Crybabies

[Everytime]

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 think the stats were to illustrate the viewership of each network; for example, 51% of CNN's viewers are Democrats, not 51% of all Democrats watch CNN.

Wasn't that visit when he was running for office...when he was out there trying to get votes? He was in his "running" mode.

What about now when there are questions about his czars, his health plan, his lack of support for the CIA, his costly plan to change how our government works, his future taxes on wealthy and middle class his ACORN ties, etc? A gold standard is a standard that says, I will defend my programs and talk about them and take questions from all...not just a few hand picked newscasters. Perhaps if Fox agreed to submit questions before hand, and allowed him to read his prepared answers and do any do-overs ...then maybe just maybe he would agree to be on their cable. It is very obvious that he is is afraid of them, because they ask the hard questions, the questions that many Americans want the answers to...... so in my book he is still in the fraidy cat status. His lack of appearing on Fox...gives me all the answers I need.

I don't dispute that Obama hasn't appeared on Fox in a while. I dispute why. I do not believe it is because he is afraid nor do not believe it is because he or his administration are behaving like children...

I have always watched Fox in addition to other new outlets. Lately I am in utter shock and disbelief at what I am seeing and hearing on the network...

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

Has Lucifersam been giving you statistics lessons?

Nevertheless, it's clear that Dems are more willing to watch Fox than Republicans are willing to watch the other networks. So maybe one could say that Fox news is more "well rounded" based on variety of viewership, but the same cannot be said of Republicans vs. Democrats based on their viewing habits. The bottom line for me is screw Fox News. There's no benefit in pandering to this exploitative group of mis-reporters. The only reason to watch them is some of the ladies have some really nice tendentious.

:roll: You watch the news to stare at women, ok. I watch to get the news. If you're only reading the NY Times and watching MSNBC, your view of the world is isolated to a particular view point. If that's what you prefer, so be it, but don't denigrate one of the few news outlets out there calling the current administration to the mat. The reporting on Fox, especially in the last few months, has been exceptional. If it bothers you that they question Obama, I get it, switch the channel. The rest of us are trying to educate ourselves as to what's going on in the world.

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:

This thread took a few turns - I posted this because I was suprised Obama basically threw an african american, blind, governor under the bus because he was concerned Patterson would negatively impact the democrats ability to get votes next year. That seemed pretty unbelievable to me, but apparently, it's true, he really did ask him to step down.

No, I don't watch it for that reason. I rarely watch it at all anymore. I'm merely saying that any possible value in Fox news is of a pornographic nature as opposed to journalistic. When I say pornographic I mean quite literally it has no redeeming social value.

Cuomo has been gunning for Governor since his first breath. Not only that, he is a Democrat, very popular, polls show him beating Paterson by 4 to 1. Guiliani wouldn't stand a chance against Cuomo. If, and that's a big if, there was a conversation between Paterson and Obama, it would more likely be to tell him to stop being a cry baby and playing the race card. Bottom line: Paterson is disliked because of policies, like major cuts to education funding and taxing the bejeebers out of everything. We are waiting for air to be next. :roll:

I was having fun with the stats expecting fisher to ask for more variables to be included.

Tendentious views

Nevertheless, it's clear that Dems are more willing to watch Fox than Republicans are willing to watch the other networks. So maybe one could say that Fox news is more "well rounded" based on variety of viewership, but the same cannot be said of Republicans vs. Democrats based on their viewing habits.

The only reason to watch them is some of the ladies have some really nice tendentious.

I for one, when watching the news...want to see it as just that NEWS...if I listened, to ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN ...am not sure that those reporters are really fair and not bias in their reporting...so many times in watching them it is very obvious that they are "Obama Leaning", they ignore many issues out there...ABC was un-aware of the recent ACORN mess, I consider myself as intelligent, so why would I want to listen to "Democratic Talking Points" coming out of a news show...would rather here both sides and then make my own decision... some folks don't like to be verbally challenged they only want to hear the same views that are the same as their own...perhaps the more they hear it the easier it is to believe...as Lucifer is always talking about drinking those kool-aid drinks....I rather pour my own drink and not be served by others....

LUCIFER'S WORD: The only reason to watch them is some of the ladies have some really nice tendentious (tendentious --marked by a tendency in favor of a particular point of view)
