Quote:Two and a Half Men also dominated the ratings. 


Not to mention that conservatives tend to have FOX News as their primary news source, while Liberals are more likely to branch out.  They're also more likely to get their news online.  And some people watch fox news for the entertainment value.

 

Not sure exactly how you come to that conclusion.  I know for me, my daily reading/browsing includes many sources including FOX, CNN, NYT, LAT as well as a few business sites and tech sites related to my industry.  Pretty much 99% of my news is obtained online.  When I do watch FOX News, I tend to stay away from the analysis/opinion shows and watch mainly the hard newscasts.

 

Quote:Lol so true.

 

 

Quote:Did you say fox news has more viewers then any other station by far? Wouldn't that mean conservative bias is being pushed to a greater extent in the media?

 

Quote:Correction Jagibelieve did.


Total Viewers Fox News 1.779 million (even) MSNBC 600,000 (down 8%) CNN 528,000 (down 8%) HLN 337,000 (down 16%).


So no, not sure I believe liberals control the media.

 

Not only does FOX News have more viewership, I would guess that they probably get more hits online as well.  However, that is only one news outlet.  Add up the viewership of all of the left leaning outlets to see how the numbers compare.  Using the numbers that you posted, lib news television gets approximately 1.465 million and that doesn't include ABC or CBS.

 

Noodle this one for a bit.  Why is it than when liberal media tries to do what FOX News does it fails?  Are programs hosted by Chris Mathews or Rachel Maddow anywhere near as successful as say Bill ORielly?  How successful was Air America vs. pretty much any conservative news talk show on radio?  The only left leaning radio outlet that comes anywhere near conservative talk radio is NPR.  What would happen if they weren't subsidized by government and had to broadcast on commercial media?
