Good news is no news. If it bleeds it leads. The media thrive on America's misery.

Sometimes I forget that I'm a moderate. Both liberals and conservatives look crazy to me. Then sometimes I wish the gummint could just be run like I run my own finances, not spending anything I don't have. The only thing I ever bought on time was my house.

One.

Then, one. Now, none.

Hahaha, to think that some people think Palin could be a viable presidential candidate. That is so telling about people that some people even believe that. Palin: reality show fodder, political pundit fodder, media fodder.

She resigned as governor when she couldn't take the heat. The heat as President is far worse. What are you gonna do when the President resigns when she can't take the heat?

Hahaha, to think that some people think Obama is a viable president. That is so telling about people that some people even believe that. Obama: communist, racist, anti-American, anti-business, wants to bankrupt America for the real change, pro Islam, couldn't make the right decision if his life depended on it ...

The voice of FOX ... speaking "the truth" of conservative media ... fair and balanced ... accurate ... researched in depth through a variety of sources (Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter ...) ... wise and counseled ... careful and measured ... a link to the future.

G'night America

Look who has all the market share ...

More and more American's are watching Fox News over liberal controlled news media. There is a reason for that and a reason why republican's won the last election by a landslide.

Can you provide a credible source for that? The only sources I've been able to come up with are 1.) Fox themselves and 2.) Opinion pieces from people like yourself on sites like yahooanswers, answer.com etc. Perhaps I overlooked something so can you show me where you saw this other than the places I just mentioned?

So here I am citing the Huffington Post. Pigs are flying overhead at this time This is an old article but it delivers the point: Fox News Claims 9 Of Top 10 Cable News Programs In Q1 Now, the article does say "Fox News Claims", but they don't dispute it.

Here is yesterday from a different "non Fox" source: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...-24-2011/83797

That being established, there is a somewhat logical reason for this besides concluding that America is overwhelmingly conservative. If you are a liberal you have numerous viewing options. You could therefore expect liberal slanted news to receive less viewers. There is more competition for the liberal viewers. If you are a conservative, who else are you going to watch? That said, I did read somewhere that they also have a lot of independent viewers.

[EDIT] Since I'm dancing with the devil (citing Huffington Post), here is yet another Huffington Post article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/0..._Happening_Now . They kinda sorta don't like Fox, so it should mean something when even they concede Fox dominates cable news by a good margin. As I said above though, there is a reason to explain this.

Except in California, hmm! Guess that means it's so expensive to live there and the economies so bad that the people can't afford to keep their cable service, huh?

The unions took over the cable companies in California which had to raise their rates to astronomical heights to cover payroll and benefits thus mirroring the calamity in Wisconsin. And this is just the beginning!
