Main Stream Media: Fox News, conservative talk radio, internet
Fringe Media: ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today and other newspaper rags.
Wait. So now you guys want to label Fox as the Mainstream Media? I thought the MSM was the problem! Anyway, I think it's incredibly ironic that news with an obvious bias is somehow considered mainstream.
I don't get it. Why is this important to the right or, for that matter, the left? I rarely watch television and never watch talk shows, political or otherwise.
I have this image in my mind of millions of righties sitting in front of their television sets, day after day, chanting 'Go O'Rilley' or 'Beck' or whoever else is telling them how to think. All around them the pizza boxes are piling up, the kids and dog are dirty and unattended to, the grass has grown over the windows, the mail boxes are overflowing......, 'Can't leave the set, might miss something I'm suppose to to know/believe', ' Must.... hate..... Obama.....' .
O'Reilly has never said he hates Obama. He did say that Obama is "ultra-smart." (March 24, 2009).
In fact, I have never heard Hannity say he "hates" Obama. Because he doesn't... disagreeing with a president's policies is not necessarily "hating."

That's where the viewers and listeners are!! The original MSN lost their standing by capitulating their rights as journalists. The journalist should be digging for the truth and not being a cheerleader for the government. The journalist protects the rights of the people by standing up against big government. If the old MSN keep it up, one day they will lose their rights and we all lose in the end.
No..people want the truth. I wonder how many of you critics of Fox have ever actually watched these people long enough to formulate an honest opinion..or do you just go to the left wing blogs and let them think for you...Fox covers issues that the main stream is covering up to protect Obama and his crew. But as you can see from the ratings...there is really no contest.
I have watched these FOX guys on occasion. They seem to pick some little strange "factoid" and repeat it ad nauseum, generally something anti-Dem. They don't outright lie (probably afraid of getting sued), they just distort a lot of stuff. IMO
Olbermann seems to have two main themes to his show. Dig up past negative stories on Bush when Obama does something similar and says " So there." and then he'll viciously snipe at whatever Oreilly Hannity or Beck says in their covering politics and news. He's a bitter rabid little troll that feeds on whatever crumbs his competitors drop on the floor to him. And then Rachel Maddow does the same thing but dumbs it down even more for her viewers she preceives as too simple to be able to handle real commentary and analysis.
Now even Chris Matthews is just phoning in his shows and looks like he's been lobotomized. Or is that lOBAMAtized?
Who the hhhhelllllllllllllll are they? Never heard of 'em!
Randi Rhodes was the one who got a little visit by the secret service for playing shotgun blasts during President Bush's speech..a real class act.
