The Glenn Beck Boycott Gaining Traction - FOX News Losing Money

And on the matter of glenn beck, just because advertisement revenue is dropping doesn't mean people are watching less. The advertisement companies are dropping him due to their own political beliefs conflicting with Glenn Beck. So if you used the unique viewers of Glenn Beck showing a decline or something similar, then I might agree with you. Otherwise, this is like saying "the dramatic loss of ice cubes caused global warming." Showing a large usage of ice cubes, and the day gets warmer and warmer. :D

There you go with the insults, again.

It is easier explaining something to my two year old granddaughter as even she seems smarter than the Obama supporter. It doesn't do any good to explain anything to a cult follower for you are going to believe what you want to believe but only from those whose ideology fits into the leftwing agenda. Tell me that you would hire Van Jones as an advisor? Is that what you really believe?

Yet, you're the one who believes, and can't present evidence. I understand.

Evidence doesn't matter to a cult follower, your beliefs based upon ignorance is all that matters. Evidence that Beck ratings trump his competitors and Fox News making record profits continues to be ignored. The majority seem not to believe Beck is lying but that doesn't stop you from continual posts that he is lying. You simply cannot accept the fact that you are wrong on this issue just like most every other including your apparent vote for Obama.

What I believe is you are looking for attention and simply want to troll. Fact remains, Beck boycott has failed and Fox News made record profits last quarter. I do indeed believe in free enterprise and a smaller govt. I believe in freedom of speech and the abilityt to turn the channel or turn the media off if I disagree. Millions are not turning Beck off and it is only the loony left that continues to call him a liar. TV ratings are the court of public opinion and those ratings say you are wrong.

Fact remains, he lies, which is our bone of contention. This is factual, and not belief. ;)

I watch Beck listen to Savage, Limbaugh and others when I want to see what the loony bin is up to. So count me in on those ratings. Oh and as far as the companies/corporations that advertise on these programs I'm disinclined to purchase there products. Not that I won't but they get stepped back amongst the others.

Nope, not factual at all, your opinion. Apparently you don't know what a lie is. Look at the thread topic and what do you call that if not a lie?

No, factual. I supported wth Facts each claim. The media one was easy. You've responded with your beliefs.

Don't know and doesn't matter to our discussion. You and I are talking about Beck's honesty. I gave a clear example of him lying concerning the media. I presented fact. You merely told me what you believe.

That isn't the topic of this thread but like all liberals you divert from the main issue to a manufactured issue. Whether or not the video was posted on the MSM or not is irrelevant, it was late and Beck because of the time slot was the first and he predicted that the MSM wouldn't show it, he was wrong, they did but as Reuter's admits the print picture was doctored to display Israel in a bad light, which isn't surprising. Does that constitute a lie on Beck's part, not really, just shows he was wrong. You call it a lie because that allows you to divert from this thread topic. It isn't a winning issue for you nor is ignoring that the topic of this thread is indeed a lie. You simply cannot bring yourself to admitting the obvious.
 
Well personally I see this as fantastic news.. won't hold my breath about them going out of business anytime soon though. Being interested in journalistic integrity of course makes me wish that someone would just delete the station. It is terrible news coverage IDK if they even classify themselves as news coverage .. "entertainment" yes but they shouldn't pretend to be legit news at the same time.

You see what as "fantastic news?" Fox News had record profits last quarter and Beck beats his competition handily. Fox News provides hard news and op ed news which is the same as CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, etc. and does so with more crediblity than other networks as the ratings show.

Aw, give me a break, turn off the TV or turn the channel. Anyone that believes MSNBC, CNN, CNBC, and others are real news are nuts. Fox is an alternative to the biased media outlets out there now. Regardless of what you post I can counter that with other sources but the bottom line remains the ratings and the majority disagree with you.

hrm.. that really isn't a discredit of the documentary I linked. I would love to watch a similar documentary about any of the other stations you posted. That would be great. Thanks in advance. Please no opinion peices out of some right wing media. If you can find employees from these companies your talking about that say the same things as your insinuating about them that would be excellent. Otherwise your just expressing your opinion.

Before you do that at least take the time to watch fox employees talk about fox "news". At least try to be objective.

Ratings are objective, profits are objective and in both cases Fox wins. Don't care about a documentary, I care about the results. I watch Fox and compare their reporting to actual results and actions. I have a choice in who I watch and I continue to choose Fox.

By the way I have no interest in watching an 1:17 hour documentary on Fox. I am a conservative and proud of it. I look at results and don't really give a rat's behind on what someone who has an ax to grind with Fox has to say about the company. Fox provides an alternative to the leftwing bias today and thus I prefer them. How do I know that Fox is right, I use bea.gov, bls.gov, U.S. Treasury data, U.S. Census Data all independent sources to verify results being reported. Suggest you try them sometime and then you will see the liberal bias. None of those sites are partisan as they simply report results, and as stated results matter, not rhetoric.
