Fox uses John Stossel and Sarah Palin as shills to draw us in so they can lead us to the George W. Bush-Mitt Romney type of Republican.
After the good interviews-commentators we see Karl Rove and company.
Fox News does stories that appeal to conservative viewers you won’t see on other networks, but then leads us to the GOP-E Kool Aid vat.
That's not fair! Newt loves women, lots of them.
Oops, I misread what you posted and got it turned around.
Hate to point this out but it is spring and the weather has even great ratings for all channels always go down when the weather gets nice....

I used to watch FNC, but nowadays I find that more intellectual stimulation can be gained from Chumley on Pawn Stars than from trying to endure all the etchamitt drivel on FNC.
Im sort of glad to see that Sarah Palin will do the “Today” show this Tuesday.
Maybe she realizes that Fox has been using her to draw us in so they can cheerlead for the RINO Establishment.
Palin needs to think beyond Fox News.
I cringed and turned off the TV last week when Shep announced that Zimmerman “gunned down” Trayvon. Shep’s an idiot, and the phrase he used connotes something that probably is not accurate.
Didn’t read the whole thing, the single paragraph is just tooooo long. That said, the writer seems to be blaming it on the Romney bias, but I think it’s more than that. The sliding over to the left in general is the reason I watch it much less often than I once did. If they’d like to regain their audience, I suggest a return to “fair and balanced” IN PRACTICE, not just as a slogan.
My Fox viewing was, pretty much, limited to Hannity and Greta but when Hannity began featuring Willard, almost daily, I stopped watching; besides I got pretty tired of all of that fair and balanced bullsh*t!
It is said that FOX is partly owned by the Saudies.
How much, and how much influence do they exert on the network’s claim of fairness and balance?
“I used to watch FNC, but nowadays I find that more intellectual stimulation can be gained from Chumley on Pawn Stars than from trying to endure all the etchamitt drivel on FNC.”
LOL..Loves me some Pawn Stars.
Yeah, and I am positive that NBC is going to be upstanding regarding Palin. /sarc
Either they will change her or she will be treated poorly.
This will not end well albeit it is just one segment for the moment.
Yep. Their election coverage and breaking news far surpasses FOX.
More often than not, he just sounds whiny to me.
I missed that little attack because I won't watch Shep, and Meghan has been sliding in my opinion, too.
If any network should be calling for a finding of facts and calm until the law has a chance to work (again), you'd think the folks who claimed to be "Fair and Balanced" would be the one.
Summary condemnation of Zimmerman because he isn't black is neither 'fair' nor balanced'.
What happened to "Innocent until proven guilty"?
Moments like that show a network's true colors.
Still, no one has answered the question of "What was that guy doing cruising through what I have read is a gated community after dark, anyway?"
Yes, you are right about CNN—but you do have to keep a barf bag handy for the George Zimmerman coverage. Especially HLN, where they were calling it a “lynching by gun” the other day.
But aren’t you thrilled by Alan Colmes?
Now I know why paragraphs were invented.
So true! The only time I turn CNN on is for election coverage and breaking news - can't stomach them either the rest of the time. Listening to a bunch of pundits does nothing to "inform" me - who cares what a bunch of elitists think? It's just filler.
The irony is that these networks, radio shows, etc - need US more than we need THEM! If we don't watch, they don't make money. We have the power to bring them down, if we stop patronizing them.
They had Laurie on for that Virgin Blue Capt’n story. Still hot.
With Directv, they feedback channels watched and since FNC has turned into Mitt-TV, our TVs are on FNC a whole lot less.
It is amazing the length that Romney botts will go to in order to avoid the dreaded ZOT.
