There is clearly a hunger and a market for honest news and honest conservative news - and it is clearly not FOX
with apologies to Ted Knight - Find O'Reilly:

Despite their best efforts, their guy lost three states in a row last night and one which he carried in 2008 with 60 percent of the vote. The 42 point lead he had in CO translated in to a 5 point loss. If you’re that sick of Fox News, turn the TV off and find some other news alternative out there. I gave up on Fox News a long time ago and I haven’t looked back. The experience is liberating. Fox News dumbs down the news in general. They make Russia Today (RT) seem credible by comparison.
CNN has better coverage most of the time anyway. We all know they are biased; so you just have to ignore part of what they say.
Or better yet, just don't watch television at all. FR has much better information than any television network.
I am constantly amazed that there are still freepers who have not seen through Fox News. They are in the business to make money, and they do so by being the only relatively conservative news source. That said, they are otherwise CRAP. The Katrina fiasco showed me that. I dont watch them unless I have to.. Honestly, I prefer CNN. At least it is well done propaganda, and when it comes to some stories, like about science, it is far superior to Faux (yes, I said it) News.
I turned off ALL televised news 5 years ago.......with the exception of Geraldo and Anderson Cooper if they are out covering a hurricane......THAT’s entertainment!
Me too. These ass hats jumped on the Mitt bandwagon because they felt they wanted to be on the winning side. These nitwits are in for a rude awaking.
However, I emailed Fox News to tell them I would quit watching them after they hired Whorealdo.
I received a very nice reply telling me how wonderful it was to have Whorealdo and that they did not need me.
I now only watch local news from the Fox affiliate and for election coverage watch CNN with the sound off.
When Willard fails to get the nomination, Fox will be up the creek. They have been cheerleading so shamelessly for him that it will make them look silly to jump on the bandwagon for someone else.
Conservatives thought Roger Ailes was smarter than this.
I think you nailed it, Elle Bee. There is a hunger amongst Conservatives that isn’t being filled by Faux News anymore.
And it’s not just cuz they have gone left.
It’s because they are predictable and boring. Roger and Co. are catering to an audience that are not as savvy as we are: the go along. get along GOP/moderate/linguine spined independents?
Too many ads that are gut wrenchingly annoying.
One of the Mittens voters from a nursing home in Fla. said that decided to vote for him because the nice commentators on Fox seemed to like him..so that was good enough for her.
My recent top five list of nails on a blackboard FNC pundits:
1. Rove; duh
2. Dana: dumb as a box o’
3. Kirsten P.: “
4. Bret B.: a beaming Democrat who pretends he’s not.
5. Hume: Brit, we thought we knew ye. WTH?
Please add your own. No Dems like Colmes or Beckel. We already know who they are.
We are weary of this primary season and Fox is letting us down and not providing comfort for our addled brains.
Thus, I rec. that you try weaning yourself from the vacant station by either watching only certain shows(Greta, Cavuto) or go cold turkey like I did.
I’m Faux Free and Proud to Be.
It’s very refreshing to have replaced my “white noise”
with Josh Groban and my old John Denver CDs.
Recommendations:
News and political, Fox Business, Free Republic.
Conservative talk show: Levin.
It seems that many on FR want to talk about anything but the Winner,Rick Santorum.
I’ll resume my old tv habit when Free Republic branches out into its own station. May it come.
The Fox news coverage was nothing less than substandard and, incredibly, more biased toward Romney.
I stopped watching Fox news. I ended up screaming at the TV and cursing F YOU! F YOU!
And its only Feb!
The last couple of years I’ve gotten most of my television news from Fox Business and CNBC. Of course I’d seen folks here on FR complaining about FNC, but I hadn’t seen it until this morning. The pro-Romney bias there is disgraceful.
You forgot Hannity. I saw Shemp on tv last night. He doesn’t look well.
Utterly and completely. I had to turn the channel last night to CNN to get HONEST information coming in during Colorado results....then I find out, 15 MINUTES AFTER the Colorado GOP Head called it for Santorum (on CNN)....Faux News finally gave in and announced the win for him. Up until then (while I was watching Faux News), all I kept hearing them say was the wins for Santorum were nothing but "beauty contests".
Faux News makes me SICK.
I cannot stand Falafel Boy. I actually try sometimes, especially on fox news satellite in the car, where you don’t have to see him. Nope. Still can’t keep it on for two straight minutes.
I used to watch FOX all the time for the last 15 years. Since all this crap started I limit myself to about 20 minutes total for the day. I’ve discovered all kinds of interesting shows like, ‘Swamp People’, ‘My Redneck Vacation’, ‘Operation Repo’ ,’Pawn Stars’ and about anything on the NATGEO or HGTV channel. I’ve found out that I sleep better when I no longer hear Mitt for Brains name every 10 minutes.
A funny thing happened to Mitt Romney on the way to his coronation...
