Why Fox has Highest Ratings and MSNBC does not?

I think it's political related..

What do you all think?

Olberman just seems too Negative.

My opinion on the subject is that FOX is the only media outlet that caters to Republicans and all of the others have a liberal bias. In essence, FOX gets half the country and the other outlets have to fight over the other half. It has absolutely nothing to do with FOX's ridiculous claim of being fair and balanced.

BTW, how long is your leave from CT?

 

Good response.

Regarding CT, according to the powers that be, it's indefinite.

 

Why? feel free to PM!

 

I have no clue.. No clue at all. The reasons listed are : "Inappropriate behavior"..

Who knows.. Sure, I'll PM!

 

Folks often aren't real bright. Folks still think Bush was a good president. Same people that watch Fox.

 

The reason Fox News has so many viewers is obvious...people agree with what they are saying. Why do so many people tune in to watch Bill O & Hannity? They are discussing issues that the people are interested in, they share the same opinions.
Does anyone watch Olberman or Maddow? I've tried, to get their perspective, but they are so pathetic in their attempts at humor that it becomes painful to watch- you feel sorry for them at times. I mean, really, how many times can you bash Bush & Cheyney over the same one or two things (Oops, sorry tomc) or defend BO for pushing BObamacare through when the administration is on record as imploring Congressional leadership to "just pass anything"?

 

Eventually...liberal (now masked and called 'progressives') views and logic CANNOT hold up to public scrunity and simple Q/A. Hence, the public eventually sees these liberal views as nothing more than peace hippies that "hope and hold hands together and sing". Given the chance to do what is right, liberals will consistently choose otherwise. They do so because they adopt a worldview that is based on "what feels good." They follow impulses instead of moral standards. And they seem to cheer for our enemies instead of our allies. Which when you think of it seems to be a defining characteristic of someone who has lost their mind.

Guess what? Liberalism fails in the public arena and smart people eventually turn the channel.

Think about it! Why do you think liberals HATE talk radio. Here is a forum where you have to listen and when you listen to liberal non-sense day in and day out (which doesn't add up or hold logic), an informed audience will eventually switch channels.

Now...since liberals can't succeed in talk radio, everyday, you have liberal socialist groups like Media Matters that listen to each and every word of conservative commentators HOPING for a slip-up and falsehood. Then they will cry out, "SEE..SEE...SEE...he is wrong". Since liberals can't argue their ideas, they then attempt to destroy their opponents.

Of course when that doesn't work, liberals will play the race card....from the bottom of the deck HOPING to invalidate a conservative's claim simply by throwing the "R" word at them. If you are white and criticize President B.O., well you must be a RACIST!

Face it...liberalism is aimed at the same type of idiots that were on the O.J. Simpson murder jury. They aim for people that believe the government knows best so they can be taken care of...like a giant nipple for all of them to suck on...as long as they don't have to pay for anything.

 

Funny. I think of the OJ jury when Bush got elected/stole the elections.

 

No response to what Midas said? Just a juvenile quip? Funny, that's exactly what Olberman & Maddow do on their shows...you're a good pupil.

 

Responding to Midas is a bit like entering an insane asylum. Responding to you resembles trying to reason with a tree stump. Both events are fairly pointless because one is a rotting piece of dead growth and the other used to be a tree.

 

As predicted and stated...it is very reason WHY liberal/progressive formats fail. They spend all of their time trying to destroy the character of those that call out their garbage and then this name calling gets old whereby people simply change the channel.

 

Can we change your channel? The 'jihad, muslim, animal, cancer' name calling garbage gets a bit old too, picture after picture.

 

Forgetting whether liberals agree with Fox or conservatives agree with the rest of the media, Fox does at least make an effort at being balanced. I am sure that the liberals do not agree with this. However, I can name several obviously liberal contributors on Fox. Can anyone name anyone who is obviously conservative on NBC & MSNBC, ABC, CBS or even CNN? Now that is 5 stations to 1, but Fox has more from the "other" party than all 5 of their competitors put together. And liberals wonder why Fox is so popular. You actually get some news on Fox instead of the commentary you get on the rest of the stations.

 

You've nailed it. Exactly why liberal talk radio can't survive. They simply cannot argue facts or ever stay on the point.

 

Yes..hate radio needs to stay on point. Just ask the racist blowhard drug addict, Limpbaugh.
REMEMBER....do NOT donate to HAITI, because hate radio dictates it.

 

Tom
You have proven yourself an excellent investigator and are fully capable of getting to the bottom of some very troubling conspiracys. You have opened my eyes and changed my opinion on a few things because I am intellectually honest to do my own research and search the truth out.

Do the same with the 2000 elections. View the New York Times and all the rest of the left blogs, sites and journalists that converged on Florida to do independant recounts.......even the NYT ( as left as it gets ) concluded after they counted every vote in the state 3 times..........please post the conclusion of your investigation here.

I have seen you post on so many ocassions about stolen elections, dead people voting, etc etc, more votes than citizens.....blah blah

show some credibility and use your obvious skills.

I am throwing you a bone here, let us know how it works out.

I also say this to the generic left.......I can say with about 99.999% confidence, that if a Republican administration tried to pass the same exact bill on healthcare reform, using the same methods, exact same thing, you would all be screaming bloody murder.

Lets start this year of with intellectual honesty, set partisain ideals aside and examine issues, regardless of personal feelings or party affiliation.

Tell you what. I think they are all freakin corrupt, at least I can say that about my party and not follow lockstep. I hate the freakin Repo's, and that came from listening here and doing my own thinking.

Oh yeah, what is the skin color of Limbaughs #1 top employee.......investigate that as well.

 

MSNBC has advocated cheating in Massachusetts to stop Brown from winning. Here is a link:

You can attack my link from the Washington Times as a righty source.....but ignore the source, listen and watch the facts from Shultz own voice.

 

Ok Jack. I'll dig a little and respond back. Like to confirm some quick points with you first though.

Based on intellectual honesty, are you saying that the government's version of events for that day are more accurate, or are mine? Could you tell me what exactly I have changed your opinions about,specifically?

Do you honestly believe that 2000 WASN'T a result of massive voter fraud via Diebold?

Lastly, do you think republicans would have EVER proposed any kind of healthcare initiative? If so...based on WHAT?

I'll be honest if you can. (I think I have been honest but I'll do as you ask if you will do the same).

 

Hey, genius, Limbaugh isn't on Fox !!
