Speaking of A** Whoopin... MSNBC and CNN Continue to Get a Good One Every Night

[Vast LWC]

OK:

1. Who the fuck cares? We all know that Fox does so well because it's fanatic right-wing viewers refuse to watch any other channel, while other more rational viewers are split between all the other sources of media.

and

2. This belongs under MEDIA, not Politics.
(Though with FoxNews, I guess the two are really interchangeable).

I'm actually enjoying all the Socialist/Progressive hubris we're seeing so much of these days. All their boasting and chest-pounding. It's going to be all the more sweet when they begin to fall. Can't wait for that.

 

[Some Guy]

This really makes you wonder why no other channel is out there trying to cut into Fox's viewership.

See, this is why I enjoy your posts so much Libo...

In a thread where the OP is made up entirely of a right-winger bragging about the success of a right-wing media outlet....

You go on about left-wing "hubris" and "chest-pounding".

Priceless.

That's a good question.

One would think that the viewer market share is large enough to handle at least one other right-wing propaganda outlet...

There is a lot of boasting and chest-pounding going on with the Socialists/Progressives these days and i don't see how a fellow Socialist/Progressive could deny this. Like i said,tables turn and things change. It is going to be incredibly sweet seeing the Socialists/Progressives take a fall. Lets hope this happens sooner rather than later. Make 2010 count people.

I don't know about all that.

Perhaps it seems that way from your point of view.

But you have to admit that my point is semi-humorous.

It's very idiotic on you're part to post this..
It just goes to prove what we've been saying all along..
Tea Partiers and Republicans must watch FOX to get their talking points.
Which is why we seen so many people holding signs in favor of FOX & Beck at Tea Party events.

looks like you asswipes are slightly outnumbered and outflanked then donut?

cnn and msnb vs fox...it's a split decision.

put down the koolaid

disclosure: I no longer watch cable news

Maybe FOX should be left out of this poll. It is not a cable news show. It is a one hour crappy show that presents right wing talking points and propaganda.

Fox News is not a legitimate news outlet.

For instance, a legitimate news organization does not:

•Source its research to "conservative blogs."
•Purposefully present stories out of context.
•Regularly declare "Victory!" when a White House initiative fails.
•Ignore a breaking news story that embarrasses the Republican Party.
•Invite fringe conspiracy theorists to appear on news shows.
•Suggest during a news program that Democrats voted to "protect pedophiles, but not veterans."
•Routinely accuse the president of the United States of being like Adolf Hitler.
•Describe itself as the "voice of the opposition."
•Air more than 100 commercials promoting partisan political rallies.
•Show 22 clips of health care reform opponents who attended town hall forums, and none of health reform supporters.
•Purchase full-page newspaper ads to spread falsehoods about the news competition.
•Invade the privacy of second-grade students.
•Promote violent political rhetoric.
•Fail to fact-check a murder story before airing allegations about it.
•Allow a news anchor to suggest a Supreme Court nominee is guilty of "reverse racism."

It certainly would be helpful if reporters and pundits who work for respected corporate news outlets and who today defend Fox News as a legitimate operation (or at least chastise the White House for raising doubts) examined the 30 examples I listed above and ask themselves this: If they committed just one of those newsroom transgressions, would they still have a job? Would bosses at ABC or The New York Times or The Washington Post or wherever be willing to have those journalists on staff if they bent, and then busted, journalism's Code of Ethics the way Fox News regularly does?

I suspect the obvious answer is no. And I suspect journalists understand that. So why the Beltway charade? Why refuse to acknowledge the self-evident truth that Fox is not a legitimate news organization?

Yea the Liberal Press has no credibility left at this point. Mere White House Mouthpieces reduced to regurgitating White House Talking Points 24/7. We're lucky to have Fox News.

Yea the Conservative Press has no credibility left at this point. Fox has been reduced to mere White House mouthpieces reduced to regurgitating White House talking points 24/7 under the Bush Jr. admin. We're unlucky to have Fox News.

Face it.............they think that they can create reality with some camera edits and claims that their tea party in DC was over 1.5 million.

Never mind that their top anchors are fucking lunatics. Wanna know why FAUX News is more popular than CNN and MSNBC?

Facts are boring. News is facts, and generally is boring.

FAUX News fixes this by offering theatrics generally only seen on (scripted) reality shows.

We can never fall. Once in a while conservatives pull a Battle of the Bulge style counterattack on us and we take a brief pounding, but we always come back and we always press further forward.

Conservatism always loses in the long run.

 

[jschuck12001]

My friends, let them have their FOX...its very comforting to them.

You can understand how they would scramble and clamor for ANYTHING that can be a comfort to them during these trying times.

So take comfort in your FOXNews numbers Righties. Have it at!

LOL!!!

I agree, when they start pulling out the TV ratings you know things are getting sad for the republicans.

You guys couldn't even Vote Bush out in his 8 years.. So much for a Counterattack..

Media Matters? Yeah... ok.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Watching CNN & NBC or reading the NY Times is like observing an excruciatingly long White House Press Conference. Just a 24hr. White House Press Conference full of the same bland White House Talking Points over & over. I actually thank God for Fox News. It's something different anyway. They're probably the only TV Network out there not licking Hopey Changey Boots 24/7. The Liberal Press should actually be ashamed of themselves for what they have become. America needs Fox News. Nuff said.

 

[rightwinger]

Did anyone catch that "Ass-whoopin" Fox News took on the Healthcare Bill?

It was something to watch

 

[ABikerSailor]

Well, considering that David Frum told everyone that the GOP thought that FAUX Noise worked for them, and they were shocked to see that the GOP is actually working for FAUX, I kinda wonder about the fair and balanced part.

Can you imagine how terrified the Republican Party is over a second rate network??

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Fox News is the only TV Media out there that doesn't push the usual & stale Hopey Changey Boot-Licking spin. For that alone you gotta love em. WTG Fox News! Keep fighting the good fight!

And what did 8 years of Bush and 12 years of a Republican Congress get conservatives?

Other than more to bitch about?
