Among the other things tromping everything on Fox "News" are two episodes of "WWE Entertainment," two episodes of "Hannah Montana," and several episodes of -- wait for it -- "Spongebob Squarepants!" Yes, a cable cartoon was consistently watched by over four times as many families as the hottest show on Fox "News."

LOL. I wish had more hands, so I could give this four thumbs up. Regardless of your political leanings, this is why this country is fucked. Or maybe this is why there's hope for us after all, more people have realized you can learn more about being a decent person from watching nautical non-sense than all of the cable news channels combined.

No, the reason this counry is fucked is that most people don't care about anything unless it affects them personally. Jesus Christ, reality TV (public humilitation ) is the most popular form of entertainment in this society. What makes you thing anyone cares about anything other than the next 6 pack and American Idol?

Economy turning around with 9.5% unemployment and rising!? Let's just say that if the economy is improving(and it has yet to be proven), Obama's policies have done nothing to turn this economy around when not even 10% of the "stimulus" money has been spent. You keep deluding yourself into thinking that Obama has all the answers when in reality he is the emperor with no clothes.

The signature comes from bumper stickers that read, "Bush lied, Americans died" if you must know. Obama lied about the stimulus and how it contained few earmarks, how it would halt unemployment, and create jobs. The massive printing of money will undoubtedly lead to inflation in the future. It also applies to when Obama repeatedly vowed "you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime." That will soon be proven another of his lies.

First off, I didnt say Obama's responsible for the economy improving. I just said that it was turning around. YOU implied that it was his fault that it was bad and I pointed out that it is rediculous.

the economy is turning around ALL of the economic indicators point to that - that facts are that unemployment ALWAYS lags 6 months or more. When the economy dumps, job loss starts 6 months later, when it improves, jobs dont start getting better until 6 months after that. If you knew jack about economy, you would know that.

I know, we all know the source "when Clinton lied, no-one died" slogan... It was stated to show Bush was a liar about things that were far more severe than his own penis. The thing is those slogans make sense, and "Obama lied, the economy died" doesn't make sense. Obama didnt kill the economy - all the things you think may happen because of what Obama did may or may not happen and certainly didnt happen yet in any positive or negative manor. The worst you could say is Obama was wrong and the economy didnt ressurect as fast or as well as he said it would.

I guess we can agree to disagree. It rolls off the tongue nicely and even though the economy has not died yet, Obama's massive deficits will hurt us more than we can know at the present time. Of course I have no way of predicting the future, but from what I have seen so far from Obama his lack of experience is beginning to show. He continues to campaign for a job he already has. He is great in selling the sizzle instead of the steak.

Man, it's a bit sad that the right side relies on Fox to help them even though Fox is full of so much bullshit. I guess you have to work with what you have right?

Thank you! One of the reasons I keep reading P&N is for comedy gold like this. Then there's your sig: "Obama lied, the economy died." Wow! That's some world-class Kool Aid swilling. You started my day with a smile. Again, thank you.


For the OP and others crowing about Fox "News" ratings ... seriously? Are your lives (and heads) really so empty that you think this is some sort of great victory? Over what, de ebil librulz? What exactly do you think it proves?

If you think TV ratings are somehow a measure of importance or dominance, here's a little context for you. Nothing on Fox "News" cracks the top 20 for Nielson cable ratings ("Burn Notice" was #1 last week). Among the other things tromping everything on Fox "News" are two episodes of "WWE Entertainment," two episodes of "Hannah Montana," and several episodes of -- wait for it -- "Spongebob Squarepants!" Yes, a cable cartoon was consistently watched by over four times as many families as the hottest show on Fox "News."

The numbers get even worse for the FN fan boys if one looks at television as a whole (because let's face it, most homes these days have cable or satellite). "NBC Nightly News" dominates with over 7.6 million views last week. That's about eight times more than anything on Fox "News." ABC and CBS also blow FN away, with about 6.8M and 5.5M respectively. Add them all up and that's over 20 times as many viewers as FN. If one looks at prime time Nielsens, "60 Minutes" is the only news show to crack the top 20, with roughly eight times as many viewers as FN's top show. Of the Sunday morning news programs, NBC's "Meet the Press," ABC's "This Week," and CBS's "Face the Nation" each soundly trounce Fox's "Fox News Sunday."

So what was the point of this thread again?

Who cares about my sig? So I'm a conservative like you're a liberal. I looked back at your previous posts and you're just a far left automaton who is lockstep with all the liberal talking points. You criticize and attack those you disagree with taking a page right out of the book Rules for Radicals. You have no original or insightful ideas and thoughts or have I missed your published weekly column? No, I thought so. So you just go back to reading your Moveon.org, Huffington Post, Media Matters, etc. websites for your marching orders.

You addressed the first paragraph of Bowfinger's rebuttal quite succinctly. Any comment on the next three?

And not even that, since I was mocking his assertion it has been "independently proven" Fox "News" is "the most 'Fair and Balanced'" -- an absurd claim he made no effort to support.

In that vein, I'll point out that the FN fans generally counter complaints about its obvious bias with rebuttals like, "Yes, FN has biased commentators like O'Reilly and Beck, but they aren't the news programming. They are entertainment. Fox's news programming is different." Yet based on the OP, what is it people watch on Fox "News"? Why the biased entertainers like O'Reilly and Beck, of course.

Look at all these liberals squirming in their chairs, it eats at them like a metastasizing cancer when FOX News continues to dominate. How is your man Olberman doing again? Oh yeah his ratings suck because his views and show sucks. Of course these P&N posters continue to believe they know the way things ought to be. The audacity these posters express continues to amaze me.

wow...hand this cheerleader his pompoms....

If corporations are so anti-liberal, why are they all touting their greenness? We've had the one of the cooler summers in NYC so far.. So much for global warming.

You assume GW/GCC is a Liberal issue. It's everybody's issue.

Liberals can keep trying to call FNC - "Faux News" all they want but the fact of the matter is that viewers are flocking from CNN/MSBNC to FNC

for a reason

. When all of your prime time programming sees double digit ratings gains you must be doing something right.

The reason is people are stupid. It's the same reason they supported the Iraq war en masse and the same reason they re-elected a terrible president in 2004. Agagin!

.....and the same reason they voted for Obama.

It's very unlikely they voted for Obama. Most of them likely think he's a Kenyan born muslim.
