Crybabies

His loss, he just ends up alienating all their viewers, and they have a lot of them. I wouldn't consider picking fights with the press to be too smart, but maybe Obama thinks he can and not suffer any consequences.

I agree. It seems that he is "cutting off his nose to spite his face - not a smart move imo.

You really wonder who the crybaby is when Fox runs a newspaper ad falsely claiming non coverage on the part of other networks. If you don't cover a story the way they cover it you're biased.

How about this little gem, watch the duck and cover.

YouTube - Fox News Producer Caught Rallying 9/12 Protest Crowd

the woodshed

In this & your video Fox is shown to be more about "promotion" than news "coverage" as Sanchez puts it.

He only has to consider the "Fox only" viewers. The others will pick up his message on other networks. As for the
"Fox Only"crowd I see no repercussions in blowing them off since he has no chance of winning their favor.

A Pew Research survey done in August 2008 looked at the partisan make up of cable news network viewership.

CNN: 51% Democrats, 18% Republicans, 23% independents

MSNBC: 45% Democrats, 18% Republicans, 27% independents

Fox News: 33% Democrats, 39% Republicans, 22% independents

The most well rounded audience of all the major networks. Plus they beat other networks regularly by 2 to 1 margin, or more, in viewership, host nine of the top ten weekly news shows, and are currently making major gains in the younger more cynical democraphic.

Obama Approval Index History - Rasmussen Reports?

Should be interesting to see where we are in another four months or so.

Of course I saw it and thought it was relevant to this thread.

Not sure what you trying to convey here, I watch Fox news to get another perspective. If you add up the percentages you will find 129% of Democrats watch all three networks, but only 75% of Republicans and 72% of independents watch all three. From this survey it appears that the Dems are more willing to listen to other viewpoints.

I'm not sure what you're trying to convey on this thread, and what this article has to do with anything?

Politricks, yes, but most likely not from the Obama camp. First off, I find the whole article highly suspect, especially since they claim it came from an anonymous source. Why would Obama go through a Queens Congressman to convey a message to Paterson? Secondly, why would Guiliani scare Obama? Guiliani is about as tired as an over ripe banana and has fruit flies circling his rep, and isn't very popular anymore, especially upstate. Paterson doesn't have a chance in hell in winning Governor and it has nothing to do with race or party, it has to do with him being a poor administrator and a ambitious, aggressive Coumo. The politics in NY are mafia style and if you saw some of the antics of the Republicans here, they make Chicago look like Disney.

Besides, I thought you didn't give much credence to the NYT? :roll:
