It can't be both. It's either
Five ways the mainstream media tipped the scales in favor of Obama

Read more: Five ways the mainstream media tipped the scales in favor of Obama | Fox News

or

As usual, Fox News Channel’s programming topped the competition in the first quarter of 2013. The network notched the top 13 programs among total viewers and the top six in the A25-54 demographic.

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

All MSM is BS! Information to the plebs is tightly controlled and spun. It's very difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. Yes, FOX News is total crap, but so are the others like ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, Bloomberg and CNBC.

Three people have voted that the media elected Barack Obama. I'd like to know how they reconcile that with Fox's high ratings

High ratings..........nice of you to cherry pick your 'proof'.

Sounds like you're doing what you accuse Fox of doing.

You posted a leading poll and skewed it with your own bias.

Read some Bernard Goldberg. It'll do you good.

Fox is one cable TV station.... the one and only outlet for it's genre. The 3 major networks, CNN & MSNBC are left. Not to mention soft news, tabloids (Entertainment Tonight, etc...). also cable outlets like MTV, VH1. All left. PBS is left. This list is just television. does not even touch on web & print.

Why is this topic posted so often on City Data????

So your saying that when the cons crow about how high Fox's ratings are, which they do constantly, they skewing with with their bias? How did I skew it anyway? Or are you saying Fox skewed it, cause it came from their website

Because Fox News is the mainstream media and the cons are always trying to make like it isn't. Because Fox News has the highest rating which means that the claim that the media elected Barack obama is laughable. Also many, if not most, of those people who watch and read that other stuff also watch Fox
