    Fox is a totally rotten pest hole of insane rightwing propaganda!

    Not really but since no leftwingers have responded as of yet I thought that I would start the ball rolling for you.

    In reality the success of Fox is because unlike the the bulk of the MSM it actually tends to tell the complete story rather than just default to what amounts to such slanted leftwing perspectives that it becomes nothing more than propaganda. People are flat out tired of that stuff.

    I use CNN.com as my primary, I don't have TV at all, too useless, then I go to Yahoo News, and then search when I see the BS, there are great sources out there, but you got to find them yourself if you want to trust them or not...

    I find reality keeps putting me almost or exactly with the opinions of places like FOX, I'm conservative, but don't go to their sources if I can help it, yet end up with the similar opinions. Oh well...

    The reality I've seen, for what it's worth is that in America it's almost totally all liberal slanted, I don't say that easily, it just is. It has become so obvious it's disgusting, and so counter to global news in general, which is why I'd suggest going to find other sources...

    On that note, only trust something if numerous sources from around the globe support it...

    They slant right, no doubt, but everyone else is sooooooo far left now, the truth isn't in America anymore...

    Fox should buy MSNBC, I'd die laughing.

    Hey, Fox tells you what you want to hear, rather than what is real. So of course it's popular with people who like to be lied to. It's not a surprise at all. I don't watch any cable news, because it's all stupid. I don't need to be pandered to.

    But hey! Who am I to spoil your fun. Oh wait, here you go:

    I haven't watched Fox or MSNBC for half a decade now. I read Yahoo! News and the BBC. Many people include Al Jazerra in the mix but the thought sort of makes my skin crawl. I can just see the NSA saying hmmmmmm . . . we'd better watch this guy.

    I check many, Al Jezererra as well, mostly depends on region really, but either way, the US media can't be trusted for (*)(*)(*)(*), it's so bought and paid for we actually believe that Kurds liberated a town they never lost in the fight against ISIS, such trash... Getting really sick of it in general though...

    Fox is the channel that airs everything a Republican wants to hear.

    And then they wonder why their country is falling down the plughole.

    *Just an Opinion::omg:

    *Because it's the only major news source that doesn't openly cheer-lead for the Democrat party.

    `Fox News has this annoying (to liberals) habit of presenting `both sides` of an issue. It has another annoying habit of *not being politically correct....

    *What is certain is that libs only like news that makes them feel comfortable in their self-described pseudo-superiority...

    ....Hence they will quote such reliable sources as `Al-Jazeera` as being more reliable.
    They have a firm grip on the media, but in their odd worldview the media isn't far enough to the left. They think that everybody should think like they do.....

    *They do not respect other views and do not believe in tolerance or diversity.....In Short..
    Truth is mental torture to them. Liberals can't stand truth and reality....`


    `A little example here:

    `Liberals are shockingly quick to demean and dismiss brilliant black people like Rice, Carson, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Professor Walter E. Williams and economist Thomas Sowell because they don’t fit into the role they have carved out for a black person in America.
    *Black Americans must be obedient liberals on all things or risk being called a race traitor or an Uncle Tom.

    Take the time (4:14) watch and learn....

    No, he had it right the first time.

    Say you have six independent bakers in town....and five of them sell bread....but one sells vanilla cake with strawberry icing and jelly beans and cherries on top and is the only one who sells that.

    And you have a percentage in town who love that cake and only buy from that bakery.....by simple proportional mathematics, that Vanilla Cake Bakery will be "the most popular independent bakery"

    BTW, you naturally have to EXCLUDE the brand-name chain grocery stores (the Broadcast Networks).......because if you include them, the Vanilla Cake Bakery's "audience" is small.

    But basically, Beevee got it right....you love Fox because....they tell you exactly what you WANT to hear. And if there's a dissenting opinion....it is outnumbered 3:1 or 4:1 and talked over by Sean or Jeff Gutfeld.

    Some on the left are starting to realize there is more going on in the world than Sarah Palin and Ferguson, MO.

    To learn about any of it, they will have to abandon their usual sources.

    And everything the Democrats don't want to hear, but should. That's why the country is falling apart.

    Liberals have FNC because they don't tote the Obama party line. That alone makes it my favorite.

    Gee how can that be. I read not to long on these boards the average Fox viewer was around 65 years old. Must have been a Liberal posting it.

    But Fox is covering Ferguson.....wall-to-wall....and Fox is the only network where Glacier Gidget shows up on (because they won't ask her tough questions like "Can you explain that more, please?" :) )

    - - - Updated - - -

    Want to re-state that?

    - - - Updated - - -

    BTW, no matter how the Fox Cultists slice and dice it....it's still CABLE.


    The Broadcast Networks still get the big numbers. Fox can beat MSNBC...but it's just the biggest fish...in a small pond.

    Yea, typo. I meant liberals HATE FNC because they don't tote the Obama party line.

    FNC is the highest rated cable news network. Of course they aren't higher than broadcast, which is also why they aren't compared to broadcast. Every viewer of FNC must pay for cable or satellite to get the channel, so they have hundreds of channels to choose from yet chose FNC. Broadcast people only have ABC, CBS or NBC. So of course they will be higher, they get it free. It's also available to just about every American, but cable isn't.

    Everyone is. It's become a national spectacle thanks to the White House/Sharpton/Holder.

    The difference is how they are reporting it.
    FOX is saying "innocent until proven guilty".... whereas the liberal MSM is invested in the racial divide.
    Go figure.


    While I don't believe you, I will admit I don't watch FOX nearly as much as you.
    When I don't like something I avoid it... I don't obsess over it and complain about it.


    If I'm deciphering your grammar correctly, I should point out the obvious..... I am talking about reporting on Palin... not reporting by Palin.




    And apples taste different from oranges.

    You're welcome.
