FOX  NEWS NETWORK IS GOING FROM BAD TO WORSE. I SAY TUNE THEM OUT.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

President Trump held a rally in North Carolina on September 9, 2019. I wanted to see  the President speak as a lot of people did.  But FOX NEWS NETWORK  fouled it up again for millions of viewers.

They literally are the only network that broadcasts the presidents rally's. But instead of letting television viewers watch the president conducting the rally from start to finish they chose to let their hosts get face time spouting the same old blabber and  speaking to the same old talking heads they use night after night. Like millions of other people, I tuned in to watch the presidents rally, not to listen to the hosts  of the shows sounding off with gobbly-gook spaced between five minute commercials every five minutes.

I suggest that if FOX is going to say they are going to cover the president's rally then  cover it  FROM START TO FINISH. I want to see in real time what the president is talking about. I do not want or need the hosts to tell  me and the viewers , "if anything important happens at the rally we will let you know." Personally,  I can draw my own conclusions as to what I deem important.

Wow! FOX has changed, and I have to say they have changed for the WORST. I stopped watching FOX network when they began running commercials every FIVE minutes, followed by five minutes of  viewing program time. Trump is making America great, but I think the FOX NETWORK is making television viewing lousy with five minutes of program information and then running five minute of commercials. Out of a one hour show the viewer only gets one-half hour of information and it bombarded with a whopping THIRTY minutes of commercials. In that five minute period they run approximately 10 to 15 commercials.

My question is: Why do television viewers want to watch a network or program that cuts away from the programming every five minutes and be exposed to five minutes of commercials? That is why I stopped watching FOX long ago, with the exception of  situations where the president speaks.

Since FOX began running commercials every five minutes any guests that appears on the shows are lucky if they get one to one-and-a-half minutes to talk on any issue. The hosts invite two to three guests to speak on an issue but when they present the guest with the proposed question the hosts use compound questions, and give an entire dissertation leading into the question, and then they interrupt the guest and doesn't let the guest  finish their opinion. Instead of  asking the question is one simple phrase,and let the guests respond, the hosts goes on, and on, and on.

I said it before and it's worth repeating- FOX NETWORK is presenting what I have described as "flash and dash" programming. The FIVE MINUTES  of programming is slashed  into one minute and one- minute-and-a half per guest. Then the hosts cut them off saying something like "a hard break" and goes to commercial FOR FIVE MINUTES. RIDICULOUS!

I suggest that if FOX wants to make more money off of advertisers and sponsors  they should  charge the  advertisers and sponsors more money. They should not cut television viewers screen time by running  five minutes (10-15 commercials) every five minutes. Since FOX gets away with this scam I have noticed other networks are following suit. Note: I stopped  tuning those shows in. For example DATELINE, since they started the FOX model of five minute of program and then a barrage of commercials for five minutes is a turn off for me.

FOX NETWORK should  return to the policy of  at least running the program segments for at least ten (10) minutes before commercials. Years ago the  standard was that the networks would air fifteen minutes of program content and then  three minutes of commercial throughout the hour show.

Folks, it's nothing but pure greed on their part when the television networks runs only five minutes of program content and then cuts away for five minutes of commercials.  That is why I made the choice to stop watching FOX NETWORK and other networks and programs that cut  the shows program by fifty(50%) percent.


I would hope that other viewers across the nation feel the way I do about how we are being scammed by these television networks and cable companies  and stop watching the networks that institute this policy.

Most households in the country own a television set and for many it is their only communications and entertainment source. A majority of these same viewers have to subscribe to cable to receive reception and pay  $90.00, $100.00, $150.00 and even more  for a monthly fee to watch their television and now with this five minute of actual show and programs and then  five  minutes of commercials they are clearly losing out.

If there was ever a reason to protest and take to the streets, this is it.  I believe this is an issue that affects every household in the country and people should begin  turning  off  the shows like FOX NETWORK that run commercials every FIVE minutes.- And, that's my opinion. I suggest you look and come to you own conclusions. You decide.
