Dear TV by the numbers,
My knowledge of TV ratings clearly exceeds yours. You should be putting network news in the same category as cable news. After all, there is no difference. And while youre at it, put comedy shows like The Daily Show and Colbert Report in there as well, despite the fact they are self-proclaimed “fake news”. How you people ever got your jobs is beyond me. I should be running your site, because I’m obviously smarter than you.
Sincerely,
Mark2
Well Mark2 just explain how Obama won the election. People vote against the GOP because they don’t like Rush, and other newscasters that are on none liberal channels.
FOX, MSNBC, CNN didn’t help anyone get elected. People turned on FOX if they were leaning GOP, they turned on MSNBC if they were leaning Obama. If they turned on channel news they were looking for someone to support their opinion.
I don’t see Fox news supporters saying Fox news ratings mean anything other then Fox news has the best ratings. It’s you sad little liberals that use ratings to try to prove that liberal and progressives are taking over the world.
Bobbyv—-
He’ll never get it.
Way to go Mark2, throw out the names. Love those who preach in the name of tolerance actually show their true colors.
Don’t worry, people have been doing that in here for months yet when the left start doing it in here those same people start crying.
Cathy–it’s like saying give you support of Green’s theorem and Stokes’s theorem. Support is EVERYWHERE but not on Fox Right Wing News. Cathy-I believe you said once you were a math major. If so, you should get this…..
Cathy and all right wingers–please call your right wing t-bags in the House and tell them to authorize extension of the debt ceiling lest the Stock Market fade. Sure some of these bozos have money in the Market even thought they are getting paid by the federal government.
RedBar,
Both sides do it but I do not, except maybe in response but even then try not to get personal. I am hardly perfect but Mark2 and I have had civil debates. I really should just let it go to be honest.
Hey did you hear where Steve Stockman, one of the dumbest men in Texas, unfortunately a congressman (this shows you how stupid his constituents are) is for the impeachment of Obama because Obama is trying to save children’s lives by enacting gun legislation. This is the same lunatic who in 1994 did not inform the government of the plot to bomb the fed bldg in Oklahoma city–he informed the NRA and they did nothing….
Hey right wingers, where are you ?????
USA8888 if you are going to put my name in one of your posts. Explain what the HECK you are talking about. “Support is Everywhere”. Support for what?
Stop trying to sound smart by naming mathematical theorems. You write like a wet behind the ears liberal college freshman.
““The White House’s recent announcement they will use executive orders and executive actions to infringe on our constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms is an unconstitutional and unconscionable attack on the very founding principles of this republic,” Stockman said in a statement. “I will seek to thwart this action by any means necessary, including but not limited to eliminating funding for implementation, defunding the White House, and even filing articles of impeachment.”
Where does he say anything about not wanting to save the lives of children? That sounds like liberal interpretation.
Cathy–maybe I am in the fourth grade but precocious in math. Would like to discuss Einstein’s field equations with you. I was referring to one of your comments which asked for proof–it is ubiquitous…..just not on Fox
Cathy–surely you don’t support Steve Stockman????? I hope..
@cathy, it’s called YouTube or Google research when the candidates hands remained down when asked about evolution or creationism may aid you with your dense…..I mean confusion.
Usa888………….To bad colleges don’t have a class on common sense that was required to get a degree.
Jeff and Usa8888 again it’s easy just give the link. Don’t tell me to google it. You must know where it is. What has our college system come to? When you write a paper and the teacher ask you for prove to you say “Do a google search?” If you are as education as you want us all to believe, you know the rules. They teach them to you in high school, your freshman year in college and every year there after. The writer has to provide prove of his/her statement when questioned. So, come on boys put up the links prove your statements.
You make yourself look dumb when you tell me to use google or youtube.
Ninja–maybe I am in the fourth grade. But please help convince the right wing House people to vote for the debt extension to avoid deleterious economic consequences. We don’t want the Stock Market to drop needlessly…. The moderate GOP is for the debt extension.
Hang in there fellas and ladies, I didn’t mean to ruffle your feathers with facts and a good ol’ reality check. However, sometimes you guys just need to be reminded how insignificant Cable News is in the larger picture of how Americans get their news. The only time it’s really significant is during breaking news or Election Nights.
USA888:
congratulations on getting to the fourt grade
Usa you are wrong on your information about Steve Stockman. He know nothing about the Oklahoma City bombing. What happened was after the bombing a former Orange County, Texas, Republican chairwoman who had ties to the Michigan militia faxed Stockman’s office and many other reps offices about a link to the bombing and the Michigan militia. Stockman notified the FBI minutes after getting the fax. He was the only rep who received the fax that noticed the FBI.
Do you make all this up are to you have a favorite blogger you quote?
