Best I can do for you now is to point to FOX NEWS , which rates #1 on cable for most watched network, and let you try to figure out the rest on your own.
To which I replied, and laid down the following challenge:Quote:
Ah, so on the day when MSNBC passes them in the ratings, will you then bow down, admit your mistakes, and sanctify MSNBC as the only "right" news network, simply because they're tops in ratings? C'mon, now - COMMIT to it! If MSNBC surpasses Fox News in the ratings, you will proclaim them the ultimate arbiter of all truth and knowledge. Take the bet. I triple-dog dare you. You know in your heart that it will never happen, so what have you got to lose?
Good thing you didn't take that bet, since Countdown With Keith Olbermann beat The O'Reilly Factor in three out of five days last week...
It still troubles me, though. If the media is so left-biased, then how on earth could Fox News be the #1-rated cable news network? It doesn't compute. If they're all so liberal, and that's what sells, then how is it that an un-liberal cable network has the top ratings?

First of all, I was referring to news ratings, not overall network ratings, or those magazine, opinion driven shows. But goodie for " the biggest a-hole IN THE WORLD!!" Olbermann, Was O'Reily out " on assignment " those 3 nights?
The media IS left wing biased, which is EXACTLY why FOX is doing so well w/ its news. THATS the difference, is FOX not being beholden to the far Left wing template. Many viewers are tired of being spoon fed the Lefts' agenda in the form of 'unbiased' news, and are happy to have a choice w/ FOX's central, slight right leaning view of the world. The Left , until recently , wasn't concerned about ratings, because everyone was giving you basically the same, Left wing line. Now that FOX has been kicking tail, there's been a scramble to mix things up a bit and see what works , or what doesn't work, in getting viewers. ( eg - Katie Couric @ NBC going to CBS )

I can't help the sinking feeling that my country is now being run by people who read "1984" not as a cautionary tale, but rather as an instruction manual. - Michael Mock

Yeah yeah, her going FROM NBC to CBS News.
I don't watch t.v. news. Haven't for years. I has nothing to do w/ FOX news, which I rarely even watch either. So get over yourself.

Hey, hey, YOU'RE the one who claims to always be dealing in the facts. Guess you're not immune to gettin' 'em wrong, huh?
And I am over myself. I'm not sure I was ever under myself, but I'm definitely over myself.

Wow, I thought you were the one who didn't believe in conspiracies. Remember how long and hard we all laughed when Shillary invoked the "vast right-wing conspiracy"? Now you're implying that there's some sort of vast LEFT-WING conspiracy controlling the media. Funny stuff.
