LongLiveYorke 38 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 If by "we", you mean "the advocates of endless government expansion being continually promoted without challenge", then I'd have to agree with you, although it's probably due as much to the internet as to FOX.Wait, are you saying that Fox news is against endless government expansion being continually promoted without challenge? They are certainly against government expansion caused by Democrats. When it's done by Republicans, they're more than willing to be patriots who support the president.

vbnautilus 48 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I don't know what these viewership numbers are suppose to be meaning. I feel like the subtext when these things are posted is that they reflect something about the way the general public feels... but that is obviously biased by the fact that people who are unhappy are going to seek out this form of entertainment and those that are happy will not. I'm pretty sure if we look at conservative vs liberal TV over the long run it will fluctuate with more viewership for the party that is out of power. Link to post Share on other sites

hblask 1 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Wait, are you saying that Fox news is against endless government expansion being continually promoted without challenge? They are certainly against government expansion caused by Democrats. When it's done by Republicans, they're more than willing to be patriots who support the president.Yeah, you're right. I probably should never defend FOX because I don't really like them. I like the idea that the traditional all-left networks have a challenger, but I still disagree with much of the standard line on FOX. Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Then you haven't been paying attention since Fox News' inception.Or you don't understand that total viewership of liberal news is greater than that of Fox News......but Fox News has better ratings because they have a monopoly on conservative news programming.My guess is the above.

Actually, it's nowhere close. Just going off that one day your looking at roughly 16 million to maybe 4? Liberal news can't buy viewers while anything FOX touches grows in leaps and bounds. As far as monopoly, that's one way of looking at it, another way is FOX fills a massive void. It's not like MSNBC, CNN, etc. couldn't change programming if they wanted too. They could, they just have a not so hidden agenda, and just like certain Dems they are determined to go down with this ship. Link to post Share on other sites

ShakeZuma 585 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Not fox news but it's the AP vs CNN. two subjects, four articles, quite a bit of difference in reporting:http://money.cnn.com/2010/09/30/news/econo...ndex.htm?hpt=T2vs.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_gdpand then, the even better example:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100930/ap_on_...igning_congressvs. http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/09/30/con...dex.html?hpt=T2 Link to post Share on other sites

The content of the articles is nearly identical in both cases, with the same quotes being used multiple times.You have a problem with the AP's headlines because they frame the articles in a more negative light, correct?I REPEAT: http://www.dogsinduds.com/ THIS SITE HAS ALL THE BEST STORIES AND HEADLINES Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 CNN, the bastion of protecting Obama from any bad press:Tens of thousands of low-income workers lost their jobs Thursday as a stimulus-subsidized employment program came to an end.Oh, just tens of thousands?Wait, no it's actually 250,000.When have you heard a quarter of a million described as 10's of thousands before?and these aren't real jobs anyway, they are low paying jobs, so no big deal.We will count them in his favor when describing the new jobs, but when they are cut we will pretend that they don't really matter.

CaneBrain 95 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Shake, I have read those two articles and the differences are negligible at best. Heck, the yahoo one even noted that more people approve of congressional Dems than GOPers.The CNN articles seemed maybe 5% more generous to the democrats. At most. Link to post Share on other sites
