[FONT=Courier New]Add up CNN, MSNBC and Headline News and it STILL doesn't equal Fox News. They could stick a trained monkey in there and still have a bigger audience than anyone below Shep. Unreal.[/FONT]

Why do you open these threads here? This can't end well. And what really is the point besides starting a political discussion?

 

[Garrovick]

MSNBC is my home page.

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

So Americans continue to prove that they prefer outright fiction and overblown fear mongering to actual news.

Oh, and if you're going to just copy/paste something, make sure you take off the incompatible html tags.

 

[T'Baio]

Oh, and if you're going to just copy/paste something, make sure you take off the incompatible html tags.

Why? It's a statement on the intelligence of FoxNews viewers.

Yeah, try watching the CNN Reporter who argues with protesters in Chicago, rather than REPORTING the news, which is what reporters USED TO DO.

Anyone who finds CNN to be a credible news source needs to see a Psychiatrist -- scratch that, a Proctologist.

 

[Roger Wilco]

That was pretty embarrassing for CNN, yes. Even The Daily Show made fun of that yesterday.

 

[Dac]

In four 30 minute episodes, Charlie Brooker's Newswipe has done more to undermine Fox News than Fox News has done to undermine common sense in its entire existence.

Also, wasnt there a thread just the other day about how US ratings are only judged by 5000 nielson boxes? So judging by the four headline ratings, them 5000 people are meant to represent 5-6 million? So ALTHOUGH there was someone who Im sure worked for Nielson in the other thread banging on about how it COULD be a fair system, It really isnt, is it? I mean, Population distribution is never even, for example, most of the US population lives on the coastlines, so a distribution of 5000 boxes across every state isnt fair or impatrial. On the flipside, Random distribution of boxes is just that - Random, so wouldnt the data be void also? So although this thread is just a political "how big is your cock? mines HUUUUUGE" topic, isnt it fair to point out how ludicrous the way the ratings are taken in the first place?

 

[Davros]

Many of those watching Fox are doing so to watch the freakshow meltdown that seems to fill most of their programming since the election.

She was trying to get an answer out of him instead of his ignorant rant about Lincoln being opposed to taxes.

 

[tharpdevenport]

Didn't a re-run of O'Reilly still beat them a couple or so weeks ago?

That was stupid, but it's still not as ridiculous as FOX News essentially sponsoring these inane 'protests', while simultaneously contenting that they are purely grassroots in nature. If you have seen the insanity that Glenn Beck has been throwing out for the last few months on his new FOX show, you would not be surprised about all of this teabagging ().

 

[Peach Wookiee]

Her question was, "Why are you here?" He tried to answer. She talked over him. Davros, she didn't come out of that looking well. You don't get an answer out of someone by talking over them.

 

[DeafPoet]

I saw this thread title and laughed. And then I saw who posted it. No irony here, I'm guessing?

 

[Lowdarzz]

Good for them. I watch both Fox and CNN ,screw MSNBC, to try and get a resonable amount of news out of all the crap.

Didn't I hear that that CNN reporter, and I use that term as loosely as possible, get her crap slapped back in her face after she was off the air?

You're getting zero news from FOX, maybe a little from CNN, but they're not really sure what kind of a network they want to be anymore.

 

[wamdue]

did you guys know that CNN in the UK airs interactive gambling.

thats right, after a few hours of news, the channel is taking over by TV gambling, how anyone is meant to respect CNN as a news source after that amazes me

I think her point is essentially valid but she could not possibly have been a more embarassing douchebag about it. Shit like that makes me embarassed to be a liberal, and it's the kind of stuff we're always decrying the right for. Unfairly, it seems.

 

[Gertch]

Wow, FOX had as many as the other two combined! See, people really are sick of the one sided reporting. Next thing you know the Boston Globe (D) will be having financial trouble.

It was good to see the Tea Party coverage accurately on FOX. The others could learn something from this.

Why does it necessarily have to start a political discussion? This is the forum for the news media, is it not?
