| Does Fox News now have an All-Amnesty lineup? Looks like it. Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly have now fallen in line behind World Citizen Rupert Murdoch’s support of ”sweeping, generous immigration reform,” including a “path to citizenship.” Karl Rove was always on board, of course. What about Fox News’ viewers? Are they going to go along like sheep? They now have no network that represents their perspective on what seems to be a key issue for Obama’s second term. Is it time for a new Fox? (Wouldn’t it be time for a new Fox anyway?

Comments: And just who would start this enterprise?? Fox hasn´t gone completely to the dark side, but they are well on their way. Still, they are better than any other cable news channel out there.

The whole discussion about immigration reform is stupid. The time is rapidly approaching when immigrants simply won´t want to come to the U.S. because things won´t be any better than they are where they already live. No jobs, inferior health care, a slum to live in, who wants it?

This is where Glenn Beck was supposed to go!!! The Tea Party rose up with amazing success which I believe to be, in part, to Beck´s support (along with Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann). When his show left the air... the air went out of the Tea Party as a movement.
I knew it was a mistake for him to leave that show and it may have cost us this election with the fracturing of the Tea Party and the scum of America desecrating it at every opportunity.
I pray God now intervenes to save our Republic as the Republicans have dismissed the Tea Party as radicals - there just doesn´t seem to be a viable movement left to combat the socialist who choking out the American way of life now... I´ll simply pray!

Indeed, we are simply "not viable" any longer. The socialist tide floats all boats. And networks. And pundits. Even Rush is left farting in the wind as his audience maxes out. While still a believer, I tune him out after an hour due to suicidal urges setting in. When all around you lose their heads, join in lest you want yours on a stick.

Our entire family and all our friends have turned FOX off for good. The only time I go to FOX is to see the first half of Bret Baier. If he´s followed by a panel that includes Juan Williams, Kirsten Powers, whatever her name is Stoddard, and the other RAT flamers, its tune out time.
Karl Rove has been a light for FOX and the thanks for what he brings is the dung now being dished at him with Ailes´/Murdock´s approval. There is nothing left to watch. We tuned out network years ago, I wouldn´t watch any other cable, listen to Rush daily, and my principle source is the web—I tune in FOX only for event stuff and then often miss it. Even Brit Hume has taken a dive and where he once was a voice to listen to, that´s long gone. Charles Krauthammer is carrying Fox and when they can him, which is likely ahead, that will put the last stone on the pile.
I´ve written to Fox, sent emails. Nothing. Time to tune out? You bet. It´s long overdue.

No matter what the clones on Fox say, there is no way that the Republicans can go along with the liberal Democrats and put all the illegal aliens on a "path to citizenship", if the Republicans did that, they would be committing long-term national suicide.
Nobody knows for sure how many illegal aliens are here now, the liberal media propaganda puts the figure at 11 millions but in reality it could be 20 million people. After being legalized under any sort of a liberal Democrat amnesty the legalized aliens would gain the right to bring their foreign relatives here in the years ahead. That could easily encompass 20 million more aliens in the next decade.
Most illegal aliens are poor low income earners who come from socialist oriented third world countries. Once legalized with US voting rights they would overwhelmingly vote for the liberal Democrats who would promise them all sorts of new rights, benefits and services in turn for their votes. With the liberal Democrats gaining tens of millions of new foreign born voters the Republicans would never again be able to win national elections.
Listen to Marco Rubio who wants to legalize long time illegal aliens by granting them a temporary immigration status without a "path to citizenship" until they individually meet the normal requirements that all legal immigrants must meet to quality for an immigrant visa under current law. The liberal Democrats will never go along with that and lose tens of million of new votes.

Fox an Friends First, is my wake up, feel good, day brighter. Where else can you get the news an look at some of the best legs in TV. (laughing). As far as the Latino problem goes, we need to get them into the GOP Party, if we have any chance of getting back the Presidency. Fox still is the best of the Cable News Outlets. The Libs get a little annoying but their views is a balance.

Hannity is an idiot who not only beats a dead horse, he beats its skeleton, then its dust. He is a one note tune, at best. I came from a very similar backgroud to O´Reilly on Long Island and grew up around the same time. He is a nasty piece of work, as nasty as the Irish can be. I cannot stand him.
Beck was ok, but he did not bring the humor of his radio program to the fox tv stage and lost his audience there.
If any panel has Bill Kristol as the voice of the republicans/conservatives on it, I change the channel.
Face it. With nearly 1/2 the electorate getting money from the feds, the US is lost. No media outlet, no talking heads, nothing can turn that fact around. Vote buying with our own tax dollars (and future tax dollars) has proven to be hugely successful. The dems don´t really need the illegals. They are just window dressing.

I was surfing "TWIT" via my Roku and ran across Leo Laporte´s NMX 2013 Keynote (TWIT Live Specials #148). Leo points out that the new media should quit the push for "eyeballs", which is the game of broadcast and cable mass media. Instead, new media should concentrate on delivering a passionate message to a dedicated "community". More of what a micro-brewery is to Anheuser-Busch.
I thought of FNC as he made his point, and concluded that a similar approach is needed for political media. I´ve always been skeptical about FNC´s "fair and balanced" approach, as it plays the game of seeking eyeballs, rather than addressing a dedicated community of conservative listeners. That skepticism has, unfortunately, been justified.
The Blaze (GBTV) is a start, but resources like Blaze, PJTV, CainTV, InfoWars, and others need to coalesce into a conservative web-network. It needs to avoid some of the mistakes of the old "America´s Voice" and become more polished like FNC. As Laporte points out, it is much cheaper to produce a webcast than a cable-cast or broadcast. Make it available on the new streaming TVs and boxes. Include advertising to keep subscriber cost low - follow the Hulu model.
It can be done. It´s time.
"Forward."

Fox suddenly shifted left when Murdoch got caught hacking into cell phones. After that, Rupert has been trumpeting leftist ideas like amnesty for illegals and now gun control. I haven´t watched since the central planner in the amerikan kremlin (val jarrett) blackmailed him to avoid prosecution here.

Donald Trump might see this as a good investment..Gore had a tv station (it flopped like all things liberal)..now it is our turn. To do it and do it right.

Rhetorical question time (I see that there are still some amnesty fans who post here). When the 10-20 million are given either green cards or full citizenship they become eligible for SS and Medicare plus a bunch of other programs. These programs are regressive only if you have to pay in at a high salary your whole working life - but highly progressive if you work fewer years, and or at a low salary.
That is, amnesty will cost the taxpayers a trillion or so dollars in new SS, Medicare obligations alone.
Again, who should pay for this?

Inch by inch Fox is losing conservative viewers. - I do enjoy The Five - they laugh as well address all manner of issues, and putting Beckel back in his box when needed. Greta´s show is worth watching until she dives into the legal pie filling - she goes into the halls of Congress and isn´t afraid to make them give an account of their wobbliness. #24 ´s idea has merit, otherwise TV media is a wilderness.Thank goodness for the internet, and Miss Lucianne´s forum.

I watch much less of Fox than I used to because I can´t stand the liberal pundits. The "fair and balanced" thing is a con because it should be called "truth and lies". Lies should never be given equal time, even if they are dispelled in the course of the conversation. There is always some loony that will believe them.
O´Reilly is me, me, me. Hannity does beat that horse to dust and then some. I can´t believe they keep Shep on 2 shows, and Megan Kelly lost me on election night when she so perkily announced the reelection of the Poseur.

It´s outrageous that Fox has no competition. It´s success has been a clear sign that a more right-leaning, or heck, just a middle-of-the-road network has a huge market. But where are the bandwagon jumpers?
It´s very disappointing. Competition would keep Fox honest.

The final straw was the addition of Kucinich to the FOX line-up. THAT addition both confirmed & sealed the deal! ...FNC has come undone, just as did CNN before when its journalistic integrity became compromized & mired in the radical statist dems´ agenda. mmm mmm mmm
These days, radio and the web is where, with discernment, reality still can be found. That reality isn´t a pretty picture as the lefties are but pulling America´s Constitution and Bill of Rights out from under Life, Liberty AND The Pursuit of Happiness. It is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

I refuse to watch Mr Williams and Mr Beckel and the rest of the partisan leftists they have brought on board. They don´t even make any sense, much less bring anything worthwhile to the conversation.

Fox committed the cardinal sin. They forgot to "dance with the one who brung ya." The lure of mega-bucks was just too strong.
Then again, almost no one ever does what´s right anymore. Why expect Fox to be any different.
I, too, have sent them many emails, all of which were unanswered and the complaints obviously ignored since nothing ever changed except to go farther and farther to the left.
Just like America, itself, they are being destroyed from within, just like the communists always do it.

I told my 65 year old daughter today that I have never been this afraid for my country in my life. I don´t think it will matter much to me what happens, but I fear for all my grandchildren and great grandchildren.

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move!

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Bloodletting, in the form of firings, dismissals, resignation, and expulsions, is a tribal rite in political Washington. It is most often used by the powerful on anyone less powerful as a symbolic sacrifice. Steven Miller, the now former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, is the latest victim of ritual sacrifice. This week the Obama White House demanded his resignation to demonstrate the president’s “anger” at news that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for added review and slow approval. Next, we’ll watch as Congress takes up the bloodletting knife.

Nice try, Mr. President. Feigning anger, firing an unknown bureaucrat and fleeing the podium won’t cut it with voters, or stop the hemorrhaging of the scandals that have spawned a Watergate-like feel around the Obama administration. There was a certain panicky look about the way the president quickly delivered a rare evening White House statement to try to quell the growing outrage over the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups. The move showed how damaging the scandal has become to Obama’s second term and maybe even his presidency. But Obama took no questions and, more importantly,

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.
