This story tells why so many normal people no longer watch Fox news. As near as I can figure "Fox plays to the fringe" these days.

ok...like MSNBC, CBS and NBC aren't liberal TV. Man, if the liberals don't get their way 100% of the time, they sure do cry and whine like toddlers. It's very amusing.

Fox has its' niche of viewers and that's it. They preach and perform to those masses and I'm proud to say that I haven't watched Fox News for many months.

That's why I don't watch ANY news channels... it's all biased towards something. I wish people would step away from the boob tube and do some research of their own once in a while.

What's your definition of a "normal" person? Does that mean that anyone who watches Fox news is "abnormal"? And to think that all this time I was told that diversity is something to be celebrated.

Agreed. More and more FOX News viewers as well as viewers of CNN, MSNBC, and the broadcast networks are falling for the misinformation. It's obvious if you spend a few minutes reading all the b.s. posts on C-D.

People are reading less and listening more to the talking heads on television and radio. American journalism needs to improve, quickly.

"In our poll, 72% of self-identified FOX News viewers believe the health-care plan will give coverage to illegal immigrants, 79% of them say it will lead to a government takeover, 69% think that it will use taxpayer dollars to pay for abortions, and 75% believe that it will allow the government to make decisions about when to stop providing care for the elderly. But it would be incorrect to suggest that this is ONLY coming from conservative viewers who tune in to FOX. In fact, 41% of CNN/MSNBC viewers believe the misinformation about illegal immigrants, 39% believe the government takeover stuff, 40% believe the abortion misperception, and 30% believe the stuff about pulling the plug on grandma. What’s more, a good chunk of folks who get their news from broadcast TV (NBC, ABC, CBS) believe these things, too."

Wow, you beat me to it again.

Funny to see people whine and cry about Fox when the loons have CNN, MSNBC, CBS, C Cspan and even Dora the racist explorer on the liberal side promoting anti American policies.

I just think people like this are scared and jealous because they know FOX NEWS in number one by a long shot, they have 8 of the top 10 shows in TV and blow away to competition with ease.

Get used it to, Fox is number one and since the ObamAcorn Admin has declared war on them, I hope they go after the idiot even more to exposed his criminal activities within in admin.

Go Fox go, the end of liberalism is near!!

End of liberalism? Surely you jest, I mean Fox doesn't promote Conservatism, it preaches pro-war liberalism.

Fox is no more conservative than MSNBC is liberal, they are corporatist and have no problems creating a dichotomy in pubic opinion for the sake of ratings and profit.

I'm with you. I don't know if you watch Glenn Beck at all, but if you don't, you need to watch his show and see the red "Bat Phone" he had installed for a direct line into the studio for the WH to call and debate what he's saying, or atleast call him out on something wrong.... I think it's f'ing hilarious how he keeps asking Anita to call him. Obviously there hasn't been a peep from the WH. Pretty telling isn't it?
