The juggernaut continues to roll...

(Only the NewsMax summary of this Article was posted earlier I think???)

[ewing]

And the New York Times has successfully moved from the Mainstream to the fringes!

[madprof98]

It has won a huge audience in a centrist nation where a majority favor stricter gun control and 80 percent think abortion should be sometimes or always legal, according to recent Gallup and CNN/USA Today polls.

What on earth does this mean? "Even though almost everybody really agrees with us, they still watch the news on Fox"???

80 percent think abortion should be sometimes or always legal

Typical distortion. I'm very pro-life, and I think abortion should sometimes be legal.

The only time I would consider it permissible is when a woman is incapable of carrying the baby to term, as in an ectopic pregnancy, or when the pregnancy is almost certain to result in the death of the mother. My rationale is based on the obvious principle that it's better to lose one life than two.

I hardly think that's a "liberal" position.

"On Fox, you can actually get a debate on abortion," Mr. Kristol said.
I would like to find such a "debate" on FOX. While I'm a big fan of FNC their 'debates' are just a joke and usually involve yelling by the host (BO'R) at a guest. What's debating about that?
I've also noticed that their weekend programming is terrible. I used to think it was that "Stock Pickin" show that seems to be on whenever I turn on the TV, but its grown to the Laurie Dhue show. They had another "The Economy is Fine!" Cheerleader on that offered no facts on why the economy is supposedly picking up, just her "feelings" on why people are spending more. Yeah I get more information at the corner deli, thank you.

He just HAD to throw that in, no matter that CNN/Gallup/USA Today polls are considered cr@p by conservatives.

And Fox News is going to lose it high ratings if the do not stop having 'alerts' for every stupid thing that happens in Hollywood. It has gotten bad enough that I don't watch Fox as much as I use to.

Glad to see the NYT figuring this out. Fox news has been gaining market share? really? I never would have known this without the NYT.

"Blitzer and Russert and Schieffer are trying to cut it down the middle," Mr. Rosenstiel said. "Fox is not."

Yep, right down the middle. To this guy, the middle seems to be just a little to the left of Chairman Mao.

[McGavin999]

They just can't figure it out can they? FOX IS fair and balanced. Yes, you have O'Reilly (who's not conservative, he's sort of middle of the road conservative on some issues, liberal on others) but you also have Greta and Geraldo who are both acknowledge died in the wool liberals with their own programs. You have H & C where both sides are presented and receive equal time. Special Report has two liberals and two conservatives during the talk segment.

The problem is these liberals can't see the truth when it stares them in the face. Oh well, if they don't get it, then they can just continue to their slide into the ratings pit all the way to bankruptcy.

FOX BUMP & 2 QUOTES:

Charles Krauthammer noted that he does not practice psychiatry on the air,
but the Democrats' behavior recently has been,
"the edge of looniness".

Tony Snow later remarked that,
".. decency and good remain our (American) taproot"

[Uncle Hal]

The liberals just do not get it. The reason Fox, Rush, Sean, are so hot is obvious. The general public realises that the main stream media is biased toward the left and they want to get news from the rights prospective To me Fox gives both viewpoints while the mainstream media gives news from only the left's viewpoint. Also the main stream news feels threaten by the upstarts and realise their position is in danger.Folks the condeming of the so called "right media" is just beginning. Look for the main stream media and the democrats to call for a return of the "fairness doctrine".

[Azzurri]

Has the Bay Area picked up Fox News yet or are they still practicing active censorship in their tolerant community?

Hey, there was no "the Jenin Massacre". It was all fraud.

But Mr. Rosenstiel says he sees a core journalistic dishonesty in the Fox news style, as compared with other programs of opinion and analysis like CNN's "Wolf Blitzer Reports," Tim Russert's "Meet the Press" on NBC and Bob Schieffer's "Face the Nation" on CBS. The power of the host in such programs is enormous, because that person leads from topic to topic, and cuts off or extends debate.

HA! What a pantload that statement was. Wolfie, Tim and Bob do more than their fair share of leading the topic to a liberal slant and cutting off effective speakers that they disagree with. Although I will say that Russert can ruin anybody's day with some of his tough questions. The libs still control probably 8 or 9 of the top 10 media outlets and they still whine.
