What Kind of Conservatism Does FOX Shill For?

[7,052,770]

Yeah. She won by 3 million, 2.4 million of which was from Los Angeles County.

You can pick any 3 million of her votes and call that her margin. They all count the same.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Fox News (remember that Fox on the Pythagorean letter number thingy equals 666) basically acts like it's 1994 in America and won't let it go.

[hopper]

I've noticed this about FOX, particularly with Hannity and O'Reilly. The constant fearmongering about ISIS and Iran, the kissing up to Israel, demonizing pot, the constant proclamation that cops can do no wrong, and other habits, have all brought me to conclude that they are not stuck in 1953, but 2003. Do you agree with me? What kind of conservatives buy and large run FOX?

Hannity-He thinks the political climate is in 1985. As far as O'Reily goes I haven't watched him his show in awhile but he takes shots at both parties and I think he is pretty fair.

Doesn't actually matter since the winner of the Presidential Election doesn't get elected by popular vote anyway.

I think FOX is basically in terms of idealogy is basically Mainstream or Reform Conservatism except for Hannity who is on the fringe on the right on the political spectrum. Hannity maybe not be as far-right as his friend radio host Mark Levin but he still is pretty right wing. Hannity is basically follows "Tea Party Idealogy" even if "The Tea Party" fad went passe a few years ago.

[Deblano]

Neoconservatism mixed with Right-Wing Populism.

[Tartarus Sauce]

American Conservatism is dead.  Trump exposed it as a hollow shell for anti-intelligence and populism.

The winner of the Presidency is determined by who wins the Electoral College not the popular vote.

More like 1954.

FoxNews is part of the new trend towards "Echo Chamber" news stations where you get the news you want to hear.

CNN is exactly the same on the other end of the spectrum.

They don't count where it counts......

Plutocracy, just like all conservative media outlets.

FOX is Reform Conservatism?   Maybe there's some of that among a few people there, but overall it's quite the opposite. Their market strategy is to do everything possible to keep people comfortable in their intellectual and political habits and not reforming anything because that involves critical self-reflection, which they believe is too much to ask of the common man.   Hannity is more a shill for the GOP than for any ideology, aside from feel-good apple pie jingoist nationalism. He'll get 100% behind Guiliani or Trump if he believes that's the way the wind is blowing.

I say Neoconservatism because they won't stop shilling for Israel and fearmongering about ISIS like it's still in style to focus wholesale on the middle east in your policy.

[pbrower2a]

...a high-tech version of feudalism in which most people are veritable serfs in debt-bondage to their economic masters.

[All Along The Watchtower]

Whatever their focus groups determine is most popular among the Republican voting base at any given moment.

[publicunofficial]

General reactionary conservatism. Everything is a threat to you and your family, and action needs to be taken NOW.

I don't believe FOX alters it's message to push certain policies, rather it's just going after whatever gets the usual Fox audience riled up.

I am frankly getting tired of hearing about Israel already. ISIS is still a threat though.
