CNN now only drawing 2.5 million listeners a week. RUSH draws 22 MILLION. Why oh why, have the Anti-American leftists lost their former clout.

All three of the pig three network news commentators received raises. And yet all three of their salaries combined are dwarfed by Rush.s 285 million dollar contract.

How many million more pro-Americans will desert the leftists this year. The more they spread their vile race baiting, class warfare, leftist propaganda, and hatred of democratic principles, the more Americans feel nothing but contempt for the old leftists news axis of evil.

NEVER FORGET

...In -Time of War-...

...The American People won't stand for anything but...

The TRUTH
The whole TRUTH and
Nothing but the TRUTH =

The FoX News Channel.

Now WHY was it, again, that HILLARY RODHAM -&- BILL CLINTON turned down 3 Free Offers to bring OSAMA bin LADEN to an American Jail and Trial for his Terrorist acts against us during the 1990's, thus not nipping the Attacks of Sept. 11th before they could happen...???

NEVER FORGET

Thanks for posting this good news.

All freepers living in areas where their cable providers refuse to provide Fox News should contact Dish for free installation of the satellite receiver and two control boxes. Then you can get Fox News like the rest of us.

That will help Fox News to continue its upward swing and the maggot infested left wing cable nets to continue to drop.

The Gay infested NY Slimes just increased its newstand price for Monday throught Saturday to $1 for each edition.

As these left wing maggot infested phoney news providers continue to lose audiences and subscribers, our choices gain strength.

We were watching TV tonight to check out the local weather storm warnings, and the ABC news was on.
Everything was Bush's fault, no matter what the subject. Even my husband mentioned it later.
I explained to him why the country refers to them and CNN, CBS, and NBC, as "the liberal news networks."
He said he it sure looked like it! He noticed the bias in about 5 minutes!

Just be sure to get the 100 channel package because the 50 channel package does not include Fox News. You can get single channels a la carte now that I think about it.

Really? We're paying for all that other junk for nothing??? (Ever checked out FSTV? Last show I noticed was "Gay in Cuba." LOL!!!)
We got the smaller package, but because it didn't get Fox, we bought the big one - just for Fox.

I went for the 150 channel package which carries Fox news.

You are right that the basic package doesn't carry FoxNews. You have to subscribe to the 100 or the 150. The 150 option had a lot of other channels that we like.

The picture on our 12 year old set is great, and we lose the satellite a few minutes during really bad storms. With cable bad storms could mean hours if not days. Then when a drunk, illegal alien or a drunk illegal aliend took out a utility pole, we might be without cable for a day or days.

I've never heard the liberals whine more about biased news. Things were peachy when CBBS/NBC/ABC/CNN marched to the NY Times drummer. People aren't watching & they are pinging. I love it.

I love Fox News for the balanced coverage, Im finally getting the news pronounced instead of preached. Now if only we can get the Washington Times out to a more national audience. But I gotta say that the morning show is more than I can take, sometimes it is painful to watch.

Im seriously waiting for the day those guys put on clown suits and break out the bicycle horns. When is fox news going to fix that situation, it's embarassing and costs them their ratings because I always end up on cnn in the mornings and I dont like that either.

The DemonRat self destruction continues. The libs have a 95% lock on the news media and they whine about FoxNews and talk radio because they're not batting 1.000. I hope this news of FNC's ratings is giving them peptic ulcers.

What a Happy New Year for Fox News, way to go! They are the only television news that I don't boycott.

I couldn't agree with you more - "painful" is the perfect word to describe Fox & Friends. And it's hard to convince diehard Perky Katie fans or CNBC/Bloomberg TV fans to switch to this annoying morning show, just to turn them onto FNC.

Last year, everytime the Da$$hole opened up his pie hole and uttered his lies and hatred of President Bush, conservatives in the media trashed him and branded him as a low life traitor. Usually within less than a week, he would retract his mantras of hate and slither back into his nest of DNC vipers.

This has never happened to a top Rat before. They could go on tv lie and utter hate talk, and they were immune from their lies and hate talk. Now like Osama Mama Murray has found out, even with the protection of the maggot infested media, she is getting her words used 24/7 to pound her ugly mouth. Wait until the rest of America starts to boycott the corporations which donate $' to this b$tch. Then you will see a real steep learning curve hit the mouths of the Rats.

They have known about this data on Fox News going up in ratings and the maggot infested left wing cable phoney news cables were in free fall.

Add that to their failure to keep the Senate and to regain the house this past November. They knew that their strangle hold on news has been wounded. They can only win when they control the news.

So they will try to build a bogus case of bias to get governmental actions to limit Fox, conservative talk radio shows and maybe even Free Republic. Of course that will not fly with a Republican controlled Congress and president.


ABCNNBCBS news programs and most of their pro gay and left wing sit coms are crashing and burning as people are turning off these pro maggot programs and looking for something else.

So they can have their greatest maggots on these cable and phoney news shows spouting their mantras of hate 24/7, and since no one is watching them, they are having no impact except their lunatic lib base.

On a serious note, no fishing down here with the monsoons and rivers going from 250 cubic feet per second flows to 90,000 or more.
