If you didn't care as much you claim, you wouldn't be responding?
With hundreds of posts trashing FOX ALL the time, it gives us a little tickle to see their viewership going UP and the radical lefist MSNBC going down. ESPECIALLY among the younger viewers which many on here claim ONLY "grey headed" people watch FOX.
Yep.
In fact, here are the prime-time ratings from Monday, when the Indiana religious liberties controversy was in full foaming at the mouth mode on the left. This is among the 25-54 age group, which is the younger people.
FOX News hosted Glenn Greenwald on a number of occasions, even celebrated his rhetorical win over Meet the Press's David Gregory on the Snowden debate.
Question 1: When did MSNBC ever give Greenwald air time?
Question 2: Does most of the progressive left even know who Greenwald is?
If the alphabet networks actually started reporting again on important stories people want to hear about, I'd suspect Fox's ratings would go down some. But as long as they generally ignore or minimize stories that may make Dems look bad so they can concentrate on GOP related stories, people will go to places like Fox for news.
My wife and I have a running joke that we parlay every single night of the week: "Let's turn on NBC Nightly News and see what Brian Williams is not telling us tonight!" Together we could always pick apart his stories to identify the glaring and blatant omissions and falsehoods. Now that we know he's a serial fabricator, it makes it that much more funny that we have this running commentary going on every night. LOL
Now that Lester Holt is anchoring, we have seen a noticeable difference in the lack of falsehoods/omissions. Most of it is because Lester takes a fairly simplistic approach to reporting by touching the high points and letting the correspondent's fill in the actual details. I'll take that over Williams' terrible reporting any day of the week.
The bottom line is we all should know by now that today's journalists are not much more than left-wing/right wing bloggers with a travel card. I have no respect for hardly any of them anymore.
What is interesting is how MSNBC's ratings have continued to be awful even during the kerfuffle about Indiana's religious liberties law. It used to be that MSNBC would spike whenever there was a story all the lefties got worked up about. But if the crew at MSNBC cannot even capitalize on this sort of event, then dispassionately speaking, from a business perspective this experiment really may have run it its course.
Not that I want MSNBC to go away. They are a true political freak show illustrates quite vividly what the priorities of that political perspective really are. If NBC does change course with that channel - by no means a certainty - MSNBC will be nostalgically missed many, including many on the right, including myself.
Not that I watch anymore, but it is nice to know that I could if I wanted to.
That's easy. Most people don't care about Indiana. LOL

There's no shortage of omission from the progressive left--which, from the Warsaw Pact East Bloc, to the DPRK--is historically notorious for censorship.
Most important States' Rights story of the century. 1000 people staring down federal BLM the latter intent on stealing property of a rancher who'd (and whose family had) been paying grazing fees to Nevada for decades, and using land --and infrastructure--passed down through the family since the 1800s. Last rancher of 50 former neighbors still standing in the area.
All over Drudge--top story for several days in a row. Even MSNBC, and CNN couldn't ignore the import of the story.
The feds back down--hours after Sen. Reid's involvement is revealed as well as the existence of a Sept. 2012 New American article entitled _"Harry Reid Bolsters Son’s Interests in Chinese Solar Plant Deal"_. The land where the Bundy controversy errupted was to be used for mitigation easement for such a development.
Any sentient American would think this is a story:
Well, not the august New York Times. Like Brezhnev era Soviet media, it doesn't exist. One only need look up "Bundy" in the Search field on the top page of nytimes.com to discover not a trace, anywhere, in Newest, Oldest or Relevance--until six full days after the climactic stand-down (when a leftist Big Government-militarized BLM retreated).
Where NYT finally manages to acknowledge the 10th Amendment incident that made staffers on 8th Ave. squeal in panic to themselves for a month, with a petulant Timothy Egan opinion piece buried inside.
SOUR GRAPES... but the left has like 10 slanted news stations to choose from..
