Since Fox News is approved of by the masses, and the message of MSNBC is most disapproved of,
that proves the superiority of the liberal worldview of MSNBC.
Fox News: 6.6 million overall (1.8 million 25 to 54)
CBS: 5.4 million (1.5 million)
NBC: 4.2 million (1.5 million)
ABC: 3.1 million (1.1 million)
CNN: 1.9 million (912,000)
MSNBC: 1.6 million (566,000)
I know FOX isn't perfect and I hear plenty of complaints here on FR about FauxNews, etc.
I know Bechtel and Juan Williams are pains in the rear to listen to.
But the thing is; a reliably more conservative news network is emerging as the leader, and the drivebys don't like it one... darn ...bit.
You will see increased efforts by the Obamunists to shut Fox down. Frankly they are now the only independent source of news—the rest are controlled by Obama and the Dems, especially as the Atkinsson stories are showing.
With the caveat that I can no longer view FNC.
My impression has been is that FNC is not so much conservative, as it is not as obviously left biased as the other guys. And the absence of that strong left bias, makes FNC look conservative.
Maybe FNC really is “fair and balanced” eh?
oh, coming from the liberal city of Baltimore? That is going to get some panties in a bunch.
I wouldn’t even call them conservative outside the editorial commentary shows. Its just that in a world where all other news is blatantly hard left, anything with any kind of balance appears right leaning.
I had to completely turn off FOX news today. They’ve gone “Johnny-one-note about Fergistan and I’ve heard enough of Juan, Bob, Geraldo, and every ghetto “reverend” demanding “Justus” for a while. They’re almost as bad as CNN was about the missing plane.

The polls/news media and most politicians have missed the “mood” of the US.....
They just dont get it.
As Joe Friday-Dragnet used to say, I just want the facts, ma’am. The alphabet lame media sold out to liberal land. Sorry they lose.
Fox News is still amateur hour after all these years on breaking news. They broke away into repeats with Ferguson last night while CNN and MSNBC still were covering it live. Their divas want to get some sleep and they refuse to pay for a 2nd tier crew.
They’re beating the three main networks also?
What station did you watch last night from the time got home? I put FOX on. And it stayed there, and each hour was better, with the exception perhaps of Hannity. But, I don’t think twice about the channel, and this has been this way for years now.
Fox News: 6.6 million overall (1.8 million 25 to 54) CBS: 5.4 million (1.5 million) NBC: 4.2 million (1.5 million) ABC: 3.1 million (1.1 million) CNN: 1.9 million (912,000) MSNBC: 1.6 million (566,000)Equals:
6.6 million right-of-center or centerist viewers.
16.1 million leftist viewers.
A) They are actually available when I want to watch local news.
B) Sure there is a bias, but it offsets the bias of other outlets.
C) There are NO unbiased news channels in this country.
No need to apologize for Fox. Research by a left-wing university (can’t remember which one) showed that they are slightly right of center. Just about everybody else is left or far left. If Fox was a total sell out to conservatives it would be an incredibly boring news resources. They use left wingers as they should be used...to give the left-wing perspective. I have no problem with that. I want to know what those bastards are thinking. Remember, balanced news is a win for conservatives, because on a balanced playing field, the conservative argument almost always wins. We did not have that forum 20 years ago.
I think that, while the ratings news is good, the stats are deceptive. If I did the math correctly, the true comparison is left-wing news outs 16.2 million, slightly right of center news (Fox) 6.2 million. Doesn’t look as good now, does it?
I use to use this point with a friend in the radio business whose rock station repeatedly out-rated the pop stations. “But,” I would point out, “how do you rate when you add all the pop stations together, given that there are four or five of them and only one rock station?”
Answer: “Oh...”
I had an argument with an Obama sycophant about this.
I tell him that yes, Fox is a right-leaning network where you do actually hear liberal opinions from liberals.
The other networks are liberal networks where you hear liberals who consider conservatives to be heinous give the conservative opinion.
People who hold those opinions don’t like to be insulted.
“I know Bechtel and Juan Williams are pains in the rear to listen to.”
Beckel and Williams outnumber the conservatives on all liberal stations combined, by 2.
Actually, Fox does give more than one side of the story. Sometimes it gives three sides of the story: GOPe, conservative and leftist. Depends on the program.
And there are several leftist and GOPe commentators on Fox that are automatic mute button material. Sometimes, what particular people will say is so predictable it's a total waste of time to even listen.
The nation is so polarized on many issues, nothing is learned by listening when you already know what a particular group thinks about an issue.
6.6+5.4+4.2+3.1+1.9+1.6+ 22.8 million.
The real story might be that a whopping 22.8 million, out of what, 200 million adults, watched any TV elections returns at all. Somewhere around 10%. Of course, some people got their election return news by other methods, but that is a tiny number of all adults.
Low information voters, or non-voters make up by far the largest group.
The correct comparison is not Fox News -vs- any one of the others, but fox news -vs- all of them since they all present the same viewpoint.
I tried to watch it last night and I just didn’t like the coverage. I don’t care for hannity’s drama. CNN wasn’t better. But I did enjoy watching Cuomo and Don Lemon running around like scarlet cats saying they were getting tear gassed...and then coming right back on the air.
If they were hit with tear gas, they would not be standing around. They would be choking and rolling around on the ground.
