I mean... holy hell... If Fox news is barely a news network... who knows what the hell MSNBC is supposed to be.


To think there isn't ANY liberal bias in the media, is just extremely intellectually dishonest, even if you thin the bias doesn't amount to anything big.  The REAL arguement is if said bias actually amounts to anything.

Who said there isn't ANY liberal bias? I'm asking, "why are we pointing at the media and saying they don't give a shit because they're all liberals, when the media INCLUDES CONSERVATIVES".


Because basically all the conservatives work at Fox News... and Fox News is a joke... while other conservaties elsewhere are generally at the position where they can't choose what they report on.

 

Who the fuck cares what Fox News says when most people don't watch Fox News.   They may have ratings that more the double MSNBC and CNN... but the cable news networks are actually still quite a minority when it comes to where people get their news from.

Believe it or not... Network Local News still rules the roost.  Hell online news sources dwarf the big 3 cable news networks.

To just how little Fox News TV hold maitnains, compare the number of people that watch Fox News vs the number of People who listen to NPR's Morning Edition.


If we're talking media share... more liberally biased organizations have quite the much larger marketshare.   Fox News likely only has the ratings it has specifically because it is more or less practically alone on an Island along with a few random newspapers and blogs.
