How do you guys know when to change?
No. FOX doesn't live to make Obama look good. That is why Obama hates them.

"The Five" has really distinguished themselves by their comments, I guess the ratings were down.

So what! The Five is a group discussing the news and giving comments. Much like The View, only a more intelligent forum. The libs don't miss a beat, always looking for soundbites they can pretend to be offended by. You people are pathetic.

You may have missed the point, there.

For a long time ... I was a Dobbs fan. When he was at CNN. Then he went over the cliff, lost his perspective and became just another right-wing extremist. He could be a positive force in financial reporting ... if he'd do so without so much bias. But being able to express his political bias is why he went to Fox. CNN wouldn't let him do that any more.

If he held a liberal bias, you'd consider him a moderate? Is this how the rationale works, with any conservative an extremist? In other words, it's okay to be liberal biased, but not conservative biased.

That's a hypocritical view, isn't it?

Would you not agree that all main-stream news sources have become propagandists?

I can't say that I've heard any conservative anchor exclaim "I felt a thrill going up my leg" or foment hate and justify cheating like Ed Schultz: "If I lived in Massachusetts, I'd try to vote ten times ... Yeah that's right, I'd cheat to keep these bastards out!"

How is liberal propaganda better than conservative propaganda?

said his 2012 slogan would be "Forward" It's isn't rocket science. Everyone
knows it, so why pretend it isn't so?

Fox news has always been extreme right, I don't think there is another that has the lean that Fox has.

Yes MSNBC, CNN, etc lean to the left in varying degrees. PBS is the only station on center.

Is this your answer to my question; a disconnected rant that has nothing to

do with the discussion? I find it interesting that a person challenged with

staying on point, could infer that he/she understands math and science. The
math
simply doesn't add up.



I suspect that you won't give a straight answer to the question
.
Well here's your math problem, you are comparing one right wing station to 5 stations on the left, why wouldn't you expect the Fox News to have the largest single viewership, it's not really complicated, there are more options on the left.
