With the exception of a few personalities, Fox News isn't now, nor has ever been, all that conservative. The Canada Free Press asks if "By 2020 Will Fox News Be The Biggest Anti-Trump Network?" Now that the scion of Rupert Murdoch is allegedly running the show, it's becoming more and more obvious, as the Canada Free Press article demonstrates.
Shepard Smith is a flaming liberal, Bill O'Reilly was, in my opinion, a phony, Meghan Kelly was a fraud, and Chris Wallace is still his father's son! Although Wallace attempts to give the impression he's trying to be impartial, he's not very good at it. He's a phony journalist of the same ilk as his father, and clearly suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome. But he's not alone as a lot of former prominent "conservative" journalists and commentators suffer from that same mental disorder.
Brett Baier always gave the best impression of impartial reporting. "The Five" have difficulty being the rock in the liberal current. George Will is an arrogant ego-centric who derides Trump for doing the very things he demanded be done. As for Krauthammer, although he's passed, he suffered from the same kind of arrogant case of weird as Will. Both atheists who could transition easily to leftist posturing. The 2016 election is the perfect example. No real conservative, no matter how much they disliked trump, could vote for Hillary or promote her.
The best Fox conservative who won't tolerate spinning, and could outline clearly her views on every issue was Judge Jeanine Ferris Pirro. Fox suspended her for a while for telling the truth about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Fox calls truth Islamophobic. Laura Ingram, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Jesse Watters come up close behind.
Eric Bolling, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Greg Gutfeld were the conservative moderates on the Five, but they all lacked the historical foundation or intellectual ammunition to shut down the logical fallacies of the leftists who appeared on the show, although Gutfeld was the best of the lot at picking up on logical fallacies and did so quite often. Then Jesse Watters entered the picture and is clearly capable of dealing with both the history of these issues, and the logic.
Dana Perino is a Bush Washington insider who would be comfortable with Will and Krauthammer's views. For a time Andrea Tantaros was most effective conservative on The Five with Gutfeld running second, and they got rid of her.
Juan Williams has always been a leftist loon. He and Geraldo are experts at logical fallacies and self righteous self delusion. Kristen Powers, who's an apologist for the left on almost every occasion, claims to have converted from atheism to Christianity, but remains a Democrat.
Democrats have a Party Platform defending every form of abortion and gay marriage. Since both those positions are antithetical to Christian ethics can she be a member of the Democrat party without being a heretic?
Her "conversion", along with Bob Beckel's, who I never found to be anything but contemptible, is questionable, which makes me wonder how scarred their consciences must be to continue on their paths. They've all breathed the air of the leftist fever swamps so long they can't argue an issue without logical fallacies, misdirection, obfuscation of the facts, outright propaganda and a repudiation of Christian ethics and values. I wonder. Is it better to be an atheist or a heretic?
As for Judge
Napolitano; he's gone completely over the cliff of leftist insanity. It's my view somewhere there's a story to be told over his recent Trump Derangement Syndrome infection, but only time will tell what it is.
I've left out a bunch of Fox characters, but no matter, Fox isn't really conservative, nor did Ailes want it to be. He wanted it to make money and he saw a huge market that wasn't being attended to. One that would make a lot of money for his network.
That market was a very large conservative American population that came of age and realized the news media was nothing more than a propaganda machine for leftists and Democrats. So he provided a news service that wasn't a complete socialist propaganda machine, and America responded. It was so different from the Main Stream Media it was considered a conservative Republican organ, except the Republican Party isn't all that conservative.
However, that market wouldn't have been obvious to Ailes, or anyone else in the media for that matter, if it wasn't for Talk Radio and Rush Limbaugh.
He created conservative media, and like it or not - That's the Way It Is!
