The deception of Fox News
Personal Opinion | 6/11/2016 | David C. Herbert

Posted on 06/11/2016 11:43:32 AM PDT by DH

Since the dawning of Fox News I have been one of the most loyal watchers. It was the only bastion of factual, actual and truthful news. Until now, it was the only credible source of news whether on the net or on the TV networks. It became my only source of “unfiltered” news other than Free Republic, Drudge and a very few others. As time went by things seemed to change. It took a “sea change” when their “boy” did not get the nod from the American people who were conservative Republican voters and Donald Trump prevailed. Even as Trump was struggling to head the party they put their “media whore” in the position to spew hate and propaganda against him and his “ignorant supporters.” More and more hate of him spewed forth each and every night as I watched Fox news. It has now reached the point that I actually think Fox is an arm of the GOPe, especially when they hold up their “white hope…Romney” as the “man!” Today, I’ve made the decision that us “little, hardworking, law abiding, and honest citizens” have absolutely no news source on cable TV to watch any longer. The political filth simply spews forth and poisons the minds of ignorant watchers who believe they are hearing and seeing the actual truth of what is actually happening. We are in trouble…BIG TROUBLE in this country for thanks to the Republican Party and its biased news in support of the current regime and “business as usual” in the corruption of government, they will implode and along with it bring the election of Hillary and her criminals into absolute power that will forever change our government, freedoms and way of life. It does not matter to the Republican Party since the elite have already made their personal fortunes by screwing the American people and lying in bed with their Wall Street cronies, for they will receive special favors from the Communist Democrat party for their allegiances and destruction of the only candidate who represented the actual people who paid the bills for the government. I’m sick of it and to hell with all in Fox News and other pseudo conservative shills who lie to the populace and hope for favors and “bread” from the incoming tide of liberals and progressives who will end America as we know it….or better yet as we knew it. After “broadsides after broadsides” against Trump and the conservatives of this country, I feel that due to the “dumbing down of America” in our public schools, higher education, the media (both written and broadcast) and the fact that today’s society (those who are now 15 to 45) have absolutely no idea of what life was like in America prior to the 70’s. It simply sickens me to think that thanks of Fox News alone, the free and beautiful way of American life that we used to know will finally end. Thanks Fox News. You will surely regret what you are doing and when it happens, you can’t take it back!

I have a very bad feeling of how all of this is going to turn out. Our public is sorely ignorant of what they will be doing to themselves and history in the far future will paint this election of one of the most flagrant mistakes made by the population of a free country.

I guess the election of Bill Clinton and Obama were brilliant choices made by the American electorate.

my last straw with Fox was the whorado tear fest when he claimed his daughter was in Paris the night of the terror.

i hate that fat rove, BOR and the midget lawyer.

I watch other MSM and know what I am being spoon fed.

Fox will soon die by their own hands.

Once you learn to separate opinion from fact you can learn to appreciate Fox for subjects thst are taboo from the rest. You just need to do some research.

Needs formatting.

Few folks will read a huge jumble of words.

FOX has refused to run the story of the Curiel group boycott of Trump, even though they continue to beat Trump over the head on the issue. This is true of all of them on FOX—not a single mention of this most important matter.

Curiel is a life member of the Hispanic National Bar Association—they initiated a boycott of all Trump businesses on 7/2/15, while the case was pending before the judge. That boycott is still on. And FOX is too in the tank to report it. Shameful.

Sorry about that but I am not an HTML guy and when I used my program to do it things seemed right.

Sorry about that but at least I got it out there.

“absolutely no news source on cable TV to watch any longer”

One America News channel, if you can get it.

Yeah, Roger Ailes and Ruppert Murdock don’t like fellow NY billionaire Donald Trump.

Goes back to the fact that they considered his dad a slum lord I think...

I don't like the call-girl-dress-code all the FoxNews women must follow . . . as they report how they feel.

That is Fox’s main strength..spotlighting issues that are ignored by the MSM. Fox detractors seem to forget that reporting which does not always comport with their world view is hardly evidence of an institutional shift in ideology on the part of Fox....or any news organization for that matter.

I don’t even own a TV. I had a room mate that watched Fox. It was all opinion journalism, which is fine, but unbearably loud. The rest of the networks are total garbage.

I get news from the internet, FR, and back up news video clips with Liveleak. All pretty much uncensored and telling of the “rest of the story” away from censors.
