For now FBN is still watchable but I suspect it will be every bit as bad as CNBC in the very near future

I stopped! All of it. No shows are ‘on limits’ including Tucker. We must starve the beast.

I stopped watching Fux when I heard Paul Ryano was on the board.

Tucker is now ranked #24. Was #1 prior to the election. Keep up the pressure.

Yeah sadly we even won’t watch the good guys. They need to be driven to a new network, and screw Fox.

Watching that pig Stirewalt snorting about their Arizona call, and realizing they turned the presidential election results over to that Trump hating jerk, did it for me.

I wish the Trump family would come out with a site just like the drudge report. Call it something like the Trump Report. He would know of several people that could run a site like that. That would be my first source for news. I believe it would be a big money maker for him too. You can bet it would have a world of followers.

“Sorry, I stopped watching television news over 12 years ago, so I just think you people doing it now are stupid.”

I stopped watching 20 years ago, so perhaps you are also stupid.

I haven’t watched television news in over a decade. Free Republic, and Rush keep me informed.

Da “ good guys” is what pays da bills, not watching them is key.

Tucker did his big expose on Biden corruption. Can’t believe in hindsight that the network let him do it. Did they know ahead of time that the fix was in for Biden? I like Tucker, but will not tune into FOX again. The few left, Jesse, Greg, Jeanine and maybe Dagan need to find a new home. InFocus with Stephanie Hamill on OANN is very good.

Roger Ailes’ leaving was the beginning of the end of Fox News. Took only 4 years. Now the battle between the three will be on who gets the lowest nightly ratings. Fox has already won this once.

Stopped watching tv some years before JR got shot. Missed Miami Vice, Moonlighting, Seinfeld & Friends, The Apprentice, all the reality shows, the talent and dancing shows, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, etc, etc. I read enough online commentary to see where those shows affected popular culture. I hated the women’s chat shows and debate shows where people were allowed to talk over each other. I hated the freak shows disguised as “help” sessions. I also hated the local and national news shows where hosts would make themselves and their personal lives part of the news. I don’t care where they went on their vacations, what size baby they had, their weekend plans or about their favorite food. All I wanted was the news. Then I grew to hate television that was obviously propaganda, whether “news” or entertainment. Guess that makes me an official curmudgeon but I have no patience now for mass media.

Ranked #24 aye? I used to enjoy Tucker, but I will not watch Fox again.

The hiring of Paul Ryano, who has been a disaster throughout his career, was when I started considering whether I should continue to watch Fox. Ryano is loathsome, I lay much of the current situation on him.

Tucker left The Daily Caller and I’ve noticed that it has slipped left, too.

I guess Hannity must be in a panic, not having a TV audience to tell how humble he is and mention himself constantly to must be traumatic.

And dumping Tucker, Sean and Laura will definitely starve the beast (a great way of explaining it). Only conservatives watch them and when we go, Fox is totally reliant on the Rachel Maddow crowd which will never happen.

so true, lol. Hannity is totally full of himself. I love that invites experts on his show and then talks THE ENTIRE TIME. Makes my skin crawl!
