So your upset that Conservatives finally have a voice in the News for the last 18 years?
Democrats have had NBC, CBS, ABC MSNBC PBS and NPR, and Hollywood TV Shows,cartoons & Movies for their propaganda for 50 years.
Cons have one major channel FOX NEWS and you lefties are all up in arms about it.
News is not supposed to be either conservative or liberal. It should just be the news.
But thanks for exposing your bias.
And call them for what they are: talk shows. All of them. Even the major networks have violated the basic rules.
I cannot say I disagree.
Somewhere in time, the editorial staffs of major news outlets decided that they should present the news and shape it to a particular political point of view. It's called having an agenda.
That has been going on for some 60 years. Although it did not become nearly as evident until Fox News appeared. Fox News is merely an alternative to the Alphabets.
The issue is the liberal establishment in the other news outlets became incensed over two things. One, they now had competition. Two, there was a news outlet that dared to present the news in with an opposing editorial slant. That today's liberal CANNOT have.
There is of course the issue of ratings. Fox News programs garner much higher ratings than those of the Alphabets. Fox News charges and gets higher ad rates. And advertisers clamor for ad time on the Fox News Channel.
This is another item that really sticks in the craw of liberals.
Oh sure, liberals have attempted to match Fox News with their own networks and talk shows.
Air America was supposed to be the answer to Patriot Radio. Air America never really got off the ground. At the end, the company was so far in debt, the employees paychecks are bouncing.
The Most well known liberal syndicated talk show host Ed Schultz was once on over 200 radio stations across the country. His show has been losing listeners and affiliates for a few years now. His show is down to 68 stations, of which only 20 air the show live.
Another floundering lib talk show is that of Stephanie Miller.
Her show was once televised on what is now Al Jazeera America( Formerly Current TV)
Her show was bounced off the air. Her audience is limited to hard core liberals on 43 stations mostly in the northeast and west coast. And a smattering of college towns in other regions of the country.
What is plain to the average person is clear. Liberal talk doesn't get any ratings.
Also, it is easy to identify the utter contempt liberals have for any non liberal viewpoint and certainly is evident that liberals have no tolerance for news/talk that is not biased to their point of view. To them, it just should not be permitted.
