Pretty dang impressive. I love watching MSNBC deliberately go so far to the left they are virtually off the board - and then get their A** handed to them in the ratings.

Cool.
That's what "Fair and Balanced" gets you.

If every one is favoring the Democratic Party then why are they watching Fox News? After all most of the networks are liber and did actually campaigned for him. Are the people saying that they don't trust left wing propaganda?

Unlike the Republicans ... we liberals aren't "hung up" on any one particular news channel ... like a Faux News.

So our viewers are divided amongst all the news networks, including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC.

And chances are, we liberals aren't watching news as often as we did in the past since we know our government is now in good hands.

Republicans still need to watch Faux News every day, so they can find something new to complain about!

Most liberals have other lives and watch other things like ER and American Idol on TV. Just because Fox leads does not mean they have a huge massive following.
Could not agree with you more. I have a distant friend/acquaintance who is a neoCON to the hilt and drinks the FAUX NEWS Kool-Aid 24/7, he watches nothing else... I have a life, he not so much... Must be truly depressing to be a neoCON...

I guess any station that doesn't have Karl Rove on it's payroll must be a "leftist station" in your eyes?

Isn't basing a thing's worth on its popularity is something that high schoolers do?

No, I consider any station that is a leftist station to be a leftist station.

+1 on that. It's kind of painfull and depressing though. Makes me wonder how so many of these idiots get elected in the first place.

Anyway, I used to be one of those idiots who refused to watch "Faux News", back when, though I watched a good amount of CNN and read a few news websites, I didn't really care to know much about politics beyond passing public opinions.

Also, I know some right wing nut is going to accuse and the fact is that historically I have voted mostly Democrat.

But then I started watching Fox one day. The truth is, they are pretty damn good. They've got their opinions just like the others, sure, but I notice many more facts presented, and argued well. When I was an idiot I read one of Al Franken's books where he went on and on about Splotchy Bill O'Reilly. I laughed, 'cause Al Franken is funny.

Now I watch Splotchy Bill and you know what, I decided he's damn good. He's not without fault, but he presents the facts extremely well. Now I don't doubt for a minute why his show has been #1 for like 8 years. Hannity is great at handling his guests, though he's a bit of a broken record sometimes. And Glenn Beck, I watched him on CNN where he was just as good. And Al Franken doesn't know f uck about politics, lol.

Also, lots of Fox News girls are hot.

Cliffs notes: Fox has shown me they present more facts and more reporting. The other stations seem to have less facts, more embellishment, and more plain b-itching. I think most people who say otherwise just plain refuse to even give them a chance. Probably because they are scared of what they will find.
