Lemmings (radical, death, leader, party)

[Swigchow]

Who are more like Lemmings, those who watch Fox News or those that watch MSNBC? Or is it sad that the news media has become so partisan?

[twinArmageddons]

Those who listen to mainstream news for anything but the news period.

There's really no "better/worse" ratio. Both sides of the coin have gotten just as bad.

Maybe we shouldn't call people things like lemmings. Perhaps we all could get more accomplished by being more respectful of others, even when we disagree with them.

[HappyTexan]

Lemmings = sheeple

They blindly follow "their" leaders/MSM sites/party.
They take the news as fact with no research into details.

And these people in power know this and use this to get what they want.
You are sadly mistaken if you think it's just MSM that sways the masses.

oh the irony of this thread .......

lemmings actually don't follow each other to their death. it is a misperception conceived by a large media outlet ( ....disney to be exact ).

Respect is earned, not given. Lemmings/sheeple don't earn respect therefore they don't deserve any for their political viewpoints.

Well, both. Fox viewers are more like lemmings. You can see the fact of that right here on this message board. Also Fox creates a cozy environment to entice viewers to tune in and stay tuned in; the other networks' formats are more fragmented, though they do what they can to compete; nevertheless people who "watch MSNBC" don't really watch MSNBC. You can see that on these boards by the comparative dearth of quotes from Keith, Rachel et al. here on this message board.

Withmedia fragmenting so radically though I think the cocoonish "your home, your friends" Fox style is the wave of the future for TV channels.

Nobody really watches MSNBC.

I say that about people who watch the Golf Channel. Who ARE those people?
