Fox News Channel celebrates 25 years on the air

[Counselor706]

Fox News Channel launched exactly 25 years ago*on October 7, 1996 and the network will celebrate the milestone throughout Thursday. Check back throughout the day for more clips marking the anniversary.

"It was a bold innovation, everybody laughed, nobody thought it would be successful. Not only did we very quickly become No. 1 but we’ve been able to maintain that No. 1 position for a long period of time," Sean Hannity said on "FOX & Friends."

However, a quarter-century later Fox News has a lot to celebrate and recently finished the third quarter of 2021 as the most-watched network in all of basic cable among both total day and primetime viewers. It has now topped cable news for 79 straight quarters.

"I created a TV network for people 55 to dead. Nobody believed it could be done, but I did it. It's for guys who sit on their couch with the remote all day and night."

Fox News:

Fox News Channel, a.k.a. Fucked News, Faux News (by people who don't know how to pronounce "faux"), Pox News[4], 7ox News[5], "Bullshit Mountain",[6] America's Pravda,[7] and so forth, is an American cable and satellite news channel whose owner News Corp perpetrates all sorts of right-wing slants and sensationalist headlines back home.

The name "Fox News" is misleading at best; the channel is better described as entertainment, like the National Enquirer in audiovisual form. Unlike other news organizations, Fox News does not have a department of ethics and standards, and does not publish ethics guidelines.[8] Fox News is generally extremely reluctant to retract fake news that it spreads, such as that about Seth Rich.[8][9] Conservapedia now regards Fox News as "a promoter of the homosexual agenda" (!) and a "RINO backer",[10] which only goes on to show how many more screws loose they have.

Are you saying Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Tucker Carlson, Tomi Lahren, Laura Ingram, Newt Gingrich, and Sean Hannity are assholes?

I’m impressed with your knowledge of all these Fox News hosts and guests. They ought to give you a loyal viewership award!

The most punchable face on Fox (only because Ted Cruz does not appear regularly).

Know your enemy.

And those pieces of human garbage are definitely the enemy of American democracy.

Those are just the names I know from them being racist and/or misogynists. And the lawsuits.

Worse, this media environment has produced outlets that make Fox look like rational responsible journalism by comparison, such as OAN.

Did Murdoch understand what he was starting?!

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

It’s remarkable how many Libs watch Fox News. It appears Tucker Carlson draws the most viewers from the board, but all the hosts and guests on the network owe you a huge debt of gratitude for helping make Fox the dominant cable news network.

I don't watch any network news. I just see clips of Fucker quite often....mostly because he's a douche who many people hate.

Similar with Jay Mohr......people hate him too.

The Left controls every other media outlet, but that isn't enough. No, for there to be Prog nirvana, all heterodox voices must be squelched.

My bad, I didn't qualify my scope as being television media. Of course, OANN exists, but I think maybe 3 or 4 cable systems carry them.

christ, rightwingers are worse than apple or tesla fanboys. it's a fucking tv network. who gives a shit how old it is.

lol, the majority of cable systems carry many of what I mentioned.

But yes.....this isn't the 1980s, media is all over the place.

The comments from lefties on this thread indicate they care a lot. And they pay a great deal attention to the programming. Tucker Carlson seems to be the one their eyes and ears are most glued to.
