FAUX News damages the GOP every time they're on the air. The Republican Party will die a natural death before the Democratic Party, and neither will be missed in my mind, but the GOP can thank FAUX, Rush, Ann, and all the rest of the redundant haters.
Like I said, can't be both. Well it could be if by "mainstream media" you mean it was Fox News that tipped the scales but I doubt that's what they mean. So which is it
It can be both.
Over 22 million people watch the network nightly news shows. You are comparing Fox cable news only to other cable shows. It is also good to note that 35% of Fox cable news viewers are Democrats and the majority are not Republicans. I know you think you are all smart and what not but your theory does not stand up to the simplest scrutiny.
Numbers for the week of April 1, 2013:
Total Viewers:
NBC Nightly News: 8,375,000
ABC World News Tonight: 7,401,000
CBS Evening News 6,414,000
keep in mind these are the same 'tards that in one breath called "W" the dumbest man ever, then in the next breath attributed him with the greatest cover ups in the history of the world...
#1 there are other forms of media like the internet, newspapers, radio etc...
#2 not everyone is as impressionable as you...so just because you watch TV news and buy it hook line and sinker - doesn't mean everyone else does... Some liberals watch FoxNews and some Conservatives watch MSNBC for a variety of reasons.
#3 FoxNews' ratings show that it isn't reaching most voters on a routine basis. So even if your assumption that everyone is as gullible as you - they are in fact not reaching that many people frequently compared to the voting at large public.
#4 People tend to watch FoxNews and MSNBC because it reaffirms their political beliefs. These people already have their minds made up and they just want affirmation.
#5 You realize that this doesn't count local news or national news on ABC/CBS/NBC etc...
Fox News has more viewers than all of them. The other side can't have that much of an influence on the election if nobody's watching them, and that's what we hear from the cons everytime they crow about Fox's high ratings, that the "liberal media" is insignificant and "nobody watches them anymore cause they know their biased"
Isn't FOX part of the MSM, what with having the largest viewership and all? I loved seeing Palin pi$$ and moan about the mainstream media, on mainstream media.
