Fox News Remains Ratings Champ As 2013 Comes to Close | Variety

People love them and people hate them - progressives tend to pay more attention to those they hate.
 
I dont know that the function of a cable news network is to get anyone in the whitehouse.

Do you see that as a legitimate function of our supposedly adversarial media?

Well then you should take that up with the people who run the various cable news networks. If they haven't succeeded, it ain't for lack of trying.
 
Well, until Fox averages 6 to 9 million viewers like each of the news programs from ABC, NBC and CBS do each night, liberal media bias is still a big problem in our country.

At any rate, the idea that Fox isn't "mainstream" is laughable.
 
I don't usually watch TV but Fox News has way more substance than MSNBC where the general idea they're spewing is that white people are evil, the rich suck and everything is no fair, oh and Barack Obama is Black Santa..

You know a lot about what they say on MSNBC for someone who never watches it. I never watch it either, but I don't make pronouncements about what they say.

If you believe this board, the person who pays the most attention to MSNBC is a conservative.
 
You can't address it any better than that?
You can't have it both ways... Either there is an overwhelming liberal media or the conservative media is the most popular and everyone is watching them.
It can't be both...

It cant be both? Because you say so? Heres how it is, the media has an overwhelming left bias, and the few sources that DONT are quite popular. Thats the news.

No I tend to read quotes and watch youtube videos- we are in the technological era...

Obviously I have internet access...

I do read the news from various sources.

I don't need TV to be knowledgeable on current events.

So your source on MSNBC is the same as liberal sources on Fox. Huh....

So everyone watches Fux Snooze ... but they all vote Democratic because the networks are socialists?
Got it ...
... Makes perfect sense...
You and Dick Morris are a Geniuses!

As stated several times, cable news is a small market, and you are referring to one of several stations within that small group.
As for the rest of your silly statement, dont put words in my mouth.

I wouldn't dream of doing that... I'm just trying to clarify what you are saying...
So now you say ; no one watches cable news ...it's a tiny market share....
...Sooo Fux Snooze is really just a big fish in a small pond?
...and everyone is really watching the LIBRUL networks??
Thank you so much for making that clear to us...
I thought you were saying Americans were all watching Fux Snooze AND voting Democratic...
That would be crazy eh?
 
I find it interesting that with all their ratings, they are unable to get a Republican in the White House. :thumbs:

It is always interesting to see by what means the government is pushing the war-of-month, FOX news is a great place to see this, AND the news readers almost always attractive. Can't see that much leg at a 5k road race. :2razz:

One network against the rest. I guess you were saying that during CNN's hayday when Bush kept getting re-elected.

IMO, no one cares about MSNBC - and for numerous reasons... I think the ratings prove my opinion right.

Progressives are authoritarian - they focus on what others do - that is why Fox News is such a hit amongst them - they're obsessed.
