And no, i am not talking about burying one's head in the sand with regard to important news that should be weighed by all of us. Just saying that most of these left and right wing shows are 'just entertainment' designed to feed the trolls from either side...no different that catering to history buffs, sports enthusiasts, or folks who watch sit coms.

Agree 1000% Anytime I turn one of these channels on the first thing that comes to mind is, electricity is expensive no need to waste it and I turn the TV off. There are much better places to get your news besides these channels. But I have noticed this forum is filled with people who watch these channels religiously and believe everything they tell them. That's why I come to this forum to see what the sheep are up to. Kind of entertainment for me. Have other blogs or forums I regularly visit with intelligent people who laugh at these channels.

Fox News kills in the ratings because it's the default channel in nursing homes and car dealer service department waiting rooms. At any rate ratings are a relative thing. Reruns of Spongebob and wrestling get double their numbers in viewership.
That is hilariuos. I just abotu fell out of my chair laughing.
Those who watch MSNBC have better things to do like OWS.....lol


Fox kills in the ratings becasue nursing homes turn it on.....lol

Sean Hannity also forgot about 9/11. Perhaps he was too busy playing with his little girly football

And then there's the whole Cenk Uygur episode where he was explicitly told he was to back off his criticism of the Obama administration before being offered a weekend morning show to get him out of the way.

There are plenty of good reasons to dump Comcast. This is not one of them.
