[JGalt]

They'll have a basket of other gigs delivered to their door to choose from if true.

Jealous much? Fox News continues to dominate the other cable news networks, leading in total viewers and the key demographic of 25-54 year olds. They have maintained their position as the most-watched cable news network during primetime and for the total broadcast day. In June, Fox News averaged 1.8 million total viewers, significantly outperforming MSNBC (593,000) and CNN (446,000). Similarly, in primetime, Fox News averaged 2.8 million viewers, dwarfing MSNBC's 955,000 and CNN's 642,000. Fox News also topped broadcast networks NBC, CBS, and ABC in primetime viewership for a third consecutive week, averaging 2.4 million viewers.

Even so, we don't watch Fox News in my household, Newsmax is much farther to the right. And if you think Fox News is the devil, you face would melt if you knew what they're saying about you folks on Newsmax.

Never heard it put in those terms before, but yep.

Of course. Maybe MSNBC or CNN could close every segment by having one of them do a comedy skit on "current events"

He was trained to think this by his masters.

Yes, foxnews is the epicenter of the white mainstream media and the premier Establishment network.

Not something I'd be proud of.

/-----/ 77,000,000 Republican voters is a cult, but 74,000,000 democRAT voters isn't? What is the cutoff point to qualify as a cult, 75,000,000?

For public school educated libtards:
cult
[kəlt]
noun

1. a relatively small group of people having beliefs or practices, especially relating to religion, that are regarded by others as strange or sinister or as imposing excessive control over members:
   "a network of Satan-worshipping cults" · "some young people are lured into joining a cult because of peer pressure"

I wouldn't call it a cult, but in college, I convinced a bunch of girls to appoint me as the recording secretary of the IBT club. (Itty Bitty Titty club) They fired me the next week. Said I enjoyed the position too much.

That's what confused me about the whole thing. They gave me the job, and then got mad when I tried to do it.
