Fox enjoys especially high numbers among advertiser-coveted 25- to 54-year-old viewers, and it is attracting even younger news junkies. As one CNN producer admits, Fox is ?more in touch with the younger age group, not just the 25?54 demo, but probably the 18-year-olds.? Even more attractive to advertisers, Fox viewers watch 20 to 25 minutes before clicking away; CNN watchers stay only ten minutes. Fox?s typical viewer also makes more money on average?nearly $60,000 a year?than those of its main cable rivals.

Many conservatives have attacked South Park for its exuberant vulgarity, calling it "twisted," "vile trash," a "threat to our youth." Such denunciations are misguided. Conservative critics should pay closer attention to what South Park so irreverently jeers at and mocks. As the show's co-creator, 32-year-old Matt Stone, sums it up: "I hate conservatives, but I really f@$^&*g hate liberals."

[NutCrackerBoy]

I asked mods to add publish date to your thread. It is especially important to include that when the article is not new.

[andyandval]

Duly noted,forgive a newbie freeper.

[cinnathepoet]

It's kind of refreshing, but until something is done about the entrenched leftism in the universities, I won't get my hopes up.

[L,TOWM]

Wait until they get to deal with my kids and the 1.3 million (and growing) of their compatriots in another few years. The mold brains won't know what hit 'em.

[Fenris6]

Well done! btt for research bank.

[cinnathepoet]

Yes. That's true. We have the demographic advantage. The liberals aren't producing many kids of their own and that might pay off in the near future in universities.

[L,TOWM]

I forgot to mention that my kids and the 1.3 million compatriots I referred to are HOME SCHOOLED. They will make an impact disproportianate to their numbers, but, yes, conservative christian famillies pretty much "choose life".

It's safe to say that the blogosphere cost Raines his job. When the story broke about Times reporter and Raines favorite Jayson Blair's outrageous fabrications in the paper's pages, Sullivan, Kaus, Drudge, blogger-reporter Seth Mnookin, and other web writers kept it alive, creating pressure for other media, including television, to cover it. When disgruntled Times staffers began to leak damning information about Raines's high-handed management style to Jim Romenesko's influential media-news site Poynter, the end was near. Kausfiles's "Howell Raines-O-Meter," gauging the probability of the editor's downfall, was up barely a day or two when Raines stepped down. "The outcome would have been different without the Internet," Kaus rightly says. The Times's new ombudsman acknowledged the point: "We're not happy that blogs became the forum for our dirty linen, but somebody had to wash it and it got washed."

Yeah they cleaned out all their dirty Lenin!
