Now if only every other phrase uttered on their network was "Lies and Biases," we wouldn't have a problem them.
Those who use Think Progress as their source of information about anything other than progressive (liberal) crap should think a bit more than I think they do. Think Progress was created for one purpose, and that is to take Fox down along with others who aren't progressive.
Yes, that is exactly why Fox gets high ratings. People wanting news that tilts left have half a dozen TV options. People who want neocon tilted news only have Fox.
People brag about Fox's ratings without realizing if there were 1 or 2 other stations similar to Fox, their viewership would be cut in half or more.
But there aren't 1 or 2 other stations similar to Fox. That is why that station is attacked so much, because it's not a leftist news station.
Its the old attck the messageer as always. Many people would suppress anyhtig they don't agree with. We even see the administrtion doing this which i thnik is a danger. they don't have to agree with tehm and most presdient have dislike the mnedia in general for years but that is no excuse to decide to not confront them on the terms of policy maker and media that all represent citizens of certian beliefs. it really make this administration seem petty at best.
The President of Fox"""News""" said" We assume that our viewers understand the difference between News and Editorial and understand that our broadcasts are the later"
In other words it's not news and they believe you o be intelligent enough to know the difference
Fox news wins as long as they are the #1 rated cable news network.
What do they win? 1st prize for proving that "Idiocracy" is a wide spread reality and not just a scary and funny movie? Or a promise that we are headed that way?
And that's good. Also note the number one rated network show is "American Idol". This goes a long way to prove your point that pure fantasy and a general condition of low brain activity can quickly rise to number one and stay there.
lol!!! Yes, American tv viewers have shown that they far prefer good feelings and fluff. Don't tell us about neutral broadcasting. If it doesn't make us feel better or support our outrage in a very specific and manipulative way, it's got to be a media conspiracy. It must support our beliefs and make us feel better (or outraged in the right way) to be good and accurate news.

No, they know there are a lot of viewers who don't know the difference. They purposefully make it confusing. Every show has a "FOX NEWS" logo on the bottom corner. Why is it called "FOX news" if it's not news? Why say "fair and balanced" when it's editorial? Because people will think it's the whole truth when it's really skewed in favor of the ultra-rich right who pay for it. It is a propaganda tool that gets so many people to vote against their own interests.
