Posted under FOX News
When I turn on the TV for news, which isn’t often, I seek out either Lou Dobbs on CNN or Pat Buchanan on MSNBC. If I can’t find either, the content of one station will usually direct me to the other. As a result, I’m all but oblivious to who is on Fox. And after Fox excluded Paul in its NH debate, I’m even less inclined to turn there. Nevertheless, I’m often told Fox is the preferred channel for conservative viewers.
So to all the Fox viewers I ask, whom do you like on Fox? Has a conservative slipped through the Murdoch globalist filter, or are you merely more comfortable with a channel that pulls for team Republican?

Btw, the Southern Avenger has a new YouTube video up called, “FOX News is No Better than the ‘Liberal Media’”:
He has a similar piece up today in the Charleston City Paper called, Media-ocrity:
If the viewer is lucky enough to get a glimpse or a graphic on television of where a particular candidate stands, it is dwarfed by the amount of time covering the personalities involved. What should be peripheral news is not only the predominant news – but the only news. We hear more about Hillary crying during the campaign than how her policies might make voters cry if she were to become elected. We know Rudy fancies himself as “tough†on terrorism, but how tough would he be on America as president, as evidenced by the scores of NYC policemen and firemen who consider him a failed mayor?
Which is of course why I rarely even turn the tube on…

I prefer CNN.
Not because it has Lou Dobbs (a protectionist and a welfare statist at heart), but just because I don’t have to put up with all the knuckleheads I’d expect on FOX News.

The only one on Fox that has anything to offer conservatives is Andrew Napolitano, and he is not on with any regularity. He is brought on sometimes for legal analysis. Now that he has endorsed Ron Paul we may never see him again!

I like Tucker. I like to watch Chris Matthews even though I don’t agree with him. I always get the sense that Matthews’ Ritalin is wearing off late in the day.
Even though he is a cad, I think Dick Morris who guests on FOX has pretty insightful political commentary. He was the first to predict the Huckaboom.
Hannity and O’Reilly are evil neocon GOP sycophants.

Filmer,
I like Tucker, too. I’m waiting for the day he admits he’s paleoconservative.

There was a time that I liked the neocons, but now have no patience for watching “Bill O’Reilly” invite people on to simply tell them how smart he is!(I havn’t heard what a guest said in years.)……………I do like Lou Dobbs, and never miss a chance to hear Judge Napalatano, knowing that his days are numbered at the “Rupert Murdoch” neocon central……………Public television is getting good again, as the hosts simply shut-up and let the guests actually talk…………….I’m a protestant evangelical, but would love to hear someone ask Sean Hannity, “So, what’s a nice Catholic boy like you, sucking up to a pro-abortion, cross dressing, gay loving, candidate like Guliani???????”…………………………….Chasing that career dream?

Cliff Kincaid was on the Michael Savage show last night, and he said that Fox News will get even more liberal, because when Rupert kicks off, he’s probably going to leave all his media to one of his sons who is very left-wing.

Shepard Smith is good because he doesn’t off any of his own views, just reports stuff. I watch him if I catch him.
I watch O’Reilly if he is doing some culture war stuff, he’s very good at that. When he gets on foreign policy though I turn it.

Mark……………I liked Shepard Smith at one time as well.(He’s a Mississippi Boy originally.) He lost me however, when he and the leader of “La Raza” double teamed the sheriff from Arizona that has actively enforced the immigration laws, and built a “Tent City” jail……..It was obvious in the interview that the “local sheriff” was to be discredited and made to look like a nut. You could tell that the sheriff had expected an apposing position from the additional guest, but never expected Shepard Smith to work as an aly to the open border agenda?(It has been obvious that the first pick of FOX(Guiliani) represents their true open border position.

I watch MSNBC hoping Pat Buchanan pops up, otherwise Lou Dobbs.
Pat Buchanan should have his own show unscripted.
He’s terrible when scripted when he guest hosts, he should have his own unscripted show.

Folks, you DO know that all the reality shows are SCRIPTED right?
Same with the “news” shows including Fox. They do their masters bidding.
They try to give the appearance it’s all open and unbiased and spontaneous, but it ain’t. They say NOTHING their masters don’t want them to say, and they either are liberals at heart, or they don’t last long in the business.
We have no clue as to just how completely all forms of media have been taken over by the liberals and neo-cons (essentially the same breed of animal). Even the supposedly right winger on talk radio – Rush – is merely a shill for the neo-cons. NOTHING gets on the air unless it serves the bigger agenda of the Jews and the socialists. Before somebody jumps on me about including the Jews, do your research on who OWN most of the media outright, or who are the CEOs.

Agreed and couldn’t have said it better.

Bill,
Take the tinfoil hat off for a second. There’s no Illuminati conspiracy to teach Pokemon to your kids.
The fact that most media owners are Jews doesn’t mean they speak for the many that aren’t. Most of the media owners are secular, so they certainly don’t speak for normative Judaism.
And who are the socialists you’re referring to? It appears highly oxymoronic, as well as moronic, to say that there are any number of socialists owning big media.

On Fox Glenn Beck is o k sometimes but it’s easier to say who not to watch. I would never watch Jeraldo, and I don’t watch O’riely especially when that buffoon
Dick Morris is on. Hannity and Combs are predictable but they have some good debates. The best are Dobbs and Buchanan but they are not on FOX.

I think if a person is subject to be swayed by any of the media outlets, they shouldn’t try to watch any of them.
Sadly…one who has that characteristic is usually unaware of it..
Ocassionally, I here something on Fox that seems real..but it is quickly displaced by a picture of some burnt out starlets crotch…and that too, is
probably intentional.
Truth/Crotch/Truth/Crotch/Crotch
Oh yeah, Fox has an educational value..like watching the POTUS’ conversion to judaism live, and Brit Hume revealing the time period he became a neocon (by having no clue what the Gulf of Tonkin even means)

Good grief !!!!!

I can’t stop laughing… So before the viewer can digest the truth for what it is, he’s distracted by the crotch, forgetting the truth while he drools.
That’s too funny.
