I know that watching CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN makes people vote Liberal Democrat. Reading the NYT and LAT makes people vote Liberal Democrat.

Wow, Shepherd Smith is so powerful =/

Watching Oprah makes you vote for Obama.

The study has reversed the cause and effect relationship of Fox News and conservative/republican voters.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Strange that the article glossed over that part of it. ;)

Eating cherry pie makes you fat....but happy.

Watching Fox makes people vote Republican.

Well duh! You finally hear something that makes sense when you Hannity and O'Reilly come on. If you are bombarded with crap, you will vote for a DemoCrap. Hear common sense, you vote GOP.

Did watching Crusty the Clown make people vote for Al Gore?

[ilgipper]

think of the power of CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, AP, Reuters, NYT, LAT, etc, etc. If not for their bias, think how much better things would be.

#1 - Fox news has done nothing wrong and broken no laws. They have Freedom of Speech and Press as promised in the Constitution.

#2 - I don't believe that TV sets playing Fox news yanked people off the street, forced them in to voting booths and held guns to voters to bully them in to voting Republican.

#3 - You can't possibly sit here and tell me that CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, PBS, The LA Times, etc are unbiased.

Hmm...sounds like they might just be confusing those pesky old cause and effect thingies.

"Watching people in movies smoke cigarettes makes kids smoke. It should be banned."
"Watching people have sex in movies in no way corrupts kids. Have at it!"

"Liberal bias in network news does not brainwash the sheeple and convince them that Hillary is the smartest woman on the planet. She just is. Have at it!"
"Fox news twists people's brains and results in excessive voting for Republicans. Bring back the Fairness Doctrine!"

If you watched CBS evening news, you became a liar and a cheat.

[NeoCaveman]

I grew up on network news (ABC,CBS,NBC) in the '80's, it made me a conservative Republican.

Man, the rest of the MSM whine terribly about FOX News. They created the market for FOX News by being so consistently biased to the left, creating a large demand for something else.

It's nice to see the other side bitch about media coverage for the first time in these recent years. It makes me smile.

[MeanWestTexan]

I don't think they are confusing cause and effect.

Fox breaks the liberal monopoly on the news. It's bound to pursuade and inform people that would not otherwise be engaged.

Watching South Park made me vote Republican.

Being Fully Informed Instead of Brainwashed Causes People to Vote Republican

There... fixed it.

[John Jorsett]

A classic case of post hoc ergo propter hoc. Just because an area voted more Republican after Fox News became available doesn't mean that Fox is the cause. I can equally posit the theory that the increased Republican vote was the result of the area trending more Republican, and that the increase in Republicans lead lead to an increased demand for Fox News.

Watching "Will and Grace" makes people vote for John Edwards.
