Who cares, honestly?  A lot of crap on television gets ratings through the roof and I would never bother tuning in.  It's just a silly question that doesn't approach any sort of truth.

And I'm not trying to be mean...I'm just saying.

damn were they really discussing that?....and i would also like an answer to luinil's question

I understand. It is simply that I was pointing out that more people watch Fox News than watch any other new network. =/

Makes one wonder one of two things: What are the doing right? -or- What is wrong with people?

Because the majority of people are idiots.

I'm not touching that one.

No it clearly says claSS

Yes they report the news you might know if you can watch once a while, I watch all FXNews, CNN, NBC and MSNBC FXNEws is the only one that does not praise either candiate the rest praise him the entire time, or lightly point out mistakes then slam McCain. Then again you are fully an Obama supporter so anything not nice about him would seem outrageous and not news worthy to you. To see everything and ever angle is a good thing.

....really...........I mean............really!?

Yeah...so reporting sides is all good. I can appreciate that...

But news is selected...

So this guy calls up Fox (or they call him) and he says..."Hey...check out this new angle I have. It's pretty weak....but people are already leaning a little. We just need to give a bit of a shove."

And he shows them the two names....and asks the question..."Coincidence?"

Now who in their right mind thinks this is news and decides to air it?
Who doesn't look at this guy and tell him that he's either the biggest fanboy or he smoked a bit too much of the wacky weed while playing scrabble with his Alphabits?

Surprisingly, due to the prevalent myth of liberal media bias in the mainstream (despite the corporate Republican ownership of 98% of the mass media in the U.S., that's not true. As the research shows,  It's quite the opposite.

":A study released Monday by the non-partisan Center for Media and Public Affairs in Washington, D.C., showed that "on-air evaluations" of Obama on the broadcast networks since the end of the primary season have been significantly more negative than the evaluations of McCain.

"Obama's bad press (72 percent negative) comes at a time when he was much more visible than McCain (57 percent)," said the report, noting that Obama-based stories outnumbered McCain-based stories 3 to 2 during the survey period.

Sometimes, it's better to be overlooked than looked over."

The study is mentioned in thousands of articles.  I just found this one...  If you study the literature, the liberal media bias has largely been erased  on the whole since the mid-90s and the de-regulation of the market.  In fact there is a lot of evidence that the bias has leaned to the right over the past 15 years.  See coverage of the Clinton impeachment, leadup to the Iraq War, the explosion of Limbaugh/Hannity/O'Reilly and Fox News for examples.  (I teach journalism, so I kind of keep up on these things.)

Journalists on the whole tend to lean left, because actual journalists (not talking heads on TV, but actually news guys in the trenches) tend to get into the field to report on social justice issues, which is kind of a Democrat-type issue.  But most do their job pretty objectively as a whole.  There are clearly bad bad reporters out there that do not, but most are actually pretty good if you are dealing with hard news.
