Quote:Oh please! ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNBC, Al Jazeera, and CNN all have a piece of the pie, and if they were putting programming out there that was what people considered worth watching, they'd have better ratings. FNC is #1 because it does provide FAR more balance than any of the other networks combined. When news is breaking, the overwhelming majority tune in to FNC because they trust them to provide at least the closest thing to actual news. And once again, your view of FNC falls right in line with the typical liberal who can't distinguish between opinion shows and actual news.


The dumbing down of America isn't because of television. It's because progs have gotten control of the education machine at all levels, and they've indoctrinated the drones by lowering the education standards. This is at the primary, secondary, and collegiate levels where progressives have almost a complete monopoly over the education of our youth. Their focus on dumbing down our kids has resulted in plummeting test scores, and kids who are incapable of critical thinking. Cable news has zero effect on the downward spiral of the intellect in this country.
