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

....authors of a soon-to-be-published study in the Quarterly Journal of Economics suggest so. They claim, using empirical data, that Fox News's overt conservative-Republican bias actually influenced people to vote for the Republican Party in 2000, and to turn out in greater numbers to do so. They call it "The Fox News Effect."

Horse manure. The "Fox News Effect" has barely scratched the surface in beginning to undo the damage done by decades of liberal bias from the socialist Democrat press and network newsrooms. In fact, "the Fox News effect" can basically be summed up as "finally telling the truth about the Democrat agenda to turn America into a French-style, secular socialist welfare state."

Aside from a few America-hating, capitalism-hating socialist goofballs, Americans don't like that agenda. And so they stopped voting for Democrats. Surprise, surprise.

You've said it all.
Nothing to add.

LOL Okay, fair enough. Yes, the caveman commercials are wonderful.

And the Burger King commercials featuring "the king" give me the damned creeps.

... like he's goofin' on you while you're trippin'.

Let's remember that Mark Halperin is the son of Morton Halperin sometime head of the ACLU and a member of the Clinton Administration (State DepartmentP who never received a security clearance (Commie background) and who was the one who had his laptop stolen with all manner of sensitive information on it.

Left leaning? You could say so.

I haven't seen that one? Is it relatively new or was it an older one?

[massfreeper]

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

So when is someone going to do a study on how many people are influenced to vote Democrat because of the MSM?

[saveliberty]

Yes he is.

If I were out cutting trees and some guy with a giant head wearing leotards jumped from behind a tree and tried to hand me a sandwich, I'd cut him lengthwise with my ax or chainsaw. He's a freak.

But I like Geico's caveman commercials.

The restaurant ad ("I'll have the roast duck -- with the mango salsa.") is my all-time fave!

[saveliberty]

That is what Her Perkiness wants us to believe

[Killborn]

I kinda feel sorry for her. What Commieweird did to her was a despicable bait and switch. When she was to down on the toon, Douglas was sent overr to placate her. Overnight, she became more critical of Starr. Once his mission was done, he simply left her.

What she really needs is a loving conservative man.

Brings me to another hijack >ahem<, how many of the leftists we know and hate wouldn't be otherwise if circumstances were different. I believe LArdMoore is just concerned about one thing, green. If he thought that he'd make more cash being pro-American, he'd be representing our side.

Yikes! Don't hurt yourself reading liberal dross.

[tcostell]

You know... the big "thinking liberal" line is that they are only interested in providing government solutions where people say they want government to solve the problem. Well what rational person would want government to solve any problem if they knew the costs associated with it? The answer is none... and the only reason the costs of government are never discussed is because the MSM never mentions them.

All over the left they say that Americans want universal health care but who would want it if they knew the cost was a 2 year wait for essential surgery? They say they want lower gas prices and higher wages, but when government tries to solve either of those the cost is shortages of gas and high unemployment.

Thank god for Fox News. It's the only major media outlet that actually discusses both benefits and costs.

The restaurant ad ("I'll have the roast duck -- with the mango salsa.") is my all-time fave!

That's a gem, no doubt. He also does one where he sees an advertisement in an airport and another where he's being interviewed on a news program. He just gets so disgusted. It's hilarious.

[saveliberty]

Silenced is the word I would have chosen. Because the person's rep (among thinking people) is still intact.

[SevenofNine]

It was Capitol hill one commerical for summer months I seen it those barbarians they take over summer camp one of them has his hair braded by younger girl tribe LOL!

[Mr. Buzzcut]

I have long hair and (currently) much facial hair.

I am going to be a Geico caveman this Halloween! ;)

Brit Hume and his program is about the only one that can be watched. I've emailed them asking that his program be put on the local Fox Stations nationwide. Telling them it'd be a gold mine for them. And the majority of Americans would switch off network news and only watch him.

I've always wondered if FoxNews Sunday is bothering Brit these days. Wallace is promoting the dems this election cycle a lot.

There are times when I enjoy watching BOR. There are times in which he is pompous and irritating. But he can laugh at himself and that is what separates him from the old media.
