Links have been provided several times before. So what if it covers only Sept-Oct? The numbers speak for themselves and show that Fox News is much more balanced than liberals will ever admit to and that MSNBC is about as unbalanced as "news" station can get!
So what????? It matters that YOU described the numbers as reflecting a much larger period of time than they did, and that the specific period of time had news events which affected the bias. If the study hadn't been pegged to October 29th, I would have thought it reflected an analysis of the entire campaign, and it didn't. Statistics are a way of describing the world. But the description it is making has to be honest and transparent in order to maintain its credibility. When statistics are used in a partisan matter to spin an issue, then how they are used makes them less reliable.
Fox News themselves have described themselves as a remedy to liberal bias. The source of the statistics YOU provided describe Fox News as the conservative mirror to MSNBC.
Fox News is actually working toward being less biased. The shedding of Beck, and the tilt of their news coverage has changed markedly since 2010.
I agree with you that Fox News is more balanced than many liberals will admit, and I would assert that the major three networks are more balanced than many conservatives will admit. Because all four news services are viewed through the particular lens of our personal biases.
Those videos are a joke and links to comedy central. Geez guys... Nice try but Fox is still the number one news station and is the most fair and balanced.
He wants to be the single source of "information" for his audience. Less competition, better ratings, and so forth. You know the drill.
And his dittoheads will eagerly slurp up whatever he serves them.
Absolutely, All he is saying is that I am the only one that is right so you should not be listening to anyone else but me. Translation, my ratings are dropping please help.
