Maybe true…and what percent actually watch CNN, or CBS, or MSNBC? If there is 1% watching Fox, then the viewership of any of the others doesn’t even register in single digits, right?

IMHO, it’s a little convenient how anybody bashing on Fox pulls out the “1% number, but conveniently leave out the really low percentage of any of the competitors, which don’t even register as a whole number on the percentage scale.

Also, when I hear and read the white house is angry at FOX, I’m reminded of an enemies list a certain President had. This is why FOX slaughters it’s competition because the American people know a conman when they see one. The so called press of CBS-ABC and NBC are not being honest with America and America knows it.

So good for FOX, keep angering the Administration, call them on every point you can, hold them accountable, question their motives, do what the press is supposed to do…go after the facts, report on what is known regardless of who gets angry.

Fox News is or used to e constantly used as a reference point, a case in point for something ridiculous, biased, right-wing. Whether or not that’s true, it’s worth noting that that’s the Image its brand hand, at least in the more left-leaning sectors. (I’m really thinking more The New Yorker rather than CNN.)

I’d be interested to look back (read: i’d be interested in having someone else look back and tell me what they find) at what was going on in february and then through this summer…The Obama Administration I think has been very vocal about their distaste for the network, and I wonder if this vocalization might not correspond with the rise in Fox News’ ratings.

When Bush was in office and Obama was running for President, possibly getting unfair coverage on FOX, FOX was on the inside. Now with Obama in office, they’re on the opposite side of the political power spectrum.

A news organization Should be critical of whatever the current administration is. Maybe this change in political dynamics accounts for their boost in ratings. John Tantillo did a post on his branding blog, arguing that the Obama Admin’s opposition to the network has brought out the fact that Fox is a “brand winner.”

This is the reason why high unemployment is bad for the current administration. More folks at home watching FNC, more votes lost for the next election.

Excuses, excuses. People watch OPINION SHOWS (Beck, Hannity, O’Reilly) foe entertainment. Clearly you’ve never watched thier News programs. Typical ignorant liberal.

Also, keep in mind that very few people actually watch Cable News…only 1% of America actually watch FOX News.

Good lord AK. Come on! Grow up will you. GB never “skiped out” on his military duty. In case you didn’t know, CBS was DEAD WRONG and had to apologize. And GB did try an illegal narcotic before, but who cares what happened 40 years ago! If I’m not mistaken, Obama experimented with drugs too. But I guess thats fine with you. Because he’s Obama!

The fact that you immediately go after Bush when I mentioned BO socialist past shows that you can’t defend him. Sure you can spew childish insult and say racist and stereotypical remarks, but everything Beck has exposed of BO past is true, and you know it.

People still voted for a former drug addict who skipped out on his “military” service… twice. So maybe, maybe not.

James, consider that 50% of the polled Fox watchers are self-identified independents and Dems. So unless you believe independents and Dems are racists or “birthers,” you’re just making unfounded emotional statements. Insults like yours are typical, expected, and boring. Please bring factual numbers to make an argument.

His number proves it. Actually ever since Glenn joint Fox in Jan 16 2009, Fox’s number has gone up, largely is because Glenn.

Thank you Glenn!

Thank you Glenn Beck program’s research and production team!

You guys are doing Americans a huge service.

Yes they are. They are the kings of kink: http://foxnewsporn.com/

LMAO

Ahh, I knew it would only take so much time to smoke out the racists being the Republican heavy readership in these parts.

You’re right. All killers are non whites and they all smoke a lot of weed. The good news is they are not as scary as non whites from another country…Right? We “agree” on that point? Non white and non Christian = terror! Scary! Run!

Oh heck, I have lots of time. Just waiting for my welfare check and the local shelter happens to have broadband. “Lucky” me…

Ed

Yep, Overbite makes fun of Fox. Mentions them all the time.

And they continue to ignore him.

And they continue to trounce him.

He’s like a guy who trash talks while getting skunked in a game of one-on-one. There’s a comical element to it…but in the final analysis it’s pretty pathetic when all the other guy has to say is one word:

SCOREBOARD!

Ed

That must explain why the majority of a prison populous is black and Hispanic…because most of the white Christian males are killing everyone. You’ve been on this thread all day…progressives must smoke a lot of weed.

How many white Christian men killed Americans in America last year? I am guessing a lot being there is an average of 45 murders a day and this is a majority Christian nation. So while you were taking a few minutes to design out your post on how “teh muslems r plotten” it is quite likely there was a white male Christian murderer that killed another American in this the United States.

Why doesn’t he stoke racial hatred and fear at every opportunity like the commentators on Fox “news?” Clearly they have the racial and cultural hatred niche covered…

Sure…except Fox “news” did not do that during the Bush Administration and now 100% of their programming is devoted to discrediting, not questioning the White House.

It is one thing to ask questions. It is another to ask questions and then provide answers convenient to your corporate agenda.

he’s on FNC every weekday at 4:00pm CST

Thank God for the Becks of the world.

Keith Olbermann’s vocabulary is : Palin, Cheney, Palin, Cheney, Palin, Cheney. Move ON, grow up, Keith Olbermann and his boyfriend, Rachel, need to grow up. They are both psycho.

Riiiiight, and the tooth fairy is real, haha.

American’s do want balanced reporting, but Fox is not an option for said balance. It very predictably “reports” the news making sure to spin everything to intersect the daily RNC talking points. It used to be the White House talking points as Scott McClellan embarrassingly shared, but when the Elephants got booted from that residence, they lost their script.

So yes, if you are a conservative – Fox “news” reports all the sides of the story you want to hear. Just don’t actually believe there is anything fair and balanced about Fox “news.” Fox “news” is specifically tailored for Republicans, which is why you all like it so much…

Oh, the irony.

Oh boy…

Actually, it was higher than that but stopped by and threw in a token vote for MSNBC to see if I could get them to start suspecting each other of sedition…

I’m not sure I can take any site seriously that posts in its poll that FOX News is the favorite news source for 89% of respondants when only 1% of the American population tunes into the network.

Nahh, the majority of Americans dislike if not hate Sarah Palin. She is good fodder for slow weeknights in liberal circles – although I do see where you are going with this…Making a joke the focus of your show in effect turns your show into a joke. You could be right on with that point.

Anyway, since you bring it up – KO was NOT EVEN ON his show last night. He has been away quite a lot over the last month or so…

A good example would be anyone who uses the word socialism to define the current administration and has no idea what it really means in historical or present context.

>Also give an example of FOX not reporting what is really happening.

There is an entire movie about this called Outfoxed or just head over to http://mediamatters.org/ and dig through the daily distortions. Yes, it is a liberal watchdog group so take the commentary with a grain of salt – but make sure to read the contextual documents/videos and decide for yourself.

Give me an example of what a radicalized wingnut is. Also give an example of FOX not reporting what is really happening.

I constantly read allegations without any examples. This can’t be good for the country. How am I supposed to react to a series of negative generalizations that have no merit?

I watch MSNBC, CNN, ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, PBS News, BBC America et al in a constant rotation, depending on the mood I am in on a given night. I like a broad spectrum of news sources.

The radicalized wingnuts only watch Fox because it is the only channel on the dial that will tell them what they want to hear (not what is happening.)

Take it as you will.

Did it take you a while to come up with that or do you jot down Glenn Beckisms on Flash cards while smacking your head against the wall at night? Just wondering…

Ya, ya…Fox “news” is really popular with the ultra radicalized right wing base of the Republican party (at least what remains) and the more they are sidelined by progressive America, the more rabid they become in their viewing habits. This is a surprise?
