Courtesy ping. You was right, but over the top in pointing it out.
Only two are slightly to the right of center: McNeill-Lehrer at about a "54" (with 50 being center) and "Good Morning America" at a 52.
FOX rated a 46. Most of the others---the nightly news shows---were in the low 30s/high 20s and some of the MSNBC stuff was in the single digits, if I recall.
Yet Americans as a whole were around 56, meaning NO news source was on a par with their views, that ALL were to the left (including FOX) and the most interesting finding Groseclose had was that the media's effects slanted the public's rating even further left and that with a true "fair and balanced" media at about 50, the public would rate in the mid- to high 60s (i.e., toward conservatism.)
Seems to me that several apologies are owed to Geronimo. KWIM?
And if Soros is pumping $$ into it, which he is, how can anyone doubt what’s going on? Geraldo continues to show his stupidity.
Jerry Rivers is just another asshole
Jerry Rivers is just another liberal asshole defending the enemies of America...never doubt it...
FOX call themselves fair and balanced, what they really are is bound and chastised.
Not bold and afraid to take a stance. Perfect for the GOP RINO folks.
You got the gist of the article as well. Of course, it's The Guardian, so we can't expect anything like objective commentary from the likes of these people. I always read the comments from the ignorati in the comments section who chime in with the writer to laugh at the inane comments. Oh well, American lefties don't get American conservatism so I shouldn't expect Brit lefties to get it either.
Geraldo sup[ports OWS, so you have to expect this kind of nastiness from him. Remember when the pretty much threatened Michelle Malkin because she disagreed with him on illegal immigration? Geraldo is a hateful, vitriolic, anti-American racist. Remember, he was part of the Young Lords. That tells you everything you need to know about him.
Fox ought to fire him. He’s a bad journalist and he’s bad for the network’s image.
thanks for pointing that out.
They’re also supported by the American Nazi Party.
Fascinating study, but liberals will never believe it — and I don’t believe that either “The News Hour” (a Pinko Brodcasting System show, after all) or “Good Morning America” are right of center. To assert that they are is just silly.
Ditto.
Albeit, I think Beck and Fox made a mistake in him leaving Fox.
Beck had a huge audience and enormous influence amongst conservatives.
I’ve noticed recently instead of Fox reporting a terrorist screaming “Allah Akbar” they now refer to it as “God is great in Arabic”.
Ailes is getting old, fat, and senile. Time for Brit Hume to take over.-—————
that’s left enough. I’ll turn it off.
I could have written this word for word myself - I could not agree more with what you have said. I am so fed up with FOX, that like you - I have not watched more than an hour this month myself. I will turn it on every so often to see what's on & switch channels in disgust within 5 minutes.
FOX News is not a friend to real conservatives.
GRRRRRREAT thread! HOORAY Glenn Beck! Glenn Beck is OUTSTANDING!
Thanks to all of the wonderful people associated with gbtv, theblaze, the radio show and glennbeck.com.
....if I see Beckel one more time...! Insanity prevails with the likes of whoraldo, coombs, BOR, schlep and that whole mess of left wingers....I can’t handle it much longer!
I used to have FoxNews on all the time, as a practical default channel. But after that repugnant incident, Ive barely watched more than a few snippets, adding up to less than an hour this entire past month. I absolutely loathe CNN with a passion, but Ive started watching them more, just for a few needed headlines. Just because Im so intensely disgusted with FoxNews.
Pretty much the same for me especially since they dtarted the five.
