    I implore all conservatives and independents to BOYCOTT all other stations and websites that are obviously just FAKE NEWS outlets which have but one goal in mind and that is to destroy Trump at all cost. <Rule 2/3> And all this while the crap keeps hitting the fan almost daily with reports about crimes committed by Hillary and others from the Obama administration. Case and point is the newest article regarding the murder of Seth Rich. For those who don't know, he was a DNC staffer that was shot several times in the back in an influential Wash DC neighborhood. Even though nothing was reportedly taken from his body, they claimed it was a probable robbery and swept all evidence under the rug.

    But regardless of whatever facts are found, the DNC's despicable media minions ignore crimes of the left which there is sufficient evidence to support an investigation, and instead focus on Trump always claiming they'd received alleged information from an "Anonymous Source".

    So as a true patriotic American I am trying to do my part. Since the election I've stopped watching all TV shows and haven't bought one movie ticket which involves actors or networks who have been outspoken against Trump. And that list also includes not purchasing products from manufacturers or buying music from artists who do the same.

    Make no mistake there is a war being fought on American soil right now. Universities and schools are even brainwashing our kids to side with their insane leftist views. Those who have really been paying attention know the situation has reached Defcon status and if left unchecked, it will destroy the nation soon turning our country into another Venezuela.

    It's not patriotic to join a cult of personality centered around an elected official.

    Totally expected.

    Once Fox got rid of the serial sexual harassers, they lost their audience.

    Fox has NEVER dealt in "Truth".

    The way some at their network pushed the MORONIC Seth Rich Conspiracy was a disgrace.

    If you're depending on cable news for facts, you're just as much a problem as "fake news".

    FOX made a terrible mistake getting rid of O'Reilly. It was common for people to start by watching O'Reilly and then sticking around for Hannity and then maybe just leaving the TV on.

    I think it is wonderful. Now the whiny leftie/socialists can never say the majority of people get their news from FOX. Let their complaining cease.

    If they are dropping in the ratings that means less people are watching FOX. The leftie/socialists should be happy and shut up.

    O'Reilly was definitely the best cable news show on TV, I barely ever watch FOX anymore when I am home so am relegated to a few shows on Sirius when driving.

    Firing him was a bad idea, if you type in "Chris Matthews Sexual Harrasment" there are plenty of things up there but Chris is still employed.

    I just think things like that get so overblown that if you type in anybodies name something will come up. I loved Bill's way of running the show as well as his no BS way of doing things. It was very refreshing after having so many years of extremely far left commentators running one single narrative.

    He would always give the other person room to speak the other side of the argument, whether he agreed with it or not.

    While more right leaning than I am, he was easily the most fair person available as to TV news personalities. The Maddows and Hannities are now all that's left.

    I tried to read one of his books one time. He seemed like an arrogant ****** to me. Never watched his show or the garbage on MSNBC for that matter. For news, I almost fully rely on the Associated Press website and NPR hourly newscasts. Both of which are the gold standards to my way of thinking.

    Sometimes with buyers remorse, folks look for someone to blame for the fact they bought the lemon. Sometimes they blame the used car salesman who was pimping the deal. .

    IMO in any case where several favorite announcers are let go and a channel is reorienting itself quite a few regular viewers would take a walk.

    FOX News is a misnomer. It's FOX Propaganda Network, and doesn't deserve to be in the news ratings.

    They never claimed to be reporters. Fox people call themselves "news analysts".. and you should see their newest nincompoop.

    They are all corporate propaganda networks, but submission beta personalities easily manipulated instead can only see that the masters they submit to are god-like perfect masters and those who disagree are evil heathens. Most people need a god and prophets of their god(s) telling them what to think, feel and do. For some it is a religious preacher or priest. For others it is the actors hired by the elite rich and international corporations as propaganda talking heads preaching at them on TV.

    Absolutely.

    Fox "News" is just "entertainment" (like WWE Wrestling).

    Nobody takes Fox "News" seriously.

    FOX is paying the price for letting the PC crowd, including the corporate globalists, dictate their programming. Bill O'Reilly was the highest watched on cable news - by far. He was the centrix of Fox. But FOX fired him because it was demanded they do so to be PC, despite O'Reilly never having been found to have done anything unlawful even civilly. Fox let their competitors tell them how to do their business and the left organized a temper-tantrum temporary advertisers boycott. Those advertisers would have been replaced soon enough.

    Only fools ever allow their adversaries tell them what to do, and with the change in leadership at Fox that is exactly what they did. NO regular FOX viewer is glad O'Reilly is gone. The ****** Waters is no replacement, he's just a snotty creep.

    Fox always had a lowbrow audience. Even if their ratings go down I doubt their audience will change.
