Not to defame people whose income only allows them to live in mobile homes but you show me a trailer park and I will show you several busloads of Democratic voters.

Oh, that's it! Yes, liberals are soooooo smart! Where are the "smart" liberals, as I have never met one. Any of the libs I have met have been flaming idiots with an elitist chip on their shoulder. They are the academic equivilent of a kid who sat on the bench in high school, but is a "star" in his own mind later in life.

Foolish empty empathy does not equal intelligence; in fact, it shows lack of intelligence and naivity. It is a good thing that those GED toting liberals are so "smart"- they make conservatives with average intelligence look like Einstein.

And yet you provided me the link to the study that showed that liberals were more intelligent than conservatives with white liberal females being the most intelligent group, well outperforming white conservative males.

Have you ever left your county? There's a whole big world outside of your neck of the woods.

What competition? There is not one news outlet that is a viable alternative to Fox. It is a right-wing monopoly with no competition.

Default Fox is fair

Fox is the only channel that is reporting on ACORN. That ought to tell you why the others shows are down. WHY aren't Olgarman,maddho reporting it? Oh no that right someone spoke against the Prez so now lets try to destroy them. ooooooooooo

And, of course, this doesn't stop them from accusing all liberals from watching Olbermann religiously, though the numbers certainly refute that. But ah, what are facts when there is propaganda to spew.
It's weirder that that take it as a "personal" victory. Like rooting for a sports team.
I think people root for Fox News because those with Conservative value literally have no other outlet on television. Nada. Maybe South Park. The Wall St Journal. Conservative books. What else is out there?
So, after getting slammed all day, every day on every network, every other cable news channel, every other non news channel (History Channel, MTV, VH1, etc...)... it is a breath of fresh air to see OBVIOUS points reported while they are IGNORED everywhere else.

And posting that Liberals read more than Conservatives? C'mon... grow up!

O'Reilly is so proud of being the leader for so many years but he is about to go to second place and Beck will be the leader. I normally watch HGTV when O'Reilly is on but never do I watch Oprah instead of Beck, especially since Beck has stopped hamming it up. He is very serious these days and more and more people are understanding that.

Every IQ and standarized test in the world will show that Asian men are the most intelligent group. Then white men. Then Asian women. Then white women. Then blacks men. And then black women. When the President of Harvard indicated that men were smarter then women he was correct. Maybe he shouldn't have said it but he was factually correct.

Anyone besides me notice that income levels (at least in the US) tend to follow along the same path as intelligence levels. Could just be coincidence.

Polls indicate that the more educated a person is the more likely they are to consider themselves "conservative" The less educated one is the more likely they are to be libs.

I find this to be true in my life. It seems whenever I meet someone that quit school early they are Democrats. For example, I know a guy that quit school in 8th grade. The other day he told me property taxes in Chicago were high because to many Republicans are running that town. LOLs.

The total number of television households within the US (including Alaska and Hawaii) will be 112.8 million by January 1, 2008 - an increase of 1.3% from the previous year - with the number of viewers age 2+ increasing 1%, to 286 million, the Nielsen Company estimates (http://www.nielsen.com/media/pr_070823.html - broken link).
These estimates, along with breakdowns by age and demographics, are effective August 27, 2007 and will be used for the entire 2007-2008 television season.
Nielsen’s national Universe Estimates (the estimate of persons living in TV households) reflect the continued migration of the Baby Boom generation into older demographic groups, Nielsen said.
One of the fastest growing demographic categories was persons age 55-64, which increased 3.9%. In contrast, the number of young adults under the age of 50 grew just 0.3% from last season.


US Television Households Increase 1.3% for 2007-2008 Season


I do not get the big deal about FOX NEWS " viewer" ratings for its sad,pathetic and misinformation news shows there are a little more of a estimated 112.8 million televisions in households in the US. That means 95% of the people looking at tv ARE NOT LOOKING AT FOX NEWS.
Great job. You said this sad,pathetic and misinformation news shows about Fox and yet they caused 4 people to lose their jobs with ACORN in two days and they were alone in reporting about what was going on. Today the Census Bureau threw ACORN out of next year's census. Who talks about ACORN as much as Fox. They do more to expose that bunch than all the other TV people added together. Yep they are sad pathetic and according to ACORN full of misinformation but they are getting more effective all the time.

That was one great job of adding, subtracting and dividing though. Did you use any multiplication in the figuring?
