Liberals can't accept that they could be wrong, so whenever they disagree, the person has to be an idiot or lying, since in their heads, their POV is always correct.

I think what makes most liberals hate Fox most are these two facts:

- Fox doesn't have a liberal/left leaning slant and actually reports news that makes Democrats look bad, when the news reflects it

- They are VERY successful and almost always lead in the ratings
Yes, I believe that the top 5 rating slots are all FOX news..imagine that

A bit above my age, but I think I'd snuggle with Campbell Brown. No Bull .

Racheal Maddow or Greta Van Susteren ... uh, not so much.

Liberals, hate? Say it aint so.

To be fair, it goes both ways. Conservatives dislike Liberal shows and vice versa.

But why is FOX news blowing away the competition? Why is CNN and MSNBC such a distant second and third place despite all the lefties telling us that FOx news only tells lies? Is it because they are so accustomed to hearing only the liberal viewpoint and anything else is inconcievable?

Because I dont think FOX is right leaning..it says its "fair and balanced" and it is. Hannity and Colmes was a perfect example. It had one conservative viewpoint and 1 liberal viewpoint. Can CNN and MSNBC make that claim?

The screenshot is from Fox News but as you probably already know, the results shown are from an independent study.

BTW, I watch both Fox News and CNN and wouldn't "snuggle" with any male! A single female in my age bracket, now that's something else!
I'm saying that when you are making bold claims, you need evidence from an independent source. And since that's your only source you've ever shown on one of these, and it was from the very station you are defending, it's not a very credible source. One single study that only partially tells the story in hyperbole is NOT concrete evidence of anything. In a court of law, your evidence would be thrown out as hearsay.

Sorry man, but you WOULD snuggle...I've never seen anyone so in love with a (horrible) cable news network. And that study was only partially shown, they ignore the fact that Fox was clearly anti-Obama, with more negative stories on Obama than positive ones.

Tell me Fleet, why on Earth do you like Fox News so much? Do you like those silly graphics? The "newscasters" who cannot pronounce the names of anyone foreign? How about the cattiness shown on every program? What is it about Fox News that you love so much?
