to Fox News, which has grown into the most watched cable news outlet.
I bet the CNN producers cringed when they heard Greenfield admit this.

I just love watching this. It's like watching a bunch of little kids playing dress up. They think if they pretend long enough that the republicans have a powerful media the public will buy it. Unfortunately, it's the public that decided long ago that there was such a liberal slant to the news they no longer watch it. Or at least they didn't until FOX came along. CNN can pretend FOX is conservative all they want, but the truth is, the people have decided that they are FAIR and BALANCED.

It is a conservative media network that is getting the Republican message out these days.Uhhhhh....I watch FOX, listen to Rush and read the Washington Times and I have no idea what the Republican agenda is.

figure out to make their views entertaining and compelling to large audiences As long as they keep thinking like this they are doomed...
Same reasons the Libs lost the midterm...

What conservatives like Rush Limbaugh have done is to figure out to make their views entertaining and compelling to large audiences. Their secret: Truth and Logic.

Over the years, that charge has become an article of faith among many conservative press critics. They cite surveys showing that the overwhelming majority of journalists vote Democratic and hold liberal beliefs, especially on social issues such as abortion. Former CBS News man Bernard Goldberg had a huge best-seller last year with the book alleging and titled "Bias." CNN conveniently neglects to mention that little organ of the far-Left: HOLLYWOOD.
Even in covering Liberal bias, they're biased!
To: PJ-Comix
The problem for the liberals is that, one, if they finally figure it out they will still lose or, two, if they don't figure it out and try to resurrect a Jim Hightower or Mario Cuomo, they will still lose. It's called a "No win situation".
Pity.

We NEVER hear any discussion in the lame-stream media of NPR and the various (left wing extremist) talk shows that have taken root there.

Turning it around to claim conservative bias. Only a liberal will buy it, so they're still preaching to the choir.
Amusingly, I saw ads today on FNC touting an online service which allows you to find and book hotels based on which ones carry FNC on their in-house cable. That's a riot.

I can't believe they missed the obvious: FOX has the BABES!

Would it help if Candy Crowly dressed a little provocative? I didn't think so... ;-)

Yes, they are Fair and Balanced, but one of the biggest reasons that FOX is most watched is the anchors. They are articulate and great looking. And I'm not just talking about the women - Bret Hume, Hannity, Cavuto are not bad to look at.

a kind of modern-day pamphleteering, that does not have any real equivalent on the left.
Hugely slow to catch on... They just don't get it, they DON'T know America. Hope they ALL spend their $ buying a massive "liberal" media outlet. (Like THAT hasn't already been done lol) Throw the old moolas down the black hole...great idea! hehehe
To: PJ-Comix
But the real outcome of Greenfield's statement is - THEY STILL DON'T GET IT!! soooo, Rush is right again.

What conservatives like Rush Limbaugh have done is to figure out to make their views entertaining and compelling to large audiences.The challenge before the 'rats is figuring out how to make ideas like baby-killing and election fraud "entertaining and compelling." Also, when you are so paranoid about being politically correct, that pretty much eliminates a chance to be entertaining.

Is it conservative for Fox to cover issues that the other nets don't? Like Klamath basin or the idiot Gore floating his canoe with millions of gallons of water.
I guess enlightening people to the dumbassed ideas in government and politics is conservative then. The smug self-involvement is what I hate from smirking jerks like Schneider and Greenfield and Russert. Russert's kids go to the same private school that Gore's kids went to and he sees nothing hypocritical about it. We all want to send our kids to the best schools...but to not even blink???
How about that "working dinner" than that ABC guy John Cochran had with AlGore Jeff? Remember how he said, on Fox, that it would lead to a story on the campaign...never saw that story. Did that deserved to be covered by anybody...only Fox did.
They just hate not having full power over information...

To all It's not the entertainment value, it's not the messengers it's the message!
Liberals cannot argue or present a lasting case on any issue because it's based on a shallow point of view, short of substance, based on lies and with little social value.
They would never be able to defend their positions against a "call in" public, who has more wit and insight to what's really wrong with america.
They would stack the calls with those that have the same pro liberal idealogy.
THEY KNOW NO OTHER WAY TO PLAY THE GAME>

Al Gore talked about it. Senator Democratic leader Tom Daschle complained about it. And now Democrats and liberals want to do something about it. It is a conservative media network that is getting the Republican message out these days.The reason that CNN ran this segment has nothing to do with Gore's or Daschle's tantrums - and everything to do with the fact that the NY Times ran that article yesterday (or was it the day before?). Just another in a long line of "manufactured" stories that make their way above the fold. Clearly, CNN (and the rest of the leftist media outlets) get their marching orders from the NY Times. Not just on this topic.
It's really comical - Greenfield is so totally immersed in it that he can't even see his role as a bit player in the media puppet show orchestrated by the left.

Everyday I'm grateful that Fox News is available as an alternative to left wing liberal biased news sources. I will caution, however, that the US is the only place Fox reigns over CNN. It's a big world out there and CNN has brilliantly placed itself in the global marketplace as the main news source in cable news outside the US.
I've mentioned CNN's Anti-American newscasts before on other threads, but it bears repeating. Are you aware that CNN has completely different broadcasts from what we get here in the USA that air all over the globe? Are you aware that their news stories are constantly filled with Anti-American propaganda, left wing puff pieces about the Kyoto Treaty and Global Warming? We are greedy, fat and lazy, and hell bent on destroying the earth. Seriously, I was not aware of this until I left the country on vacation and watched CNN broadcasts while in utter shock (and yes, it almost ruined my trip). I'm not talking about the usual left-wing pablum that CNN routinely broadcasts here in the US, I'm talking about hardcore Anti-American "news" pieces that are clearly designed to make folks in other countries hate the USA!
According to CNN's "abroad" preaching doctrine, Americans are always up to no good. No wonder the world hates America and is fastly becoming more and more anti-American! CNN's 24 hr transmission of world news, heavy on the negativity for any and all things American, is finally reaping the rewards CNN set out to attain.
Until Fox News decides to go head to head with CNN on a global basis, the commie left wing American haters will continue to grow. And that, folks, is something that needs to be overcome! We need to channel some of our conservative talent on a global basis. Seriously, we are winning in the arena of ideas here at home. Now, it's time to go GLOBAL, and not a minute too soon!!!!!
