FOX NEWS IS GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY.  CANCEL CULTURE SEEMS TO BE TAKING ROOT AT FOX. BAD NEWS, WHO NEEDS THAT. NOT ME.

THE KUHNS REPORT

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

I used to watch FOX NEWS NETWORK religiously but over the past few years I switched to other networks.  I feel that Fox News has let their viewing audience down by running commercials every five minutes and short changing the audience of program content, plus taking on some of the cancel culture and eliminating  hosts like Lou Dobbs, because he had strong views  favoring former President Trump.  In addition, each show host runs the same media clips over and over passing them from one show to the other. Shows like Hannity, Ingraham ,Watters run these media clips over and over again. Their shows are mostly media clips and very short on program substance.

Fox News  guests are lucky if they can get their views and opinions across within one to one-and -a-half minutes before the  long, long FIVE minutes of commercials pop up. Come on, having FIVE minutes of alleged programming and the FIVE minutes of commercials is over the top. And in addition to the pre-programmed media clips, long drawn out dissertations and sermons leading into a question for the guests are common place. with these hosts. They ramble and go on and on before they finally ask a question of the guest. (Like these hosts don't get enough face time during their show already.)

As to these show hosts really getting  relevant information out, as far as I'm concerned it's just a big bust. It's a dog and pony show. It's what I call "flash and dash" news.  I feel that if guests are invited to offer their opinions on an issue, these hosts should JUST ask the question without the long lead in of their of pablum babble, get out of the way, and allow the guest(s) to give their side of the issue WITHOUT being interrupted by the host. 

The Fox News hosts  gripe, complain, snivel, and whine about things happening in  this country but continue to fail to nail down the guest as to any solutions to the problems facing America. The hosts are always complaining (i.e. " they are brainwashing our kids in school," "the schools and colleges teach and promote leftist and socialist agenda's," or, "these riots  occurring in our cities  have got to stop," and it's a SCARY situation, etc.

The Fox hosts have these congress people right there in front of them but never ask these lawmakers directly what they themselves are doing to correct the situation(s). (i.e), Senator, what steps are you yourself taking to stop the indoctrination of  our young children in the school? Or, what specifically are you yourself doing congressman (name) to stop this socialist teaching in our schools? Are you presenting any bills or are you writing legislation to rid our schools of this indoctrination. ( Note: Or any other subject/issue under discussion.) 

The Fox hosts have the unique opportunity to receive specific replies to direct questions from these politicians but instead they have a kumbaya dance allowing the politician/lawmaker to parrot what the host is saying. Most lawmakers appear on the shows and say things as, "it's scary," Note: (I would like a nickel for every time in the past few months that these hosts and lawmaker guests use the words, "It's scary) Or, "we've got to put a stop to this." Or, how many times does the guests say, "Americans understand what's happening," or the "American people understand". Folks, of course we, the American people understand. What we Americans want to know is how these congress people are solving the situations in this country. However, these Fox so-called hosts refuse or will not insist  on a specific rely as to how the congress person themselves who are being interviewed are taking steps to correct the problem they are  griping and whining about. The hosts refuse to hold these politicians feet to the fire. Hell, everyone in the country knows it's a "scary" situation (i.e.- riots in our cities, attacks on our law enforcement, Antifa, BLM, the indoctrination happening in our schools, teachers unions, etc.) 

We the people who are viewing the network want direct, specific answers from our lawmakers. We want to know exactly what steps these congress people who appear on the show are taking to solve the problem, a solution. We don' need to hear these hosts complaining and sniveling, saying things have got to change and then giving the congress person guest a chance to whine and complain also, without telling us viewers how they themselves are  taking specific steps to solve those problems, matters being discussed. 

As I stated in prior blog posts these Fox hosts spout the line they speak for themselves and are not told what to say but I recall seeing Bret Bair and his co-host shut down a guest for talking about possible fraud in the 2020 election. So, apparently there is some subjects and issues that are taboo for discussion on Fox News Network.

I also said, in my opinion the only informative show on Fox News is the Tucker Carlson Show. Hannity, Ingraham, Watters and others with their repeated  media clips  and constant interruption of their guests is a big, big turn off. That is why I switch to OANN (One America News.) I believe and suspect that Fox News is losing viewer audience and will continue to do so unless these hosts stop the constant media clip -o-rama's and start interviewing their guests with the purpose of demanding specific answer and solutions. 

Folks, any five year old can sit in front of an audience and moan, groan, gripe, complain and snivel about some issue but never offer any solutions or actually hold these congress men and women to the task of telling us what they themselves are doing to resolve the specific issue/matter being discussed. 

These TV hosts have the congress people right there, in front of them, but they are failing to do their job of pinning these lawmakers and politicians down for relevant answers. Instead, the TV hosts allow these lawmakers to  fill  their speaking time with talking points while not saying what they are doing to solve the problem.- And, that's my opinion. I suggest you consider the situation and come to your own conclusions. You decide.
