No. However, I believe the political right, ideologically, is on the right side of sanity at the moment so its easier for me to watch Fox and filter out the batshit lunacy than it is to do the same with CNN, NBC, or the Networks who are irredeemably manipulative and dishonest 100% of the time.


I agree with you. If there is truly some "Breaking News", I will turn on Fox.

But I believe that there are a few topics that they just blend in with the normal Right topics, that I think are anti-American. And by and large, their viewers suck it all up like the rest, and it's assumed to be the Right patriotic view.

Primarily, anything that has to do with being war hawks, and ignoring the failures of big pharma.

I'd assume big banking too, but I'm not smart enough to evaluate those policies.

No, and they are worse than their counterparts. Due to their “conservative” reputation, many people still believe what they say. So they are able to subtly deceive many of the folks who still get their news from legacy media.

"Trust, but verify".

Fox's original guiding principal was "Fair and Balanced", and that means offering BOTH sides. That is a good thing, as Steve Bannon starts his WarRoom Show with clips of the Left's positions.

Fox, for whatever reason, totally IGNORED the possible fraud in the '20 election, which was the whole point of the Jan. 6 protests. MAGA wanted an HONEST investigation into the possible fraud (Hunter's Laptop and that Intel Agents Letter at the fore, which swung the election to Biden), and Fox IGNORED that narrative.

Informed people like on this Board know that intimidation from the DOJ and cowardly RINOs not defending the cause of the possible election malfeasance and just installing Biden, is why Fox folded and did not offer both sides. This very Forum felt threatened to the point of employing overt censorship to protect it's most aggressive and critical Posters from possible criminal prosecution for 'Insurrection/Sedition' dialogue. And the Forum as well.

Charles Krauthammer was right: "if you get your politics wrong, it ALL goes bad from there". Let's hope and pray that we/MAGA can restore Rule of Law/Equal Justice the honest and civil way, lest it all go to hell and we go back to the "barrel of a gun". Which is the way Nations have always been formed.

IMO, as we are on the 'Titanic', given that Biden/Dems are throwing printed money, guaranteeing USD inflation and economic dysfunction, and importing massive numbers of immigrants who will have to be subsidized, and initiating wars that will have to be addressed. They are laying this hot potato dysfunction in Trump's lap, and the MSM will fan the flames of real insurrection. Deportation will become a MAJOR impetus for violent and real insurrection. 'Insurrection' being subjective, and a 'justifiable' challenge to the Ruling Party. That assassination of the Healthcare CEO was a hint of things to come, given the massive and subjective disunity.

Lord have mercy on them who love. It's coming.

Watch the Five and Watters for entertainment.

I don't watch FOX but I imagine it was damned entertaining when Watters was crying about his sister being laid off because of DOGE.

FOX is a business, they are there to make a profit. Its a scripted "reality" show just like most news is today
that part

the only thing i trust about them is to do whatever makes them the most money

they are only more successful than the other MSM outlets because they identified a huge underserved market and took steps to exploit it

I Watch but realize that it’s biased when it comes to the evening programming

Their news reporting is okay but it’s slanted too

I like Greg and a few of the ladies are great eye candy. The rest are not good imo.

The morning show is boring.

Jessie is a poor man's O'Reilly.

The gun carrying karate man is unbearable with his scripted talk.

Laura is no bad i guess.

I like Jessie Waters and Gutfeld - both those guys make fun of liberals and TDS relentlessly.

I do enjoy Bret Baier as about the only evening newscaster who is solid and just does the news - not much of a slant at all.

We live in a time where you can’t trust any news source. You have to take a bit of everything and put it through your BS filter. If you have no BS filter, you’re probably watching CNN or MSNBC.
