TV News Updates: Fox, One America News, Newsmax

Here’s a chunk of JD Rucker’s article at NOQ Report a few days ago:

Fox News revealed its true colors on election night. At least that’s the common narrative spoken in conservative circles. But the truth is more nefarious, more sinister. Fox News has been quietly working against President Trump and conservatives since shortly after his election. They just did it stealthily and attempted to shift their network and their formerly massive audience to the center.

This is why they must be pushed even further. If there’s one thing we can say about CNN, MSNBC, and network news channels, it’s that we know the enemy well. There is no subterfuge in their ideology, no false pretense behind their actions. They are progressives, unabashedly, through and through. That makes them less dangerous than a network like Fox News who hides their true intentions. It’s better to face a wolf in the woods than a rattler in your sleeping bag.

What we saw on election night was them turning on the faucet of what had previously been a drip campaign. They did not want to lose their audience too soon, not as long as they could continue to manipulate them. They wanted to carry the mantle as the only major news channel conservatives could go to with the expectation of not being bombarded with Trump Derangement Syndrome. But what they gave us was subtle. 

Read the full report here.  Our household has removed Fox from our “Favorites” menu.  We’ve tried a little bit of Newsmax, which can be accessed online.  But we have decided to turn the dial to One America News Network in prime time.

OANN’s daytime news coverage broadcasts on roughly one-hour cycles.  Once you’ve watched one hour, you’re going to be seeing most of the same reports in the next hour. But it’s the 8pm and 9pm weeknight slots that have interested us the most.

Dan Ball is the host at 8pm (“Real America”).  It’s an opinion format, similar to Tucker Carlson’s, but we had never watched him before, since we were always on Fox, with or without the Mute button.  Mr. Ball is accessible, informed, and refreshingly in-your-face with his conservative values.  His guests are a mixture of A-listers as well as unknown but excellent resources on various topics. And he lets them talk!  Without interrupting!

The 9pm slot is hosted by Kara McKinney (“Tipping Point”).  Her delivery is a bit stiffer, but considering how young she is, she puts a lot of her commentary into historical perspective. She also has good guests.

We’ll continue watching and report again in due course.
