I just read the headlines Posts: 4483	My mom hasn't had Foxnews for 2 days and now she is hearing CNN is down. Mom said she heard a CNNreporter asked Hollary a question that made her mad. She listening to Rush.

BHW Resident Surgeon Posts: 25352 Location: Bastrop, Texas	Maybe a stunt designed to be a distraction. At this stage, I'd be leary of any sensational stories that might serve to distract from the two hottest topics related to this election: 1.) Clinton Inc....illegal server, emails, Wikileaks, Veritas, and pay-for-play scandal. 2.) ObamaCare, which is the one huge thing that is hitting the vast majority in the pocketbook....HARD.

Tell It Like It Is Posts: 22025 Location: Wyoming	Fox News was out here this morning but is now back on. It seemed to only be Fox News and didn't disrupt Fox Business . I like Varney better anyway. :)

Elite Veteran Posts: 926	I've had it happen twice. There is no way this is an 'outage', well it is but it's not a glitch. Odd though, they didn't bother FBN, guess the didn't think about that cuz they talk political there as well. This is a bit scarry.

Expert Posts: 1956 Location: Ky	Oh no!! How will people get their Faux News?? Hell, just make up the news. That's what they do. Maybe Ailes ran out of women to sleep with? If so it's only temporary. There's enough women will to sell out to get on Faux News.

No Tune in a Bucket Posts: 2935 Location: Texas	CNN was out 2 morning recently. Don't know for how long because I left but the other channels appeared ok. Doubting very seriously that they would block CNN and FOX. What exactly would that accomplish?

Maybe Ailes ran out of women to sleep with? If so it's only temporary. There's enough women will to sell out to get on Faux News. You are a treasure trove of hypocrisy, Mr YellowDog. Ailes was forced to resign in the aftermath of his scandals. He's been shunned. Elliott Spitzer, on the other hand, the Democrat Governor of NY, was forced to resign after it was revealed that he had spent taxpayer money for prostitutes while governor of NY. In contrast to Ailes, he was rewarded with his own program on CNN. Just to be "fair and balanced" I will illustrate that my criticism is bipartisan by pointing out that I was equally harsh in my criticism of former South Carolina governor Mark Sanford for his peccadilloes. In that case, I was equally harsh in my criticism of South Carolina for rewarding Sanford by electing him to congress. That's the difference between you and I. You are refractory to learning and congenitally incapable of criticizing any Democrat. That fits the definition of a Yellow Dog Democrat. All that matters is the party. It's nothing new. The only thing that mattered to the Nazis was "the party".

Common Sense and then some Location: So. California	Seriously, if you want FOX news, log on the internet. Since BOTH CNN and FOX were having the "glitch" seems to me that there is no conspiracy... but I don't get my news from just one source, as it's only an opinion these days.
