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

Twain never said that. Another Misattributed quote to Twain.

to get the impression that they know what’s what

nothing could be further from the truth

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.

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

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

Donna Brazile cut my viewer hours.

Still like Jesse Waters and Greg G.

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.

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.

I do find it humorous that you think FoxNews has become pro-Biden. With rare exception, all the hosts were pro-Trump.

But the audience didn’t even want to hear a hint of any reality that wasn’t pro-Trump. That’s why they are losing audience share to more pro-Trump venues. And Fox was reporting too much truth. Like AZ going to Biden. That incensed Trump supporters even though Fox was correct. Why is that?

Ben_Natuf · 2021-02-08T16:17:31.415Z

who said foxnews as a whole? specifically reference chris wallace and the “news” people who consistantly use dnc talking points as “facts” to question anyone with.

I stopped watching news programming years ago. I now scan the headlines on my computer over my first cup of coffee.

I think i would rather fall into a pit full of porcupines than watch or listen to Chris Wallace.

He should have moved to CNN years ago.

Why don’t they just stop lying?

Wouldn’t that be easier?
