watch pbs news...it's about the most boring, bland, straightforward news out there. Those other news sources are about ratings...nothing else.

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

Just keep adding variables until he's happy with the results.

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 nicetendentious (tendentious --marked by a tendency in favor of a particular point of view)

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

Fair and Balanced.....

The ratings don't lie...check em out sometime

Another fantastic skew of data. C'mon. It's a joke, right? You were only kidding, yes?

First of all-
fair and balanced is intended to refer to their content/reporting (not the breakdown of viewership by party)

Second-
Let's assume the numbers are true and a third of Fox viewers are democrats. How many of those left leaning viewers watch Fox just for shock value as I do?

I used to watch to better understand people who do not think like me and to try and make myself balanced because I also watch CNN. Now I watch because it is a guilty pleasure- like watching Jerry Springer. If it was fair and balanced I would probably watch Fox less!

I used to watch them all the time too for the Jerry Springer effect. I got totally burned out on it where it's not even fun anymore. I don't recall the exact moment, but I think it was when I made myself watch a full half hour of "Red Eye" and then I realized that the whole network is 24 hour "Red Eye".:sick:

theses are the numbers in the post above....why assume?

Explain why Fox has the 5 or 6 most watched shows in cable news...
it is fact....I'm not assuming anything

Blair, I was calling BS on your assertion that these statistics back up how "fair and balanced" Fox is...

I don't dispute that Fox has the 5 or 6 most watched shows on cable if that's what the data says. But this means nothing.

Some other examples of highly rated crap (some of which I like):

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire
Howard Stern

I thought we were talking about news......



Dancing with the Stars...American Idol....the list goes on....
What's that got to do with who's watching Fox News?

UGH.

Post 24
Margarita posts stats on Fox viewership

So you respond with-
"Fair and Balanced..... The ratings don't lie...check em out sometime"

MY POINT- ratings and breakdown of viewers by party affiliation don't mean squat with respect to how fair or balanced a programming is...
