Who give's a Sh^&%t.............Fox news tell it like it is.....

Now I understand why Fox News uses scare tactics aimed at the retired to further their propaganda such as, "Obama wants to cut your Medicare!"
Not exactly an expanding viewer base then

There is hope after all.....................

I just don't understand how people can really believe this. Especially given how many times they have been caught distorting facts, misrepresenting footage etc.

I do believe it is you that needs to pay attention. You might also want to pay attentin to the fact that FOX NEWS IS one of his businesses so openly takling smack about the business that is owned by your wife's father shows he is nothing more that the usual low class lib.

More than 1/3 of FOX NEWS vewers are Democrats. It is a great benefit to Republicans when Democrats that watch FOX NEWS are constantly insulted my thier own Democrats. It's the brainless sheeple that watch MSNBC and CNN and their low rating prove it.

Of course, MSNBC was showing rerun documentaries the weekend of the Ft Hood shootings and also the crotch bomber, right?

MSNBC also has so few viewers they have to fill their programming with shows about prisons and such. Half their viewers are probably in prison.

I don't see what it has to do with this political preference. Remember he lives in UK. Only in US would someone claim that if someone does not FOX then he must be a lib.

Hmm...one would think the low ratings mean that not whole lot of people watch them. Period.

He's probably conservative. Btw economicaly, liberalism is a right wing position in the UK and centrist on social policies. Also the conservative party are the staunchest advocates of economic liberalism. lol
