THE TRUMP 2024 THREAD

Fox still has some conservatives but you can't deny the overall shift to the left.
I watch more of it during the day with my dad than I use to. I see the same formula they've always had. Mostly conservatives but they have some liberals who give their take on things. Before there was "Hannity" there was "Hannity and Combs." Combs was extremely liberal. Juan Williams is liberal. Jessica Tarlov. Chris Wallace was fairly moderate but a registered Democrat. He and Shepherd Smith are gone. What exactly are you seeing as liberal positions they are taking? They were very supportive of Trump, are very critical of Biden.

Colmes had a pretty interesting radio show. Always enjoyed the segment at the end where people would call in and often insult him. He usually had some pretty funny responses.

Thanks for that, was thinking his name was Combs. He wasn't a bad guy but in his arguments with Hannity he could get really off the wall. Hannity liked him personally and really took it badly when Colmes died.

No doubt they are still farther to the right than CNN or MSNBC but that isn't saying much.

Are you basing this off what you've heard or is it what you've seen? Channels like Newsmax make those claims to get viewers but I'm just not seeing it.

Overall I agree but stuff like this might have conservative Fox News viewers wondering where they might ultimately be headed.


"Fox News Channel viewers were stunned Friday morning when a segment on a transgender California teenager whose parents started the transitioning process when he was five years old aired as part of the network’s “America Together: LGBTQ+ Pride Month” series. In the gushing interview, Ryland Whittington’s parents claim that their child, who is a biological female, managed to tell them she was really a boy before she could even talk, and that by age five they started the transitioning process by cutting Ryland’s hair short, referring to the child as a boy, and dressing Ryland in boy’s clothing."

I missed that one but have seen Tucker rip hospitals who were conducting gender reassignment surgery and giving hormone blockers to kids. He's been very adamantly against all of that and if Murdoch's sons were looking to promote transgenderism they'd have stopped him from doing so. Haven't seen it supported there myself but that is concerning.

I think this election has emboldened the DOJ to actually indict and prosecute. He appears weak and if DeSantis were to start talking about “law and order” and “no one is above the law”, he has the gravitas to seriously deflate Trump support and further his own ambitions.
good luck with that . sounds like liberal spin to me.

If your side indicts trump they will create a political crap storm especially with a republican house.

Might depend on whether the Republican Party is finally ready to cut the rope on Trump after a very poor midterm performance. He’s a big drag on it.

I guess you haven't noticed CNN's move away from the left?

A move away from a constant hard leftism featuring Jim Acosta style thanks to the new boss this year but certainly not a shift to the right or really even to the center.

They’re simply watchable again for people who aren’t flaming comrades. Which is of course being interpreted as a shift to the right in the eyes of many flaming comrades.
