    Democrats have mastered this fact and have figured out how to use MSNBC, CNN, ABC, and CBS to make it work for them.

    Intelligent people know that the entirety of the U.S. mass media is worse than useless.

  3. Most media groups, if not all, are concerned about ratings. It makes sense that they would play to their biggest base audience to make money for their shareholders, and their fat bonuses. So, we see Fox against the whole rest of the media? Makes one wonder, are we really a nation of 80% liberal, I don't think so.

    It would be nice to get back to the days of real news, pretty much CNN these days, instead of the partisan networks.

  4. fox has pretty much exhausted the angry white man demographic. their appeal has peaked. thinking people know its anti obama all day format is manipulation. even jon stewart if beating fox nowdays:


    Jon Stewart Crushes Fox News In The 2011 Ratings

    By losing 9% of their audience in 2011, Fox News’ prime time lineup now averages fewer viewers than Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show.

    According to TVNewser, Fox News averaged 1.868 million total viewers in prime time compared to 2.3 million for The Daily Show.

    While we've seen plenty of recent proof that presidents can be worse than Bill Clinton, stop giving Clinton credit for the tech boom, which he had nothing to do with. Presidents don't create jobs. And stop promoting the myth that he balanced the budget, unless you have an explanation for why a federal government with a "balanced budget" had to borrow more money and get us deeper into debt every single year of the Clinton administration.

  6. I know!
    The Problem isn't the 10% of people who want this. It's the other 90% who don't demand it.

    I don't know which demographic pisses me off more. The bleeding heart liberals/socialists or the baby boomer brainwashed neocons that form their worldview based on the nightly news.

    When the only mainstream "conservative" alternative to the standard liberal pablum on ABC, CBS, CNN, and (worst of all) MSNBC is the arch neocon Faux News, you can understand why I have to get my news from the Financial Times, Russia Today, and Al Jazeera.
