I haven't seen these ratings, but would agree that hiring Wallace was an attempt to lure liberals. It's too late for that and the sooner programmers realize this fact, the better it will be for them.
I want the truth in news reporting, even when it is unpleasant or counter to my interests. I won't stand for anything less. I gave up supporting print media long ago, and the alphabet channels' spin soon after. If I was interested in paying to be insulted, I would go to a comedy club. (Is Don Rickles still around? ;'}
I hear liberals accuse (me) of "living in an echo chamber" and, beyond the obvious Liberal Projection (tm), I recognize that there is a nugget of truth there. We all want to hear complimentary points of view (in my case as a "reality check" to see if I'm thinking an issue through instead of jumping to a conclusion. The difference is that I will listen to an opposing POV and then analyze it for accuracy & relevance. Dhimmicrats do not.
I watch the Sunday shows not to become informed, but to "Know my enemy". As I have become more politically aware I have been able to see through the obvious deceptions that now render these shows a joke. The value that I get from them, and even more to the point this reoccurring thread (Thanks AB!) is when I then take my conclusions to people like my aging parents who still vote, but are more easily bullied by the shrill leftist pandering of timmy russert and George Step~on~all~of~us (and yes, Chris Wallace!).
