You realize you're still paying for Fox even if you don't watch it, right?

Half the cowards beating their chests on these posts still pay for cable. Fox gets paid whether you watch or not.

Fox "news" chose to support leftists over profits. They chose poorly, but maybe that was their plan all along. It amazes me that there is a huge, instant cable TV audience for conservative views and honest, accurate reporting and no investors want to take advantage of it.

Haven't watched them in a while...I wonder if they are getting better/different advertisers from their new lefty push.

This does, however, give me the opportunity to once again encourage former Faux viewers like myself to give OAN a look.




OANN is all I watch... never tuned in to newsmax after the election...

You're not considering the fact that, while true that they get carriage fees, the bulk of their funds come from advertisers. If the audience dwindles up and dies, so does the cash flow. Also, the negotiated carriage fees are based on eyes on their channel. You think they pay the Lifetime Channel the same they pay for Fox News? No, but if FOX News viewership keeps dropping, they WILL cut those fees when it comes time to renew.

The new overlords at Fox wanted to be more like CNN so that's a success.

Bad leadership. They catered to specific audience, then spit in that audience’s face in an attempt to appeal to moderates/Dems that want nothing to do with them

Wallace with his TDS and Stirewalt with his fat smug explanations were really the two major issues that drove me away.

Someone needs to start a "just the news" service with less commentary and more news and technical information.

I really dont care to hear journos opinions...left or right.

Fox leans conservative but they try to call it based on the truth more than the other networks. Those of you that WANT biased news can frick off. You want cheerleaders, not news. I understand that the other team plays by those rules but that doesn't make it right.


frick you for thinking Fox News are straight shooters. They’re biased just like everyone else. They’re GOPe globalists to the core. Everything they report is through that lens. You calling people out for wanting biased news and cheerleaders, frick you, you hypocrite. Fox News is the same fricking thing. You just like their bias. You’re no saint and defender of real news. You’re blowing con men.

BB has a news show. What the hell do you want it a news show? He is not an opinion guy.

Dumb as hell to want a news show that is not radical to drop.

You you know the diff between news shows and opinion shows? Apparently not.

Bret Baier, Chris Wallace, and Martha MacCallum masquerade as news shows, not opinion.

And they are three of the worst.
