In my mind, comparing the irrelevant with the irrelevant is irrelevant.

Some years back, about 5-6 years, Fox News was #6 in the ratings. CNN was at #22 and MSNBC was at #30. Looks like Fox News is very relevant and CNN & MSNBC are not!

In your mind, that makes them relevant, not others.

I don't know how your mind thinks, but I would say being in the top 10 is very relevant!

Being in the top 10 means giving the kind of people who get their information from tv what they want to hear. It's as "relevant" as The Biggest Loser or Zoo Parade.

Really? You must be misinformed about that because you listen to Fox News.

FYI:

A new study by the Pew Research Study shows that viewers of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report have the highest knowledge of national and international affairs, while Fox News viewers rank nearly dead last:

I have a feeling the liberals would not be saying that if it was CNN or MSNBC in the top 10!

Contrary to the silly myth, I don't always hear what I "want to" on Fox News. Especially when one of the frequent liberal guests are talking.

At least with FOX we can talk about what they report and get to the bottom of it and then form an opinion but if the story never comes out it is almost like it never happened.

Some would say, "you are totally wrong!"

Some who are Fox News sources

Pew Research already found that FOX, CNN and MSNBC are highly biased. MSNBC is the worst offender, followed by FOX then CNN
Coverage of the Candidates by Media Sector and Cable Outlet | Pew Research Center's Journalism Project

The network news (ABC, CBS, NBC) were much better than the cable news channels

Nowadays I just read Reuters.com..

Fox News has a total of 2 Democrats as hosts, the same number as MSNBC has of Republicans. Both hire plenty of commentators to come on the air. There is no way you know how many commentators are on either channel because there is no way you can watch both for their entire 16 hours of live broadcasts.

Neither CBS or NBC( that is who edited the tape, not MSNBC) are liberal. Rather was following a story where multiple military personnel lied to him. He should have vetted his story but to argue the way you did is false. Same with NBC because their edit didnt change what Zimmerman said Martin looked to be up to no good.
Dream on. You're not even worth arguing with.
