I remember in the early days, none of the cable services wanted to carry FoxNews. It didn’t come to mine for five years after it should have. For a long time there wasn’t an HD version also.
Now it’s kicks everyone’s butt (on cable). Gotta love it.
Wish they had FoxNews on at airports and the like...
Fox News Channel has far too many liberal anchors and commentators to be considered right-wing. BTW, how many conservative anchors and commentators does MSNBC have?
Where did you think the “low information voters” got their news?
but calling Iranian Mullah’s the “TEA Party” is not biased at all, right?

Move to a rural red state locale.
Arm heavily.
Prep.
and pray
Pelley’s face relaxes into a liberal sneer.
Where have we seen this before ?
Internet Explorer has more users than Firefox or Chrome because it is included with the Windows operating system - that does not make it better.
Sounds like jealousy to me. SeeBS only has 4 viewers.
And 2 of them are still in diapers!
The (Fox News) ratings for May, 2013 (Nielsen Live + Same Day data):
Primetime (Mon-Sun): 1,973,000 Total Viewers / 308,000 A25-54
Total Day Mon-Sun): 1,246,000 Total Viewers / 236,000 A25-54
Fox News was the third most-watched network in all of cable in both primetime and Total Day. The network had the top 13 programs in cable news in Total Viewers and the top eight programs in A25-54 viewers.
Compared to the same month last year, Fox News was up +24% in Total Viewers and down -5% in the A25-54 demographic in Total Day. In primetime, the network was up +17% and down -6%, respectively.
Does anyone know the “real” reason that ALL airports in America have CNN exclusively on the monitors, NEVER Fox?
Lots of old people and those too stupid to use a computer still watch the 'evening news'... Scott Pelley's spin on why people don't trust the news shows is funny.
. Some years back I had a conversation with a guy who wrote for my local newspapers ( and for the AP for many years before that...) Anyhow, he felt the paper was losing readers because of spelling, punctuation, and 'style-book' type errors.
I laughed.
The paper didn't have one conservative on staff and was known for it's 'left of left' stance on most issues. He just overlooked that elephant in the room.
It was like talking to a person who watched a bridge fall into a river after being hit by a barge - and that person is talking about seeing a sea gull walk on the bridge - and 'maybe that's why the bridge came down'...
Scott - it's not simple 'mistakes' in breaking news - that's going to happen. It's things like missing the importance of the IRS targeting people based on their political beliefs. Tell me CBS, would that story have been covered differently if the IRS had targeted gays unfairly for a few YEARS?
CBS Anchor Scott Pelley Has ‘Meltdown’ at N.Y. Post After He Skipped Network’s Own Scandal Scoop
It looked bizarre. After CBS broke the State Department scandal on Monday’s “CBS This Morning,” there was nothing on “CBS Evening News.” The New York Post “Page Six” gossips suggested it was “because Pelley and his EP, Pat Shevlin, were peeved” it broke in the morning, not on their show.
Snip
CBS turned to the State Department scandal Tuesday night only after two stories on Edward Snowden and the surveillance leaks. Pelley’s idea of heavy news Monday included the non-news that “Nelson Mandela remains in serious but stable condition tonight.” CBS also jumped on jury selection starting in the George Zimmerman trial, because CBS loves covering local trials with racial overtones — unless they’re about reckless abortionists.
Not just airports, but doctor’s waiting rooms...
I didn’t realize the open air networks even still had news shows. I haven’t seen them in years. How do they even begin to measure their numbers? Nearly everyone is on cable and their numbers are easy to measure.
I believe Nielsen is pretty much the industry standard for measuring tv watching.
Remember that a huge percentage of homes receive their network stations via cable, satellite, or internet.
I didn’t realize the networks still had news. I watch Fox because I like OR and VS. The other Fox news shows are just OK.
When there is a major breaking story, I switch back and forth between Fox and CNN. Too much redundancy when something breaks and then they cycle the story.
I often think 24-7 news is bad. Have to fill up the time.
The deal with news isn’t the reporters etc. They mostly look good. It is the editorial policies about which stories they DON’T cover.
I get a lot of news from the www, including this site and sometimes I just look at my start up and follow a few headlines.
I read the LA Times a lot because it’s free where I eat breakfast. Can’t miss the poor (illegal) immigrant story of the week. The deal with the times is they are an omitter. Left out Benghazi for weeks and then just scant cover of the hearings.
I think the best approach is to seek out multiple sources. That’s the best chance to catch a lot of stories. Left out Benghazi for weeks and then just scant cover of the hearings.
I think the best approach is multiple sources. And then think.
I would watch a straight down the line international, national and local news program which had good investigative reporting. I don’t think there is much of that today. I liked the gal at CBS that hit Benghazi hard or was it fast and furious. Where is the reporting like that on other issues.
If there were better owners and editors, I think news coverage like that would be successful.
Fox news is better than the otters, but still hit and miss.
.
He’s drunk on his own stupidity.
As such, speaking of "order of magnitude," Pelley was wrong by a factor of ten.
For a 'news' anchor who thinks small 'mistakes' are the MSM's main problem - this is funny...
