I watched the 2020 Republican National Convention on C-Span, largely because the screen is uncluttered with banners and preview windows and they hang around at the end of such events for awhile, particularly when President Trump, Vice-President Mike Pence, or First Lady Melania is the speaker. I would try to turn to Fox for analysis only to see first up the shining visage of a Marie Harf or a Juan Williams, the Democrat who has lately been obsessing about something called “QAnon violence” whatever that is.
Mornings at Fox have not been much better, with the likes former DNC chair Donna Brazile who, on Tuesday morning’s episode, lost it entirely...

Williams disgusts me more each day. Every day on The Five, he'll spout some perversion of the truth or an outright lie, and then have the nerve to put on that dismissive look or the puzzled-dog-tilted-head look when Greg or Jesse call him out. If he had his own show, no one would bother watching.

I was driving in my car when I heard Donna Brazile. She should be removed from Fox permanently. Brian Kilmeade lost control of his interview. Donna refused to let anyone talk and she basically screamed over everyone. IT WAS HORRIBLE. Donna is a disgusting person and liar. Remember when she worked for CNN and gave Hillary all the questions to Hillary's so call town hall?

I'm spending more and more of my news time on Newsmax lately. I wont say its a breath of fresh air, but at least it doesn't smell like a sewer. Fox blew it.

Other than the three opinion shows at night (Tucker, Sean, Laura), I AM DONE WITH FOXNEWS.

I was a FOX regular viewer just a few years ago, but like #4 my viewing is limited to a few hours of late evening. Also, there are a few weekend segments I like to watch. Tried FOX the first evening of the RNC Convention, but got annoyed at all of the comments and cut-aways from the speakers, so I finished the week with C-Span. It looks like the future of conservative viewing will be from the computer-based media sources that are evolving.

Tucker Carlson is my go to guy for commentary. Them rest of the Fox News lineup are annoying with their repetition and long winded questions. As a former fan of Fox News, I find myself turning it on to watch Mr. Carlson and turning it off immediately afterward his show is over. I just do not have the patience for the quirks of some of the other hosts and their leftists commentators who are rude and untruthful. Tucker Carlson has been on top of it and is asking all the right questions and making the most compelling comments.

This article says what all of us have been saying for a long time. FOX has gone Left and we HAVE noticed. I've watched FOX from their beginning. I used to have it on in the house 24/7. Now, I only TRY to watch Fox and Friends. I saw the Donna Brazile meltdown and I blamed the producers for not cutting her off and going to a commercial. I certainly thought her days on this Conservative Station were over, but no, she was back on the next day! When she appears now, I switch to Fox Business. I watch that station more than FOX now. Hubby and I usually like to watch The Five, but when Donna is on, we shut if off!

We hardly watch TV any more. The entertainment shows are so trashy that it is no wonder the world has a messed up idea about America. The "news" shows are nothing more than Trump bashing shows. They are not news. I will watch FOX business on occasion and that is about all. When Katrina hit, it was all the news could talk about. Shep Smith was on the front line lying about what was happening in order to bring down Bush. I haven't seen anyone on the front line about the destruction of Laura. They don't care since Pres. Trump can't be blamed. I do like Tucker and Greg and Laura but that is about all.

I believe Fox can only get washed up Dems to agree to be Fox contributors. If they were not washed up, they would be on another network.

From my perspective FOX is allowing the projection and mendacity of the dims to be displayed. Hatred, racism and class division is the dim party platform which can only be supported by lies. Williams, Brazille, Harf, etc. are examples of what we are up against. ahh must define and know your enemy.in order to defeat them.
And remember that our taxpayer funded Public Broadcasting Corporation fired Juan for being too conservative.

Relax.
'Fair & Balanced' requires that some leftist pukes be allowed to speak and expose their hate filled ignorance.
.....and Tucker is on a roll !

I barely watch Fox except for Tucker and Laura Ingraham it's just Fox Business all day except for Neil Cavoto the only Trump basher in the line up. The fair and balance resembles CNN with the 'crash test dummy' Williams, then Brazile with Harf. No thank you and it's the reason I don't watch the Five.

It's too late. Fox would be nailed as racist if they got rid of Brazil or Williams no matter how annoying they are to other commentators or viewers, or what they do to their ratings.

Don't watch Fox any longer. Cannot stomach any of them except for Lou, Tucker and Hannity. Watched the entire convention on C-Span. Didn't have to suffer the blabber of the commentators telling me what to think.

Yes, it does. I am even seeing Harris Faulkner having to struggle with this. It is coming down from n high.
Bill Hemmer has changed since he took over Shep’s hour. Unwatchable.

Carlson would be the only reason I would tune into Fox News anymore. But, we don't watch any news programs at all. Considering Fox's left-leaning ownership, I am surprised Carlson still has a job there.

Ryan and Murdoch, relentlessly moving the channel to the left. I watch less and less of Fox every day.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Saturday's Journal Report with Paul Gigot and his excellent panel. No shouting or talking over each other, just intelligent, well reasoned discussions.
I'm also surprised that Arthell Neville hasn't taken herself off to a lefty channel. She's barely able to contain her disdain for conservatives.

I am no fan of the lefties on Fox, but I am a fan of hearing from both sides. Whether the jurors are in a courtroom or in the their living rooms, a fundamental element of fairness is allowing both sides in a dispute to talk. Media should not be partial. That is why I do not waste my time on the other networks, which all shamelessly flack for the DNC. Fox is at least somewhat balanced. It could do more. I would give Fox a letter grade of “C+” in that department, but its rivals deserve an “F.” If you expect political loyalty from a news organization, you do not appreciate what news is supposed to be: Fair, balanced and unafraid.

Having democrats on Fox would be fine if the democrats had reasonable counter arguments to make. They don't. They lie and deny facts.
Fox might as well save some money and have recordings of democrat ''talking points'' for hosts to comment on!

Used to watch Fox all day. Now, only Tucker is a must see, and Laura is a will try to see. The rest? Meh!

I just can't watch THE FIVE anymore because of Juan Williams. His whole act and his over the top excuses for the Marxist/Democrat party is just too much to handle. I do believe Juan has lost a few million brain cells if he actually believes most of what he says. Juan better hope Fox keeps this crew separated because of the Chinese virus, because if they ever get back being together again in the studio, I think Greg and Jesse are going to punch him right in the mouth next time he starts mouthing off about Trump and his policies.

I watched C-Span and Fox Business also this week. Out of curiosity, I did flip to Fox after the speech last night, and switched it right back when the first commenter was the useless Chris Wallace criticizing the President's speech. Yesterday, Wallace and Harf the Oblivious were on Outnumbered, which rendered it unwatchable. Bream flinging seemingly endless Democrat talking points is tiresome also. Fox and Friends is still very good, as are Carlson and Ingraham.

Brazile, Harf-Barf and Tarlov were the final straws. I no longer watch Fox at all.

I don't see why they need to have any dems at all. There are two sides, the truth and lies. I don't want to hear lies, so I don't listen to dems. It is pretty simple.

I watched the convention coverage on OAN (One America News Network) and it was great. Full coverage, no interruptions. I am watching that channel more and more and less and less FOX. I do like Tucker, Jesse Waters and Greg Gutfield, but just cannot tolerate Juan, Maria Harf, Jessica or the cheat, Donna Brazil.

This was not the first time that the FOX talking heads have lost control of interviews that they allowed Donna Brazile to take over and do her liberal Democrat thing. The FOX talking heads during the daytimes and on much of the weekends are obvious Democrats.
The worst thing about the FOX talking heads is when they interrupt and talk over their expert guests who much of the time are experts on very complex issues. That has happened many times, and a lot of the time the segment runs out before those expert guests could get their points across to the audience.

FTA: ~~ "Fox’s idea of analysis is to provide a forum for Brazile to cry, “Russia, Russia, Russia.” So impressed was Fox with Brazile’s cogent analysis that she was back in the evening for post-election analysis and on “Fox and Friends” the following morning."~~
And again, today, they cut away from Trump's speech in NH.....NO More Fox in this house!.....
