I wouldn't know. I don't watch MSNBC or read Mother Jones or carry a pic of Saul Alinsky in my pocket.

I also don't have horns or poison glands in my armpits.

Most of the characterizations of liberals that I see from the RWNJ's on this board are just hilarious.

Listening to him makes me fart.

I'm sorry, do I not fit into your little pigeonhole?


Deal with it.

Because FNC caters to angry old people. The average viewer age for Bill O'Reilly is 68 years old.

And they just love to have their fears, prejudices and ignorance validated.

That's what Fox provides the avid right wing loony viewer. Validation.

If you believe that Fox is "Fair and Balanced", then you obviously think everything is liberal.

One thing Fox News does extremely well that no other news broadcast does is they fill the entire screen with motion. If you look at the background, there's always some sort of motion graphic going on whereas the other channels have mainly static sets. As every parent knows, shiny moving objects are great for holding a baby's attention.

Otherwise liberals, democrats, independents, libertarians, sane republicans etc,.. like to get their information from numerous sources and come up with their decisions themselves.

They just lay on the couch and let fox tell them what to think and how they are suppose feel on the issues. Basic learning skills and having your own opinion is far too difficult for these type of individuals.
Being #1 doesn't mean being main stream at all. It just means the message resonates with more people than the other "opinion posing as news" broadcasters.

I can see the programming worked on you... Once again, more main stream rhetorical garbage being pushed as common sense with a hint of elitist better than thou reasoning. It's ironic having someone without an original thought in their body, telling others how they are the sheep. It would be laughable if it weren't so sad.


You only need look to a mirror for sheeple guidance, because your good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people like you!

They're not in the business of protecting people and to them there's no such thing as a sacred cow.

Look no farther than our current President; his illegal immigrant uncle who was ordered deported in 1992 is still here and has a Social Security card!!!!!

Think anybody at ABC, NBC or CBS will ever mention this on the air?

People watch Fox News because it operates on their intellectual level. People won't watch what's stupid or what they can't grasp. Fox is the middle, it's John Q Public's choice.

And unfortunately, only Fox viewers and supporters will claim that its ratings wins make it "right" or "accurate" when in fact there is no connection like that to be claimed. Otherwise, they would have to also insist that the Toyota Camry is the best car and that Dancing With the Stars is the best television show. They aren't. And Fox isn't. It's just the most popular example of mind control for an ignorant and sleeping population.
