republicans have officially fallen out of love with fox news.

[decocker 7,198]

So where did it all go wrong? Some trace the recent Republican-Fox divorce all the way back to last November, when poor Megyn Kelly roamed through the Fox hallways looking for an answer to Karl Rove's ridiculous question: why isn't Mitt Romney president? Fox viewers who spent the months preceding the election listening to Sean Hannity tell them how rosy things were going for the Romney campaign were just as incredulous on election night as Karl Rove. In that way, he was, however briefly, a man of the people.

Right after the election, Slate's Allison Benedikt argued Republicans should stop trusting the network because of its impossibly close ties with the Republican Party if they want honest news. "After Karl Rove’s on-air freakout and the aforementioned MegynCam challenge, Fox was forced to acknowledge that Obama had won the damn election. And now what are they left with?" Benedikt asked. "A whole lot of viewers who are quite surprised to find that they are once again outnumbered by Americans who actually like better access to health care and don’t all keep Carrie Mathison-style timelines of the Benghazi cables on their living room walls." A Public Policy Poll released in January showed a serious decline in trust during the months after the election. Only 52 percent of those who identify as "somewhat conservative," said they trust Fox News, down from 65 percent last year. Hardline conservatives trust Fox News less, too: 13 percent said they don't trust Fox News anymore, compared to 6 percent last year.

I trust 15% of anything from any news agency.

Between the dividing, race baiting, altering news and lies, I find it hard to trust any of the agencies 100%.

The Republicans should divorce Cruz while they are at it.

Every News agency is competing for advertising money = "journalists" are hired for their creative writing skills not ethics.

It is not surprising. Fox has become the padded room of the industry and laughing stock of its peers.

That Karl Rove incident is one of my favorite moments on TV that I can remember. Pure, fabulous insanity.

Q: DO you even have a TV?

Q: DO you know what the primary purpose of any commercial channel is"

A: Ad REVENUE

While I would hope no one on the RIght see's FOX News as anything more than a winning format for a corp.

Gegel, I think you make a total fool of yourself to claim in any sense...... " Fox has become the padded room of the industry and laughing stock of its peers."

In your mind, do you really every news network would not LOVE to get those ad dollars.

DO you really Suppose (pick your favorite host) would not love to make the money the Hosts on FOX get?

Put your lips together and look at the runaway success FOX has and not just in News.

If I were to post Cable political talk shows going head to head you would cringe.
