  1. He’s a hero to the left. Don’t worry about him. He will never have to pay for a drink in DC again.

    “Fox News’ ratings have dropped 40% since election night and they don’t know how to turn it around.”

    They could go after Hunter Biden hammer and tongs. There is plenty of evidence, and it leads to Joe. But they won’t and that’s why they can’t turn it around. What they mean is that they don’t know how to turn it around without alienating the DC cocktail party circuit.

    They have made their choice.

    1. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT USED TO WATCH FOX AND HAVE GIVEN UP ON THEM……..

      They deserve everything they get……….

    1. When you call a state before the polls are closed, a state that wasn’t decided for a week, that’s putting a thumb on the scale. Which is fine with you, but former Fox viewers expected more honesty.

      He did a great job with Congress, didn’t he? Calling for the Democrats to win 10 to 15 seats when he clearly had no data to back that call up.

      1. “that’s putting a thumb on the scale”

        No it isn’t. It’s premature, and it ended up being close, but there’s no evidence it changed the outcome. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle does not apply to ballots.

        1. “but there’s no evidence it changed the outcome.”

          There was an analysis done of Florida 2000 and it’s estimated that if the networks hadn’t called Florida an hour before the polls closed in the heavily red panhandle, Bush would have won by maybe 10,000 votes. So when you say “no evidence” what you mean is that you couldn’t think of anything in the ten seconds it took you to write that comment.

          This is conventional wisdom, not out there kind of stuff, and a team responsible for calling states should know it.

        2. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? Nice attempt to make us think you have a brain larger than an ant’s, you FAS whoreson. “I done heard about this once and thought it would be kewl to bring up in a troll post!” 😀

      2. FOX IS RUN BY A LIBERAL U HAVE TO SCRATCH ,,,GET BELOW THE SURFACE..MARRIAGE, SCHOOLS, ZIP CODE, PARTIES…U KNOW THE MONARCHY….ITS JUST LIKE KING HENRY 8….NOW JOE IS THE HEAD OF THE AMERICAN CHURCH…A DEMENTIA CASE…HEADS WILL ROLL…LIKE THE FRENCH REVOLUTION…

  2. Another “dunsel” released, serving no useful purpose, a vestigial media organ.
    Continue the Star Trek metaphor with John Gill, drugged and propped up by Melakon Harris.
    One disaster already, DACA amnesty, which only serves to embolden illegal migrants infested with covid, rapists and murderers.

    “Friday, two groups of more than 3,000 Honduran migrants each pushed their way into Guatemala without registering as part of a larger caravan headed to the United States, the Associated Press reported. A third group entered Guatemala on Saturday. The migrants aim to reach Mexico, which is north of Guatemala, and eventually make their way to the United States border.

    The organization Pueblos Sin Fronteras called on the U.S., Mexico and Central-American governments to allow the caravan to travel freely and seek asylum in the U.S. It asked the incoming Biden administration to “honor its commitments.”

    Biden has promised to reverse many of the Trump administration’s immigration policies. These include a rule that requires migrants to stay in Mexico as they await hearings, called the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). Critics say the MPP puts migrants at risk. Biden would also stop building the border wall, offer amnesty to 11 million undocumented immigrants and more, in an ambitious plan announced in recent days.”

    During the presidential debate, Joe Biden promised mass amnesty,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., tweeted Sunday. “The rest of the world noticed.” Cotton added Monday: “He’s unveiling his draft immigration bill this week, and it’s what you’d expect from the party of open borders: Total amnesty, no regard for the health or security of Americans, and zero enforcement.”

    “11M, 12M, welcoming the caravan with open arms…Pres. Trump was right about Biden!”

    1. MOAR

      If only Biden would implement anything like ‘open borders’. The explosion of wealth creation would be unlike anything we’ve seen in generations.

      1. Depressing wages at the bottom by dumping millions of new laborers on the market so that wealthy blue staters can have more stuff!

        Trump’s policies actually increased wages at the bottom and led to record low black and Hispanic unemployment. This was too much for the blue noses in the Democrat Party to bear!

        The only people who benefit economically from mass immigration are the wealthy.

        1. “Depressing wages…” but Sleepy Joe is going to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour. Will the people currently getting $15/hour get a raise, or get laid off?

          1. How many of these people can do work worth $15 and hour I wonder, coming here with no education and mostly agricultural skills.

          2. That’s why they need to bring in illegals. For the jobs that employers won’t hire the law abiding at $15/hour to do.

            The Democrats still love their slaves.

          3. THEY WILL BE REPLACED…MACHINES…IN FAST FOOD….MCDONALDS…THE COUNTER PERSON IS SHOWING U ..HOW TO PUT THEM OUT OF A JOB..CONTROL, OBEDIENCE, OBEY….GO TO COLLEGE…THE FINGER FINISH OF COMMUNISM…

        2. “Depressing wages at the bottom by dumping millions of new laborers on the market so that wealthy blue staters can have more stuff!”

          Damn. Right. But not just blue staters.

          Learn to code.

          1. Yes, all of the low skilled workers who are at the bottom that you blithely condemn to lower wages can just drop their sheet rock knives and whatnot and learn to code.

            I am a retired coder. It’s not that easy. You have to have some college at least. What you really mean is “learn to live on less.”

        3. Fox deserve everything that is going to happen to them. Revealed to be controlled opposition on Nov 3.

          1. U JUST FIGURED OUT FOX IS….FANG………….WHERES THE PEARL NECKLACE…LAURA, SEAN, MARTHA, BRETT, TUCKER…..MARK….

      2. You can’t be that stupid to not know the difference between illegal migration and legal immigration or its effects.
        Somehow you mange to get stupider as time goes by. Your TDS, which has ravaged you into rabid rhetoric, has worsened.
        Get some help or step off.

        1. You can’t be that stupid to not know the difference between illegal migration and legal immigration or its effects.

          We’re dealing with UnDork here and, yes, xim/xer/xit is that stupid. The broom closet “university” which “granted” xim/xer/xit’s degree didn’t bother testing for IQ. Then again, for places like that, the only IQ that’s required is to count out enough money to buy the fake credential.

          1. The choice of unme as a name suggests this is a bot. Could explain the irrational drivel posted.

          2. THAT WOULD BE DISCRIMINATION….ITS ALL BOUT…COMPLEXION…I WANT TO KNOW IF THE (THEY) IS FLYING THE PLANE IS OFF WHITE…..

        2. “You can’t be that stupid …”

          Oh yes he can, he is the supernova of stupid, the black hole of stupid, the duck tape of stupid, the original big bang of stupid. And yet he still has enough extra weapons grade stupid to push the boundaries of stupid with every post.

      3. If by ‘creation’ you mean the unprecedented looting of the middle & productive classes’ hard-earned wealth in favour of the quasi-communist parasitic uber-rich and trust-fund classes you are absolutely, incontestibly right…! 🙁

          1. YES MOST WERE COLLEGE KIDS WHITE UPPER MIDDLE CLASS, RELATED TO THE POLITICAL CLASS……NO OPEN BARS TO MEET AND F*CK…LIKE THE PROTESTERS OF 1960, 70’s…MEET AT A RIOT…BUT NOW U CAN DESTROY SOMEONES LIFE…CAUSE YO PARENT…IS IN THE MONARCHY…HOW WOULD U KNOW WHAT AN IMMIGRANT IS DOIN…

        1. Don’t forget “with zero marketable skills and destined for the welfare rolls.”

        2. By creating a deeper labor market it attracts investment, and maximizes the return on it. That’s how America was built.

      4. You need to visit Los Angeles. No, REALLY. Or maybe what you mean by “wealth creation” is “more cocaine and fentanyl for me.”

  3. 40% hit to their numbers. That’s a big ouch. I would guess most are not coming back no matter what kind of deck chair shuffling goes on. Did they think they were going to capture some far left viewers without antagonizing their base?

    If 2020 has confirmed anything for me, it’s that many times the “experts” are less knowledgeable than laymen.

    1. They served their DNC masters and did their part in the election to defeat Trump. They didn’t think about the next day, or believed that their viewers were as stupid as everybody at the cocktail parties they went to claimed.

  4. No worries! David Rhodes to the rescue!

    He is the brother of Ben Rhodes, the former deputy national security adviser for strategic communications for President Barack Obama.

    I am sure that bringing in a CBS news guy with Obama administration people on speed dial will lead Fox to the promised land of being popular with liberal viewers and they can leave us deplorables behind, just like ChiCom Mitch has done.

    1. Time to invest in printing press and paper stocks – as long as they aren’t chinese companies…

  5. They could use MSNBC as a model, and spend every day going after Joe Biden. Of course they won’t because it’s unseemly to point out that our new president is an open kleptocrat and BTW, pizza gate notwithstanding, there is evidence that he is a bit of a pedophile.

    We can expect that the ChiComs will be sending him underage girls in diplomatic pouches starting day one.

  6. What I’ve noticed over the last couple of years is the more this whackjob packed on the blubber the more he wallowed in anti-Trump rhetoric. Something in the pork? No doubt. Don’t let the door hit you on your fat ass you miserable POS!

    1. Reminds me of a few friends who became crack addicts, then changed their political orientation from conservative to far left. Definitely a correlation, I mean these guys were way more socially and fiscally conservative than me and had been an influence on my own worldview. Then addiction and next thing you know it’s trained-parrot ideology spouting. One drained his family’s finances completely before getting off the streets.

      Needless to say I don’t talk to those idiots any more. One’s in a long-term care home anyway, crippled by years of substance abuse. So long, assholes.

  7. I never thought it was a big deal.

    People seem to demand absolute ideological purity in all things or that’s it — enemies for life. Take a valium.

    1. Go ahead and watch ‘em if you want. When somebody sells me out, I remember it. We aren’t demanding that FOX be taken off the air, like the left does, we are just changing the dial. They want a new audience, let them go find it.

  8. Curious, why people are willing to give up watching a TV station, but unwilling to give up on a political party? The failures of the CPoC, the Sask Party, are far more numerous and egregious. Also, they have been going on far longer.

    Asking for a friend.

  9. Funny though, Stirewalt is the perfect squish to stay at FAUX news, representing the NEW direction for FAUX as a squishy soft middle home for DeMarxist infiltration.
    Moves like this won’t bring the viewers back, not at all.
    Even Tucker, Hannity, and wishy washy Laura are suffering into third place in their time slots. Unheard of for years.
    It doesn’t matter what they say, the tribe has left the reservation
    This is the first move at Faux, more to follow, in their continuing March to the left. Too many Demarxists and CINOs at executive level, they are the reason for the downfall. They can now report back to Soros, mission accomplished!

  10. I remember seeing how odd it was calling Virginia for Biden when Trump was up 15 points. I think we might add Virginia the 6 stolen states. Basically the great support of black voters in 6 cities swung it all for Biden. In only these 6 cities did Biden outpoll Obama. Biden was so beloved that he encouraged a 200% turnout in these districts.
