funny, they seem to think viewership is down because Trump is less popular…

hey fox! take a hint… chris wallace

viewership is down because the “news” angle jumped into biden’s bed

It’s down because they have a lot of never Trumpers over there and the network is sliding left in general.

A couple of other conservative networks are prospering because of it.

As Mark Twain once observed, The uninformed do not read the news; those who do are misinformed.

Donna Brazile cut my viewer hours.

Still like Jesse Waters and Greg G.

Twain never said that. Another Misattributed quote to Twain.

And so where exactly where do you get the news regarding current events taking place.

A crackerjack box?

What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.

Yes. FoxNews needs to get back to reporting how the election was stolen and the massive fraud. Real stories like that will bring viewers back. That is what the viewership wants.

Probably got him mixed up with Yogi Berra who once told a newspaper, “I really didn’t say everything I said.” Since it came from a newspaper, does it make us uninformed or misinformed?

That one actually is but I was actually waiting for someone to attribute it to Reagan who lifted it from Twain

Fox News Ratings Free Fall Is a ‘Self-Inflicted Wound,’ Insiders Say

The network fell behind CNN and MSNBC in key ratings figures for the first time in 20 years—a remarkable nosedive that has staffers worried and critics gloating.

Pretty good article. I agree that they miss Roger Ailes.

Just curious, who are the “never Trumpers” on Fox News?

Ben_Natuf · 2021-02-08T13:40:31.194Z

nope. just need to leave the bedchamber. too late though, they already gave the assist

Brazile is a symptom of the leftward slide. Bringing in more dems and starting to weed out those friendly toward Trump.

They did can Stirewalt which was a good move but not enough.

I still like a few at fox including our esteemed host. Not as many though and pretty much no one anymore during the day.

I have found other conservative news sources during the day and early evening. Greg Kelly on at 6 pm at newsmax is quite good for example.

Camp · 2021-02-08T15:17:16.370Z

Been watching more NewsMax.

Won’t pay extra for OAN on DirecTV.

If OAN wants me they need to be subscription free.

I pay for Oan thru roku. They are ok. I found them very useful during the voter fraud hearings as they carried all of them.

Usually i find them useful for catching up on the days news quickly.

After about 30 minutes though they seem to be repeating themselves a lot. They don’t have the left wing slant that fox is going to more and more during the day especially.

Just my opinion. Nobody has to agree with my assessments.
