Foxing The Elephant: Are Republicans gaining votes because of Fox News? A study says that's likely

Once again we get the medieval notion of modern liberals that people think as they are told.

Freedom of speech for me but not for thee -- that about sums it up

[SevenofNine]

It's Rupert Murdoch fault LOL!

[Cicero]

So, the Toronto Star thinks it's OK that the broadcast media are 95% leftist, but turns its beady little eyes on the other 5% for questioning it.

At best, Fox is neutral. It only looks conservative in contrast with the screaming liberals everywhere else.

[Killborn]

Good. Because the DSM is an arm of the Demon party. We have no free press.

Until Rush, Fox News, the blogosphere, and FR came along.

[TommyDale]

Are Democrats gaining votes because of CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, & MSNBC News?

So Fox, by offering BOTH sides of the story equals Republican votes. So, they are saying that when people get fair and balanced news, they tend to vote Republican? What a concept!

" O'Reilly : "The left-wing press and the terrorists in Iraq have something in common," he said. "The terrorists want to damage the Bush administration, and so does the left-wing press."

Exactly true!

[ConservativeMind]

Look, Bill O'Reilly admits to being a partisan editorialist.

Since when did ABC News, or any other "non-partisan news" outlet, profess to be partisan except for now? We are being fed liberal tripe as "non-partisan news" and true conservatives are realizing it.

There is a huge, HUGE difference.

LOL

If it were so easy to sway minds, why are the libs losing so many elections since 96?

Why pay for marketing campaigns when all you have to do is to have some nutcase on a stepladder shouting out what to buy? (LOL assuming a free society-- don't the libs say how much they value civil liberties?)

[saveliberty]

They are mad that they are losing market share and can't get it back

[mbennett203]

"Except that few would agree that fairness is a virtue of O'Reilly or Fox News."

I love these cute throwaways. "We all know fox is biased and unfair, of course." Uh, no, *we* don't.

[goresalooza]

I hope BOR also realizes that FOX it tilting more left lately. That's the reason I won't watch them. I don't watch TV news at all. Who needs it?

[saveliberty]

Sure the DSM are free-- they tell us what to do and we are supposed to comply. Now it's time for us to pay the fee to the NYT to read Maureen Dowd.......

Bwhahahahahahhahahahhahaha

[SevenofNine]

Don't forget that annoying Commerical HEAD ON OMG I want kill that adverstier who dream on that LOL!

[saveliberty]

Evan Thomas said of the 2004 election that the old media coverage counted for as much as 15% points in the vote. He didn't back it up-- because he couldn't. But he was honest in pointing out that he and the HBM were liberal.

[txroadkill]

...viewers will often see anchors Sean Hannity...

Do you think they really didn't know that Hannity is not an anchor???

[saveliberty]

Right. And a win for Dems is victory for UBL and Al Qaeda. Another Western government who has lost the will to live.

[Mr. Buzzcut]

I always find it amusing when the Left, who have CNNNBCPBSABCMSNBCWAPONYT, whine about a couple conservative leaning outfits.

Apparently, they require 100% media saturation to prevail.

[saveliberty]

What's fabulous is that the internet is outstripping the old media in the news cycles. This means that we don't have to be spoon fed tripe unless we so choose.

[Notwithstanding]

One media source finally gives the GOP a fair shake, and the pissants begin to piss.
