Recent Controversy

The sad reality is that Fox News is not on our side anymore. Fox News is not a Christian, conservative news network. The only good thing left Fox News is Tucker Carlson. Other than him, no well-meaning conservative should watch Fox News anymore

This newsflash might surprise older Republicans and conservatives. It’s even tough for me to come to terms with this sad reality.

Fox News 2019

In middle school, I used watch the O’Reilly Factor on Fox News almost every night. In 2015/2016, I enjoyed watching Trump demolish his opponents in the Republican presidential nomination debates on Fox News. In college, I enjoyed seeing Tucker Carlson rail against the Republican establishment and far-left. Heck, I even made it on Fox News one time during a Trump rally in 2019.

In spite of all the personal memories, I know understand that Fox News has ceased being a conservative network. There’s been an undeniable decline in the “conservative quality” of Fox News in recent years–especially since the passing of Fox News founder Roger Ailes in 2017.

In the past week, Fox News has come under fire for a pro-tranny interview with a child who transitioned to becoming a boy at FIVE YEARS OLD. For context, Fox News has been celebrating Gay Pride month during the month of June.

The tweet below is from the Fox News correspondent who promoted Fox’s Pro-Transgender youth interview:

Here also is the video of the Pro-transgender interview on Fox News.

Fox News is not a friend of authentically Christian conservative people. This recent controversy has demonstrated that fact. At this point, “America First” conservatives have no real representation in mainstream conservative media. Conservatives deserve a better class of Conservative News than what Fox News has provides.

For the remainder of this post, I will briefly provide some examples of how Fox News has ceased to be a truly conservative news network.

Examples of the Liberalism at Fox News

1. Promoting & Hiring Bruce Jenner as a Fox News contributor

When the infamous transgender Bruce Jenner (a.k.a. Caitlyn Jenner) ran for Governor of California last year, Fox News host Sean Hannity hosted an interview with Jenner. Sean Hannity gave a platform to Jenner on the country’s largest “conservative” television network. Big Sad.

Then, Fox News hired Jenner as a Fox News contributor for the network in early 2022. This move is quite rich considering Fox News is afraid to interview America First conservatives like Nick Fuentes. Clearly, Fox News does not have an issue with transgenderism if the network hired Bruce Jenner.

2. The Firing of Lou Dobbs

In early 2021, Fox Business (subsidiary of Fox News) fired long-time host Lou Dobbs. His firing was a shock to many conservative viewers as Dobbs’s show was the highest-rated show on the Fox Business network.

From my understanding, Fox News fired Dobbs for his questioning of the results of the 2020 Presidential election. Right when Fox fired Dobbs, the voting machine company Smartmatic just filed a $2 Billion lawsuit against Fox News and Lou Dobbs (among others). So, the timing seems to indicate that Fox fired Lou Dobbs to cover itself against the ongoing lawsuit with Smartmatic.

Sad to see that Fox caved in this instance.

3. Fox’s Treatment of Trump at Debates

Back in 2015, then-Fox New host Megyn Kelly was a moderator for the 1st Republican presidential nomination debate. At the beginning of this debate, Kelly asked Trump a baited, feminist-inspired question regarding Trump’s past comments of women.

I find it pretty sad the leading “conservative news network” couldn’t’ stop one of its leading show hosts from attacking Trump from being a “sexist”.

Anways, here is a video of Trump and Kelly’s infamous exchange:

Then in 2020, then-Fox News host Chris Wallace moderated the first presidential debate between Joe Biden and President Trump. The first debate was an absolute mess. A long-time Democrat, Wallace showed his absolute hatred of President Trump through his biased questions. Come on, Wallace asked Trump if he would “denounce white supremacy”–a baited, leftist talking point.

Now, there are more examples of Fox News drifting away from authentic conservatism. But, this post is getting quite long. So, I’m going to wrap it up here.

Closing

The sad reality is that Fox News is no longer a conservative media outlet. Fox News openly promotes transgenderism on its network, so we cannot expect truly conservative views/ideas to come from this network any longer. I do not endorse anything from Fox News anymore other than Tucker Carlson’s show. Fox is the controlled opposition that the American regime wants, and the Murdoch family has accepted that role for Fox News.

Fox News is just a libertarian/fiscally-conservative & socially-liberal media outlet.

There are much better conservative media outlets than Fox News at this point. So, I highly recommend switching to other conservative news shows if you still watch Fox.

Something drastic needs to change at Fox News for things to get better, but I wouldn’t count on it. So, it’s sad day to know that Fox News is not on our side anymore.
