I used to tune it to look at Crystal Ball.

Which explains why Fox News is doing so well and MSNBC is circling the drain.

I have little time for most TV, let alone cable news. I depend on a plethora of internet sources. 😛

All of those numbers, even Fox News, are horrible ratings, which goes to show that mainstream America is not watching cable news. It's clear that most people, liberal and conservative, get their news from other mediums. Mobile apps have taken over. Cable TV has been a long running joke in the media biz. Conan blasts himself all the time for failing to stay on network TV. Any performer knows that cable TV is bottom of the barrel nowadays. So comparing cable news numbers proves a very small and silly point. It basically just says that out of all the older, out-of-touch, technically-challenged Americans, most watch Fox News. Congrats!

Actual network tv is the bottomof the barrel. The finest prestige dramas are all on cable networks now and have been for years.

Why then do so many left of center folks get their knickers twisted over what goes on at FOX? Even the White House takes shots at them from time to time. A quick look at other message boards is the same. Liberals highly upset and venting frustration at FOX. Crude and juvenile stuff.

Since nobody is watching, and the few that do are old and hopeless basket cases, what does it matter?

Something doesn't compute.

Excellent observation.

Not really. Plenty of people hate Michael Moore. Are they scared of his potential influence on America, or do they simply dislike the films he puts out there?

I think they hate him because he is a grotesque disgusting scathing hypocrite and liar.

Now you can get her & Abby Huntsman on the same show. They are both refreshing, intelligent, and haven't had their hair dipped in blond with big old black roots showing (see FOX's Megyn Kelly).

True. They surely have the better programming nowadays. But as far as number of viewers and revenue, network TV dominates. It's too hard to compete with free service.

I didn't call him the grotesque -----, but came up with a big lie in about one second. What's worse was some of the stocks he owned: Halliburton, General Dynamics, Sonoco, Anadarko Petroleum...to name a few. The exact type of company he rails against the hardest.

Weren't they in his 401K? He didn't actually buy the stocks. Just like my 401K it is made up of all kinds of stocks in many different sectors. I just choose the funds.

Soon after Bush and Cheney took office I did buy Halliburton stock and am darn glad I did. That doesn't change the way I feel about war. But I got bills to pay and concerts to see. I try not to be emotional about my investments. Emotions make you stupid.

I know that first hand.

I'm a Washington Redskin fan.

Incoherent much?

What about, "That doesn't change the way I feel about war" make you think making money changes the way I feel about war?

I live in America. I'm a proud American. Just because I wasn't born here doesn't make not embrace the American way. You don't need a green card to invest. That's why I snuck into the country.

Well as long as you don't have to actually participate in the defense of our country, enjoy its freedoms and make money off that which you don't support I guess you are happy.

2 million viewers out of 319 million people........ whether you want to believe it or not, all 3 (Fox, CNN, MSNBC) are viewed by < 1% of the US population.....

Barack is out complaining about FOX again. He seems to have an obsession. Why? With such inconsequential viewership, what difference does it make?

Because he is the President and Fox News lies about him and his policies. There is no one source of news that the majority of people go to. Every source of news has some followers. Does that make it OK to lie about Obama?

_______________________________________________________________________

Obama, an abject failure as President, detests anyone and anything that actually reports the facts.
The liberals, so invested in Obama will attack Fox News because they just can’t stand it when the people are told the truth.
Fox News does what the press’s responsibility: Report the news to the people and hold the government responsible.
The liberals constantly claim that Fox News lies which in itself is a lie. Not surprisingly though because lying is the left’s bread and butter.

This has been discussed many times here but when the liberals are called out on their lies about Fox News they post snippets from far-left websites who make it their business to attack all who report the facts about Obama’s fiasco.
Note that the liberals have never proven that Fox News lies. Of course they can’t tell the difference between hard news and an opinion show either.

Fox News is the most trusted and most watched cable/satellite news network whose ratings continue to rise while the others continue to fall. The glaring proof is this thread’s topic.

Isn’t it curious that those here who hate Fox News claim they know so much about Fox News?

Fox News does not lie and the liberals cannot prove it. Watch the reaction to these facts in the posts that follow. You’ll notice no facts, no proof, all left-wing opinion which is the definition of a lie.

Not often mentioned is the fact that FOX has no shortage of Obama supporters on the air. There are plenty of panelists from the Left side that constantly take up for him.

Oh yes...it's in the obsession category alright.......exaggerate much? To your point, if he is mentioning Fox News during his media appearances, it's foolish. He should ignore it like a gnat. It doesn't change the fact that they are part of the poison-spewing garbage cable news biz.

Sometimes I listen to Smerconish.

I love this guy. I got to work with him back in my radio days. I'm glad to see him have a weekly show on CNN. He is a great pundit who calls out both sides when necessary, and forms his opinions on policies based on common sense and logic, rather than politics.

It's kind of shame what happened to his terrestrial radio career. His ratings were through the roof as a conservative host. Then he shocked all of his listeners when he came out endorsing Obama. He justified it by saying he was simply the better candidate than the Republicans. A huge chunk of his core listeners abandoned him because they felt betrayed. It led to him leaving CBS Radio for satellite. I hope he's doing well there.

Exactly.

Fox News, on political issues, generally has two "strategists", one from each side to comment.
You won't find that on the left-wing news shows.
Liberals do love to suppress any opinion that doesn't follow their ideology.

I think the typical FOX-basher, that believes only what other bashers say and don't check for themselves, would be shocked at the amount of airtime that the Liberals get on FOX. Shocked, I tell you.

I love the tiny little thinkers "exposing" Obama as a failure. Mule you won't touch the hem of the skirt of Obama's success. He looks at you and says, "that poor ignorant loser really needs my help."

You know how successful Obama is? He just bought Magnum PI's house in Hawaii. Chew on that.

Failure as President? This Presidency saved the country from financial collapse. That's a fact JackAss Man. You are nothing but Obama's beeyotch boy. That is why you are so full of hatred. The paper Obama wipes his butt with gets closer to success than you ever will.
