I prefer to think of it as sweet justice when the ratings are released. Before I discovered Fox News I was an MSNBC watcher…so I know how that channel conducted itself on-air…and I was fed up with the way the prime-time hosts degraded and made fun of those whose opinions they disagreed with. On Fox News, and even on CNN, you get both sides and there’s no condescension from the hosts. Chris Matthews was a turn-off to me several years ago when he was making fun of George W Bush’s rugged, outdoors clothes during a video shot at a ranch. The video shown Bush clearing brush and doing normal activities in that environment but pompous Matthews feels the need to wonder why Bush is dressed in those clothes and clearing brush in Crawford, Texas. I felt like reaching into the television set and going “excuse me! what did you want Bush to wear? suit and tie?”. It was one of those Chris Matthews “I’m better than you” moments. After 9/11 when Bush was stirring up feelings of patriotism and support for a potential war, it was Chris Matthews and company at MSNBC who took it on themselves to by-pass the national mood and inject their politics into it by down-playing everything and shrugging off now-historic moments in the 9/11 aftermath, all for political points with the Democrats.

that would explain a lot, lol
