You do realize that all the pissed off Trump supporters who are swearing off Fox News...

....aren't going to now magically start picking up Mother Jones or The Nation to get their information, right?

They'll probably do as my conservative mother in law does, and switch to One America News, which is just as bad--if not worse--than Fox. Or maybe just stick to their right wing radio hosts.

This is not some watershed moment here. This is nothing more than robbing Peter to pay Paul.

the viewers of the FOX debate will be ab all time LOW! That's one way to make dear old Roger suffer. No, not sugger financially, hhe's got enough that won't matter, but EGO! And for HIM, a badly bruised ego would hurt him more than anything.

Think about it - Alex Jones wants to be Donald Trump's BFF. There's Infowars fans who actively want to overthrow Obama and install Donald Trump as our new president without an election. Alex Jones is treading into very dangerous territory here.

fortunately OAN is only available to about 15 million people so a lot of us don't have to bother.

These douchebags will be back to fox news the second they forget what exactly was pissing them off in the first place. I'd say probably the day after the debate.

If I had a dime for everyone that's pissed off and sworn off something and then gone right back to it I'd fund a nice Caribbean winter vacation.
