The Fox hosts are browbeating Republican congressman guests and lobbing softballs to their Democratic congressman guests.

The Fox hosts let the Democratic congressman prattle on and on about moving forward with contempt charges against Barr without pointing out the fact that the reason Barr refuses to release the entire unredacted Mueller is because doing so would be breaking federal law. Why in the hell won't anyone push back on this point. It is COMPLETELY ignored by even these Fox News hosts. WTF???

Whoever this Fox News host is even ripped the Georgia Republican House member for holding Holder in contempt basically arguing that Republicans were hypocritical for doing so without pointing out the fact that Holder completely blew off Congressional Republicans at the time and failing to point out that Barr already testified in front of the Senate and has agreed to testify in front of the House with the stipulation that actual House Democrats be the ones asking the questions instead of staffers.

The fact that no one seems to acknowledge that Barr has bent over backwards to legally show as much of the unredacted Mueller report to Dems seems to NEVER be discussed. It is infuriating

Fox is only worth a damn at night.

Fox Business is much better.

Fox News has a liberal/super moderate side. I pay attention to some of it to catch counter points, but usually just stick to the couple shows/hosts I like.

Leland Vittert (sp) is an assclown. He likes to think he is playing devil’s advocate but he’s really just being rude and and obnoxious.

Eh, I like it when they don’t focus too heavy on politics and more on market, but cavuto can be a smug little bitch. I like Charles though.

Boom. One of the chicks on that broadcast also plays the same role. They are close to the Shep syndrome. I switch the channel when they are on.

Dobbs and Varney are my boys. Much prefer listening to them over Hannity.

At least Cavuto admits that he's a Never Trumper, and hasn't liked Trump for years. Cavuto does man up and give props to Trump when deserved, all but admits he was wrong initially about the first round of tariff's on China. Smith, Wallace, Perino, and Baier are establishment hacks.

I stopped watching Fox News because of Meghyn Kelly and haven't returned.

She's was a count. She thought Trump shouldn't retaliate against women who fired at him first.

I did too until I learned he was pumping crappy stocks for pay and settled lawsuits out of court.

Yep I really stopped after the 2012 election. When I started watching again for the 2016 election and what happened to Bill O’Reilley I stopped for good.

I was listening in my car on XM so I couldn't tell who it was. The female host never pushed back on the female Democratic congressman with the fact that Barr can't legally release the full unredacted report.

The single biggest and most important point...the fact that Barr can't release a fully unredacted report was completely ignored. All they could talk about is how Barr and Trump were creating a "constitutional crisis" for "stonewalling" congressional oversight.

The guy followed up by ripping the Republican congressman from Georgia for complaining about Barr being held in contempt while Holder was in the past. He then went on and on about the fact that the national debt was now "at an all time high" (no s###! It's only been going up steadily for 20+ years now and doubled under the previous administration). He then ripped Trump for tweeting about no collusion and for Trump and Republicans not concentrating on getting anything done legislatively. As if Democrats haven't spent 100% on investigations and impeachment ??

Honestly, I wish I could have heard the mess.

Funny, since yesterday morning the sound on FNC and FBC has been mute. I have 128 channels on my box from my provider and two channels out of all of them have no audio...

it started around the time they ran roger ailes and o'reilly off on BS trumped up he said she said unproven allegations.

the super liberal soros loving murdock kids are now running the show and they are very quickly becoming more liberal then even MSMNBC

im amazed people are still being surprised by this fact but fox is no longer a right wing conservative network and they havent been one for years.

as mentioned, other then the night time talk shows from 7-10pm they are just a CNN clone as far as what you will see and sunday talk shows other then judge janine or john stossel are unwatchable
