Total rubbish.
I come from the reddest of the red part of this amazingly red state:

At this point, nasty treatment and bullying against TRUMP is practically becoming a “plus” for him.
It hurts the media hounds, pundits and moderators AND the *neverTrump crowd worse than TRUMP, who seems to rise like the Phoenix above it and overcomes their brutal attempts to collapse his candidacy.
I have not watched Baier, Kelly or Wallace since that first FOX debate. It’s even a disappointment to me that others still do. That debate was the line in the sand for me that our country was lost and we must resist, reject and rebel on behalf of the traditional USA.
“Today I have no problems with any of the analyses from 90% of Fox’s conservative personalities. Sure, Megyn & Chris do nothing for me, but most of the others seem fine.”
The only commentators at Fox who seem to be fair are Hannity, Bolling and KG. I use to listen to Brett Baier and company at 5, but after listening to them for a day or so, I realized that MSNBC is no better but at least they have some personality.
Speaking of Kelly & Wallace, sure.
But Fox does try to be "Fair & Balanced", so I don't begrudge them some obviously liberal voices, like Juan Williams & Alan Colmes, or any number of Hillary spokes-critters they bring on from time-to-time.
And if Trump shoots himself in the foot, they'll all report on it, even such cheer-leaders as Hannity & Judge Jeanine, though from clearly different perspectives.
I can't think of any Fox conservatives who seem to celebrate a Trump misstep the way they do at, say, PMSNBC or the Clinton News Network.
I don’t trust Bolling. He is a finger-in-the-wind kind of guy, if you know what I mean.
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, Dominionism, Corporatism and duplicity, I had to conclude that he was not good on the Conservative basics of this country which sees as part of the Natural Law the Principle of Subsidiarity e.g. that patriotism, loyalty to faith, family and country first rather than huge give aways with trade deals ultimately resulting in a Union of the Americas was the antithesis of Conservatism. Read Kirk.
There is a huge swath of Christians who do not see the danger of power in Globalist hands. I am not one. I hope many social Conservaties begin to understand that. It will ultimately destroy Christianity itself as a facet of influence in the public square
Or rather they don’t intend to let us change a situation where laws are enforced stringently against the middle class and ignored among the illegal subclass.
I’m speaking of hosts. I expect drivel from Williams and Colmes. (Which is sad, because Williams is actually a very smart guy. If he were truly balanced, he’d be a force in the black community. But, they know pandering for a dollar when they see it.)
“...somebody more genuinely conservative, like Ted Cruz...”
Why do some people still regurgitate this debunked fiction?
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.
Total rubbish.
I come from the reddest of the red part of this amazingly red state:
“But the real fact is that Fox News is almost uniformly pro-Trump, certainly in any Trump v. Hillary contest.”
I am not sure that I agree with that. Most of Fox has at the least a RINO bend to it if not more to the left.
What is Murdock’s role now? (I have not followed Fox internals at all.)
There is nothing in this report that contradicts what we saw happening in public since May!
The attacks on Trump at the debates backfired. Faux News was hoisted with their own petard. Trump will throw their snide questions back at them.
In the United States, unlike other countries where "conservative" can mean d*mn near anything, here "conservative" is summarized by two words, "Constitution" and "Bible", not necessarily in that order.
Today many speak of "fiscal conservatives", "social conservatives" and "national defense conservatives" with the idea that it takes at least all three to form a governing majority of voters.
But many of those are only "conservative" relatively speaking compared to the Left's Big Government insanities.
Genuine conservatives who seriously support both the Bible and Constitution are sadly quite few, and far between.
So we can only govern in loose alliances with those other "fiscal", "social" and "national defense" "conservatives".
Trump is beginning to look like the only billionaire I don’t want to puke on. And eff the Koch brothers too.Trump and the billionaires who back him.
Carl Icahn
Andrew Beal
John Paulson
Woody Johnson (owner of NY Jets)
Peter Thiel
Steven Mnuchin (hedge fund manager and Trump's chief fundraiser)
Tom Barrack
...and the other billionaire supporters.

ALL of the moderators are anti-Trumpers... I am looking forward to the vp debate to see how Pence handles sugar Kaine.
I certainly know nothing -- zero, zip, nada -- about Fox internal corporate politics or who is up, who is down & who is heading out the door.
But you've added Guilfoyle, Tucker and Crowley to previous posters' mentions of Hannity and Judge Jeanine.
I could list any number of others who are obviously anti-Hillary and at least Trump-friendly.
That list would begin with the ladies of 5:00 AM Fox & Friends First all of the Fox & Friends hosts and most of the day-time shows.
It clearly does not include Shephard Smith, but even someone like Greta van Susteren, who you might think a bit squishy has been very friendly to Trump on many occasions.
Sure, Fox reports both good & bad and that's good, because what I really, really don't like is having to switch to some other outlet to learn any bad news (and watch them gloat!) about my guys & gals.
Part of the cover.
“The “conservative blog-o-sphere” seems to be part of the problem. A lot of so-called “conservatives” are part of the problem IMO. What is a “conservative” anyway? What is a “liberal”? Well, a liberal is a Leftist, so quit calling Leftists something that has to do with liberty, because they stand opposed to liberty.
What is a “conservative”? Well, that’s a tougher question. There are a lot of “conservatives” who are just what the term implies - lovers and keepers of the status quo - the “establishment” - exactly what the problem is these days. Then you have others, maybe more like myself, who love liberty, hate the status quo, and want to see the status quo and the establishment blown up. That has nothing to do with the meaning of the word “conservative” but has everything to do with the word “freedom.” So I’ve quit calling myself a conservative and I’ve replaced “liberal” with “Leftist”.
So in this case, the so-called “conservative blog-o-sphere” is part of the problem because a lot of so-called “conservatives” are actually establishment hacks who have little interest in liberty and the Constitutional rule of law that demands 80+% of the federal government be dismantled.”
You absolutely nailed it and I agree with you 100%!
I copied and pasted your entire comment because it was worth seeing again in it’s entirety.
Yes it is.
#51 Fox. Brand Value As of May 2016; $11.2 Billion. Industry: Media ... Fox News is in 90 million homes and is the dominant cable news network with the most ...
Its fair to remember that while the listed people are never-trumpsters, much of the rest of fox news is very pro trump. So at least fox has some balance which none of the other networks have.
