Just because someone says they're fair and balanced 2000 times a day does not mean that they are. Is Glenn Beck Fair and Balanced? How about O'Reilly? Hannity? These are Fox's top ratings earners.
People watch it because they want to see what absurd thing they say/do next. Sort of like how Howard Stern got high ratings before he wen't over to Sirius.
When I worked the night shift, Fox News was on all the time, its the last thing from fair and balanced. CNN and MSNBC are not any better. Few of them really report on an issue, its more conservative/liberal whining about the issue with little perspective.
On TV, Fox is the ONLY right-wing network, so it gets 100% of the right-wing audience.
Liberals have multiple TV news networks to choose from, so their audience is split between MSNBC, CNN, and the rest.
Take a group of 50 conservatives and 50 liberals.
Here is a breakdown of what networks they will watch:
Fox - all 50 conservatives
MSNBC - 15 libs
CNN - 15 libs
PBS - 5 libs
ABC - 5 libs
CBS - 5 libs
NBC - 5 libs
Now do you see why Fox gets the largest audience?
They have a monopoly on right-wing TV.
Gosh are your doing an Obama and making things up on your own again?
Wrong, the real reason Obama is going after Fox is that his own base is now watching Fox and Obama is afraid that with Fox exposing his commi life they will defect him.
Polls have shown 40% of Fox viewers are left wingers!!!
Obama is scared of Fox because he knows even YOU watch Fox.
It is hell being the top dog and more powerful then the idiot in the WH.
here;s the best part, the only people i know watching, other than you fine people here, are mostly black. i asked them why they would watch fox news. they said because they want to follow the thinking and actions of the hate mongers to know where they are at and it confirms all they know about racism in america. if you think the demographics are going to change very soon to more people becoming white republicans who support going back into the middle ages you may be waiting quite awhile.
