What's up with Fox News? Somethings amiss. They are going soft!

Posted on 11/02/2008 9:04:12 PM PST by rfmad

Starting about 3 weeks ago it seems Fox has started moving ever so slightly to the left. I don't know if they are afraid of the Fairness Doctrine or what but, other than Hannity, they all seemed resigned to Obama winning. Even Britt Hume's crowd has gone soft. I'm mad as hell about it! Anyone else notice this?

I thought Dreyfus was great at pretending he was an expert on sharks. He isn’t very good, however, at pretending he is an expert on national and international politics.

“ON THE OTHER HAND, has anyone else noticed that Greta Von Sustren seems to have gone from a fairly closeted liberal to some kind of, well maybe not rightwinger, but battler for fair treatment of conservatives?
She is a PUMA.”

I HAVE noticed that!!!

yes, I like Greta more and more these days.

Darn, I haven’t watched FN in almost two years now. Haven’t missed anything, my news comes from FR and other conservative sites, talk radio. No TV in our house during the daytime either, local TV? Nah, same crap, I found a couple of internet sites for local stuff so we’re good.

Anybody else? Interesting reading how many are like us on this matter!

Maybe Shep has a crush on The One.

I'm pulling on my tinfoil hat thinking more global elite concept here. Follow the line in the sand to Murdock (did I even spell that right - sorry, it's late). It's not like Mr. International Purveyor of Smut Murdock (sp? It's just escaping me...) is a conservative. He probably just appreciates the ad revenue from Fox, but wants to do his part to elect the guy that's going to bring America to its knees to be pillaged from abroad and at home.

It reminds me of a loser talk radio guy in DC who no longer is on the air -- who pretended to be right of center, independent, but he did his part to depress the conservative vote before the last congressional election, showing his true colors. Remember that? I don't think folks are falling for that bologna this time.

The One's Marxist red slip is showing...

I banned H+C from my set the night in Dec. 2005 when Colmes accused US troops of terrorizing innocent Iraqi families. I gave up on O’Reilly soon after. I never watched Shep. Brit and his panel was the last holdout, but I gave up on them about a year ago.

Now I surf for my news. Power Line, The Fourth Rail, MyWay, LGF, Hot Air, Drudge (who has lost quality, and raised his ratings sharply as a result), Townhall, InstaPundit.

Fox refused to call Ohio for Bush in 2004, just like the rest of them. They also went along with making our color red on every electoral map. They could have stayed with blue for the GOP. They are just like the rest of the media, but a little more palatable and a little less manipulative.

People who think Fox is so darn conservative reminds me of liberals who call McCain a “right winger.”

I agree...I only watch the sci-fi channel now...and maybe sports or the history channel. Oh yeah, southpark too.

Get your news from FR...Fox is filled with RINOs and libs.

O’reilly was crying the other night that he cannot get Mccain or Palin on his show why should they he can’t shut his mouth enough to let them speak, plus Palin been ambushed by the media since day one.Plus I heard that in early voting in Alaska that Palin is getting 100% of the moose vote they want her out of Alaska.

i remember being so mad about this... they wouldn't call it until the other networks called it... what a bunch of cowards... this summer, i began to loathe FNC just as much as the other network news channels...

Yes, I've noticed the exact same thing and mentioned this to my husband yesterday. In fact, before Greta landed the Todd Palin interview, her show was awful. But since that time, her shows have been extremely fair with regard to McCain-Palin (especially Palin), and it has been quite astonishing to hear her defend them from each new ridiculous accusation by the Left.

There has also been a noticeable difference with the Fox & Friends crew over the past two or three weeks. They, too, have become have been quite vocal about defending McCain-Palin and exposing Obama. Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade have always been fairly good about defending conservatives, but they have become even more passionate about it over the past few weeks. Even Gretchen has been participating, which has been very surprising.

If you can tune in to Mark Levin - do it!!!!

Under the Mark Levin Show, you can access audio and get free replays of the shows, including the current daily show, if you give them about an hour to set it up.

I start listening to Rush at noon, then Sean Hannity, then Mark Levin. 8 hours a day, while I’m working on my computer. (From home, of course - I am my own boss, and my boss allows me to listen.)

I agree that they seem to be subdued—Brit Hume has been a disappointment.

“Every time I see Combes all I can think is “I hate that little weasel” and my mind gets stuck.”

I know what you mean, exactly. He makes my skin crawl. I usually tune out when he’s on and keep checking back to catch some Hannity. I love it when the weasel gets his ears boxed by some of the guests. Or when they refuse to let him outshout them.

yes, it was apparent after the third debate which was preceded by Obama calling Fox biased (or something to that effect)...

FOX is partially Saudi owned, and who do you think the Saudis are voting for? Another Muslim.
