3. Possibly, but unlikely to happen.

We don't trust them. Unless they completely revamp and get respected journalists who are less biased on the network, it is very unlikely that any liberals would ever watch.

If they go for unbiased news, then they would be just one among a host of "vanilla" news competitors from CNN to Headline News, to MSNBC, and so forth. What set Fox apart was the obvious right wing bias and that they had a fan base in which 70% of conservatives only watched them. They will never get that kind of "loyalty" from liberals. We like to get our information from a bunch of different sources not just one.

They dumped Dump, it appears. Maybe they can just play true crime shows all day and night.

because they continue to tell them what they want to hear. And no doubt will for the foreseeable future.

7. Maybe they'll turn conservative like CNN is liberal. Mostly tolerable. I would really welcome..

... a home for non-Trump conservatives. I wish I had a link to Thomas Friedman talking about the need for a healthy conservative party as well as a healthy liberal one. I really do endorse that.

11. I wouldn't call CNN liberal.

Sure, most of them don’t like Trump but they tell the truth about him. They don’t spin things in a liberal direction.

8. Fox Research

Nov 2020

I've noticed a shift - their polling and data research was actually fairly good this year, and there was a very definite tension going on between their research organization and their entertainment side, especially in the last six months or so. I know that news organizations are going to have biases, but the ones that are taken seriously are the ones that generally are accurate, and I get the sense that they're realizing that so long as they are associated with the far-right, their brand isn't going to be taken seriously.

Doesn't mean I will go to Fox as a news source, only that there are encouraging signs that they're beginning to realize that it isn't in their best interests to continue lying.

Mainstream news and polling reflecting reality, only to have the opinion slots maintaining a complete 180 degree narrative. Oh wait, that's what they are now. hmmmmm.

Watters is one of them, It seems to me that Watter's think Trump is going to offer him something.

Until the evening lineup of Tucker, Hannity and Ingraham changes, nothing will change. Those 3 are their bread and butter ratings-wise.

I can't help but think of that story he liked to tell at rallies, something like, "you knew I was a snake."

They can attack the Biden administration with all the gusto they used on Obama.

Just to attack Biden isn’t nutty enough
