Teaparty far right think foxnews has gone to the left since the election, no im not making that up. Particularly after the election, Fox keeps turning to the left, said Stan Hjerlied, 75, of Fort Collins, Colo., and a participant in the boycott. He pointed to an interview Fox News CEO Roger Ailes gave after the election in which he said that the Republican Party and Fox News need to modernize, especially around immigration. So we are really losing our only conservative network. The three-day boycott lasted Thursday morning through Sunday morning, and is the second time this group of activists have gone Fox-free in an effort to steer the coverage. Organizers say a two-day boycott earlier this month knocked 20 percent off of the networks regular viewership. (A Daily Beast analysis of the same data showed that the boycott had little effect.) http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/03/23/why-tea-partiers-are-boycotting-fox-news.html
Well, I'm glad you have discovered The Great Secret: that nobody speaks for the vast cross-section of Americans that is the Tea Party, whose demographics practically MIRROR the nation's (despite nonstop Leftlies to the contrary), like STAN HJERLIED. What he says, GOES...no question about it.....
It's about time. No one seems to be talking about it, but there is an ideological divide that has been growing within the conservative movement over trade agreements and cheap immigrant labor.
And FOX is just another corporate whore machine, packaging their fodder to the dumbest of the right, like MSNBC does for the left. They have done a hell of a job though of convincing conservatives that they are a friend, when in reality they are nothing but another tool for neocons to trumpet war at every turn. Their morning show has become progressively stupid too. Watch C-Span, but be careful there too.
Actually, he's pretty typical. Fox News is the home of the "angry white man" . And the angry white man is 65 years old in Fox land, and 67 in Limbaugh looney land. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/live-feed/fox-news-oldest-cable-audience-54230 Note that this link is three years old, and young people are NOT flocking to Fox! http://theweek.com/article/index/239457/fox-news-plummeting-ratings-why-the-network-is-struggling - - - Updated - - - Actually, we know the opposite. That the tea party demographics DO NOT mirror those of the nation as a whole. http://static.sdu.dk/mediafiles//7/B/3/%7B7B30B0ED-7AA0-4065-952B-1FCAB8B161C9%7DWilliamson%20Skocpol%20Coggin%20Tea%20Party.pdf
That left wing talking point again. Fox News has long been more politically diverse than your heroes at MSNBC. As is the TEA Party. [video=youtube;hMdPTpOyUk4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMdPTpOyUk4[/video] The next time you want to forward a complete lie like that Tom, just know that it is really easy to embarrass you. This is not the DailyKos or ThinkProgress where you can just tell all sorts of left wing lies and the audience accepts it. I know for a fact that you and people like you have NEVER been to a TEA Party and rarely have seen Fox News.
The teaparties are partially responsible for the last election loss. they are way to far right and at 70 I can assure you that the bulk of Americans don't care what I think. I do know that they like to spend the taxes that I pay because I am still working. Thanks congress how are ya'll doing. Term limits will help end this insanity.
OK, so you give us a two or three year old YouTube video that CLAIM diversity. But the real demgraphics are quite diffrent: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...=qFeu2nms-6igd0Yh6YKUrg&bvm=bv.44158598,d.dmg You don't know anything about me at all "for a fact". I have been to several tea party events. And the crowds were always lilly white, lower middle class, and the atmosphere was fraught wing barely concealed racial tension. I don't make a habit of regularly watching Fox Noise. I can think of far more productive things to do with my time htan watching right wing AM talk radio with pictures. I like news. And Fox isn't news. MSNBC isn't much news either, for that matter. You got your ass kicked in the last election, and you still think that looney fraudsters like Michelle Bachman and Herman Cain represent the mainstream????? Go ahead! By all means!
After reading some of the Left's posts and threads this morning, it only has to be three points to get a higher IQ than the Left has been showing.
Wasnt referring to the constitution, theres lots of other far right issues than that. Actually most far righters dont mention the constitution.
Key thing people forget... Fox isn't necessarily "rightwing"....it's the REPUBLICAN PARTY's propaganda network. Push to shove, FNC will support the GOP over the Hard Right. Look at Hannity, who has now gone "soft" on "amnesty"....at the behest of the RNC. This is just portenting the increasing divide on the Right between ambitious Republicans...and their radical base. Whoever "wins"...the GOP will be a mess. "The suspense is terrible...I hope it lasts"----Willy Wonka
Fox News is as liberal as all other networks,but with a different mission.The Fox job is to weaken the strong.
That may be true, I hold many conservative values where I part company is this new far rights attack on everyone. They attack the working class middleclass all it appears at the behest of those that have it all. I find that offensive
