This crap right here is a prime example of the demographic to which Fox News caters.  They are incessantly pandering to the religious right in this country and their political agenda.  Fox News isn't news people.  I don't know how many examples we have to cite to get you to see that.

Brit Hume gave HIS opinion on what Tiger should do.............Big deal...........honestly if you don't like Fox News .....don't watch it.

every TV has a channel selector....use it....pretty simple.

btw, fox news is by far the leading news channel outlet......there is a reason for this.

people LIKE it...and the tune in to it.

btw, WHY is it crap for Hume to say HIS opinion on Tiger becoming a Christian?
it is called Freedom of Speech.....THAT is what he is exercising.

I don't have a problem with people exercising their right to state an opinion.  The problem is, there are way too many out there who see the collective "opinions" of Fox as absolute truths and they're not.  Fox needs to stop calling what they're airing "news" and call it for what it is.  24/7/365 opinions.  Not news by a long shot.

I think Tiger should become a Christian so that he can be a hypocrite just like all of the rest of them.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

How many times do you have to have the 'argumentum ad populum' logical fallacy explained to you?

If Fox News is the leading news channel, it is only because half of the population is, by definition, below average intelligence and they all watch it exclusively whereas viewers with above average intelligence typically get their news from a variety of different sources.

That is merely what you think.....these people that you are referring too, have minds and use them, and elect to dial in to Fox News....if the alternative was NOT so blatantly biased to the left, they would probably gain some share, but there IS a reason WHY Fox is number one.

Yes; I already explained it and you reinforced that explanation.

You have neither the intelligence nor the education to make that call despite your self-delusions to the contrary.

Nope, as a group, people who watch Fox don't know the difference between 'too' and 'to', 'they're' and 'their', 'seen' and 'saw' or 'was' and 'were'.

I would beg to differ HH.  I've chatted with many of the Fox News faithful and not very many of them have impressed me with their acumen.  They don't want to bother to think.  That's why the religious right would rather watch Fox.  Fox spoon feeds them what they want to hear as is cited in the example above by Hume.   

As far as them being number one, I'll refer you to Ex's explanation of the Appeal to Popularity fallacy.   :wink:
