Interesting. Of the five top shows mentioned, I like Bret Baier the best.
We watch a little of the other cable news channels, but do prefer Fox.... but watch a lot of old reruns of some great TV shows from the past.

What Nielsen doesn't show is that the thinking people now get their news online.......Hannity isn't news.....it's where the dumb people go for their kool-ade

there is as much fake news online as anywhere, on both sides. Thinking people are not necessarily on the same page

Maisie, when you said, " Word choice is always good for some chuckles. Did a person " attack " or just " criticize " ? Is it normal staff changes or " chaos " ?
Is the rain " heavy " or " torrential " ? ", I agreed totally.
We have seen that type of hype locally, especially on the weather. We have the major three network local channels here, and each one competes for attention during bad weather...... and the hype gets stronger and louder as the years go by.
Kind of like on cable news and opinion shows.

I dont own a T.V. I like to go for alternative media online, then look at the opposition and filter out the B.S. Plenty to filter

Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.

    Quoting  :

You want the News..
Watch any of the network nighty News programs, or the PBS news hour..
then you can say you watch the news..

This isn't about watching the news.. It's about political entertainment.. and certainly No matter which side you're on Fox News entertains you..
The average age of a Fox viewer is 68... and 99% white.. so that too.. means people over 68 and White are simply more honest, and understand the News better?

Viewership as it relates to honesty and facts .. you got to be kidding..

Watching Fox News is the same as watching Saturday Night Live..just the opposite perspective.. So Saturday Night Live then is just as factual as Fox NEWS. The irony of course is they both presentt versions of the news..but Saturdays Night Live. doesn't presume to call it News..

Personalities and viewership.. well, we might as well elect Roseanne as the next President.

There is a difference in what certain people call entertainment and news..
People watch CNN and MSNBC because it's all about TRump.. they want to know about Trump.. Facts, become secondary, they just want to hear about Trump
Fox news has a much broader thinking audience.. they don't want to hear about Trump.. they want to hear about those who oppose Trump, and what the RIGHT IS doing.. Trump is just a small factor with Fox news.. It's about what surrounds Trump. People on the Right created Fox news.. It's viewership and it's content.

None of those NEWS networks tell the whole Truth.. You got to figure out what the truth is..

I have watched them all.. and my conclusion is.. Almost all the other network news is negative toward Trump, and really not so negative to everything else... while Fox News is negative toward everything else.

My conclusion is.. just like here..... negativity is the "entertainment" we seek.. Yet a single subject can get awful boring..Fox news is Never boring, like the other networks. It's entertainment .. NOT News

All you have to do to understand what I am saying is look at the personalities on each channel.
It's obvious to me.. that most personalities on Fox News are just that personalities.. they aren't NEWS people..
From the time I have watched it.. No person ...who has come across as a news person. has been able to stay there. Megan Kelly, was one that comes to mind.. Megan Kelly acted like a news person. so she just didn't fit... a FOX NEWS "personality"
I have no doubt and I have seen it. with personalities like... Bill O'Reily and Brett Baier, how they have a different kind of personality when the camera's are off..It's like they become actors when the cameras are on...They all do it at Fox news,to a certain extent, I don't see that with the other network news people.. In fact most are just the opposite.. Their personality is created off camera, not on. I am not blind...there are some like Rachel Maddow of MSNBC who have created a news persona.. The irony about that . is she too is one of the most watched..

Hannity got paid to say you're not a Patriot if you oppose the George W Bush stupidity in Iraq.

Hannity got paid to say that gazillions of Canadians come to the US because they would rather pay for Healthcare here than get it for free at home.

Hannity got paid to say Hillary Clinton will be in jail because of emails.

Hannity got paid to say Globalists will be closing up shop in China because they want to pay more for labor in the USA.

Hannity is no journalist that's for sure

See this is why you bother me..You say one thing but do something else..

"Their viewers know the difference. And I know the difference"

If you know the difference.. why do you pretend it doesn't exist?.

"One thing about Hannity, he uncovered bias and corruption in the DOJ and FBI over the Clinton investigation long before anyone else was talking about it."

This is what you do.. You either believe it or you are pretending.. either way it bothers me.. Hannity's speculation.. becomes the news.. The news, that in the realm of fake news.. identifies itself... The Washington post.. uncovers stuff about Trump Russian connection..That ends up having much more credence than the overall statement of the corruption of the DOJ and FBI, that Hannity made.
The degree of actual evidence... that requires opinion to become actual news. For YOU it only conforms to agreement .. NOT evidence.
Same with all your FOX news personalities and opinion makers.. Their OPINIONS become the news..because people who watch them agree with them, not because the evidence says so.
This blog is about the news worthiness of FOX News... The viewership, rating and honesty.....That somehow FOX NEWS is a more worthy News outlet.. I disagree.
Not saying I would argue FOX news is worse than others... Just arguing Fox News is certainly NO BETTER.

"Can normal humans live in California? No, says Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who derided the state on his show Thursday as a third world style dystopia dominated by illegal aliens and “tech oligarchs.”

“44 percent of Californians now do not speak English at home. The state no longer has a common language or a common culture, it’s infrastructure is collapsing, debt is out of control, schools are unusable, public spaces are filthy. The middle class is fleeing California for all those reasons. Normal people can’t live there anymore,” Carlson said"


You go ahead and call this NEWS... Call it an opinion on the news.. Call it whatever you want to.. but I call it. propaganda, hate, and divisive.

I particular don't like it when Leaf uses Iowa, but there is a difference.. First Leaf is not on Television.. Leaf is not on the news..and more important.. I can tell that to leaf... Iowa is not a State but a metaphor.

Tucker Carlson... Is LYING....feeding the propaganda about California, not as a metaphor.. it's specific.. to California......which Ironically is the most diverse State in the Union.
Nothing in California applies to the State as a whole...Yet we are to believe Tucker Carlson?
Well, you know what .. Some people believe the lie, the fake news, , and I believe YOU are one of them...

JC, please calm down. Your rambling and argumentative posts make you appear unbalanced, and I 'm sure that upsets you even more when people call you that.
If certain TV programs or blogs upset you so much, just avoid them. It really is that simple. Find something else to occupy your time and mind, something that is more calming to you and that you enjoy doing.
Life is too short to spend it in conflict with others when it isn't necessary.

Tucker Carson is a boot licker from San Francisco.

Californians can't afford to live in San Francisco. What happens in San Francisco is about as meaningful as what happens in Las Vegas.

First off I don't have a problem hearing a foreign language spoken .. that's just me.

Regarding California's so called problem ... California feeds the world, and we do a fine job of it. California would be a desert without irrigation ... do ya think Tucker Carson's relatives know how to use a shovel? Please note I said "know how to use a shovel", because I don't think they do. We know who does the work here on the farms and cattle ranches. Many of us don't have a "problem" showing a little bit of respect to people who do the work here. It's just about that simple.

Immigration reform in needed and Trump does what's important to Trump .. like a big fat tax break for himself.
