Does anybody know if it's possible to invest in Foxnews or NYpost?
I think conservative media is going to grow substantially for the long-term

A Measure of Media Bias (research shows Drudge/Fox centrist, NYT far liberal)

It is no surprise that FOX News Channel garners more than half of cable news audience during second quarter.

They will never admit their bias. If they were bears, they would never admit that they crap in the woods. Both are obvious to anyone with a brain.

What a huge surprise on the Fourth of July weekend, the major media networks are biased left. I'd never have guessed.

I'm suprised they are suprised; they must have recently awakened from a forty year coma.

Both are owned by News Corporation (NWS on the NYSE), closed at $35.61 yesterday. Here's a two-year chart:

The Stone-age press is the only business that insultss 60% of it's customers. Buggy whip manufacturers used to laugh at car drivers too.

You're not afraid to talk about water and the wetness thereof-I suppose we can rule out the possibility of you being Teddy (the swimmer) Kennedy then, can't we.

And most of them, I'm sure, sincerely believe they succeed. This is evidence that what they succeed best at is sounding like Democrats.

They probably think that if they manage not to sound like some foaming-at-the-mouth DUer, they are maintaining their journalistic integrity - because that's the sort of thinking that is really going on in their minds.

And so we do. No study necessary, thank you.
