I don't watch it but I occasionally view their Facebook page. Man, THOSE ALL CAP RESPONSES on some of the posts. They really go in on this Obama person he must work there or something.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I don't really watch any cable news

 

[Abstrusity]

It's not something I watch at home but it is on the TV in the lobby at work so I will briefly watch it once and a while. I do wonder what they will talk about once the presidential campaign is over though.

How Hillary Clinton is ruining the country, likely. Did you know she's a secret illuminati/Iran plant? Fox knows!

He's infiltrated The White House for 8 years with his muslim communist agenda, and if he had his way, he would never leave. Keep an eye on him.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Election night, sure. Other than that, hell no... garbage in, garbage out.

 

[Sanjuro]

Sure. It is on par offensively to me with CNN. When I do watch the news it's a coin toss.

Otherwise MSNBC.

CNN is offensive for completely different reasons. More of a "Now, in interest of fairness, let's give this dead raccoon equal time to argue his point." sorta way.

Absolutely. For me, being kind of trapped in the Boston Marathon flurry of events was absolutely eye opening. Just how little substance these networks use segment to segment.

 

[Saganator]

I switch between Fox and MSNBC, probably on Fox more for the comedic value and hear what crazy shit they say before I hear it from somewhere else. Although sometimes it just makes me angry and I have to switch it.

Definitely tune in on election nights.

 

[Pyroclastic]

I see clips now and then like others I guess, but actually watching the channel for a sustained amount of time.

Only for debates and on national election nights where the republican candidate loses

2012 was glorious.

 

[AuthenticM]

Keep in mind that even if you just watch them "for fun", you are giving them money.

I don't have a Neilsen box, so no I'm not.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Rush is the most entertaining thing on radio, doesn't matter what your political view is, he's hilarious

 

[MIMIC]

I only watch it during breaking news

 

[Norris1020]

I watch Shep almost every day and usually leave on Cavuto because nothing is on at 4 pm. Megyn Kelly at night if there's nothing sports related on. The only other news shows I can watch is Anderson Cooper on CNN and the CBS night news, I like Scott Pelley and their feel good "On the Road" segments.

As far as Rush goes, he's already funny but when he goes on his tirades and starts imitating people I find myself laughing out loud in my car.

 

[Strike]

Only to compare to the 24 hour cable news networks during major events. Otherwise no. It barely qualifies as a news channel. It's propaganda and hot garbage.

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

I used to. For real even. I'm glad I kicked the habit almost a decade ago.

 

[RPGCrazied]

For the laughs sometimes. Like O'Riley. Watching him get mad is comedy gold.

Every time I think of him, I always remember him for "Fuck it! We will do it live!"


Some hosts are insufferable and I have to turn it off. Like Fox & Friends and Outnumbered.

 

[Walpurgis]

I don't want that shit infecting my subconscious.

You guys are playing a dangerous game. It won't be long before you wake up as nazis. That's what happened to the rest of their viewers. What makes you think you're so different?

 

[Tom Nook]

For entertainment purpose.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

The impressions are classic

 

[Hellwarden]

Nope.

Don't watch any tv news actually. Get all my news online.

If you only watch things that align with your worldview your perspective will be limited. How will you be able to debate or analyze alternative points of views?

You don't have to agree with it nor should it be your only source. I don't even consider real news. It's entertainment to me.

But Republicans dominate more than half of our governing bodies in the US both state and national. Not understanding or knowing how their tick seems like a very foolish stance to take. They wield immense influence in your day to day life.

 

[t0va]

I surf foxnews.com's comment section at least once a week. It's a steamy hot cesspool of ignorant bigots. The amount of time I've wasted typing wall-of-text rebuttal's numbers in the hours. When I conclude my posts I take one last look at the comment I'm replying to before realizing that trying to get through to these people is futile. I'd really like to help them but I know it's just a waste of time. Maybe they'll be more receptive after their party falls like the Hindenburg.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Not actively, sometimes its on at the gym and I can't change it. It's interesting to say the least.

 

[theignoramus]

Enemy, really?

FoxNews promotes cultural warfare against certain demographics in America.I'm not sure how men like Sean Hannity,O'Reilly, Eric Bolling, and shows like Fox & and Friends can be thought of as anything other than enemies of the Black community.
-they scapegoat Blacks for sociological issues and make it seem like Blacks and other minorities just want to take out their anger (anger that's a result of their collective personal failures of course) on hard working whites. For Fox, its minorities who are keeping the country from a post racial era.

-they either insinuate or state outright Blacks internalize a culture of crime, violence,moral deviancy and low ambition.

-on the more diabolical side of things, theyll invite loudmouth, brash Black, brown or Muslim guests with extremist viewpoints onto their shows to infuriate their viewing audience and foment racial resentments, Jerry Springer style.
Fox is the network version of the Willie Horton ad, the J Edgar Hoover of American broadcasters.
So yes, Roger Ailes, his toxic programming and vile editorial content are manifestly the Enemy.

 

[Revolver]

I watch Shep from time to time and some Megyn Kelly if nothing else is on. Mostly get my evening news from the local channels and PBS Newshour. Oh and NBC Nightly News because I like Lester Holt and get a kick out of how many times Hallie Jackson can ask Ted Cruz if he stills plans to support the GOP nominee.

 

[TruHero]

Not anymore. I don't enjoy being angry

 

[The Albatross]

No. I don't watch any network news and really can't stand watching Fox News.

I used to subscribe to the National Review, though, but largely for the really excellent book reviews. That and the NYT Review of Books were my favorite print reading materials.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

Only after Trump wins primaries to see how they cover it. And I'll be watching it for election coverage to see their tears.

Funny thing, I watched FOX News almost exclusively like my first 3 years of college. I wasn't as heavily into politics and I wasn't a conservative, per se, but at the time I thought they had good coverage on the war and even thought guys like O'Reilly were "balanced." I think it's this exposure that eventually convinced me it's one of the worst channels ever, the reporters are clowns, Republicans in general are evil and ignorant, and drove me as far as left as I am. Thanks, FOX News!

 

[AxelFoley]

Does a bear shit in the woods?

Yes...but no, I don't watch Fox News.

 

[Catdaddy]

They seem to have a "type"

im not sure which is worse the ones you described or when they can find the one black person thats willing to come on and say they agree with FOX's view point, whatever that is, and be like "see this one black person agrees with us" thats why these 100 black leaders are all wrong!

See the Bill Cosby effect. I wonder if O'Reilly has stopped using Cosby ever since the rape allegations.

 

[yankeeforever2]

At the gym yes, only news channel on the cardio machines

 

[theignoramus]

Yes I do - although when Hannity comes on its time to turn the channel.

Megyn Kelly is an outstanding reporter too.

Megyn Kelly wants to have her cake and eat it too. I wont forget her spending month after month raising hell about the minor New Black Panther Party voter intimidation incident in Philly and claiming the Obama/Holder justice department was prejudiced against prosecuting cases where whites were victims of voter intimidation.

the last week or so of her work -- her one woman crusade against the New Black Panther Party -- has been truly riveting television. Kelly widens her eyes in a way that bespeaks both horror and anger at the subject she's reporting on. "Shocking new video," she'll say, introducing a clip of the Panthers acting like idiots and yelling about "crackers" at a Philadelphia street festival. "We have a DOJ whistleblower alleging there is a discriminatory policy at the DOJ voting rights section," she'll say, "and no one seems to give a darn."

Watch her broadcasts and you become convinced that the New Black Panthers are a powerful group that hate white people and operate under the protection of Eric Holder's DOJ. That "Megyn Kelly DESTROYS Kirsten Powers" video that I mentioned begins with her introducing a clip of a town hall meeting with Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Ca.) in which he gets an angry question about whether the DOJ has a policy of not prosecuting African-Americans.

"I am extremely sure that we do not have a policy at the Department of Justice of never prosecuting a black defendent."

The crowd rises up. "Yes you do!" shouts one voter. When Sherman says he doesn't know much about the Panther case, the crowd erupts in boos. They've been driven to fear and distrust of their DOJ by round-the-clock videos of one racist idiot brandishing a nightstick for a couple hours in 2008.

That is gutter journalism.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Yes. I fell in love with it a few years ago when it was the only English channel on my hotel TV while on vacation.
It's just amazing how bias and full of shit it is.
Too many commercials though. Just when you're getting a good laugh going, interruption occurs.

Or how about that Jesus/Santa Clause shit. Embarrassing.

 

[Boney]

No one should sponsor that vile thing that passes itself as supposed media. Please stop watching that garbage.

 

[Blue Calx]

I occasionally watch Shepard Smith. I'm also gonna watch the meltdowns after Clinton becomes President.

 

[Dishwalla]

I try sometimes, but it is so hard to watch. I do like how much emphasis goes into their presentation though, even simple things like the "FOX NEWS ALERT" animation are presented so urgently. No wonder people in this country are so scared of everything.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I want to for their screw-ups, and melt downs, which I use youtube reposts for, or gifs. I usually miss out on a ton of that. It is all so stupid.

 

[PeskyToaster]

Why is it that the other side always has to be brainwashed sheep? Is there no other way someone could possibly come up with a different opinion than your own?

Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

 

[NumberTwo]

Like others have said. For the comedy.

 

[gutter_trash]

tuned in for 2 minutes earlier today

Karl Rove talking about Cruz's lack of donor enthusiasm and Kasich vote splitting lol

the anti-Trump movement are in turmoil .... delicious

 

[Boney]

Because they deny facts and make up numbers.

 

[Megalosaro]

It's basically the only news station I watch. Or Plays all day at work.

Fuck they are annoying

Lol.

I watch NBC Nightly News daily too. I flip back and forth between that and CBS Evening News w/ Scott Pelley. Those two are probably the best in the business right now.

I try to avoid corporate media but when live events are going down they're ususally the only ones in town so I'm kind of forced to watch. It doesn't help that with my cable subscription MSNBC, CNN and FOX News are all consecutive channels.

Enemy, really?

There's a reason why NYPD is posted in front of the News Corp. building 24/7. I'm pretty sure they have a lot of enemies.

 

[xsarien]

Only on fun election nights.

Rove's meltdown that night was...epic. I almost felt sorry for him.

Almost.

 

[davepoobond]

yes and they're delusional 80% of the time
