Now that millions of Fox News viewers have awakened to the network’s betrayal of their loyal viewers, what are we to think about those hosts we have let into our homes all these years? We’ve long thought that these anchors we relied upon for actual news were on the same political page as their viewers – reverence for the Constitution, law enforcement, our military, freedom, belief in American greatness, etc.
While it was clear some were not all-in Trump fans, Fox viewers assumed they shared their values. So have they been faking all these years? Have they gone home and made fun of Fox watchers

Another LDotter recommended America's Voice news network on Dish channel 219 a while back. The production and sets aren't fancy (yet), but I can watch without getting infuriated, and that counts for something. Fox is completely off my list. Too many sellouts, communists and globalists, and not near enough Americans. And an odd phenomenon, now that I dont respect them their chicks dont looks so hot anymore either.

My first wake up call was when I observed Alison Camerata's transformation. She was pro-republican when she was on Fox, and was clearly pro-democrat on CNN. I realized that many news anchors are pretty good actors...who clawed their way to the top...staying on air was their main priority. I witnessed Meagan Kelly and Bret Baier attempt to take out Trump in the Fox debate in 2016.
I think Tucker and Lou and Maria are genuine. I know that Judge Jeanine is, because she stood strong and got fired for it. I hope they drift over to Newsmax or OANN, but I know the money is hard to leave.
After election night when I saw the all blue set at Fox and heard them call Arizona, I was done! I use sling and I removed Fox from my favorites list. I paid $5 and added Newsmax.

I assume they will lose millions of viewers before FOX is flushed down the toilet. We will not forget or forgive. There are a handful of commentators I enjoy and might watch them now and then but I will never turn FOX on and leave it on all day like I use to. Hoping President Trump starts up a new conservative station. TNN, Trump News Network.

Fox News deserves our scorn. I don’t expect a network to cater to my political beliefs but I do expect it to be fair and balanced. Remember when Fox News actually lived up to that claim? I actually do not watch much television anymore and I don’t miss it. Having someone insult what I believe does not appeal to me. The left has gone so far over the basic decency line that most of what they produce is unwatchable. Their sanctimonious virtue signaling is nothing more than forced group think. Even the commercials are loaded with politically correct imaging. I don’t miss Fox News, but it is a shame that the powers that be decided to become nothing more than a mouthpiece for the radical left. This is going to prove to be a very bad decision. The country needs truth in report and it is not getting it right now from the establishment media. They are a cancer of misinformation and left wing propaganda.

Well, I hope Fox News will be happy not having Fox watchers around "to make fun of" anymore! It is good that our country still has other options to choose from, and the results of this election will decide if that will still be true.

I was surprised Patricia did not see Stirewalt’s true colors.
No matter. Fox News. Bye bye.

As of yesterday the Fox decision desk has not pulled their projection that democrats will pick up at least 5 seats in the House.

#2, I would like to add Greg Gutfeld to that list. Always love him.
#6, I felt the same way watching that Stirewalt person. Could not understand how Fox would put such a smarmy person on the air.
I don't think Sandra Smith realizes how much damage she did just with one off-hand remark. Of course, the damage was already there, but she just confirmed it in my mind.

#2 and I'd add Pete Hegeseth and Jesse Waters to that list.
Stirewall (sp) is a pompus KIA (know it all). He talks down to the audience and is wrong most of the time.

Given the choice, would FOX choose Trump's demise or their own? FOX chose HARA-KIRI with a rusted knife, thinking it won't be that painful. It's not the knife that's gonna kill them. It's the RUST!

About 2 years ago ..when the 2 brothers took over.. Fox began the change, Cavuto, Judge Napolotano, Sandra Smith, Melissa, Harris, Charles, Gaspaneno, Clyburn, Wallsce, Stywalt, Scott, Vittert, Arthel went far left, they hired Brazil & Ryan, didn't show Trump rallies, never uttered a negative against Biden. I hope Trump puts his $$$ in Newsmax to make it better or creates his own network. I haven't watched Fox since election night. I cancelled my Fox Nation subscription. .You can watch Newsmax free by adding the app to you phone , i-pad or go to newsmax.com.

When do we get to see Fox's BLM-like demands of the clown show? What business sense does it make to go the way of failing and flailing CNN and MSNBC? They must think they have a seat at the marxist table. Idiots. They can change their claim from fair and balanced to bought and paid for.

Stirewalt was M. Kelly's slathering court jester/sidekick when she had her FOX show, back when she was a crown jewel and ratings queen. He gushed and giggled with her, and I could never understand what she loved about him.
I saw a video clip with him in it on Newsmax--big bowtie and all. YIKES!!!!!

This is by far the best article on FOX since the election. I think we all do feel betrayed. We allowed them into our homes, 24/7, and all the while they were laughing at us. I will add Dana Perino to the list. She comes across all sweet and perfect, but I think she is a Never Trumper. Her loyalty went with the Bushies. I also think the Babe who does the weekend Fox and Friends (can't remember her name) with Pete is a Lib. I rarely watched that show as I couldn't stand her! I think we're all scrambling to find a new home. Right now, I'm enjoying Newsmax. Wherever the majority of us former Fox watchers land, that Network will be wise to take advantage of the new influx and improve their daily programming. Someday, they could be the new FOX!

To reiterate:
The Left controls people by blackmail and threats, including threats of violence.
1. If you have skeletons in your closet, they will find and use them.
2. If your extended family has skeletons, they will find and threaten to expose them, to force your compliance.
3. If you and your extended family are untouchable, they will list everyone you know and love, and explain thete might be accidents...
Think about that before you totally blame them.
The first beast that came out of the sea, was Soviet Propaganda, which was joyfully accepted by the Democrat party. The "whore of Babylon may be an allegory for the 'free lover that was the 60's call to tempt Americans to their message.
The second beast, who enjoin us to worship the first and comes from the earth (our native land), are the media and academia.
Notice, they are already threatening persecution of anyone who is helping Trump. Despite his many faults,, Trump is fighting a righteous battle..
Christ will come to defeat the beasts, and their lord the 'Dragon', and cast them into the lake of fire.
Understand that revelation is couched in allegory and may not refer to a specific single EVENT, but may also symbolize our constant struggle against evil.
Be strong. Be courageous. Be prepared for this generation's Armageddon.

That certainly is a riveting quote at the end of the article.

#13, thanks for that reminder, I couldn't stand watching the two of them and even then wondered what was happening to Fox. Stirewalt's schtick is a real turn off. He reminds me of a snake oil salesman from the early 20th century. At one point during election night he called Chris Wallace "Brother Wallace" and I had to change the channel.

What Fox did is called in the real business world as being corporate suicide. With their current crop of leftist and liberal Democrat and Never Trump talking heads Fox will never be able to come back, as they will now be competing against all the liberal media networks with a really spread out customer base. Ask any successful business person and they will tell you that once you loose your customer base and reputation, that as a business you are in real trouble.
Lately when you watch Fox there has been no reason to watch the likes of CNN or MSNBC, as the Fox talking heads almost continuously keep playing recordings of CNN and MSNBC anti-Trump propaganda videos during their Fox shows.
As for the creepy Stirewald and his wimpy bow tie, if a loose female ever showed him her varmint, he would be sure to faint!
Clearly Fox and Sears have something in common as they are both obsolete entities.

Although some of the Fox people have been leftist, wooden-headed dummies all along, like Williams, Perino, Brazille, Cavuto and Wallace, I believe the higher-ups forced the rest to flip or find another job. It became more obvious for most of them in 2020 and especially at the famous "George Soros is a Sacred Cow" moment. "Fair and balanced" was not good enough for them because somehow, Soros injected a pile of money into the operation.

Fox is showing the President and First Lady laying a wreath at Arlington on a split screen with Joe and Jill laying a wreath at the Korean War memorial.
Jill and Joe. Playing the part…..

I continue to like Brett Baier. He calls out the people who are spewing falsity. I don't believe he is a turncoat and I thought he was fair in the debate. Brit Hume is one of the good guys, too, and it's always worth watching Kimberley Strassel when she is on a Fox Panel Also Bill McGurn and Bill Bennett. Mollie Hemingway is always good. Dagen McDowell, Tucker Carlson. Even Mark Levin, although I cannot watch him for long. The screechy rampages are a turnoff. My husband is a big fan of Levin.
I cannot stand to watch the Eric Shawn/Arthel Neville show, but Harris Faulkner is good.
