Grump,
My entire post began with this:
Hence it was perfectly clear (well...perfectly clear to those who can read) that when I referenced MOST later in the thread I was commenting on Americans who are interested in the news...not the American population as a whole.
Now...if you'd like to discuss the ridiculous number of Americans who are apathetic to the news I'm sure that would be an interesting topic for another thread.
If you'd like to carry on with this conversation that would be great too...as long as you think you can stop misquoting people in order to post stupid little retorts that (like at least one of your previous posts) make no sense because you had to take other people's quotes out of context in order to attempt to make your point - which really wasn't much of a point to begin with. Whatever you choose, I sure hope you do it better than you've been doing so far in this thread...
To everyone else actually engaging in worthwhile debate:
Is anyone else concerned about the fact that Fox is closing out so many others? While I respect Fox News, I worry about what happens when the majority of news watchers only tune in to one source rather than searching for a variety of presentations of the news. In addition, I am troubled by the fact that Fox seems to lean heavily on News Talk/Opinion shows rather than simply news. If most news watchers are getting their "news" from people giving them their opinions on it...what problems will that cause in how we get our information?
My entire post began with this:
If more and more people who pay attention to the news are turning to tv and internet rather than print...the fact that most seem to be getting their news from Fox would be absoultely important and relevant because it means that most people are getting the FoxNews version of news, rather than the ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc. version of the news.
