Quote:I think some people in this thread have cause and effect mixed up. The mainstream isn't liberal because the media is liberal. The media is liberal because the mainstream is liberal. News networks chase ratings and they'll broadcast whatever gets the most viewers. The only exception is Fox News but since they're the only conservative network out there they don't have to share their audience whereas all the other do.

 

If your logic was even remotely accurate, networks like MSNBC would have measurable ratings.  Sorry, but that's not happening, and the ratings for all mainstream news outlets have been steadily on the decline across the board for years. 

 

Why do you think mainstream networks are scrambling to change their formats or come up with new gimmicks to try to draw back viewers?  They're not sharing an audience.  They're hemorrhaging one.
