Hell no.

They will still gloat about where Fox News stands in the Nielsen Ratings ... even after it has been revealed what a low opinion the Fox News opinion show hosts have of their collective viewership. Fox News executives think the people who watch their prime-time shows are white trash, and they are right.

One of the funniest ironies to me is that Fox is in NYC. All of their talking heads love living there and would absolutely hate it if Fox moved to Tulsa or some other "city" where Fox is actually popular. They have no desire to live where they are loved. Same with Trump.

100% true.

When it comes to the people who attend Trump's rallies, what percentage of them could afford to be a member of one of his country clubs? My guess would be less than .1%. Trump is well aware of that reality.

That's who sends in the $ to pay for his criminal defense and buy his hats. As long as they do that, Trump couldn't give a fick who they are or what matters to them.

One key difference is that many people posting in this forum take Fox as gospel, revel in fox's ratings, and have a whole thread where they talk about how "Tucker was on fire tonight."

I have never understood that either. All of these networks are in business for 1 thing and 1 thing only, to make money. They make their money by catering to what their audience wants to hear/see which drives ratings.

Seems as if you've identified a flaw in capitalism.

All of the newstainment networks feed you what you want to hear/see so that you'll keep watching, they are all the same.

To a point, I can agree ... but we don't have the evidence of dichotomy that we have with Fox News hosts now.

They are not all the same as Fox News. This is a common ploy here. It's the "everyone is bad, so everyone is the same" deflection. They might all be bad ... but they are not all as bad as Fox News.

Free speech, as was in my post. Of course other rights were trampled in his show trial, but I was referring to his speech rights.

LOL.

Those Newtown, Connecticut parents were not public figures.

They were also not actors who had been paid by George Soros to carry out "The Sandy Hook Hoax," in order to have the 2nd Amendment repealed, as Alex Jones repeatedly claimed on his podcast.

They were actual parents of children who had been murdered, and then subjected to well-substantiated forms of harassment, as a result of lies which had been disseminated on "InfoWars" by Alex Jones.

Alex Jones was guilty of defamation by any standard.

What the hell is wrong with you?

They're all as bad as FXN. If they're not then that means the other networks talking heads actually believe in the BS they spew and to me that makes them worse.

Many of the host live out of state in regards to living or raising their families- Tennessee, Florida, Texas, Wisconsin and New Jersey. Not sure where the irony is if you watch.

Three basic parts of a lie 1) admit to nothing, 2) blame it on somebody else, and 3) deny everything.

Fox did well until they started questioning themselves in emails. What's more, several within their own organization internally exposed what they really believed to be true vs what they were broadcasting on the air.
The internal emails and the coaching of a production manager to take a fall is what cooked their goose. It was an admission of guilt as they had a fear of getting caught.
It happened, they lied, they misled, they misinformed with intent and Never bother to cover up the internal emails amongst them. They were their own demise as FOX did it for personal gain and ratings.

Sure it is.
I would prefer that "news" corporations consider more than just short term profit when considering what and how to report the news. (and some do much more than others)

And I am more than happy to have a government funded news source that is actually responsible for reporting actual news.

That's ridiculous. Fox News is in a class by themselves.

How are you any different than FP? He boasts about FXN ratings like a Bama fan does football and you defend your networks virtue like a Vandy fan. They're all dirty and in it for the money.

As I said, Fox as a company had to settle. It was the fiscally responsible thing to do.

But that's because Fox as a news organization was so incredibly irresponsible.

The downside for the rest of us is that Fox's slavish audience will not be faced with the unequivocal truth that would have come out of trial: their heroes on Fox are a bunch of money grubbing liars who have never even had the pretense of their best interests at heart. They just wanted their watchers' money.

And secretly laughed at them and at Trump and his team, shaking their heads all the way to the bank at how dumb their audiences are.

But this is known, let's not pretend that journalism, especially TV and network news journalism is a bastion of truth and straight news. There was a slow liberal creep that permeated in newsrooms for decades. It spawned a new network that was very successful, mostly because it was the only one that wasn't a left lean.

Government issued news sure has a long history of being responsible and reporting the truth.

Reminds me of Nick Sandman getting undisclosed settlement by CNN and The Washington Post. Run constant coverage knowing it’s inaccurate based on the footage leading up to the selective editing, don’t retract and move on while dividing and inciting racism at a 16 year olds expense.

Most of the Fox News programs are broadcast from Fox News headquarters, which are located in Midtown Manhattan. They make no secret of this. Fox News viewers are inundated with live shots of 6th Ave. and Rockefeller Center. They definitely are not ashamed to be there.
