Fox ‘News’ Taking BIG Hit In Ratings Since Failing Miserably To Extort Dish Network

Fox News and Dish Network are engaged in a staring contest and no one is blinking.

In a dispute over programming fees, Dish Network, a satellite TV company, dropped Fox News Channel (FNC) and Fox News Business from their channel lineup on Dec. 21 and it’s having repercussions on the ratings.

Sadly, FNC has been the most-watched news channel for 13 years straight, but in just under two weeks since the blackout, Nielsen ratings shows viewership has dipped from an average of 1.5-1.6 million primetime viewers to 939,000 primetime this week.

The Nielsen data also shows ratings are down 12 percent when compared to this week last year.

The talking heads at Fox have been advising their viewers to write or call the company to demand FNC back. However, according to the contract customers sign, Dish Network is within their rights to drop any channel they want from their lineup, so customers demanding their money back during the blackout are getting little to nothing in return.

The Dish Network Facebook page is inundated with unhappy conservatives who are boycotting or threatening to boycott the network.

Ooo they mad. Facebook

Meanwhile, the two companies have been busy pointing the finger at one another.

The Senior Vice President of Dish programming, Warren Schlichting, said in a statement:

It’s like we’re about to close on a house and the Realtor is trying to make us buy a new car as well. Fox blacked out two of its news channels, using them as leverage to triple rates on sports and entertainment channels that are not in this contract.

However, the Vice President of Fox News, Tim Carry, said:

Fox News Channel did not disconnect Dish, rather, Dish prematurely ceased distribution of Fox News in an attempt to intimidate and sway our negotiations. It is unfortunate that the millions of Fox News viewers on Dish were used as pawns by their provider. Hopefully they will vote with their hard earned money and seek another one of our other valued distributors immediately.

Fox News says they have been blocked from Dish

At press time, there was no resolution in sight between the two businesses.

In the meantime, Foxbots can enjoy Newsmax and The Blaze in place of their regular conservative propaganda-machine programming.

10 Things GOP Dish Network Subscribers Can Do During Fox News Blackout

  • Mark R. DeMist

    Fox may be telling the truth but if they told me the sun came up in the East I would still go check.

  • kanenas101

    And yet, FNC still blows the pants out of every other cable news channel.

    http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.COM/2015/01/02/cable-news-ratings-for-tuesday-december-30-2014/344789/

    • Green Glory

      Ha, keep dreaming

      • kanenas101

        Why dream? The facts are right in front of you. Even with the drop caused by Dish, FNC is still winning.

        • Green Glory

          The Ha is for you. Fox news sued for the right to tell you lies, and yet you still support them. Man, they really disrespected your life.

          • kanenas101

            ROFL I support them? You’re quite the omniscient fellow.

            I don’t even have pay TV. How can I support something I won’t even pay to watch. But fortunately the facts don’t have any bearing on whether or not I pay for TV.

            And if they’re saying lies, can you name one? I’m curious.

          • cravin moorehead

            1. The Affordable Health Care Act, will, “Pull the plug on ‘granmaw’.”
            2. Benghazi
            3. Fast and Furious
            4. Tax cuts for the rich will stimulate the economy
            5. The First Lady, is trying to control what we eat.
            6. The Keystone pipeline will be a benefit to our economy and lower oil prices.
            7. The President is a Kenyan socialist. (How’s the stock market doing?)

            Do I really have to continue, stupid?

            Now, stop “ROFL”, pick your ass up, and STOP watching (yes, we know that you are a viewer….and a liar) Faux Noise.

          • Tom Walker

            He asked you to name ONE. Don’t confuse the poor soul.

          • kanenas101

            Your friend listed 0.

            Surely you might know at least one lie.

          • Green Glory

            kanenas101, Sorry, I’m a bit late reading your rebuttal, cravin beat me to it. I normally do not bother providing examples of Fox News lies, because you Fox News viewers always either dismiss the lies, refuse you admit you read the post or you do what you just did. You saw cravin’s list of Fox lies, but was not satisfied, ( as if you have to have the same list from me). I see you are too embarrassed to admit that you are a Fox News fan, yet you defend them. so OK, I will add a few more Fox News lies to the list.

            1. ACA Death Panels
            2. President Obama wants to bring down America.
            3. President Obama has used executive Order more any other President.
            4. Spending under the Obama Administration is out of hand.
            5. The unemployment rate is at 5.8% because everybody stopped looking for work.
            6. There are ISIS agents infected with Ebola, coming across the Mexican Boarder.
            7. According to all poles, Mitt Romney is leading the 2012 Election in almost all states.
            8. Eyewitnesses who saw the Michael Brown shooting say that they saw Micheal Brown attack Daren Wilson.
            9. Forensic evidence proved that Micheal Brown went for Officer Wilson’s gun.
            10. President Obama lied about keeping you old insurance plan and doctor. ( most Fox News Viewers still don’t know the truth about that one ).

            I could go on and on, in fact there are over a hundred documented lies that Fox news has told, just in 2014. But i but, you will not believe that Fox News lies, unless I give you all 100 examples, with documented proven evidence, ( which you would still dismiss ). Fox News did in fact sue for the right to tell lies to their viewers, (under freedom of Speech) and they won. Fox news was banned in Canada for telling so many lies. So as you asked me for one, I give you 10. And I also give you an extra emphatic HA !

          • kanenas101

            You denied science in your last post and you denied the word of a TV ratings company. What else do you not know?

          • Mlsflt

            Wow, you are one of those people huh? Completely ignoring forensics and autopsy results from not one, not two, but three different Coroners, one hired by the family, one the State and one by the Federal Government. That Sir, strips you of all credibility. You have been weighed, measured and found wanting.

          • Green Glory

            Yes, I am one of those people. And I am proud to be one of those people, because we got the story right. New York Chief Medical examiner, Dr. Michael Baden was completely misquoted by the New York Time, in reporting that there was evidence to prove that Mike Brown went for Officer Wilson’s gun, ( that comment was never stated). That was the worst lie a Conservative Paper could tell, and after a threat of a law suit, they retracted it the next day. But if you are a Fox News Viewer, you would not know that. If you had a brain, you would know that a Medical examiner can not possibly tell what a person’s intentions are, or what they are trying to do. Misfit, do you really think an autopsy can determine if a person is going for a gun ? I mean, they can figure out if you are close to a gun when it goes off, but they can not possibly know what a person is thinking. But, if you are gullible enough to believe what you hear on Fox News, then I guess you would believe in that blatant lie. But then again, you could only launch a pitiful attack on one of the many, many, many Fox News lies, ( and you did a piss poor job). So I say again, Please do not let Fox News disrespect your life like that. seek the truth, and find your dignity.

          • Leah Danes

            You forgot that the president is getting rid of donuts and sprinkles. lol

          • kanenas101

            Except that the fact is that the FDA proposal in question would ban one of the ingredients used in specific kinds of donut sprinkles used by some bakers who make donuts.

            So yes, that’s another fact. Could it be sensationalizing? Perhaps, but it is not a lie.

          • Justin Brown

            You’re delusional and allergic to facts,the donut scare was taken from a satire online,fox was too stupid or lazy to fact check and just ran with it because they know their viewers are also to stupid and lazy or to fact check for themselves!!You’re a funny guy!Keep eating the pablum,people that get their news entirely from fox score worse on factual current events than people who watch no news at all!Research before you state”facts”,google at least.

          • kanenas101

            Again though the facts don’t bear you out.

            Perhaps if you had watched the news segment, instead of reading what others said it said, you might know this. The news segment mentioned that when this ban was implemented in Philadelphia, local bakers asked for an exemption because this ban would harm their business. They even presented baked goods made with and without the trans fats in question in order to attempt to win an exemption.

            http://www.phila.GOV/health/pdfs/Trans_Fat.pdf

            But there go those pesky facts again. Too bad you missed them.

          • Mlsflt

            Wrong, the original story was not Satire, it came from Breitbart and is indeed based on FDA regulation, why not consult the favorite Liberal fact org. Snopes! While they do find the story to be false that Obama is banning sprinkles, they do acknowledge that PHO’s are being banned or could be, but manufacturers will just use other ingredients. Should they refuse to switch ingredients, they could be forced to stop production, so, as Kane said, sensationalized, yes, lies?? no.

          • Mlsflt

            MSNBC, MSN, CNN all also reported on this. It is in fact possible it could happen, in a confounded round about way, if a manufacturer refused to make them with anything but trans fat containing PHO’s. That said, they will just use other ingredients. The original story was not from Fox or even Fox and Friends, it was from Breitbart. But hey, why let facts like those get in the way of a good Fox Bashing, right?

          • Terry

            You also forgot Ebola, a story that magically disappeared after the elections.

          • Mlsflt

            Also covered by every other news outlet. The stink raised over the infections, forced the CDC to change quarantine procedure’s which may or may not have stopped further cases from entering the Country or infecting people here.

          • cravin moorehead

            Oh, sorry. I forgot the best lie of them all.

            “CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE, MY FRIEND!”

            And now, thanks to the republican Supreme Court, those “Corporate People”, are sodomizing the rest of the American people, that are, actually, ALIVE!

          • kanenas101

            How is a Supreme Court ruling a “Fox News lie.”

            Did Fox News report that the Supreme Court ruled that corporations aren’t people? If that’s the case then yes, it would be a lie. But that’s not what happened here either.

          • Justin Brown

            Arguing with a loyal fox viewer is like clapping with one hand or trying to de program a cult follower,in either case why bother?

          • Mlsflt

            Same can be said for MSNBC viewers, Liberals, Progressive Liberals, Fundamentalist Preachers, Donkeys, Rocks, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi……

          • Kurt Anderson

            Like your beloved unions have been doing?

          • Mlsflt

            So, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. are all evil?

          • cravin moorehead

            You moron,

            What do you YOU call an American company, that was created, and grew, because of the benefits of the American system, is making handsome profits, and then, decides, because of unbridled corporate greed, to lay off THOUSANDS of American workers and send those jobs off shore?

            To compound this insult, what would you call companies that keep their profits off shore to avoid paying taxes on the profits made from selling their products in THIS country?

            And, what do you call companies that hire lobbyists, to subvert our laws to benefit their entities, at the expense of the United States of America?

            In answer to your ridiculous question, YES, they ARE evil.

            Are you a troll, or, are you really that stupid?

            Get lost, tool.

            You’re a PERFECT republican.

          • kanenas101

            Uh, everything you listed was reported accurately by Fox News.

            Just because you’re ignorant of the facts doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

            Let’s see with the death panels - Sarah Murnaghan was initially condemned to die by the Secretary of HHS. This was reversed by a federal judge. So yes, “death panels” do exist.

            Benghazi - what did Fox get wrong here? 4 people including a US ambassador were killed and we did nothing to defend them. Those are indisputable facts.

            Fast and Furious - isn’t it illegal to run guns to Mexican drug lords? That’s exactly what happened here.

            Tax cuts for the rich do stimulate the economy - just ask presidents like JFK, Reagan, Bush and to a certain extent, this one. He signed into law almost all of the tax cuts that Bush enacted. If they were so bad, why did he make them permanent?

            The First Lady controlling lunch - haven’t you heard of the “Let’s Move” program and kids complaining about how those school lunch choices are not so good? Just because your news station didn’t cover it didn’t mean it isn’t happening.

            Even the president’s own State Department is saying the Keystone XL pipeline will be beneficial. What are you talking about?

            The president is of Kenyan descent. Perhaps you missed the fact that his father was from Kenya. When did FNC describe him as a socialist? As for the stock market, sure it is up, but the overall number of people working is not up. That doesn’t make for a recovery.

          • cravin moorehead

            You are STILL a liar.

            Typical Faux Noise viewer.

            Loaded with half-facts.

          • kanenas101

            ROFL. Everything I said is 100% true. Just because you’re too lazy to be informed doesn’t change that.

            The only time I view Fox News is when I’m in front of someone else’s TV. I highly doubt that makes me count as a viewer.

          • Mlsflt

            Kanenas, while this is fun, its pointless. I have spent several hours on here pointing out the holes in their arguments. I have shown where CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC etc etc have reported the same things Fox reported. Somehow, the rest are telling the truth, but, Fox lied. This is purely ideological blindness. The type of devotion A certain villain in WWII enjoyed. They will not acknowledge that the sources they watch are just as biased as Fox. Crazy thing is, you say you don’t watch Fox, I rarely watch it, I am typically more inclined to flip it on CNN IF I have to watch tv for news. I much rather hit the interweb’s and go oversea’s to BBC and a few others for world news, local news for, well, local news. Yet here we are, defending a Network we don’t watch often or at all. I will say, I like Bill O’Reilly, he has a great series of Books. Any of the “Killing ____” series are good. I just finished “Killing Patton” Great factual account of Patton’s rather bumpy charge through Europe and the feathers he ruffled along the way. Never knew he was such a firebrand. “Killing Lincoln” was good too, heck, all of them are good if you read often. Best one of all was “Killing Jesus” it left out the miracles and all the unverifiable stuff attributed to Jesus. It avoids calling him the Savior or any of that. It just covers his factual existence, the verifiable portions of his life as told by Jewish, Roman and other Historical works.

          • kanenas101

            Oh no doubt. There’s definitely fun in relentlessly mocking the left by way of fact, but as no doubt you’re in the same situation, I do have to go back to work soon so I’ll have to leave the adult children here be.

            Have a great new year!

          • Mlsflt

            We now are seeing that there are indeed Health Care Maintenance Panels that will be deciding whether or not a person will be allowed certain procedures or treatments. Their decisions could in fact be construed as a “death panel”.

            Benghazi happened, people died, there were orders to stand down.

            Thousands of Weapons disappeared and were under the Supervision of Eric Holder.

            Do you have proof Tax cuts don’t work? you are stating your opinion here.

            My kids have to carry a lunch to school because the ones they serve are so small and are items my kids despise so badly that they refuse to eat them. The lunch’s we pack and send with our children are often scrutinized and we have had two warning letters sent to us by our youngest’s teacher telling us that our peanut butter and jelly sandwich, small bag of doritos, apple and juice box aren’t meeting required guidelines implemented by Michelle. So, yes, she is controlling what my kids are eating. She pushed for the reforms, she got them passed in a hurry, before studies could be conducted as to how to implement the guidelines in a manner in which children would eat the foods. My kids hated their lunch’s so badly, they made their own lunch the night before for months when we refused to believe them that their lunch was bad. We went and ate with them a few times, well, my wife did. She once was given an apple that was rotten, green beans that were crunchy and a baked chicken leg that was tough as jerky, thats it.

            Pipeline will not benefit us… what proof do you have of this? It will bring jobs during construction and maintenance jobs after completion. It will ramp up our refineries creating jobs, require security, creating jobs and will lower prices across the board.

            Where is Obama’s Father from? Where does his Brother live? Did he go to elementary and middle school in the US?? Nope, Indonesia. Have you read his book? He worshiped his Father. So, while he may have been born in the US. His desire to make his Father proud has molded him into who he is. He is a Kenyan at heart and is indeed a Socialist, his actions back this up. He can’t push too hard, our system of checks and balances would kick in and stop him, leaving him a target, this is why he does what he can to implement social reforms that are verging on…..Socialist :O

            Stock Markets are not a barometer of Economic viability, ask any economist or investment analyst. The reason the markets are performing well is based on an interest rate set by the Fed that is near 0%. A slight increase in the rate will knock the bottom out of the Market and it will be a nasty correction. Wait and see, it will be coming, most likely if Republicans win in 2016.

            The man says he doesn’t watch and you call him a liar. Wow….. So, by this logic, we can call you a liar out of the blue, right? For no reason at all, just call you a liar??

          • Justin Brown

            Why did Murdoch have to spend millions and go to court over lies?He won the case by calling what he does “entertainment”,the court ruled that they”didn’t have to be factual as entertainment can be fictional”.I suppose you the WWE “wrestling”is also real?They had to change their name from federation to entertainment,they should have made fox news change their name but they have many local stations under their banner that do some factual news.

          • kanenas101

            Except that “Fox News” is still called “Fox News” and not “Fox Entertainment.” Darn facts again.

            And WWE changed its name from WWF because of legal actions from the World WIldlife Fund, not because the outcomes of its wrestling matches are scripted in advance.

            If you really think WWE wrestling is fake, why don’t you go try spending five minutes in the ring with one of their performers and see how well you make out.

            It is only taking me minutes of using simple Google searches to prove you wrong by way of facts. That’s pretty pitiful.

            kanenas101, you actually believe in, and defend the people who have clearly disrespected your life, by frightening you with lies and racist propaganda, just to get you to vote Republican. They say it is easier to trick someone, than to convince someone that they have been tricked. Fox News has proven that to be true. So again, I give you a sincere HA !

          • kanenas101

            I linked to a scientific study that backs my claim. You are now officially a charlatan.

            It was not on Fox News either. You people are deluded and your reaction is the archetype by which all leftists are to be judged in the intelligence department.

          • Mlsflt

            The only person I have heard admit they tricked anyone was a fella by the name of Gruber. He said that Obama and himself, drafted the affordable care act and relied on the Stupidity of Voters to Re-elect Obama so he could implement it. Democrat voters did what they needed. They were as stupid as Gruber and Obama hoped. Sure wasn’t Republicans voting for him. So, must hurt to Vote for a person and they snicker and giggle behind your back and call you stupid. Yet they say WE have been tricked…..SMH

            Well, Misfit, the Stock Market is at an all time high, Government spending is at an all time low, the unemployment rat is under 5.8% Bin Laden and all of his top commanders are dead, Isis is on the run, gas prices are under 2.00 per gallon. and I just came back from the hospital, where I got excellent treatment, because my insurance did no turn down my pre-existing condition. Looks to me like our President is doing an excellent job. The failed accusation of a rumored lie does not in any ay tarnish the great work that the man I voted twice for has done. In fact, I am sure that if a Republican President had accomplished half of what Obama has, your party would have been erecting statues, naming schools after him and proclaiming him the best President ever. You, on the other hand, asked for an example of Fox news lies, and got several, of which you can not dispute. So again, I give you a whimsical HA !

          • Mlsflt

            Murdoch split his Company into two Divisions. Newsprint and Entertainment. Newsprint was…… God, it’s sad I need to explain this, but, here goes. Newsprint includes his magazines, newspapers and online media. His Entertainment Division includes all Radio and Television, no matter what they are classified. If its porn, documentary, news, sports, and on and on it is in the Entertainment Division, this does not mean it is purely Entertainment. SMH

            And we see the harm “Getting out the Vote” has done. They helped elect that buffoon twice and we are far more divided, much worse off financially and have had serious harm done to our system, via his use of “Executive Orders” to attack the Constitutional reach of his position. ACA, unconstitutional, revisions of the ACA, unconstitutional. Immigration reform, unconstitutional. Attacks on Libyan soil, unconstitutional. Be honest when you reply, had this been Bush or any Republican doing any of these things, you would be losing your mind over it along side of me. Instead, we will hear about how Bush used more Executive orders, bla bla bla. Putting a brass plaque on a park bench on the National Mall is an acceptable Executive Order. Violating Constitutional Law is not.

      “And yet, FNC still blows……”

      Enough said, sir.

      • kanenas101

        You just can’t stand the fact that this article is totally wrong. :)

        • http://utahhoneypot.com/ Dagbert Young

          The article didn’t say that Fox still doesn’t get the highest ratings. It said Fox’s ratings are falling. I know numbers and words are tricky, but I bet you can still work it out if you take a second to listen to what you’re reading instead of just jumping to conclusions.

          I’ll also tell you a secret: Fox news has the highest ratings because Fox viewers because of a simple psychological difference between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives put more stock in authority and prefer to receive their news from one source that backs up what they already believe. Liberals tend to be skeptical of authority and therefore don’t “trust” a single source. Ask liberals where they get their news and they will probably provide a handful of sources, dividing their viewership over several stations instead of focusing it into a single network. Make sense?

          • kanenas101

            Leftists are only skeptical of authority when a non-leftist is in charge. When a fellow leftist is in charge, then they tend to not question that authority.

            Case in point, up until the day this president was inaugurated, the left would scream from the rooftops “dissent is the highest form of patriotism.” Now that one of their own is in charge, dissent is not only unpatriotic, but “racist” too.

          • http://utahhoneypot.com/ Dagbert Young

            That’s incorrect. Current president has been challenged repeatedly by the left. Fox keeps telling you that President Obama is a liberal; he’s not. I’m a liberal, and I’ve protested policies I’ve disagreed with just like I protested thinks I disagreed with in the previous administration.

            But you’re really confusing dissent with racism. Airing your grievances about policy is important for a republican democracy. When elected officials share racist emails or an entire network references the President of The United States of America as a “thug,” that is racism. Do you see the difference?

            The more you write, the more I am convinced that Fox news produces a confused and fearful group of citizens. You are literally making me hate Fox news more.

          • kanenas101

            I’m not confusing dissent with racism. It is the left that has consistently painted political opponents of the president’s policies as racist even if the criticism has nothing to do with race.

          • http://utahhoneypot.com/ Dagbert Young

            You do realize that a critic can be a racist even if a particular criticism they offer isn’t racist, right?

            Their critique may be free from racism, but it’s impossible to not question the motives behind a critique directed at a person of color that comes from someone who has previously demonstrated racism.

            It doesn’t in anyway invalidate their critique, but it is a good reason to look at their critique with a healthy dose of skepticism.

            I feel like something is getting in your way of looking at things objectively

          • kanenas101

            So what? The president himself attended a racist “church” for twenty years and you people have no problem with that.

          • Mlsflt

            Dagbert is playing the intellectual “Ayer’s” type in this conversation. He is intentionally deflective and slippery in his comments. If you notice, trying to pin him down is like trying to nail jello to the wall with a nail. He has studied well, I will give him that. All I can say is, I wouldn’t waste time sparring with him, he isn’t going to change you. You aren’t going to change him.

            I loved the double talk. He said “Their critique may be free from racism, but it’s impossible to not question the motives behind a critique directed at a person of color that comes from someone who has previously demonstrated racism.” Does he know you? Me? John Doe from Saginaw, or Jane Doe from Tupelo? Nope, but, he has already in his mind judged anyone criticizing Obama as being a racist, otherwise, how can he question the motives of those of us that don’t agree with “a person of color”.

            In his world, we are not allowed to question a “person of color” lest we are instantly deemed racist. The belief that a white person can not disagree with a “person of color” without it being motivated by racism is an inherently Progressive Liberal belief, hell its a doctrine. It is a childish way of them demanding they get their way. That they not be questioned now that a half Black man is in the White House.

            Funny thing though, mark my words, the day Obama leaves the White House, all this racial crap will stop as far as the non-stop Liberal pablum dominating every talking point. We won’t hear any more about disagreeing with a “person of color” Should a woman win, it will become sexist to disagree with a woman, or should a gay man win one day, it will be wrong to disagree with him/her. As I said, it is just a ploy to get people to stop questioning their politician. They aren’t genuinely interested in the rights of blacks or women or gays, just that the right shut up and leave them to their devices.

          • JOHNNY J

            stop the hatin son, its unbecoming!

          • Mlsflt

            Whoa, whoa, whoa….. YOU are telling us he isn’t a liberal BECAUSE you don’t like that Conservatives can point to a whole list of promises Obama used to get elected and now after failing on about 90% of those promises, you can’t win arguments. So, now you and others like you, dismiss him as not being one of your own.

            Did you vote for Obama both times? I will guess the answer to be yes and I would not believe any other answer. Your ideological ways betray you. You can try to play the “slippery as an eel” role if you like, and try and distance yourself from him like the Dem’s did in the midterms but fact is, you are a self admitted liberal and you either voted for a liberal TWICE or, you got fooled TWICE by a con-man that convinced you he was a Liberal. Either way, you don’t appear as smart as you want us to think you are.

            We have dealt with people like you plenty over the last 6 years. The rules for radicals no longer works. Spades get called spades and we no longer play the games you people want to play. We have a two party system and you are either a Conservative or a Liberal, because he doesn’t fit your definition du jour of a liberal, doesn’t mean that he isn’t one. He got almost 100% of the Liberal vote, so, he is a liberal.

            Obama and his poisonous policies have hurt this Country and the Democratic Party needs to be reminded over and over again, so they don’t run a knee jerk candidate again, to get any Democrat they can into office, even one that is lacking experience and is dangerous.

            I agree with you, he is not a Liberal, in the sense of Liberals we are used to. He is a super progressive Liberal that lacks morals and has used his power to align himself with the rich Progressives, ensuring himself a nice cushy life post Presidency. Maybe you don’t know it, but, there are a lot of Liberals on Wall Street too and these are the people he is and has pandered to for 6 years. These are the people he has made rich. Some lucky ones, myself included, benefited from this via the Stock Market.

            Obama is a socialist. If you are half as intelligent as you want us to believe, you know this, he just can’t implement his true desires, because we wouldn’t allow it and checks and balances would stop him. So, to your comment that he isn’t a Liberal, true, but, for all intent’s and purposes, he is a extremist liberal in our two party world, he dam sure isn’t a Conservative.

            Or a well placed liberal troll, playing the role of the racist white Republican to a T. Happens a lot, especially on Yahoo comments section. Have linked hundreds of alias accounts on yahoo comments section to IP’s of Liberals whose main account is used often to bash the Right.

            I am a Moderator and have exposed in excess of 300-500 of these people, haven’t really kept track, but the numbers are way up there. There are some on the Right that do it too, but, the number is much smaller. So, next time you think that person that is being blatantly sexist and racist is genuine, remember, it may be someone playing a role, though, I bet that would be okay with you, probably would make you smile, hell, you very well may be Kurt Anderson. Most of the ones I caught were people replying to their own Alias account, to flame up the comment and get others to chime in.

          • http://utahhoneypot.com/ Dagbert Young

            I think it’s weird that you’re so passionately defending a news source. It’s not a church or a political party. If Fox was objective, honest, and simple, they wouldn’t need to create a victim mentality in its viewers. Constantly reminding them that they’re “under attack” by the “liberal media” and all that rubbish. It’s the oldest trick in the book, and it real news sources don’t need tricks to create this bizarre defensive loyalty I see from Fox viewers.

          • kanenas101

            I think it’s weird that you’re so passionately defending a news source.

            Oh so it is a news source. Thank you.

          • Mlsflt

            What I find weird is the left’s infatuation with Fox News. In my lifetime I have not said Fox News nearly as much as most on the Left say it in a week. Dagbert accuses you of defending it, yet, he and others like him are blatantly guilty of the exact same behavior except that they are trying to discredit it constantly. Pot calling the kettle black and all that.

            Hypocrisy knows no bounds when it comes to the left though, so, it isn’t surprising they see nothing wrong with what they do, but can condemn you for what amounts the same thing they accuse you of. LOL

          • Kurt Anderson

            List them.

        • jonjstrine42

          60% of the items on Politifact dealing with Fox “News” rated as either Mostly False, False, or Pants On Fire.
          If someone were lying to you over half the time, would you trust them?
          To list them all would take way too much time, so I’ll just say this: How many times has Fox “News” fallen for satirical pieces and broadcast them as actual news simply because it bashed President Obama? The correct answer is: more than once, the most recent being the whole “Obama’s coming for your donut sprinkles!” segment.

          • kanenas101

            Zzzzzz. Politifact.

            What’s next, using MSNBC to prove Fox News is false? How about Rolling Stone?

          • jonjstrine42

            So, in other words, you can’t prove politifact wrong so you simply claim their biased and therefore, you’re still right.
            Sorry. It doesn’t work that way. And I notice you didn’t comment on the use of satirical pieces being broadcast as fact. Too difficult for you to dispute? Can’t just claim “liberal bias” on that one so you just ignore it?

          • kanenas101

            And how do I not have credibility/? Because you say so? That’s a pathetic argument you’ve got there. And I have yet to see you post one indisputable fact. All I’ve seen is you parrot Fox “News” talking points. And that’s a fact.

          • jonjstrine42

            Oh, and I also read where you tried and failed to rebut an earlier list of provem lies told by Fox “News”. You seemed to gloss over quite a few things. Like Benghazi. Yes, Fox “News” reported that four people were killed. What you forgot to mention was that Fox also said President Obama was watching it live on video, that Hillary Clinton personally signed off on refusing more security, that this administration was covering things up (what was being covered up has never been fully explained either), that a “stand down” order was given. You kinda missed all of that, and all of those things have been shown to be lies according to the several congressional investigations, including those run by Republicans.
            Your rebuttal?

          • kanenas101

            Well yes it is true that neither the president nor the secretary of state at the time sent any help to Benghazi. This is evidenced by the fact…

            Now you see, this is where the truth comes into play, just watch…

            The fact that the compound was attacked and no US forces responded.

            So yes, they got no help. That is a fact, why is it wrong to report facts?

          • jonjstrine42

            And their reporting of a “stand down” order? Proven to be a lie by several congressional investigations.
            Reporting that President Obama watched the events live? A lie.
            Cover up? Lie, proven by congressional investigation.
            Hillary personally signed off on refusing extra security? Again, proven to be a lie.
            I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t refute any of these points? Care to tell me again how Fox “News” doesn’t lie?

          • Mlsflt

            The fact that 2-3 CIA contractors ran several blocks after a substantial time passed, to confront a force of 50-100 attackers is “Help” is laughable and proof to your willingness to fail to call a spade a spade, your interests lie in winning a misguided argument that is 100% off topic from the Article this comment section was for. You hate Republicans and you liked a false headline that tried to claim Fox News was hurting from its fight with Dish, so, you came here to gloat. Fact is, Fox News still has twice the viewership its next competitor has and when this contract dispute is over and it will be, viewership will return to normal.

            So you know. The contract dispute is a valid one on Fox’s part, they have provided 3 extra channels to Dish Network for broadcast for almost a year. They did so in good faith that when the new contract would be negotiated, they would be paid for future broadcast rights. Charlie Ergen refuses to pay. He has a history of this and in fact, just put CNN and HLN back on Dish Network after blacking them out for almost 2 months. CNN viewers were in the same position Fox News viewers are in now and they were equally angry, with right to be. What Dish and Ergen are doing is bad business and is hurting innocent customers to line his pockets.

            I would bet you are probably cut from the cloth of the 1% hater’s, so, you really should be on here hating on Dish and backing Fox News and their fight against a greedy CEO, but, your Ideology probably keeps you from seeing the logic in that.

          • jonjstrine42

            “Help did go to Benghazi,i, and I think one of the untold stories
            of the attack in Benghazi a year ago today, was the fact that when word
            hit the embassy in Tripoli, the CIA staffers, the contractors, as well
            as two JSOC operators didn’t hesitate for a moment.” - Samuel M. Katz, co-author of Under Fire: The Untold Story Of The Attack In Benghazi.
            What makes this more interesting is that it was said in reply to a Fox “News” host trying to say that no help was sent, much like you’re trying to do.
            Your rebuttal?

          • Mlsflt

            Speaking of, fox news regularly admits to its incorrect reporting. Something Politifact fails to mention. Other networks aren’t quite as honest, unless Fox News calls them out on their mistake.

How about Obama’s birth certificate is fake, you will go to jail if you do not buy healthcare, the ACA contains death panels, all the videos they edit to serve their lying agendas, the big snow storms prove that global warming is a hoax, and almost everything that comes out of Hannity’s, O’Reilly’s, Palin’s, Hasselbeck’s and Kelly’s mouths just too name a few. They cannot even list themselves as an news source, they have to call themselves an entertainment program because of all the lies.

          • Mlsflt

            Go to snopes and check out your claim of Fox News. You may have got that idea from the fact that Murdoch divided his company into two segments, Newsprint and entertainment, Fox News was put in the Entertainment division. Now, only ignorant morons would conflate this to mean Fox News is entertainment. His purpose was to have his Newsprint or Newspapers, you know, the stuff that is printed on paper, that you have to read, in one division and all Televised communications in another division. That is all this meant, but, that didn’t stop idiots like Jon Stewart from trying to spin it into some form of admission by fox that Fox News wasn’t news. People that bash Fox News don’t understand just how Orwellian they are in their desire to snuff out freedom of speech for half the Country, just because they don’t like the message on a channel watched by the “other” side. We all have a right to our opinions and that is what political preference is, an opinion of how the Country should be run.

          • kanenas101

            Where has Fox News reported the president’s birth certificate being fake as news?

            Yes they have reported that others have felt this way, but that would be reporting the truth as there are people who feel this way, even if those feelings are wrong.

            Yes you can go to prison if you do pay the tax for not having health care just like you can go to prison for not paying any other tax. Unless of course you are Al Sharpton.

            As for the death panels, again, google Sarah Murnighan for an example of those in action,. The first link is from ABC News.

            And as I linked earlier, a scientific study confirms that there hasn’t been any significant man-made (or any) global warming in the past twenty years. Now if you want to be a charlatan and deny science, by all means go do so, but that doesn’t change the fact that there is legitimacy to skepticism regarding man made global warming.

        • http://utahhoneypot.com/ Dagbert Young

          There are several good reports (and a few bad ones) listing the many errors Fox made this year. Look for the those that come from a non-biased source (PS fox news would have you believe that anything that disagrees with their claims is automatically “biased,” so it might be trickier for you to find sources you can trust outside of Fox—that’s how they get you) either way, if you’re too lazy to do a simple internet search for “times fox news was incorrect 2014,” then it is clear why you also prefer to receive your news from a canned, prepackaged, and processed source: less mental work.

          • kanenas101

            I see all news sources as biased in one form or another. But just because a news source is biased doesn’t mean it is lying.

            You people are the ones claiming that FOX News lies, constantly. When one of your pals tried to claim that some factual news stores weren’t, I rebutted him. As you people are the ones making the claims, it is incumbent upon you people to at least source them or prove them.

          • http://utahhoneypot.com/ Dagbert Young

            “You people?” “pals?” You’ve done a great job of espousing the “us vs them” mentality that Fox has been milling for a while. I think that’s one of the most dangerous ideas they’ve implanted into the conservative psyche. That there is are Fox News Followers and then everyone else. The more I see the results of that kind of partisan fervor the more sure I am that Fox is a negative influence on our democracy.

            And I never used the word “lying” I said they made errors, and they did … more than any other news network in 2014. I have no way of knowing whether those errors were broadcasted intentionally. Fox’s history of refusing to redact statements or make corrections when presented with new evidence makes me think their errors might be intentional, and that’s more than enough to stop me from trusting them. If you’re OK with getting information from a source that is wrong 60% of the time, I don’t even know what to say to you.

          • kanenas101

            Yes, you people. If words offend you then perhaps the Internet isn’t the place for you.

          • http://utahhoneypot.com/ Dagbert Young

            I never said I was offended. I just said you are espousing the “us vs them mentality” that Fox has pioneered. It’s the first news organization to do something like that (in a this country anyway).

            A pretty healthy percentage of what you write is made up of assumptions.

            In just a few blog comments you’ve managed to assume that everyone who doesn’t like Fox news is the same, that we’re all “Pals,” that I’m offended, that all “leftists” agree with everything the current administration does, and who knows what else.

            Assumptions and presumptions. Those are the hallmarks of gullibility. They’re easy things to fix though. Just wait til you have the facts before you form an opinion. Ask some hard questions even of yourself. There’s a whole world out there that you’re missing because you’d rather be right than have the truth.

          • Mlsflt

            Again, Dagbert, you only dislike Obama, because his failures have made it to easy for Conservatives to win wars of words in these comment sections. He fooled you and millions of others into voting for him twice, so now, instead of saying “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me”, you are happy to call him one of us, yes, you earlier insinuated Obama is a Conservative.

            He ran as a Liberal Democrat, he got almost 100% of the Democratic Vote and was supported by Liberals the World around, that Sir, makes him a Liberal, whether you like it or not. You do not get to define him, to fit your agenda’s and that is what this really is. You molding your surrounding world into your own reality and not that of the rest of us. You want to be right all the time and it comes across as quite narcissistic.

            I agree’d with you in an earlier post, Obama is not a Liberal, he is a Socialist, raised by a Communist Mother and Father and that is Fact. Yes I know what a Socialist and Communist is. He is a Socialist. He is smart enough to understand the United States has a two party system for all intents and purposes. So, being he would never pull the wool over the eyes of Conservatives, he ran as a Democrat. He got the vote of the stupid people on the Left (Thank You Gruber!!) He has aligned himself with rich Liberals in order to create personal wealth and maintain future opportunities. It is his close ties with Liberals on Wall Street and Liberal and Conservative Bankers that has you not wanting to claim him.

            I’ve gone over this time and time again with you Alinsky worshiping Progressives. When it isn’t so late, I will trot out 12 rules for radicals and point out each and every instance where you are taking a page from the book, so to speak, in your arguments here and in other comments. You seem to relish in doing this, whether conscious of the fact or not. Being able to deflect, dodge, discredit and demean people does not make one an intelligent person, it just makes you look like you are arguing by numbers (paint by numbers) or are responding to us with a copy of “Debating for dummies: Radical Leftist Edition” in hand. I point this out because the arrogance oozing from you is palpable. Your comments toward Kanenas101 are condescending, imperious, bumptious and presumptuous. :)

            Dagbert, there is only ONE, got it 1, uno, not dos, not tres, not 4 not five stations for Conservatives to get news from a Conservative viewpoint, just one. If you are left leaning Independent or a Progressive Liberal, you have a plethora of choices to get news that comes from your Ideological beliefs. If you don’t understand this, then refrain from replying, because you are too simple for debate or conversation.

            When there is only ONE Network for us and you have plenty, yet you and millions of Liberals want to shut down our Network and discredit it, of course sides are being taken. There is no war on MSNBC or CNN or NPR radio or any of the middle-left msm outfits, yet, Fox News is under constant assault by you and the left. In every comment section, every conversation, every liberal rag you pick up and read, you will find some form of Fox News Hatred in or on it. So, again, of course lines are drawn in the sand and it is you versus us. Your side forced this division, just like your side has forced the whole racial divide on us. You can not mention a White Conservative Male around someone like you or other Progressive Liberals without said White Conservative Male being labeled a racist with zero proof. Nice try at making it our fault though. What will you do for your next trick, accuse Conservatives of the Holocaust or 9/11 Oh wait, you probably believe we supported Hitler, being we are racists and there is indeed a large contingent of Liberals that blame Bush for 9/11. I guess you going there, isn’t to much of a stretch. Smh…..

          • Mlsflt

            MSNBC makes errors so often nobody watches them any more. CNN makes errors all the time, but, people on the right aren’t trying to keep track. We don’t obsess over it the way a lot of lib’s do. Its borderline neurotic with some of you, the hatred of Fox News. You do realize the Right has the Right to have a new source that panders to them, just as the left has its news sources that pander to them. MSNBC, NPR, etc etc. Get the f. over it, Jesus, if you people had your way, Fox News would be forced off the air. That would constitute suppression of freedom of speech. That is a slap in the face of what this Country, this Republic stands for and our Democratic way of life.

          • Green Glory

            Give one example of an MSNBC error, and then stack it against the Fox News lies. Then re- read the list that I gave you. then shut the duck up.

        • sfeighner

          You mean like Benghazi? Or Ebola? Or immigrants? Or Birth Certificates? You mean like gas prices going to remain high and reach 10 dollars a gallon? Or how Fox had the real poll numbers and there was no way that Barack Obama would be re-elected president? You mean like how ACA would fail? How mean how joblessness would keep rising?

          • kanenas101

            When did a Fox News report that anything other than at happened at Benghazi happened? The story as has been reported consistently is that four U.S. Ciitzens including the ambassador to Libya died and no one came to defend them. That’s not propaganda that is fact.

            The ACA is already a failure as six million people have lost their insurance and most people have seen insurance rates go up, not down. Unless you’re a mooch on Medicaid this law has not helped anybody.

            Joblessness is still rising but you can google the US labor force participation rate and see the official numbers from the US department of labor yourself.

            As for the birth certificate controversy, when did Fox News claim in a news segment that this president was not born in the USA?

            See that’s the difference between you people and normal people. I’d love for this president to be ineligible to serve, but I accept the facts as they are and don’t insist that things which are not true are such.

          • sfeighner

            Get out of denial and quit making stuff up.

    • oikos

      That’s because the majority of people get their news online. The only people watching fox are the 65+ crowd and they’re dropping like flies.

      • kanenas101

        Except that the facts show that Fox News still has the highest ratings in the 35-64 crowd too.

        • oikos

          I’m in that demo and I don’t know anyone who gets their news from TV. Faux’s “ratings” are linked to that 65+ crowd. hahahahahaha

          • kanenas101

            And yet, your personal opinions have no bearing on the facts. Funny how that works.

          • oikos

            Actually I am relying on facts. I think you’ve mistaken me with faux noise where personal opinions with no basis in truth are touted as factual. Nice try troll. BENGHAZI!!!!

          • kanenas101

            Except you’re not.

            The link I gave to the ratings in question proves your assertion is wrong, even though you want to believe it is true.

          • Mlsflt

            These people are starting to sadden me. I’m losing hope for our Country as I sit here. That last post from Oikos was pathetic.

          • Justin Brown

            Nielsen ratings aren’t opinions,they’re collected data.oikos is right about the demographic.

          • kanenas101

            Exactly, the link I provided cites facts, not opinions. That’s why oikos is incorrect.

            oikos provides no facts to back up his claims regarding the 65+ demographic though. I won’t make a claim either way since I’m not feeling bothered to look up that information and the link I provided doesn’t cover that group of people.

        • Green Glory

          HA ! You idiot, Fox News has the best rating, ACCORDING TO FOX NEWS, FOX NEWS AFFILIATES AND FOX NEWS PARTNERSHIP POLES.

          • kanenas101

            That’s Nielson ratings my friend.

            If you wish to go argue against the company whose job it is to calculate TV ratings, go right ahead.

    • sfeighner

      And more people eat junk food than healthy food designed to keep a person healthy, especially as they get older. Doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. The National Enquirer and Weekly World Report had higher readership than real news magazines. You are quite correct in your statement FNC still blows.

      • kanenas101

        The difference is that other news sources aren’t the healthy food of which you speak.

        Why hand out that level of credibility when it is not merited?

        • sfeighner

          Stop making stuff up.

  • boomer49

    I sent Dish an e mail telling them to stand up to FNC and that bastard Murdock…..they sent out a mass e mailing saying they were knocking $50 of my bill for one month!!!!! Keep the $50 and keep FAUXNEWS in the cellar!

    • Politically Incorrect

      Good to know Free Speech is alive and well (sarcasm).
      You don’t give a damn about DISH; You simply don’t like Fox.
      BTW, that $50 dollars isn’t free; it’s garbage like this that makes monthly fees rise. Those unintended consequences are a real b*tch aren’t they…

      • Dusty

        No what makes your rates increase is companies like Fox trying to charge more out of Dish. They already make all the money off the advertising but they keep wanting more out of companies like Dish and DTV. Carrier fees are crap and the fact that they want even more for them is ridiculous. How is Dish suppose to make its money when they have to pay fees like the one Fox is asking for. So they have two choices pay and pass it on to you or to hold their ground, this time they made the right choice. So which would you rather have Fox and a bill increase or a company that stands up for itself and your rate stays the same?

    • JOHNNY J

      i got a better idea! Take the 50$ and turn the channel like most smart people would do! why do progressives want to shut down free speech to everyone else?

      • VIsidore`

        Why do Republicans and Conservatives hate free speech when it relates to things they don’t like? For example, protest of police brutality, “Hands up” and “I Can’t Breath.” Protesters are called “thugs.” Athletes are told they should not protest. No where in the Constitution is a venue or time specified for free speech protests.

        I am an advocate of free speech no matter who says what on either side.

        • Politically Incorrect

          First of all you are conflating issues: Those choosing to use critical thinking and not pushing agendas first acknowledge that had EG, MB, et al, followed police commands, then there’s a high probability they’d be alive today. Police do not wantonly execute for sport and, more importantly, are being targeted by the Progressive, Rules for Radicals dogma creating its intended red herring and straw man argument of racism by white America originating from the Right and actuated by LE. It’s BS!

          Second, many “protestors” are professional agitators, while others, refuse to look at the facts on the ground conveniently playing follow the leader to the race baiters, and some, are simply clueless.
          Still, fellow citizens on either side aren’t required to remain silent against faux Free Speech issues nor does the Constitution conform and provide for anti-American activities based upon false premises to further subvert this Constitutional Republic.

          “I am an advocate of free speech no matter who says what on either side.”
          If the above is what you advocate then you advocate for one of many ‘big lies’ propagated by (R) & (D)s alike, IMHO…

          • Barry K Jackson

            This isn’t about free speech. This is business!
            Fox wants to extort the Dish Network and Dish isn’t having it,period.
            It’s enough that Fox wants to push their conservative dogma on as many people as possible,it’s another thing that they want to gouge Dish and it’s subscribers. Keep up the fight Dish!
            With any luck,Fox will take their dog and pony show elsewhere. Hopefully,the other cable subscribers will follow suit in future negotiations.

  • Green Glory

    I have new respect for Dish Network.

  • Everettel

    The Murdock Empire will go after Dish Co.,Faux Propaganda News is not good for America.

  • Wolf Graphics

    Cancelled
    Dish, and got Direct, better service, better features, better
    programing including FOX, and surprise, surprise! Monthly bill with
    Direct is “ONE THIRD” of what Dish was. If you have’nt already ditched
    Dish, do it now, You certainly won’t regret it. tell all your friends!

    • SpHawks

      You got the introductory rate for one year. It will triple after that. I’ve had Direct for 13 years and seen my bill triple to over $120 per month. they charge extra for HD…..who doesn’t have HD TV’s? Should be included. Dish is crummy so I pay. Satellite is my only option. Networks and cable news networks all have negotiated higher fees with Direct so we pay…..

  • Local Surfer

    Thanks Dish! I didnt need their propaganda anyway!

  • therain

    dish is tanking because they are losing viewers, a lot of viewers

  • Tiffany

    People actually believe that faux news brings truth when they have been caught manipulating facts by taking peoples words out of context. For instance: “We wont stop, we can’t stop, so kill the cops” what was really said was “We wont stop, we can’t stop, till killer cops are in cell blocks” They intentionally cut off the clip at “till killer cops” and proceeded to tell the viewers the people were saying “so kill the” instead of “till killer” This is not the only time they have manipulated facts to fool the fools who watch faux news.

    • Mlsflt

      And you didn’t know all news outlets do this?? CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, on and on….

  • Staci Levasseur

    And yet, even with their “low numbers” they STILL beat the pants off CBS and MSNBC’s COMBINED viewership numbers. How sad. :)

  • Joseph Woolston Brick

    Doesn’t matter if it’s Fox or any other broadcaster, all these guys do is make OUR bills go up, be it a fight between the broadcasters and cable/satellite companies WE are the ones that lose. Next week it will be CBS wanting more cash and then Dish or Comcast taking them off. Well I had enough of this crap and what I did was, I put an antenna up on the roof, pointed it towards NYC, I get 30 digital channels and that’s enough for myself. I don’t get the fancy cable channels and I don’t care, I’m through with pay television! PERIOD. I bet half of you don’t even know they broadcast for free over the air because you’ve been raised with nothing but cable and satellite for your whole lives. I have not missed cable one bit, nor will I ever go back to cable or dish in the future, I’m DONE with that whole scene. I get 30 channels most in HD and better quality than cable or satellite. Now if I could just figure out how to get rid of cable Internet I would be very happy. So long cable, goodbye satellite, you both suck.

  • Dunc

    Now if only DirecTV would do the same. Drop Faux News!
    It would help bring the political discourse back to considering real facts instead of Fox’s made up drivel!

  • david

    Makes me want to get the Dish. Anybody who watches Faux News is an idiot, but they’re probably too stupid to know it. So FU losers.

  • JOHNNY J

    when you have the best and most watched product on the market, of course it is gonna cost more!!!! that is capitalism!!! otherwise, what would the incentive to be to be the best???? otherwise we would be watching MSNBC on all the news channels!!! shit nobody watches!!!!

  • sfeighner

    It is a bit amusing to see Fox News, Fox Viewers and the Fox Marketing Machine being so anti Big Business. So much for letting the marketplace decide

  • Brett Taylor

    yea for dish, i wish more networks would do the same.

  • Stuart McDonald

    As I’ve said repeatedly, if DISH permanently bars all News Corp channels, especially Fox News, I will sign up for DISH and encourage others who despise Rupert Murdoch’s media empire to also do so.

  • David Molinarolo

    Jenna Duffy, you aren’t a Truth seeker…you are a liberal feminist activist. That a contradiction in terms. The sad thing is that people still watch MSNBC and CNN and believe them.

  • Tom

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • Somebody_Else

    Don’t forget that Fox “news” fought a court battle to be allowed to call lies they just make up as “news”. Can you really trust anything they say?
