Since both networks seem approximately on par with their news reporting and individual slants......can The ONION News Network eventually gain more conservative viewers than The FOX News Network??????

Let's face it......The Onion News tells viewers exactly what they "want" to hear and believe. .

Though the onion is more factually accurate than fox, it won't pick up more right wing viewers as it doesn't give them the hard right lies they crave.

No.

Right wingers won't "get" the Onion. Fox News? Now, that's their style.

Some of you are almost like children. And how convenient that MSNBC isnt included in this. Oh that's right, they slant far left so they are Ok. Got it.

With as much bashing you guys do of one network, you really should check into any openings at Media Matters. Theyre always looking for folks they can pay to listen/watch Fox News hosts waiting for something they can spin on. And if anyone is good at spinning things, or at least trying to, its you guys.

Youll notice, you dont see constant CNN/MSNBC articles on this website. It's not that we cant find anything to post about them, probably daily, we rather focus on other issues and not a stupid network.

However, perhaps its time to play the same game as the Left. Maybe it is time we start posting the media bias and spin of other networks on a daily basis, or atleast a weekly round up.

40 seconds in starts an "inside look" at Media Matters Boot Camp. Seriously guys, youd fit right in!

Fox News segments are fair and balanced.
The opinion shows are not news.

What are the ratings of MSNBC vs Fox these days?

Pressing issues like...

Obama's birth certificate

Palin isn't dumb

Limbaugh is a newsman

Teachers are your enemy

That's what most of this is about anyways. Its ratings and that Fox News is often more balanced. Im sure the fact that MSNBC's ratings and CNN's ratings being lower must really get under their skin. And they cant stand a network that doesnt bow and kiss the butt of people like Obama. They cant stand a network that covers stories other networks refuse to talk about. Same folks who get their news from comedians like Stewart and Maher.

Oh, I agree.

Chris "Obama gives me tingles up my leg" Matthews would NEVER pander to his left wing audience.
