I know how much this stings but.... Fox News is the most trusted news network in America...by a large margin. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum26/HTML/000284.html I notice you never wheeze, whine, screech or shriek when leftist news outlets endorse leftist candidates. Why is that Node? Don't you think you should be "fair and balanced" too? IP: Logged |

I think it is very funny that you have included your own thread about FOX News *__* above. banging the drum with the playbook for Fox in recent months. As the links contained in the article I posted prove, or any simple internet search would garner, Faux News has repeatedly shown itself the least neutral of the cable news outlets. Even your much shrieked about MSNBC news is more "fair and balanced" So let me spell it out for the confused. I just posted contributions made by companies to both Democrats and Republicans// let me repeat that. that were made to both parties. the amounts are-- shall we say-- somewhat less though. There is a word for that, it also begins with an O, as in obtuse. But go ahead and have your fun, It is a little strange that someone who one day is telling us that all media is corrupt, who now plays the champion of Fox News. IP: Logged |

Let me spell it all out for YOU Node.The American public does not agree with you that Fox News is Faux News. Neither do they agree with you that MSNBC/NBC is in any way "fair and balanced". The ranting lunacy of Olbermann, Maddow and Matthews makes most Americans want to throw up. Nevertheless, I want Olbermann, Maddow and Matthews to continue doing want they are doing. They give Americans a view into the leftist mind where no brainwave activity can be found. IP: Logged |

fox news is owned by the king of tabloids, mr "anything that sells"... a man with great respect for the INTELLIGENCE of his audience, his finger on the pulse of the lowest common denominator and his eye on his bank balance at ALL times. a prince among journalists. good old rupe the rube. i doubt he is the least bit embarrassed by the content on fox. it's right down his alley.but he is no fool and i am sure he knows exactly what fox is doing. sad what that says about the general public isn't it. though its a truism that he that "doth protest overmuch" usually KNOWS he is in the wrong without a leg to stand on. bluster and braggadocio make a big impression but they don't necessarily reflect the "majority" of the "american people"...that nebulous entity which happens to have 300 million individuals who are not carbon copies of each other. and a great many of them stay away from fox news whenever possible. i guess that is why the founders tried to protect the government from being run by "popular opinion"...wasn't it jefferson who warned how easily joe public could be swayed by eloquent opinionmakers?

Poll: Bill O'Reilly is popular, but Rachel Maddow is unknown to likely voters By KEACH HAGEY | 9/26/10 10:55 PM EDT Updated: 9/27/10 11:31 PM EDTMore people are getting their news about the upcoming election from cable television than any other source, and from Fox News more than any other cable channel, according to a POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll released Monday. The poll found that 81 percent of those polled get their news about the midterm elections from cable channels, like Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, or their websites, compared with 71 percent from national network news channels, such as ABC, NBC or CBS, and their websites........ Among cable news channels, Fox was the clear winner, with 42 percent of respondents saying it is their main source, compared with 30 percent who cited CNN and 12 percent who rely on MSNBC. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0910/42738.html IP: Logged |

Thanks for the admission that Fox News beats all the others in Cable News...including CNN and MSNBC. In fact, the lowest rated news program on Fox news beats the highest rated news programs on either CNN or MSNBC. In addition to that, Fox News is the most trusted source of news on cable.

well you do tend to rely on your only source after awhile. do you know how fox got into so many homes, jwhop?by GIVING AWAY advertising slots - which they could afford better than most - no one is denying the addictive quality of their shows, but that doesn't make them news. and it doesn't make it right that they have ACCESS to way more people than the other stations . another instance of the big man buying out the little one...and while the little man may think he has had a stroke of luck to be bought out and be able to retire or do something more interesting, what it means to the public is LESS AND LESS CHOICE. just like monsanto, goldman, any big shot you can think of, who is gradually buying out the competition. from what you have said in the past you have no problem with that but you don't seem to realize what happens to your so-called "free" market with these tactics...it disappears! poof! no more choice. you will buy your food, your car and your president from whomever THEY offer you. how free!

It's still not known for producing an informed audience, which is the only litmus test a rational human being would have for it. That's why I don't get your exultation in this notion that Fox is somehow superior to something else. It's superior in finding an audience only.Now, I know that one of your favorite network stations for news is ABC. Nightly News with Diane Sawyer averages 8.69 viewers. Meanwhile O'Reilly averages "over 2.8 million." As ever perspective is sorely missing from your assessment of everything political. Diane Sawyer Bill O'Reilly IP: Logged |

And they apparently have five potential presidential candidates on the payroll I recently read, which means that those candidates are unable to go on other networks until they formally announce their candidacy. It might prove a delicate situation for both other networks as well as the potential candidates.IP: Logged |

Yes, even Dana Perino the ex press secretary got a job at what looks like a roll call at Fox on certain days.until campaign financing is adequately addressed, [it never will be] we are more and more at the mercy of someone else's bankroll. Look at the unprecedented numbers of the very wealthy who are financing some of their own campaigns...margaret Whitman etc= though the wealthy rarely do well come election time, Bloomberg is an anomaly. With the Oliver Stone Wall Street II, and a revisit to Gecko it turns out that the character was embraced by a whole lot of people. Greed is good, greed is rewarded. While hundreds of thousands of people walk away from their mortgages...just walk away, the banks are actually doing better than they were before the crash, and yeah I'm calling it a crash I hate that word `downturn`. How much money will be spent in 2012? over a billion was spent in 2008--> Banking on Becoming President For the first time ever in U.S. history, the candidates for president raised more than $1 billion. To find out where all this money came from, click on the candidates' names below and explore the options to the left.

Hmmm, I think you're mixing Fox News up with the lamebrained news media katatonic.Angle wasn't talking about Fox News. Reid's in the deep, deep dooooooo. The people of Nevada know Dirty Hairy far too well to send him back to the Senate. And then, there's the matter of the highest unemployment rate....and the highest foreclosure rates in the country...in Nevada. Then, there's the matter of bribing Senators to vote for O'BomberCare...and ramming O'BomberCare through without sufficient time for Senators to read the bill. Angle will be a breath of fresh air for citizens of Nevada. They're tired of breathing the toxic fumes coming off Harry Reid. IP: Logged |

If a private retirement fund was managed like social security, the fund's managers would be serving a federal sentence in striped suits. is tripe. SS is in better shape than a great many private pensions these days and most of the paranoia about it is manufactured by the terrified-of-possible-socialism crowd. and the constitution allows for the federal govt to pass laws in the interest of the general welfare. my sister who has finally retired at age 70 after working all her life and raising two great kids on her own, is well glad to receive her social security check. i notice that when you LIKE an amendment to the constitution you refer to the ratification process as proof that it was a good thing accepted by all. and the opposite when you DON"T. as to establishing a press that reports what you want it to report, that is called a pre-empted press, not a free one. fox does a very good job of that for people like sharron angle. nevada is what it is. if they elect a crazy person it won't surprise me! as to obama negotiating recovery money from the party responsible for the mess, why is that any less legal than palin negotiating kickback money for alaskans from the oil cos? no law was written, a deal was struck. i call that statesmanship and a boon to those affected.
