I find myself spending less time watching FoxNews. Brit Hume's program is now the only one I regularly try to catch.

Gee, this op-ed seems to conflict with this report.

Conservative Fox News Channel Up 32% (WOW) In August Ratings As Other Cable News Operations Crash

Yep. It is gone as a reliable source. I can barely tolerate more than a couple of minutes at a time.

Hume's Special Report is by far the best show on FNC, to be sure. Cavuto's show is pretty good too. The rest range from inconsistent (The O'Reilly Factor) to pure garbage (Hannity & Colmes).

My thoughts, exactly. I would not be upset if the FoxNews Programming Director or Peter Chernin showed up on the side of a milk carton, as some other erstwhile notables have:

AMEN to every word. I have been saying this for along time. Except for the top of the hour news, a find myself avoiding FOX because of their obsession crime cases. And I use to be a FOX News junkie. Are you listening Hannity?

Yep, Brit is the only one I watch now too. I tuned in the other day to see the counter protest, but they couldn't be bothered with it. Their coverage of the hurricane has been laughable.

I don't know what they do with the money they earn, but they sure don't spend it on news.

What ticks me is that the perceived "right-of-center" stance of Fox was bait and switch.

The bait was heady and remained on a long time.....the switch has been more abrupt with liberal step at a time.

I don't like sleight-of-hand perpetrated on me.

To all (not just Mike Bates, sorry, just responding to the thread issue here)...

I noticed that FOX News' website has now changed from a red background to a blue one.

Seriously, I think this reflects a noticable change. About the details, I can only speculate and as to what this means, but the site is certainly displaying other interesting changes.

The Aruba obsessive themes do appear to be a deflection, in my opinion, from other coverage. Otherwise, FOX has viewer opinions that are completely opposite from those written recently by most (other) viewers.

Yup. Exactly my feeling. I change the channel every time I see Aruba or the missing groom from the cruise ship, etc.

Even Kasich's show was all about that nonsense.

FOX has degenerated to a lelel where the Shopping Network and the Food Channel are more interesting.

Sheppard Smith is now competing with Julian Phillips as the BAFFOON of the TV networks!
