CABLE RACE: FOXNEWS ROCKETS BACK TO TOP AFTER CONVENTIONS...
Drudge link ^

I wonder when it'll sink in at Fox that Megyn Kelly was successfully boycotted.

It made perfect sense for Fox to nose-dive during the Democrat convention. Democrats don’t like Fox and Republicans generally wouldn’t watch the Democrat convention.

Having said that, I rarely watch any longer. Sometimes I watch Hannity, but that’s about it.

Fox is increasingly spinning for Hillary, starting after Ailes had resigned.

Because Fox News had been such a help to Trump, the left, with the help of Gretchen Carlson (after she waited for years and was contacted by the Hillary people to file a law suit),began a campaign to get rid of Roger because he was a horny old man who had become politically incorrect, hoping to have Fox News turn into a Hillary supporting network.They got to Ailes through his weaknesses and disposed of him.

Now the Dems have succeeded. Fair and balanced will be no more as we get further into the Hilolita campaign. Notice all of a sudden how Hillary is now appearing on Fox News, when before she would not because Fox news would not accept her verbotin topic lists? Now Fox accepts that list and submits a pre arranged list of questions to be asked so Hillary can prepare ahead of time and rehearse, as Hillary demands?

Murdoch is not hiring another Republican to navigate and manage Fox News.Ailes position has been left vacant.

Fox can shoot to the top of the ratings, but I am finding that I watch them less and less. Their weekend commentators are all in for the Dems, that’s clear.

Megan Kelly? Shes a feminist lefty dressed in “professional “ clothing, and Trump called it right.

With Ailes gone,the back room girls won’t have to worry about being pinched in the a$$, but consequently Fox News is about to start its tanking decent into leftdom, joining the array of news services that , like a gathering of penguins, all shake their heads and make the same noise, in support of the Left.

Not only that, what happened to Ailes happens all over the country. If one is an obstacle to the left, the left will dig deep into one’s personal peccadilloes, find a complainant and hire a big name lawyer for them, and make them into a scandal to get rid of anyone in their way.That goes for educational institutions, public service institutions, news organizations and political parties.

This has dire consequences for news organizations that support the Right and Patriotic America.

I hope Ailes wins his law suit against Carlson and gets reinstated, but that won’t happen till way after the November election.

Look at Hillary. She HIRED criminal fraud Wasserman Shultz, but you won’t see the Republicans hiring Ailes when they should be supporting him.

-- If your a Trump Supporter it's impossible to watch CNN, They don't even pretend anymore ... --

Well, I'll be the exception that proves the rule. But then, I don;t watch CNN for facts, I watch it because I am (at least temporarily) intrigued by "how" brazen lies are promoted. It's not even subtle! Make things up, omit context, discuss fiction as though it is fact, talk over dissent.

It saddens me that I’ve contributed to FOX News’ recent comeback. I have no choice but to watch them (not Kelly though) because Dishnet removed NewsMax TV and has never offered OANN.

I used to be a regular Fox viewer, frustrated as I was with some of the same things that are bothering y’all. Then, one bright morning, I realized that I get all the news right here, more quickly and with less bias than on Fox. I only watch for live stories of certain things that I want to see. End of story.

“Turn them ALL off. It is easy ... and refreshing ... and enlightening.”.........

I only watched the RNC convention on CSPAN, wouldn’t lower myself to watch the DNC “Circus of fools”. Therefor, I watched CSPAN, the only station without a bunch of talking heads trying to tell me what my eyes have seen and my ears have heard. I can judge for myself, I DO NOT need someone to tell me. Watching the biased news stations only serves to remind me why I hate the media.

Your link says just the opposite, that she is a very close second to Ted Baxter.

If you have an new Apple TV box, you can purchase OANN for around $4 per month.

From the sounds of your post, in other words you have probably given Fox a grade of maybe 32% out of 100%. Sounds about right. Since all the others rate a ZERO in my humble book. I have got where I don’t even watch Fox any longer. Every stinking one of them is a propaganda network anyway. Propaganda for the one worlders. So, I don’t watch any of the pukes.

We have AT&T UVerse and they did an excellent job for the convention...they did nothing. They dedicated one channel to the convention with no commentators. Nothing but the pure convention & it was great, needed nothing.

Fox should replace Kelly with Laura Ingraham. The’d have a true conservative, their ratings would rise. She gave one of the best speeches at the GOP convention, got very little notice.

For sure, but with Ailes gone, who knows. They should call Kelly’s bluff and say, sorry you’re free to go. She’s over rated. Her interviews are worthless. When was the last time she had Hillary Clinton on there?

Fox is as bad as CNN/PMSNBC. They try to control the narrative instead of just reporting the facts.
