It was clear from very early on Megyn Kelly was taking instruction directly from Old Man Rupe.

My only hope for him and Soros is that they both live to see Trump President. At their ages that’s no guarantee.

Maybe. But the real fact is that Fox News is almost uniformly pro-Trump, certainly in any Trump v. Hillary contest.

Surely you jest?

EQAndyBuzz: "The only commentators at Fox who seem to be fair are Hannity, Bolling and KG."

Now you've added Bolling to the previously mentioned Hannity, Judge Jeanine and Kimberly Guilfoyle, as Fox's "good guys".
I'm merely saying the real list is much longer than that, and actually includes the vast majority of major hosts.
Indeed, the obviously "anti-Trump" list is quite short: Smith, Williams, Colmes... and the rest have pretty minor roles.

Remember, there are still a few journalists who go by the old rules of trying to keep their own opinions out of their reporting.
I'd put Baier, van Susteren & some others in that category.

O'Reilly is a whole different subject, not reliably conservative, but certainly not anti-Trump or pro-Hillary.

Who the hell cares what state you come from? It's "where you're coming from" perspective-wise that gives you away.

Trump supporters know Fox is pedal-to-the-metal anti-Trump, never-trump, "Trump has no chance."

It's the LEFT that constantly, consistently, and ALWAYS sneers that Fox is 24/7 pro-Trump.

Which is what you posted.

"Surely you jest?"

He apparently still believes Cruz is a real "conservative" so he probably really believes the crap he's been spewing in every comment he's made on this thread.

Then you must be watching some other Fox News Network. The one I watch is obviously pro-Trump from early morning to late-night. None -- zero, zip, nada -- are clearly pro-Hillary.

And now we know why Hillary is still a viable candidate.

I don’t think Trump should do these debates. If there is going to be so much bias, no point in having them. It’s just an opportunity for the media trying to gang up on the one they don’t like.

amihow: "With all due respect to you BroJoek, Cruz may be a social conservative as am I, and he was my first choice. But as I learned about his globalism..."

Jesus told us that only God is holy, so I don't expect holiness from my politicians, even the best of them.
But at the time, Cruz did seem to me the best of them, and I was not alone.
Sean Hannity has been mentioned favorably here often, and he gave Cruz a more than fair hearing, imho.

Trump is not as conservative as I'd like, but if he can get more working-class people to switch from Dems to the good-guys, I'd give him credit for a lot.
Then we could add to the old "Reagan Democrats" new "Trump Democrats" and they could counteract the millions of illegal aliens, ex-cons & dead people voting for Hillary.

Are you serious?!?   Pennsylvania went for Barack Obama in both 2008 and 2012.

Windflier: "Ted Cruz has proved beyond a shadow of doubt that he is neither genuine, nor conservative.
Please don’t make me explain the evidence for the umpteenth time."

Do I take it then, you agree with Trump that Cruz's father helped assassinate JFK?

Sorry, but the facts in evidence during the primaries did not include suggestions that Cruz was not really as conservative as he pretended.
In fact, to all appearances and from many wise-guy commentators, Cruz was the most conservative candidate running, which is why I voted for him.

Now comes the debunking... fine, but its irrelevant today, since Trump is our candidate and we will win or lose with him, regardless of Cruz or anybody else.
I'm fine with Trump and sorry to hear that Cruz may not have been the straight-shooter we were once told.

I don’t trust Bolling. He is a finger-in-the-wind kind of guy, if you know what I mean.

Jaun Williams manhandles Bolling on the five while he helplessly allows it. All the biggies have been on vacation this week so it is almost watchable again.

The first debate removed all doubt as to whether FNC was conservative or not. I suspect all their field reporters voted for Obama and more than half their stars did as well.

Cruz lost, get over it, you sound a lot like Beck and Levin.

I bet Ailes got fired and defamed because he was insufficiently anti-Trump.

Parley Baer: "Most of Fox has at the least a RINO bend to it if not more to the left."

"RINO" like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
The Republican party has always been constitutionally, socially & national defense conservatives but never "radical" in the sense of wanting drastic changes immediately.
That's what they mean by "big tent", and without it we'd be a very small minority indeed.
I doubt if one in a hundred US voters is as conservative as I am, or doubtless as you are, but even together, you and I cannot make a majority in my township, much less in the country.

The Fox News motto is "Fair & Balanced" for a pretty good reason, imho.
They have to present enough opinions to get an audience of more than just you & me.
I don't begrudge them that, and do appreciate that usually our side gets the better of their debates.

I agree it backfired.

For me at least, the moment when Trump said “Only Rosie O’Donnel”, I knew I was watching history in the making. I became a trump fan at that moment.

It showed he can and will stick up for himself, and for us. And he will win. And it will be entertaining to boot.

I’m 64, so the next 8, 12, 16 years are important to me. I felt good about the world from 1980 to 1988 because RR was President. Since then it feels like down hill. I know it’s not about me - just saying I want one more chance to feel like the nation and the world are being led by people I can admire.
