Drifting???

The only Conservative hosts left are Sean Hannity and Greg Gutfeld.

And I can't stand watching Hannity anymore.

"The Five" has a mostly Conservative panel but I can't stomach Bob Beckel or whichever America-hating, Left-Wing Commie sits in for him.

So Red Eye is the only show on FOX I watch anymore.

Although I do DVR O'Buttface on Wednesdays just so I can FF to The Miller Time segment.

FOX is definitely drifting leftward and is hiring more and more lefttards, like Williams, Rivero, Bekle, etc. Even Greta is starting to argue pro-lefty at times.

I've been over Beck for a long time...even before he left FOX.

I'm with you on that one. I simply cannot watch this guy's condescending sneer whenever someone disagrees with him. He and Alan Colmes, both have that look on their face whenever they speak.

I started seeing a change (a real change) about 1-2 years ago in the different "commentators" that they bring on the panels that they have. I sometimes find myself asking the t.v. who these people are, when I get to the panel on Bret Baiers show. I find that more and more I am tuning into FoxBusiness channel; but, even there you have to put up with some idiots. And why does Monica Crowley always have to have a "date" whenever she appears. And that guy is always some insufferable lefty.

Beck on now, trashing Gingrich at a hundred miles an hour, and defending Romney’s “self-deportation”.

Fox News is a dot com, not a dot org.

As with any buisness, the only thing that matters is the $$.

Ever since Axelrod had his “conversation” with Roger Ailes a couple of years ago.

"You can tell how far left they have moved, when one of the least leftist shows is The O’Reilly Factor."

LOL!! true. And I do not believe Fox is officially abandoning a 'conservative' stance. It's what has made them all rich. It is clear who is for Mitt though. Less clear is who is for Newt.

Hannity is unlistenable. He repeats himself too much.

Sadly, I too have stopped watching Sean Hannity. In regards to his radio show, starting next week I will only post on Monday and do a whole week posting with pinging the thread each new day because there has been a lost of interest in that thread. Hannity has gotten too soft.

FOX has been leftwing for quite a while. Look at how Mitt Romney is never criticized.

FOX has shifted Republicans to the left.

I agree it's moved Leftward, for some time now. I'm not sure Beck was fired though. I thought he left on his own to start a bigger business.

Still, what does the democrats and other liberals say about Fox News?

They sure keep the pressure on that “Faux News” is right-wing and biased. I think this causes Fox to tilt Leftward in response.

Numerous liberals have said to me Fox is biased. I bring up they have liberals on, too. Usually the response focuses on Alan Colmes and how he is an idiot and doesn't represent them well at all. I then bring up Whorealdo, Kristen Powers, Bob Betchel, Sheperd Smith, and they usually give me a blank look. That tells me they're just parroting talking points and never actually WATCH Fox News to see for themselves if it is biased.

Only the left fringe would have ever considered Fox conservative.

Fox was balanced, down the middle, but we’ve spent so long with a left bias media, the middle ends up looking conservative.

Fox always “drifts” leftward at election time.

As of late Shep Smith has definitely moved left and the 6'4” Fox Leprechaun is a close second.
