend. The Greg Gutfeld show is edgy conservative humor, like joking with your conservative friends when libs are not around.

Their website is about as informative as USA Today but I do check it from time to time to see how the markets are doing. I skim right past the one-sided Trump is wrong on Syria articles and the latest "whistleblower" articles. The site is filled with ridiculous celebrity p.r. and "the world is ending" opinion pieces being passed off as actual news.

I uninstalled it from all tablets. I will still watch a few I like on YouTube. It is a shame. I lost Drudge a couple of months ago. That hurt.

President Trump was quite complimentary toward Fox last night, and seemed sincere. He did miss Trish Regan, one of the most interesting. However I agree. Some of these repeat performers, for example Chris Haun I think his name is, and Richard ? Goldstein or something, and of course Juan, Brazile and Ryan will add nothing but heartburn. Certainly we don’t need another liberally infected network. Being Fair and Balanced if fine as a goal, but I suspect they just can’t find a sane or entertaining liberal.

Leftists of all stripes live in la-la-land, and they make up stats to make la-la-land seem real to the rest of us. That's why up is down, right is wrong, and good is bad in their world. Fox cannot turn PDT's base against him; we barely trust Fox and the fair and balanced dysfunction.

I'm waiting for Ducey the Elder to show signs of turning. So far, still good, however.

“la-la-land”?
Fox News is headquartered in NYC. The deepest of blue.
Think “Paul Ryan”...

Again, I am saying we need a MILLIONAIRE to open a Conservative TV Station (just like FOX did years ago). They would have a ready made audience. We are crying for a Conservative station to flock to. I would bet the Conservative Hosts at FOX will go as well. Hannity, Laura, Tucker and Shannon would be welcomed with open arms. Not sure how many others would go. Maybe the Fox and Friends group, but after that, there are lots of never-Trumpers hanging out at FOX! I would go to OANN if I could, but Comcast doesn't seem to want to carry it!

It’s hard to buy these conspiracy theories about Fox going left. Yes, there are a few examples — most notably Shepard Smith — but the vast majority are conservatives. Watch MSNBC, CNN, PBS, CBS, ABC, or NBC for a few days, then come back to Fox and see if you don’t notice a difference.

I would argue that bad news will only energize the faithful and most likely to vote.

Re #14, not a conspiracy theory. It has not gone as far as MSNBC, CNN, etc., but it is not the Fox of old. The change began before the 2016 election. We had to give up Fox except for recording Harris Faulkner’s program (so we could edit when we watched) and sports events (where Fox does the worst coverage).
Even Harris is subtly leaning left. Not challenging her Dem guests as much as in the past. Inching...

I agree that Ryan seems to be the noxious influence here.
Nevertheless, I love Fox and Friends. Off and on during the day I may tune in to anything other than Shep Smith. But usually too busy and will have Rush, then Howie Carr on the radio. And, if I'm able, i'll watch NCIS re-runs while I do chores. Then Tucker, Hannity & Ingraham. If the Patriots are playing, the channel is turned! Except last night. Then the game was on in one room, the President where we were sitting!
Frankly, I avoid watching more because my aggravation tolerance level has gone down. Sometimes Laura has too much antagonistic debating leading nowhere, too late at night. By Shannon Bream, whom I really like, the news has been told again and again. Too much stress already to watch any more.
Those leftwing channels' viewership going up???
Well, it HAD dropped once the whole Russia Collusion scam fell apart on the Mueller Report gaseous emissions. The fact that those channels' rating are going up again merely proves how gullible and "stupid" the Dems are. And lest we forget, Jonathan Gruber credited Obamacare passage due to the "stupidity of the American voter", and, importantly, those voters were Democrats (for the most part).

The FNC should be grateful to President Trump for giving them millions of dollars of free favorable publicity at each of his rallies when he commends certain Fox personalities and shows.

If anyone saw last nights rally, I know that you couldn't possibly believe that those other shows are going up in popularity and Fox News Poll is dropping, (thank you Judi) but there it is and the numbers accompanying the news as you will see may well be a harbinger of where Fox is headed.
