"Faux" news (MSNBC) does not "reign supreme."

And what part of the country do you think are most ignorant.....northern states, southern states..... If most of our country comprised of ignorant people then we would probably be a third world country.

If your argument is "my news is better because your news sucks" you're probably an idiot. (general statement, not a personal attack)

ALL news sources sucks. Fox is one of the worst and there are studies showing it.

Fox is biased, msnbc is biased, cnn is clueless, does anyone watch abc or cbs? local news just parrots stories from other news sources and sprinkles in some fluff pieces.

Your best bet is not watching the news at all. At best it's OPINION and that's idiotic to watch.
We don't benefit from slanted facts fit into opinion pieces from some ignorant fool reading a prompter.
Journalism is long dead. Turn off the tv news and read some books.

^^^ This. Americans just choose to believe what they want to believe.

My folks always tell me. "There are always three sides in every story, yours, mine, and the truth."

If they don't agree with you, they would call you a liar, naive or stupid. That is no big surprise!

I encourage everyone to read the above. Then read it again.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe someone just called him/herself an idiot!

And seriously, what kind of person bases what they think of a TV network based on studies? There's your real proof that someone doesn't think for him/herself, pure and simple.

The irony is astonishing.

We receive Fox News in the UK. I watched Fox News during the last presidential election. all night long it was one mantra, Romney is winning, Romney is winning easily. The other stations I watched, both British and American, said that it looked like Obama was going to retain the presidency.
The following day the half wit Hannity was asking his pundits, including Carl Rove, how they could have been so wrong with their predictions. The reason is quite simple, they misled their viewers. They had access to the the same information as their rival TV stations but they decided to mislead their viewers instead. It's junk news.

The sad thing is the pride of the stupid people who watch that garbage. Pride in being clueless.
