Draws the most people.

The majority rules, go watch MSNBC, they are ranked somewhere around 12th or so.

It is hard to be in the minority like you are, knowing that successful people with millions of followers are NOT watching NBC, MSBNC, CBS, CNN etc.

Real people watch Fox, minority non informed people watch the other channels.

Like Nancy said, liberals need help in making decisions, otherwords calling her followers stupid.
Sorry, ROFLMAO...

It's the "Slow Train Wreck" thing.

Impossible not to watch no matter how horrible you know it's going to be.

Neither did Loe Dobbs. He was on CNN for 20 something years. He even retired and they begged him to come back and gave him a nice, big raise.

Dobbs didn't present different views.

Your post fails.

Alwaleed has grown close with the Murdoch enterprise, recently endorsing James Murdoch to succeed his father and creating a content-sharing agreement with Fox News for his own media conglomerate, Rotana.

That goes for Palin, the female hypocrite extraordinaire counter part of Beck. These people are so FOS!

Think Progress » Conservative Activists Rebel Against Fox News: Saudi Ownership Is ‘Really Dangerous For America’
This is a bunch of nonsense. Liberals always accuse conservative of being anti-muslim, anti-black, anti-gay and so on. When a onservative does business or has a relationship with a person/group they allegedly hate the left calls them hypocrites? LOLs. Could it just be people on the right aren't the bigots you lefties are always screaming about?

And what did this prince supposedly influence? He doesn't want attention brought to "clean" energy because it could hurt Saudi oil interests. Big deal. "Clean" energy is a total and comlplete joke. If there was anything to it we would already be using it instead of Saudi oil. He can influenece that all he wants. Doesn't matter. We aint moving away from oil anytime soon. Maybe in 4 or 500 years.

And then he says he didn't want banking reform. Once again, big deal. We got it anyway. If this guy was in cohort with FOX to stop banking refrom they were miserably unsucessful.

I see post after post of from the left that can't stand the fact that a guy from Saudi owns a tiny percentage of FOX News. Nobody on the right seems to care.

Maybe we start asking why the left is anti-Muslim?

P.S. I happen to kow there are a few blacks that a part of FOX News. Let's keep that our little secret. We wouldn't want the left to be exposed as anti-black also.

YOURS is the canned response. You're repeating whatever FOX etc has told you, and to top it off, you know nothing about liberals.

It's amazing how some people just demonize a whole range of people by claiming they support things they don't: "Liberals hate America" and all that unAmerican divisive garbage. When someone posts, as some already on this thread have, something like "Liberals always...", that immediately suggests they are too far gone to argue with.

Glenn Beck should do the honorable thing and admit his real intentions, admit his lies, and then hang himself on national TV.

Maybe I'm confused, but I don't see Beck speaking out against Islam or Muslims. I see him speaking out against terrorists and extremists. If a Muslim is invested in Fox, big deal. Or are YOU saying that all Muslims are terrorists and can't be trusted?

Aside from all that, Fox is the only platform that has not attempted to shape what the hosts say. Glenn has stated this many times that he says what he want's, period. (As if it wasn't obvious. lol ) Other networks were not that way.

Oh I didn't think you wanted me to show you just how lame the idea of it was.

You failed to make a valid point is why I did not want to correct you.

But, now I will.

What does the money from the Mosque have to do with Talal?

They are two completely different things and you know it.

Just to make sure you understand, the money behind the Mosque, well, it follow right back to terrorist groups who want to kill you and I.

Show me how Talal's money does the same thing then you can continue.

Until then, this is just left wing rubbish and making up stuff again.
