Every Time I See Chris Wallace, I Turn The TV Off...
Once the hysteria over the presidential election recedes, it should be interesting to see what the Fox News Channel’s ratings look like. Online, there is definitely a backlash growing against the disgraced outlet.
What should worry Fox above all is that they appear to have forever lost their core viewers, the people who were once the most loyal.
You never want to lose your base. Once you lose your base, you’re in serious trouble.
The backlash had been brewing for a while but really took off after Chris Wallace’s dreadful and dreadfully biased and dishonest role as moderator in the first presidential debate between President Trump and Joe Biden.
The backlash then went nuclear after Fox News maliciously and erroneously called Arizona for Joe Biden on Tuesday night — a state that is still too close to call.
Fox News has stunk for years, but over the past few months it’s gone beyond stinking to out-and-out betrayal of its loyal viewers, especially with its presidential polls that are not simply incorrect, they are bald-faced lies.
If the ratio on the below tweet from Fox’s Special Report anchor Bret Baier is any indication, the backlash is nearing Defcon 1.
Here are some examples. Take a look for yourself.
On Saturday, all Bret Baier tweeted was “Join me + @marthamaccallum tonight 8pmET on @FoxNews,” and the responses were both brutal and hilarious.

A few years ago, when Roger Ailes left and Rupert Murdoch handed the network over to his kids, the handwriting was on the wall. Murdoch's kids hated everything about the network except for the money it brought in.
ReplyDeleteHasn't everyone noticed that Democrat spokes-droids like Marie Harf and Donna Brazille are both regular employees?
Fox has never said they're a conservative network, they've always just said, "fair and balanced." They won awards for being closer to a 50/50 split than the other networks. The only difference is they just have a few conservative commentators doing their most popular shows. Tucker Carlson has recently had the biggest numbers in cable news history. Do they want to get rid of that?
I dumped FOX about three or four years ago. About four or five years after dumping that online one... started with a D? Whatever. Glad to see you catching up. Breitbard and Zero Hedge, if both are rather weak... those and blogs.
ReplyDeleteI turned off my tv also and it all started with only switching stations whenever, Wallace, Harf, Brazille or Williams opened their mouths. Almost feels like a loss of a family member because of the few shows I really enjoy but cannot tolerate Fox anymore. Plan to cancel my remaining two year membership of FoxNation if possible also.
ReplyDeleteI wish that ALL of the good guys and gals would start their own network. Call it Freedom News. I, for one, would contribute. No bs people like williams, harp, wallace, brazille, etc. Fox would get blown away.
ReplyDeleteFox News is The Drudge report to me. I haven't watched it in years.
