Seems like personal insults come from both sides, but there are more liberals on P&N.

That's all this post amounts to.

Your pile of horse shit has more people around it sniffing it and exclaiming that it actually "smells good"? That doesn't mean it smells good, ya dumb partisan slut.

This isnt about MSNBC, manowar821.
 
That's what scaring old folks into thinking they're going to get put out to pasture will do for you.

Even my DAD (a retired doctor who has no $ worries) is spouting that shit right and left. It seems like it's all he has left to hang on to anymore.

When is the US ever going to wake the %&$ up?
 
It saddens me that anyone, Republican or Democrat, would think that high viewership of a network like Fox "News" is a good thing.

No, there aren't. Unless you're talking about the dumbass american definition of liberal, which basically comes down to conservatives saying "librulz" whenever they're trying to label somebody or something they don't like. There are far fewer socially permissive people on this forum than there are socially restrictive people. A lot of democrats are social conservatives, too.

Dunno if that's supposed to pull at my hear-strings, but it doesn't. I don't care much for any of them.

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 O'Reilly Factor beat a broadcast news - CBS Evening News with Kattie Coric. Keep the lie alive liberals...keep the lie alive.

You realize, of course, that nowadays in virtually all developed countries the "yellow" press/TV (Bild in Germany, De Telegraaf in Holland, The Sun, The Daily Mail, etc. in the UK, Fox News in the USA), everything that we call collectively the "tabloid press", always has the largest readership/viewership. For example, Bild is the highest selling German newspaper, The Sun and The Daily Mail are in 1st and 2nd place in the UK and possibly in Europe, and I'm sure the statistics is not very different in the rest of Europe. It's just the nature of Man.

The very slight difference is that Bild and The Sun often attract readers with topless girls, and always with a lot of pictures and little text, whereas Fox News attracts them with right-wing pornography. The mindset of the readers (viewers) is the same. BTW porni is the old Greek word for a prostitute. Couldn't fit Fox News better.

That is a very objective comment. I see how open your mind is to alternative sources of information.
 
there are so many people that hate fox news....why exactly?

What makes them any worse than the other news stations?

Every one of them is "tabloidish" to some degree.

why is fox so disliked...and I don't want to hear any emotional bullshit views...back it up with some facts.......what makes them so bad and the others so much better?

Sean Hannity, Bill O'Riely,the Fox and Friends Morning Zoo, etc.

Personally I find Cable News obnoxious with Faux being the worse by far and I think the majority of TV viewers feel the same.. Of course the Wingnuts love Faux as it's like a Political Pep Rally with Gas Bags like O'Riely and Hannity leading the cheers.

What is unobjective about my comment? You started the statistics argument; I simply gave you an explanation. It is a firm fact, supported by the statistics I gave you, that the majority of people are attracted to the lowest, crudest content. In Bild that is topless girls; in Fox News it is mental and verbal pornography. By the way, pornography makes up the majority of Internet traffic. Must be for the same reason that Fox News attracts the majority of cable news audience.

the goal of a television station is to make money. viewers = higher advertising rates = more money. Fox is obviously doing something right, even if it's not something I care for.

personally, I'm just amused because of how convinced certain forum members were that the US was shifting left and FN was doomed.

Just as the lefty wingnuts love the status quo rants of Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews. Same sh!t, different look.

you have only listed names.....you have not given a reason.

you have listed personalties on specific shows...not why you dislike the station in general.

Personally I don't like any of the cable news shows.

Not because of a few individuals, but because reporting on all of them is shit.

they are all like watching a tv version of the Enquirer.

they really don't differ much from places like TMZ.

July Ratings: Fox News Beats MSNBC & CNN Combined in Total Day and Prime
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvn...y_and_prime_122858.asp

Fox News Channel continued its cable news dominance in July not only beating CNN and MSNBC combined, but showing the most growth in the younger demo. In A25-54 viewers, FNC is up 48% in total day, and up 70% in primetime, compared to July '08.
Looks like younger viewers are starting to see the liberal media for what it is.

Cable news' #1 show for 104 consecutive months, "The O'Reilly Factor", is up 37% over July '08.
WOW - The #1 show for 104 months is UP 37% over last year.

and the kicker....
FNC's audience expanded in all categories during July 2009, besting CNN and MSNBC combined in viewership (for both Total Day and Prime) according to Nielsen Media Research.

"Spit- take" Fox has News???? By the way what are you, Fox's over-protective mother?

hwaaa ???? /perplexed

Have you even been to this forum in the past 6 months? Look again at the main p&n page and tell me about 90% liberal
 
This is easy to explain:

The right and the left have different mentalities. The mentality of the right is perfectly conducive to radio and TV that specialized in righteous outrage and moral indignation.

The right is filled with pompous assholes with swollen phony egos who pretend to have virtues and look down long noses at others they pretend are morally depraved and sexually dirty.

The folk on the left have no lefteous outrage because such a thing doesn't exist, and they have no moral indignation, naturally, because they have no morals.

Priceless.
 
So -

on the one hand we have partisans defending Fox of its "mainstream" and "Fair and Balanced" reporting

on the other we have partisans proclaiming a national shift to the right due to the growth in Fox viewership.

I'm confused....

No big deal.

In fact, right-wing conservative mouthpieces like Rushbo and O'Reilly have always been hot tickets. They do well when conservatives are in power, and they do even better when conservatives are out of power.

The right-wing ditto-heads need their lullabies before they go to sleep.

lol you have a macro for everything...:laugh::heart:

Are you truly that dense? All that says is that Fox News is better at being a business than MSNBC/CNN, it says nothing about the quality of the news.

By your analogy, McDonalds is the best tasting, most nutritious food in the world. 1+ billion people a day cannot be wrong.
