Title: FOXNEWS...
Post by: Henry Hawk on January 11, 2007, 09:11:34 AM
If Fox is so biased....why is it they have soooo many viewers....??

Could it be that they ARE the most 'fair and balanced' and certain liberals just don't want to admit it or cannot see that????


I think so...


Cable News Race:

FOXNEWS O'REILLY 2,498,000
FNC HANNITY/COLMES 2,189,000
FNC GRETA 1,473,000
FNC BRIT HUME 1,319,000
FNC SHEP 1,315,000
CNN DOBBS 1,106,000
CNN BLITZER 825,000
CNN COOPER 658,000
CNN ZAHN 611,000,
MSNBC OLBERMANN 605,000
KING 544,000
MSNBC HARDBALL 502,000
CNNHN GRACE 496,000

Henry, Id venture...and this is guesswork on my part...that its because Fox is the only right wing major news channel.
For what its worth, I dont see much bias in the reporting of actual news from any of the sources, but Foxs "personalities" lean right (well, some dont lean that way...) and the other major news personalities lean left (again...some fall over left).
So, all the folks who identify with the right leaners have but one choice. The left leaners are spread among several...

Personally, I have a crush and Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly.  I can't speak for the rest of the peon masses.  Maybe we were all conceived with weak sperm.

I get my news from the Internet new sites (Foxnews.com included).  I just can't stand watching any of it anymore.  I find by reading it, I don't have to listen to a couple of annoying, political puppets argue over the same thing over and over and over and over...I find what interests me and skip over what doesn't.

But that is off topic...

The number of viewers doesn't necessarily indicate a level of bias, IMO...or something.

Number of viewers does not equal number of believers.

Interestingly...
Condi "loves" Fox. http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/11/rice.reut/index.html

Now who would a right winger LOVE? Someone fair and balanced? Or someone who leaned toward their views?

I think 'fair and balanced' would be what someone like Condi SHOULD want, because she needs to know what the honest issues are...but, heck yeah, it is much easier to love someone who is not going to attack every move you make...

well of course its what she SHOULD want. Any of us should want an honest assessment of ourselves, but face it--most of us prefer it if people just blow smoke up our arses.

I've never had that done, so I can't speak from experience.  :biggrin:

But I do agree with the connotation.
