Fox News Ratings Plunge (Ailes Reaping What He Sowed)
Newser ^ | December 1, 2011 | Mark Russell

Fox News is still leading the cable news ratings race—but for how long? Fox's overall ratings for November dropped 13% compared to the same month last year, reports Mediabistro.

I do not watch it like I once did but I do watch Bret Baier and O’Reilly some . I think Bret tries to be impartial but his guest in discussion appear to be Romney and I have no doubt O’Reilly skilfully pushes Romney!

All the news stations seem to be tanking. My bet is, in addition to what you pointed out, people in general are sick of the news.

Who better than Bob Beckel to illustrate the idiocy of liberalism to the FOX audience.

Too bad Ailes didn't get Al Sharpton before he signed up with MSNBC.

These liberals do fine when they are surrounded by friends, but look like the fools they are when debating knowledgeable Conservatives.

“They really need to replace Grinchin”

I'm guessing you're a female. Gretchen is fetchin’. They can get rid of Doofy and KillMe. I watch just to see how Gretchen fits into her outfits. She's conservative, attractive, and informed. What's not to like? (unless you are jealous)

Don’t forget “The Five” being harder to endure than a root canal.

I am a female and I am not jealous of Grinchin. I could find it easy to be jealous of gorgeous Megyn Kelly though.

Except that I think she is a great gal, so I like her.

Grinchin even turns the husband off at my house. LOL

I've noticed when I have Fox on I find myself asking "Wow, with all the stuff going on in the world this is what they waste transponder time on?". Happens so often it's to the point where I rarely actually watch anything on Fox News outside of Brett Baeir anymore. Fox has become the same old manufactured newz as the rest of the alphabet networks with a big dose of bashing the Conservative of the day thrown in for good measure. There's also only so much ra-ra-Romney I can stomach.....

Fox is the “Missing White Girl Channel.”

Ignore this brain freeze part of my post to you(”Odd screen name too. TexasCajun but lives in Maryland”). Need more coffee, obviously. I was checking timberrattler’s past posting and got his name confused with yours. Sorry.

And yes, I agree with what you said. There is no perfect conservative candidate. One thing for sure, there is not a conservative bone in Barry Soetoro the Kenyan Marxist’s frail little gay body so any one of the candidates is more conservative than him, even lefties Hunstman and Romney. However, I would never vote for those 2 nor would I vote for Ron Paul in the primary. My first choice decided not to run.

I don’t like to settle for less conservative but between a conservative and a hard core Marxist it’s a fairly easy choice for me.

I will vote for the most conservative candidate that has the best chance to beat the red diaper baby in there now.

A friend who works at Heritage ended up on the elevator with Beckel who bloviated non stop about how long he has been sober. Beckel didn’t know him.

I agree that he doesn’t know what he is talking about. He just spews liberal nonsense.

Greg Gutfield must have been thrilled when he had to reach in and extract a shrimp from this choking buffoon’s throat at lunch. LOL.

During the day, I’ve switched to Fox Business when I want something to listen to. At night, we no longer watch any Fox News programs.

Yeah, I know...and they block streaming sites at work and I can’t get it; so what I used to be able to listen to on a daily basis, on the radio, is now gone.

Sucks, to say the least...At least Rush is still on at noon, though...

While I am at it what on earth does Dana Perino have to contribute to any conversation ?

EXCELLENT QUESTION! What a bizarre little RINO she is....

Fox is almost unwatchable, all advertising all the time.

I haven’t watched FNC since Beck left...used to watch Hannity if Governor Palin was on, but I don’t even bother watching her anymore...

You forgot their short skirted implant bimbo effort. It was refreshing to see Bachman in sharp contrast. Like a lady, she was certain her skirt provided modesty. I quit watching fox regularly when gb left.

He just spews liberal nonsense.

Half the time he acts like he doesn't believe it!

Yes people are sick to death of the news period. It is either the DNC or Fox with the GOP and people hate both parties. Newt will never win the election, simply because of the media. If they keep it up everyone will just set it out again. John Mccain would be about the same as Newt. Keep it up Fox and you will continue to loose viewers, you will loose the election also.
