FOX - Where reality is what you make it.

So fox is becoming the news channel for the 55 and over crowd?
oldsters do tend to be more gullible.

I guess we will start seeing more adult diaper commercials and such on there.
I wondered why all the bladder control and limp weenie commercials.

True story. I went to my church on a Wednesday service. All the old people were around the TV watching Fox News and then I decided to talk to them why they would watch that. And they literally said "Why is it so wrong?" I told them I believe it doesn't tell the facts correctly. They got upset and started their rheotic and I just said whatever.

But the one thing is the benefit Fox News is their fear tactics are geared toward them. Scare them and they will be the ones to vote Republican, buy gold and overall just live in fear.

I think being right without explaination is worse than what Fox News does. No Ambiguity, just the facts. But with the Internet blogs these days, the truth is clouded.

True story. You're a fucking idiot if you think Fox is the only news outlet that 'doesn't tell the facts correctly'.


And, facts are facts - you can't 'tell them correctly'.... they just are. Fucking idiot.

As a Churchgoer, why do you lie?

Actually you're wrong. One of the classic tactics of propaganda is the 'half truth', which is by definition a way of not telling the facts correctly.

Fox News Viewership Plunges 21% While MSNBC Grows

The cable news ratings for the third quarter of 2010 were released today, and Fox News is showing signs of decline as their viewership has decreased by 21%, and their top shows all posted double digit losses, while MSNBC’s shows grew and the network attracted more younger viewers.

Fox News is still dominating the cable news ratings. The network has the top 11 programs in cable news, but there are ominous signs that the empire is starting to crack. Compared to the third quarter of 2009, Fox has lost 21% of their total viewers, and 26% of their younger viewers. The biggest loser on the network was Bill O’Reilly who saw his program The O’Reilly Factor lose 12% of its total viewers and 21% of its young viewers. Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Bret Baier, and Greta Van Susteren rounded out the top five cable news shows, and they each posted double digit declines.

Fox News is now averaging 1.831 million prime time viewers a day, and only 443,000 viewers age 25-54.

Nice edit job


From your link:

Fox News is now averaging 1.831 million prime time viewers a day.
......
............
MSNBC has a total prime time audience of 687,000.

That's more than 2 1/2 times the size....

Math is fun!!

Let's see.....
If we were to minus another 21% of Fox's current 1.831 million = 384,510
Which equals more than half of MSNBC's *total* number of viewers!

Edit job?? if you look you will see that same line in my post.
Must be the eyes failing from old age?
fox viewers are so observant.

Nice try.
Your OP did, in fact, state Fox's numbers.
You neglected to post MSNBC's total viewership numbers. Which is approx. 1/3 of Fox.

Fox Business now has nighttime programming.

I wonder how many viewers are watching Cavuto, Willis, Stossel, and Napolitano instead of O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, and Van Sustern.

I personally prefer Fox Business to Fox News.
