If Fox Fans are idiots what does that make MSNBC fans? Globs primordial soup?
Here's an interesting take culled from my favorite publication, THE WEEK, quoting Steve Chapman in the Chicago Tribune regarding the FOX v. MSNBC squabble:
"Watching Fox News, you get the impression that huge numbers of Americans regard Obama as a Stalinist.
"Switch on MSNBC, and you would assume that most people want Dick Cheney sent to Guantanamo.
"You would be mistaken.
"Fox News averages just 2.6 million viewers on a typical weeknight, or less than 1% of Americans. MSNBC does worse, with 831,000 per night. The three major network newscasts, which offer less overt bias, pull in a combined total of more than 20 million viewers each evening.
"The average American citizen, contrary to myth, is neither very angry nor very far to the left or the right. In a cluttered media environment, the most extreme voices tend to attract so much attention that it's easy to forget something important: Most people aren't listening."
Great post. Stop doing that, you will confuse them.
As both are cable networks that point would make sense and I agree Fox is as right as MSNBC is left, I only attack MSNBC becasue they attack me personally. I don't live and die by what Fox says, I do listen to and watch other News to get a balance and I find the coverage on Fox to be much closer to reality as I see it than MSNBC and in most cases CNN. The major networks for the most part all lean a little left and this makes what Fox does so important.
Let me ask you this. If Fox is such a non issue than why are they getting attacked so heavily by the left? This is the same point I like to make about Sarah Palin. If someone is not a threat to you, why tap resources against them. Fox and Sarah Palin have almost all of the Liberal Resources at work, so one must conclude that Fox and Sarah Palin are huge threats.
In my mind that means they are doing somthing right becasue i don't want to follow NEWS that is white house approved. The same would hold true in my mind is the president was a Right Winger and he was telling everyone MSNBC isn't a real news Network, you should only watch Fox. You better believe I'd be watching MSNBC to see what they didn't want me looking at.
