Fox news is ran by owners who realize that the conservative news market is under-served and the owners are there to make a buck. When Fox news promotes the GOP-e, then liberals win elections and poorly-informed conservatives feel like they’ve been “serviced”.

For example: Fox news was an early promoter of Mitt Romney this past election; most Freepers recognized early on the Mitt Romney could not beat Obama. Yet, after Romney won the GOP primary, some conservatives believed that Fox news was on their side because Fox news continued to promote Mitt Romney.

It was a gimmick to retain conservative viewers, without a risk of losing the election.

The only show on Fox that is truly conservative, with no liberal counterpoint, is on at 3 in the morning. What does that tell you?

If you are using TV news as your primary source of information, then you are either sorely uninformed or purposely misinformed.

...I take it then, that you wish to only see programs pushing one side of any particular issue, which of course is your right...

...but you then imply that news gleaned any other way than your unifocal approach constitutes misinformation...just curious as to why you believe that an issue examined from various angles equals deliberate misinformation...I get that you might not like hearing another point of view, but purposeful misdirection???
...but, you could be right...
