So... Do you think Faux Noise will crumble when Obama is Pres?
I'm hoping that their viewership goes down the toilet when a lot of these dittoheads realise that the country thinks they're crazy.

I know there's still that 30% out there, but people like that tend to be very tribal, and may well just follow the bandwagon.

That's what I'm hoping anyways!

2. No, they will kick into high gear...
Criticizing and damning everything the Obama administration does.

15. I think so, too
It's going to "energize their base."

6. They'll probably do better.
Especially if we get a stronger congress.

8. They'll do better than ever.

Nothing like being the underdog.

While Clinton was in office, we had right wing nuts like McVeigh running around. When Bush took office, they went into more acceptable places like radio.

I'm concerned that we'll see another spike in racist and violently anti-government types if a Democrat takes office. No matter how many times it's been proven false, these idiots will still blindly believe that the Democrats are going to take their guns, etc.

9. I don't know about viewership
But there's still the few that'll only watch that channel. And that network will do nothing but criticize and question every single one of Obama's actions.

10. You've never heard such whining as you will hear
after Obama wins. And there will be big advertisers that will eat it up.

11. Answer = you bet.
The Faux news networks haven't realized it yet, but the BOSS MAN is now in charge.

Remember the bogus debate about 1 month ago? Immediately afterwards, Obama started complaining about the content. His deep loud voice boomed "45 MINUTES" that's all we got. 45 minutes.
That very day, ABC news got the thrashing of its life. there were several hundred thousand complaints, phone calls & emails went in loudly complaining about the "debate".

Guess who holds the power to shut off those whining weenies?

12. They think talking about bad things in Iraq is bad news and not good in wartime

Wait until Obama becomes Prez.

13. No. They will thrive on doing what they've always done .... support the right.
An Obama win is just another win. Nothing special for the vast majority of Americans. He will be easy to hate and Fox will abet that hatred.

While Bush may be down to 30%, the country is still not on our side. We remain a divided nation.

14. It would be nice
doubt we'll be that lucky, though. Plus, I don't think the dittoheads care if the rest of the country thinks they're crazy, as long as there's a face on TV telling them they're not.

17. No, they won't fold.
They will have endless fodder for complaining once Obama is in the White House.

18. Fox will do 2 things paradoxically
Fox will suck up for access while at the same time trying to tear down anything Obama does which they don't like.

19. faux noise will set speed records on the swiftness in which they
completely re-orientate from drooling sycophants to foaming attack dogs. Every little nuance of a Dem administration will be subject to intense scrutiny and non-stop criticism. These people truly hate America, have no interest in the REAL cares or concerns of the people, as long as they are marching around in circles spreading the talking points of the oil companies, or the union busters or the health insurance executives or who ever it is this week.
