Suppose that you are an intrepid reporter — accent on the "intrepid." You witness voter fraud so vast that it reverses the outcome of a presidential election in a few states, enough to cause what should be the losing candidate to win. As a reporter, what do you want to do? (snip) If Fox wants to win back the respect of conservatives, it should unleash its intrepid reporters. Most conservatives would greatly enjoy learning how voter fraud can be committed, how much has occurred in past elections, and how successful prosecutions have been. They would also like to hear from judicial scholars

Fox News was barely hanging on as a reliable news network before the election. They went mainstream. They’re toast.

We must thank the Murdochs and Paul Ryan for taking a good network and driving it into the dirt. Except for Tucker Carlson I have watched my last FNC program. When Tucker leaves, I'm gone, too.

Fox feigned fairness four four years to boost their ratings. Conservatives had nowhere else to go. Now they don't have to anymore, and they won't. They'll compete with the alphabets for the Antifa/SJW/Progressive/Fascist/Socialist market, which is much smaller than they think, and already divided up too thin. Good luck. I predict a dramatic fall. Trump should create a network. Maybe he will, and eat them all for dinner.

#8 We have Newsmax and OANN. If you can't sit conveniently with your remote and watch the news, get on your computer and find truth! Bannon's war room has been my "go to" during the election.

Dana Perino owes an apology for an on air remark she made yesterday —- a speculation that increased support by blacks and hispanics for GOP was “just rented.” Dana Perino cannot be allowed to get away with the implication that black and hispanic GOP voters were bought.

Fox put the final in the coffin when they cancelled Judge Jeanine last night. She should move to Newsmax, that's where the audience has gone.

Fox News hasn't dug a hole, they have built a nest. A leftist nest full of democrat communists. Let them wallow in it along with Rhino Scum like Dana Perino. Tucker Carlson seems to be slowly coming to the conclusion that the election is being stolen by the democrat communists, his fellow brethren in the media, and of course Soros, Buffet, and the tech giants. Will he have the courage to stand up and say we cannot let this happen? He needs to back President Trump for the sake of our country.
Wonder how long Tucker has a job if he finally goes on and warns the American people that the election is being stolen?

I know it won't happen, but I would love to see Pete Hegseth, Judge Jeanine, Gregg, Jesse, Laura, and, of course, Tucker walk out of Fox en masse. I still record their shows (but I do mute Jedediah Bila because of her annoying voice and idiotic ideas).

Feckless Fox isn’t a Lazarus. I’ll watch Tucker if I get a chance and some of the 8-11pm crew and Waters and Greg show.
They need move to OANN or Newsmax, I’m not watching the skewed “news” at feckless Fox anymore.

As much as I love what Tucker and a smattering of others offer, I've decided not to watch any of them. Let all their ratings tank, and then they can decide if they're as committed to presenting truth and serious investigation as they claim to be. I realize they have contractual obligations and restraints, but if I support their shows, I'm helping FOX. Sorry. No can do.

Levin, Carlson, Pirro, Gutfeld and Hilton should pull up stakes and move elsewhere, there's a country to save.
Rehire Shep Smith and go after CNN and MSNBC for the hate audience. Yeah, pooping your own nest, there's a great business plan.

Fox's evening lineup (Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham) has gradually become the only worthwhile voices on a 24/7 network. The illusion of being 'fair and balanced' feeds other Fox ratings. Sadly I believe the only way to redirect the Network back to where Rupert Murdock and Roger Ailes intended is to abandon it and its advertising dollars altogether. The evening lineup is under unbreakable contracts so moving to a competitor is probably impossible but I am not so constrained. I have cancelled cable but am still able to view Carlson, etc., on the internet. If WE are not willing to sacrifice then we don't deserve a fair election.

Biill Sammon runs the news operations @ fox . Not one actual bit of conservative news will be of actual significance. A few of them appear to rally the base but it’s ryan’s “throw a few crumbs” technique to tweak not actually matter

I wish someone would compile a "list" (in the AOC mold) of its advertisers. Not watching Fox helps, but they won't really feel the pain until their advertisers are aware.

What happens to Fox News if Biden is inaugurated? What direction will they go? They were anti-Trump. Will they be for Biden or against him? If for him, they will be like CNN.
I have joined the mass exodus of Fox viewers going to Newsmax.

As many others have said before me, Fox is dead. I've been with them since Day 1-- until recently. I switched to OANN and am quite happy there. I realized early on that Fox was not covering the rallies as they had in '16. Red Flag#1. I switched to OAN who covered every one of them.

Just hope the investors and owners of NewsMax are capable of capitalizing on this windfall and will invest in more live news and programmers to attract new advertising revenue. Then maybe they can afford to cherry pick some of the Conservative “stars” from Fox, et al.

AMEN! Chris Wallace, asking for the 10,000th time if Trump would repudiate White Supremicists, did it for me, and calling for Arizona way early while ignoring Florida pushed the ball over the goal line. And enduring Brett Baier and others allowing their "reporters on the street" to go on and on about "unproven" fraud accusation......Bill Bennett was on one Special Report and calmly stated that everything is unproven until it is actually investigated, which takes time and which has not been down. These reporter comments just add fuel to the fire, the fire being fraud did not exist in any meaningful way. Newsmax is on the horizon for me, with the exception of Carlson, Levin and a few others, including some, but not ALL (Jedediah beware) Fox and Friends hosts. Fox USED to be fair and balanced, but hiring a woman who gave Hillary debate answers on the sly was a clue. And Juan Williams............?????????

Newsmax and OAN both need to significantly step up their game. Newsmax has pretty good reach on cable venues and through OTT streaming, but still seems a bit like amateur hour. They need some of the big names to call it home.

Well apparently there is no way to legally prove fraud no matter how much evidence there is, so there must be absolutely no successful prosecutions for fraud in an election ever.

The timing of Fox going full on China was very revealing. Murdoch’s son is a Hollywood wannabe. Now the left can switch its viewership to multiple worthless channels. I can watch Tucker via YouTube (Fox gets no income from that) and I’ll miss Sean and Laura, but it’s imperative Fox get the message loud and clear. Like Juanita Broderick said in her tweet, we built you and now you betray us.

Biden admits the most extensive and inclusive Democrat voter fraud organization in the history of American politics . . . and you guys* did it for the Obama administration.
Trump's great lawyers are quietly paddling under the waters. Alito's Order a day or so ago did not come from out of the blue.

At a time in the past, when I watched a lot more TV, Fox was my primary channel; as years have passed I watch TV less and Fox less and less and less to almost zero. I tune into Mr Carlson for a few minuets and that is it; When I do watch news, it is Fox Business News, which to date is not corrupted to any great extent. ( I also switch over to CNBC when FBN runs commercials ). Other than that, I get ALL my news from the internet and radio ( Our local papers are Left wing propaganda outlets ).

Fox News chose to join the other two left-wing cable networks. Now they can divide the left-wing pie three ways instead of two, while conservatives switch to Newsmax TV. What a gift Fox News has handed to Newsmax TV.

The Fox News Channel has been sliding down into a liberal hole for a longtime now, clearly it is too late for them to climb out. Just heard they cancelled Judge Janine and that a liberal talking head will take her slot. Kind of like corporate suicide, as Fox will be competing against CNN and MSNBC and the alphabet networks for liberal viewers as the conservative viewing base departs from viewing Fox.

Ask yourself how much longer you will be able to get OAN and Newsmax? AOC and her crew are making up hit lists of conservatives, and what do you think their Alphabet Propagadists are going to want after they helped so hard?
Any alternative news is going to be censored, canceled, bullied and blocked out of existence.
If you want freedom, you have to fight for it.

The Chris Wallace debate performance, coupled with the networks premature calling Arizona for Beijing Biden, did it for me. Fock FOX!

I turned FOX off Tuesday the 3rd. Have not turned it on since. I knew what the coverage that night would be. No doubt and I was not disappointed. Love Tucker..but will not watch him either I will never forgive the backstabbing Creepy Joe and the Ho lovers.
I pray their rating drop fast..
