    Not surprising. As their man locks himself increasingly into a corner with his incompetent handling of the covid crisis, the faithful need more and more re-affirmation from the echo chamber. Against their increasing doubt, someone has to keep telling them that they voted for the right person in 2016. That someone is Fox News.

    NOBODY is arguing FOX is mainstream media but YOU.

    This is basic common knowledge stuff, it's not even debatable.

    The Nielsen rating system is sketchy AF, and yet it seems to explain so much about what is mainstream. Fox mainstream media is killing it on cable and WWE is killing it on special events. Idiocracy

    Meanwhile, CNN is such a beat down ratings disaster, they're kicking them out of their own headquarters.

    I'm sure it didn't help that the leftist riot mobs they helped to create turned on them like a pack of rabid dogs.

    Except it is the very definition of mainstream.
    Would you like me to post the definition again?

    It’s getting sad now... are you really arguing that Fox News isn’t established?

    Tucker is actually genuine and intelligent... Is that racist to say because he's white??? He is smart and has a serious message. It is genuine and truthful. People know when someone is bullshiting them. When someone doesn't believe in what they are saying or are trying to conceal the truth it is easy for us to pick up on (probably a survival trait). It is the same as Rush Limbaugh, the man who made me a Conservative. He truly believes everything he says and because he has a worldview he can relate it back with honest conviction. The leftist media cant say anything with real conviction because what they truly want is the destruction of this country as we know it. Thus they go on, like many leftists on this forum, verbose monologues explaining away reality to obfuscate the truth.

    While Hannity, Ingraham, The Five, Brit Hume and gawd knows how many other Fox celebrities actively campaign FOR Trump. If my math is correct, that's at least 8-2 for the president. Yay, the orange guy wins a solid victory!

    Overall, FoxNews isn't nearly as bad as some leftwing folks claim. It's polling is among the best in the industry, the network keeps ridding itself of its former mysogenistic talking heads and some guys like Baier and Wallace actually deserve to be called legitimate journalists. Of course, that Hannity apparently continues to act as a quasi-advisor to the president casts a much different and unprofessional spin on things.

    Tucker does something most CNN and MSNBC hosts don't do. He talks to the audience not down to them or at them.

    Agreed. And I also respect that he has the President's ear.

    When I was a kid I would always color people orange... It seemed to really make my characters glow. I think Trump, like my younger self has great taste.

    Bingo. FOX appeals to an entirely different higher caliber of news connoisseurs who aren't satisfied (nor fooled) by the typical propagandized politicized mainstream media and it's spin and sound bites and clickbait headlines. It's sort of like the news equivalent of the chess vs checkers example. For the people interested in chess, FOX leads by a mile. For the people interested only in checkers, there are a myriad of choices.

    That's why I've dropped Hannity. He has these set comments that he goes into that have really turned annoying.

    From Politico...

    Tucker Carlson 2024? The GOP is buzzing

    While practically every Republican eyeing a 2024 presidential run is professing loyalty to Trump the person, Carlson has become perhaps the highest-profile proponent of “Trumpism” — a blend of anti-immigrant nationalism, economic populism and America First isolationism that he articulates unapologetically and with some snark. At the same time, he's shown a rare willingness among Republicans to bluntly criticize Trump when he believes the president is straying from that ideology.

    You never heard MSNBC criticize Obama, but Tucker regularly criticizes Trump and the Trump administration.

    “Tucker Carlson Tonight” is currently the most watched cable news program in history, according to the second quarter ratings released this week. And on Fox News’ YouTube channel, Carlson’s segments from the past quarter have drawn well over 60 million views and are among the most popular videos in the eight years since the network began posting on the platform.

    It's probably the only TV news/opinion show that's pro-Trumpist, rather than pro-Trump. An important difference that seems to boggle the simple minds of the left. Eventually Trump will be gone, either this fall or in 2024, and who picks up the mantle for Trumpism then? It's clear that the GOP is itching to get back to warmed over Bushism, with a few more wars thrown in, but the country won't survive that, and it sure isn't going to survive the left's cultural revolution.

    Read the whole thing.

    Did you really call Fox viewers "higher caliber new connoisseurs"? This may be the quote of the entire thread. You can't make this stuff up folks.
