Fox takes the top 6 out of 10 spots. Way to go America!
1. There is one network with a strong conservative bias, so of course it will attract all of that audience. The others are either liberal (MSNBC) or mixed (CNN and the networks), and therefore split the rest.
2. Conservative ideology is far more rigid, whereas liberal ideology is far more grey tones. So, it's far easier to get someone in there who will just reiterate talking points to rile up people's firm sense of the world. Liberals don't tend to listen to talking points of that nature for this reason. They tend to grasp the complexity and turn to sources such as NPR to hear that complexity.
3. One need only have watched Sean Hannity tonight twist Obama's statement to become a whole segment on "Obama vs. FDR", taking both completely out of context to make a propaganda point.
Hannity's a joke. I can't believe anyone takes him seriously. O'Reilly is worthy of respect. He thinks for himself.

Wow, lots of nice theories. When you actually perform a scientific study to reinforce your tin foil hat hypotheses, I'll be glad to review your published findings.
The right wing thinks EVERY media network, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, ABC, CBS, C-Span is LIBERAL. FOX is apparently the only one that is fair because it agrees with their right-wing views.
You're getting it!You're getting it!They ARE liberal.You did leave out PBS however,they are as far left as MSNBC.
What is your point. What do you think this means? Since we know that a majority of americans voted for obama and the people at fox are slanted to a predominantly republican audience then that means that there are a lot democrats and liberals who are not watching the networks...because they have lives. You too can get one, but you can't buy it from Walmart or by watching O'Reilly

That's great, you're number one at letting the cable news wash all over you when you get home. That's fine, as long as these types aren't running the country, which they are not.

I won't hold my breath.
1. Umm.... look it up. It's a well known fact that Fox secures high ratings because they funnel all of the conservatives to one channel who seek to reinforce their ideological beliefs.
2. I don't know how you can argue against the fact that liberals see the world in far more gray tones. I'm not just a liberal, but anyone can see that it's far easier to say "No government! Follow the 10 Commandments!" than it is to take the opposite side where the amount of government involvement in relation to the free market is far more nebulous (nobody screams "No business!) and the ethics and morality of what is right and wrong are not prescribed by one religion's book. It's not an insult on either side, just a reality.
3. Hannity took Obama's statement that his administration has done more in its first 4 months than any since FDR, twisting that to be some comparison Obama was drawing with FDR and then selectively choosing soundbites from both to draw distinctions that Obama never intended. That's propaganda on a scale that would make even Keith Olbermann blush.
So, you can breathe again. And when you draw your next breath, try having a conversation instead of insulting and attacking.

The majority of Americans, at least the Obama voters who constituted the recent electoral majority, don't want to buy anything. They just want the government to give it to them. So you should modify your comments and instead say....."you too can get one, and the government will give one to you if you don't have one."

Funny. My statement may have went over your head. What I was simply stating is that too many people are watching television...based on these numbers...too many watching Fox. What a huge waste of time.
