FoxNews doesn't present a 24/7 liberal bashing of conservative. Not perfect, FoxNews does seem to try to be moderate and objective.

On the other cable networks, when panels, for example, are stacked 3 libs to 1 conservative (who is actually a moderate, because they'd never go that far to the right), the agenda is obvious.

FoxNews seems more supportive of the President, the War on Terrorism, the Military.

The liberal media are still clueless. It isn't Paula Zahn, it's the in-your-face liberalization of the news. Why else would Good Morning America spend so many dollars advertising on Fox and Friends last year? It isn't the personalities, it's the moderate balance FoxNews presents.

If the other networks really want to improve their ratings, drop the agenda. FoxNews doesn't seem to have an agenda they are pushing. Most of the other alphabetchannels do have an agenda. Drop the agenda, present a moderate, equal balance of viewpoints, and and you might get some viewers back.

Bringing Phil Donahue out of retirement to be 'fair and balanced'? People aren't buying that any more since they have choices. Generally, people are sick of liberalization being crammed down their throats.

Wait 6 months and you will see a similar commentary about Air America Liberal Radio. It isn't going to work because the vast majority of radio listeners don't want to hear hours of Al Franken or Jeanine Garofalo bashing. Al needs new material. His jokes and 'funnies' are so lame that they even embarrass his female co-host.

Liberal media, consider this: People do have brains. Instead of agenda cramming, try treating veiwers as intelligent and informed, and capable of drawing their own conclusions. Drop the agenda, present unbiased or balanced views. People will respect that. But don't think people are stupid enough to buy, for example, Peter Jenning now being fair and balanced. Or Wolfie Blitzer. Or Larry King.

See, the people you treated as stupid and who really are buying your agenda still watch your channel. The people with brains and intelligence moved on--to FoxNews.

"But don't think people are stupid enough to buy, for example, Peter Jenning now being fair and balanced. Or Wolfie Blitzer. Or Larry King."

But that is exactly the strategy of the liberal media. Name one mainstream news personality who does not argue that Jennings, Blitzer, and King is not liberally biased. They all truly think that people are stupid enough to buy it.

You're right, the people with brains have already moved to FOX .

CNN's problem is the next step -- the people who hate to stand alone will also move to FOX. When that happens, CNN's numbers will plummet.
