The fallout between cable news viewers and Fox News has been going on for a few years but was escalated during the 4 years of President Trump’s first administration, and came to a head on election day with what appears as highly orchestrated collusion with the Joe Biden campaign to give him a lead he did not deserve.
The Fox News Decision Desk was supposed to be above the political corruption that dominates cable news, yet in the end, after many promises to be fair, Fox News betrayed at least- over 73 Million voters with their partisan “calling” of states for Biden and ignoring states for President Donald J. Trump.
Bret Baier, an anchorman on the network, has shown his hostility many times toward Trump supporters. Toward the president, so many people expected his emotions about Trump and unfair coverage to taint his reporting. Now he has admitted he was wrong last Tuesday night when he broadcast a message from the highly faulty “Fox News Decision Desk.”
“Democrats have clinched a majority in the House by reaching 218 seats,” anchor Bret Baier announced on Special Report Wednesday evening.
NOTICE THE WORDING
A Newsman wants credit for predicting something- very obvious- right, after getting many things terribly wrong.
“There are still a handful of races undecided. On election night, the FOX News Decision Desk correctly predicted soon after 9:00 Eastern that Democrats would retain control of the House. But they also estimated Democrats would add about five seats to their majority,” said Baier.
On Election eve when things were looking very strong for Trump to win the election in a huge landslide, Fox News and Baier were pivotal in drawing down enthusiasm with a series of calls, and at one point had the Democrats in a blow out, taking far more seats then they would later actually win.
It was the perfect set up and gave Biden the opportunity to go to the media to broadcast this victory, and then to start acting on his victory, further shaping public opinion that he had won.
Does the little “walk back” help restore trust in Fox News reporting?
No. It doesn’t and it won’t. It is unclear whether Fox News actually wants to reclaim the millions of viewers they chased off.

We have watched Fox for years. However, they became VERY DISAPPOINTING in calling the election for Biden. I’ve always felt Fox WAS fair and balanced even though Baier, McCallum and Wallace are Democrats. Slowly their bias became evident. I believe TRUE journalists keep their feelings in tact and should only deliver the news.
Democrats, like petulant children in their arrogance, they believe if they scream loud enough, throw tantrums, deny everything, call us names, demoralize us, refuse to take responsibility for their actions, and blame their imaginary friends for devious actions, they will get away with anything,
Dems are trying to pull off the largest and most dangerous voter fraud scheme in modern American history.
Well, not this time, Democrats. You have over cheated and all is being revealed. Your lies and corruption are on full display for the entire world to see.
We watched you panic on November 3rd, 2020.
We watched the realization set in on you that President Trump and the entire Conservative Republican down-ballot field was going to crush democrats in a Historic defeat.
As the reality of this massive defeat was unfolding before your very eyes, you panicked and activated your pre-planned election fraud mechanisms.
You activated the nationwide ballot fraud cells and activated the previously uploaded cyber-fraud algorithms in order to flood and flip fraudulent voter data into the state-level systems. You did this to such an absurd and glutenous degree that your fraud became instantly evident. Immediately, everyone watched as you carried out this massive election fraud and we, the world, watched this all unfolding in real-time.
The entire world watched you do it and within an hour, the internet was on fire with the specifics regarding what you did and how you did it.
No rational, intellectually honest human being on planet earth can deny what you did.
What is most telling is that not one person is even surprised THAT you did it.
We were all surprised, however, at how monumentally bad your execution was.
The entire world watched in real-time, the sloppiest and most disgusting attempt of election fraud in American history.
Now, no one believes your lies, not even your most ardent supporters believe you.
We the people were all struck by a unifying bolt of lightning that night. November 3rd, 2020, we the people watched the Democrat Party declare war on the American people.
We the people have never been more aware of just how corrupt and criminal the Democrat Party has become.
We, the people, are finished with you, the democrat communist party.
We are no longer listening to you and we have no interest in indulging you or your vicious mind games. It’s over for you.
The only thing we care about now is bringing you to justice for the attack you launched against the American people.
You are confirmed frauds and you are Traitors, and you are going down.
Americans indulged you for a season because you were once an important part of us. The democrat party used to remind us of how important it is to be kinder and more selfless. That Democrat party is dead, you killed it and this thing that you have become is no longer a part of us.
We reject you entirely.
The democrat party has become the enemy of all that is good, honest, decent, and moral in America.
The democrat party is no longer democratic.
The democrat party has been hijacked by something dark and corrupt and it is nothing but a destructive criminal organization.
The democrat party is now an anti-American, terrorist installing, criminal organization that is totally controlled by the Chinese Communist Party’s mafia.
The moment you betrayed us on November 3, 2020, and unleashed our own Intelligence Agency technology to flip votes, you turned US CyberTechnology weapons of war against the American people.
You intentionally used this United States Owned and Controlled Weapon of War Against The American People.
Your actions ceased being isolated and random acts of cheating for a few votes. When you activated the cyber intelligence weapons and stole these votes from President Trump and the down-ballot candidates, your opponents, you declared war on the American people.
The highly organized vote fraud network installed by the Democrat leadership constitutes intentional and malicious fraud and most sobering, High Treason against America’s interests and against the American people.
The Democrat Party and its leadership conspired, colluded, and conducted an act of war against the American people on November 3rd, 2020.
You have fully exposed yourselves to us and to the world. We have testimony, confirmation, and ample evidence now that you are, in fact, a clear and present danger to our Republic.
This makes the Democrat Party and those complicit in these acts of war, the enemies of the American people.
Complicit broadcast media, leftist print organizations, news network producers, talking heads, The AP, Twitter, FB, Instagram, Youtube, Google, Journalists, and more are all complicit in this treason and therefore accessories to these crimes.
The egregious election interference efforts by media through censorship, information control, information blackouts, blocked, and delete truths, misleading fact-checkers supplied by the CCP, the constant lies, slander, harassment, attempts to intimidate, threaten and terrorize the American public by demanding we hate what is good, hate who is good, and overtly demands that we heal and submit to your illegalities are no longer effective.
Your demands that we only condone, support, believe, or approve what democrats dictate as acceptable, no longer hold any persuasive power or influence over us.
We fully and completely reject you. All of you.
So, Treasonous Liars, your time is up.
The intellectually honest citizens of America and, in fact, the entirety of the population of planet earth, see you for what you truly are.
We will never again indulge your insanity, listen politely to the sound of your grating voice nor will we comply with your ridiculous demands.
We will never again trust you or believe anything you say.
We are not interested in your, justifications, excuses, temper tantrums, or arguments.
There is no way out for you now. There is nothing you can propose or do or say that will stop what is coming to you by way of the American people.
You have betrayed us and broken our trust. You have destroyed any interest we may have held to extend goodwill to you. The good people of America were once willing to listen to you but you have destroyed every illusion we once held in our hearts for the Democrat Party.
We have witnessed your treasonous, nefarious, unprecedented, and catastrophic attempts to thwart the will of the people.
We have watched in horror as your corrupt, arrogant, greedy, elitist NWO, CCP controlled comrades in the democrat party and media schemed and conspired against our country, our President, and our citizens.
You’ve demanded we submit to “your” democrat ideologies and societal designs but now we see, this is all based on lies. All nothing more than a covert operation designed to force indoctrinated Americans to submit to the will of the Chinese Communist Party.
You are the leeches on the pond of life and serve only to enrich yourselves.
We will not look the other way, we will not be quiet, and we will beat you. Your mission has failed.
You and the thing formally known as the Democrat Party, are a clear and present danger to us.
We hereby declare The Democrat Party and all those complicit in not acting to thwart these acts of Treason, to be a lethal and imminent threat to our Republic. We officially declare you to be an enemy of the American People.
Your fraudulent, thieving, evil condoning, young mind-warping, Communism indoctrinating, American History wiping, poison fueling, mentally abusive, racist, bigoted, demoralizing, and demented plans have backfired on you like a Recoiling Hammer that swiftly bounces back and smashes you right square between the eyes.
This is a self-inflicted knockout blow to the formally esteemed Democrat Party.
Our solemn vow and mission in life are to demolish this Democrat-communist regime and banish you from our country.
You’ve worked so diligently, yet foolishly, to install on the shores of America and in the halls of our great capital destruction.
To put this in simple terms, Democrat Party,
America is going to kick your asses and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.
To all the hissing and spitting, low comprehension worker bees, activists, and democrat communist drones save your breath and your outrage.
No person of integrity can disagree with our position on this so, any noise from you is just that, noise.
So, brace for impact minions because many of your esteemed politicians along with the complicit and corrupted bad actors in the media are going down for their acts of High Treason and Crimes against the people.
The penalty you ask? Prison if they’re lucky, worse if God is in an especially good mood.
Additionally, we hold the entire Democrat leadership and the cowardly and complicit Rinos in the Republican Party responsible for enabling this treason to exist on our soil, and for allowing these destructive forces to take root in our institutions.
We hold the complicit corporate elites, big tech, Media, and all who financed and supported this treason accountable. Whether support was provided via funding, intimidation, or censorship of our citizens, you are complicit and at a minimum guilty of substantial election interference.
We hold the CCP responsible and vow to end all financial and consumptive support of all things made in China, with the stated goal of nothing less than supporting the complete and utter financial collapse of the Chinese Communist Party.
We, The American People, declare these predatory entities have now become the hunted.
The destruction of you is now our favorite sport and hunting season opened on November 3, 2020.
The American People are powerfully and deeply bonded. We are one and we are brave.
We are fully committed to bringing about the absolute and total destruction of the criminal organization formally known as the democrat party.
Americans are good and honorable people and thankfully, we have The Constitution, the 1st and 2nd amendments, reason, clear knowledge of true history, and a comprehensive understanding of the deceptive and destructive nature of Democrats.
Your stealthy manipulation of everyone and every situation, your parsed words, your fake rioters, your fake crisis’s and fake chaos and fake news is all useless to you now.
This knowledge and our intuition will serve the American people well as we fulfill our duty to bring your criminal organizations down.
We will use the powers and protections afforded to us through the Truth of The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, and our just and fair laws.
By The Grace of God, legions of warrior angels, the most powerful fires of the Holy Spirit, the spirit of discernment, and the powers granted to the highest human court, The Supreme Court, we will bring you down. Take note democrats, the Supreme Court is no longer controlled by your compromised activist motivated judges. True Constitutional Loyalists are now the majority seated on our Supreme Court, thanks to our beloved President, Donald J. Trump, the people’s President.
Unlike Democrat politicians and activists, we the American people are on the right side of history.
We have no need to burn down cities or loot or terrorize our neighbors. We won’t take to the streets and murder innocent children for political points. we won’t use any of the democrat’s extreme and disgusting tricks in order to accomplish our goals.
Every step you take from now on will further serve to expose your corrupt intentions and reveal your misguided and demented motives.
Your treason is forever seared into the hearts and minds of the billions of human beings who are now committed to your demise.
We are all watching you from around this beautiful world. United, we are watching your every move, reporting your every misdeed, and you will not escape our wrath.
Unlike you, we strive to be moral and honorable beings. America controls the moral compass for the entire world.
We are the shining light on the hill, the refuge, the holy grail. The world knows it, you know it, and we know you know it. We will not let you destroy it.
So, NEWS FLASH you treasonous bastards, we outnumber you by billions and we are coming for you. This is NOT A GAME.
President Donald John Trump won reelection by an absolute landslide and President Donald J. Trump is on FIRE for America. He is your worst nightmare.
Once President Trump and his team redesign the voting systems and technology for this country, democrats, as you exist today, will never win another Federal Election.
You will become feckless and obsolete. We will discard you into the trash bin of history and thank God for giving us this divine moment of clarity.
Trump is coming for you and he’s bringing the American people, God, and the Good Citizens of the world with him.
America belongs to us, we the people, and we are taking our country back. We want it ALL back. Our institutions, our freedoms, our churches, our patriotism, our history, our entertainment, our quality educations, our security, our jobs, our peace of mind, our morality codes, and our right to be able to trust the elected officials to carry out our wishes.
We are taking our country back. We want it all back and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.
The American People
I would have loved to have read your piece, but it was so long that I did not bother. Maybe just a paragraph or two would suffice.
Couldn’t agree more Zenfrog!
Literally just the last paragraph sums it up.
I am a school teacher and, I think, a good person. I am a mother with 2 children (grown) It makes me sad that you see me in this way. I hope in some future we can see each other as Americans again. The right and left wings are part of the same bird, we don’t have to think the same to like one another. I hope you have an amazing day.
I read it all. No one could have said it better than you. I’m glad it was long, you made your point to the Democrats, a paragraph or two says nothing. Thank you for taking the time to write it all. WAY TO GO! Grade
This is amazing! Every word spoken for every American!
I read your entire comment and was so taken back with emotions. So perfectly written from the heart, what a great patriot you are. Everything I feel wholeheartedly was put intellectually by you. Thank You for every word!
For the most part Brett Baier has retained journalistic anonymity. However, he has been slipping lately, and I now watch only Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity.
A few others too, but mostly you’re correct – they’ve been slipping into Fake News territory.
They seem hell-bent to make themselves just more fake news rather than remain distinguished. The new owners / managers may ask, “so what’s your point.” Anyway, they just hand Newsmax a huge opportunity.
I will not watch in the morning anly longer. Used to watch and respect the talking heads on weekdays and weekends but the true colors came out with Ainsley Earhardt and her tweet and also Jedediah Billa and her holier than thou attitude. Ms Billa assumes that since she was an principal and teacher that she knows all. NOPE.
Then the fall from grace also came with the hire of Donna Brazille and Marie Harf. Seems that Murdoch brothers feel that they want to run the media company into the ground.–tax write off perhaps. One of the Murdoch brothers wife even tweeted about how it was really in the fix.
While I appreicate Tucker, Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin, I have stayed away from the Fox News for a bit now.
Me too.
Great article Kari. I have been an avid Fox News watcher for many years, however election night although we had it on, I also luckily had social media sights on as well, thankfully so, because it was so in our face that they were blatantly lying to us and swaying their leftist opinions. We are now an awakened society on so many levels including spiritually and there is no going back. I will never turn Fox News back on. I even now have my 86 year old mother watching another news channel. She said her anxiety level has lowered tremendously. MSM is dead, they did it to themselves when they treated our duly elected President so horribly bad, and we watched it happened in real time. It’s over for MSM.
Unfortunately, Fox higher-ups have been alienating conservatives for a few years now. It did not matter to them that conservative viewers kept them on top of the charts and it did not stop them from giving the middle finger to their conservative base. Let their ratings sink lower than the other fake news media outlets. Any of the appreciated, they know who they are, hosts can go to Newsmax. We will watch them there, not on Fox. Good bye and good riddance Fox. You dug your own grave.
Well, my only opinion on this is that it is a foolish business move, which surprises me coming from the Murdoch family. Fox pretty much had a captive audience of almost the entire Conservative population in the USA. Rather than have to fight for ratings and advertising dollars as all the left media outlets do, FOX never had this issue. To me, it is an economics error of age proportions, but it is also a massive opportunity for a group or groups to fill that void.
For arguments sake, lets say that the USA and it’s 330 million people are divided 50/50 (+/- 5%) with 30% uninterested or too young to care, leaving roughly 220 million potential viewers. If you say that roughly 110 million watch FOX and lean right, thats a massive number of people to irritate. If you take 5%- 10% who believe they were wronged and are motivated enough to ‘boycott’ then you have a lot of viewers gone, which will drag advertising away with it. The left has (predominantly) students who are motivated to boycott, protest, etc while on the right, it is (predominantly) employed, lower-middle and to a much lesser extent, middle-middle class (middle class being defined as $49,000 – $145,000/ year).
I guess what I am getting at is I believe that this will pinch FOX in the purse strings because the loss of 5-10 million viewers will have an affect on the price of advertising. Let’s not kid ourselves here, those sitting at home all day, watching Gerry Springer or whatever other mind numbing shows being broadcast, are highly unlikely to discontinue watching FOX stations, but that group does not make up the majority of household spending.
Just my opinion, but I think it’s likely that FOX will wait until the SCOTUS and the Electoral College announcement before they decide just how much, if any, pandering to their viewers they will do in an attempt to get back the lost revenues from some messages that were not traditional FOX like messages.
Don’t you think it all started (the down fall) when they removed Roger Ailes and then Bill O’Reilly and finally Eric Bollin. No thank you for paying extra a month to get your channel.
I have watched FOX since 911. My husband watched them but that day changed everything. November 3 2020 felt like 911 all over again. FOX broke a trust. In the 11th hour, conservatives nationwide were left scrambling to find our voice. Ultimate betrayal
Done with Fox! Jedidiah was the first phony to raise my ire! What a travesty! Martha’s blue dress on election night was the end. Shame on you for deceiving loyal followers. I have written Tucker, Sean and Laura to say I hope they will abandon the sinking Fox ship. Bunch of Vipers!
“FAIR, Balanced & Unafraid”… Really? Bret? Election Night was a Shit Show.
Plain & Simple. I did not mind when the channel pulled more “center” a little more “Left” in our faces… But still do-able. But the BLATANT, in our Face Lies Nov. 3,2020… Too Much.
TOO Far… I’m Out!! I immediately Canceled my Fox Nation Subscription. And tuned into OAN.
Fox News is MSM, FAKE News…
ALL the Mask Came off. Sad Day.
Cope.
I VERY MUCH enjoyed the reply by Cottage soul. It spoke exactly what The true Americans feel. I wish it could be shared with the world to read. As for Bret Baier and the rest of FOX, you made a really bad move in supporting the war against the peoples true choice. What ever happened to journalists being unbiased and just reporting without working to push their own narrative. I WAS a devoted Fox follower but NO MORE.I refuse to follow in the shadow of traitors.
What’s up with the crocodile tears??? Is he trying to win an Academy Award??? People like Brett Baier, Sandra Smith, Chris Wallace and ALL of the women who show their fat legs on Harris Faulkner’s show are the reason I’m NEVER watching that network again. I probably left someone out. I’m tired of being lied to and betrayed. This DIVORCE IS FINAL!!
The Democratic Party has become a Treasonous organization that has evilly worked to overthrow the legitimate Republic of the United States and make her a Socialist government that would make all of the people slaves with a ruling class of people like Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Chuckie Schumer and others. This traitorous group of enemies are domestic ones and under the Constitution must be tried for treason and the right punishment applied. Their work with the CCP has endangered our National Security and their refusal to enforce the laws of this nation is an outrage and affront to every honest American Citizen!
Wow – I am glad so many Americans are seeing the sunlight. I too have switched pretty much from Fox because the Election night was the most revealing. I happened to watch FoxBus & Lou Dobbs called it where Neil Cavuto didn’t see the obvious. Since Benghazi, I have watched ALL hearings, did research to see what I could find, follow politics & all the corruption in Washington, only to see Fox sell out our country to get rid of President Trump. I thought I would throw up the next day after witnessing the real time treason against this Country, including Fox. I am still watching Tucker, Hannity & Laura on Fox. I am still watching FoxBus with Lou & Maria. I cannot see why any of these people would stick around if they continue to lose viewers. Anyway, thanks for sharing what I am feeling, just to know we are all in this together.
