Podcast: An alternate universe: 7 hours with Fox News. Part 2

I watched Fox's entire evening schedule, from 5 pm to 10 pm, plus morning "Fox & Friends." They are all the top rated cable news shows in their time slot. This is what I observed. It was painful.

Last week, I recorded seven hours of Fox News: on Wednesday, April 16, the one-hour evening schedule of “The Five,” “Special Report with Bret Baier, “The Ingraham Angle,” “Jesse Watters Prime Time, “Hannity, and “Gutfeld!” On Thursday morning, I endured two hours of “Fox & Friends.”

In Part 1 yesterday, I shared my general observations of the shows and provided examples of the content from several of them. Today, I pick up the narrative at 8:00 pm, along with a review of the 6:00 pm news hour, and finally, my conclusions from this little exercise. To recap, this is not an exhaustive accounting of every segment of each show. That would be exhausting. Rather, it's a purposive sample to convey the flavor.
