I could not figure out why some of the other news readers and/or commentators on the other cable news were taking pot shots at Fox News in general, and some of Fox's shows specifically. I think I found the reason:

But KK... this one is great... you can change pages and it is gone!!! Like sending another ones baby home with them!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo surprise here.
ReplyDeleteWhen I have the opportunity I watch Fox News, they will put all sides of a story out there, and will allow debate.
People like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hanity will really ask hard questions and be abrasive to some degree.
O'Reilly asks hard questions and gives the people on his show a fair chance to respond, if they have more than the party line or just mirroring information without any specifics. What amazes me is how many people will go on "The Factor" unprepared and unready to deal with O'Reilly. He eats these people for lunch without losing a beat.
Great blog
I believe your right the numbers tell the story.
ReplyDeleteLibs need a villian to demonize... Fox makes the perfect target... amazing how anyone that disagrees with the MSM are sheep who believe whatever Fox News says, yet the same is never said about the 3 people watching MSNBC, lol
ReplyDeletefox news has consistently beat the rest in my eyes for many years now..back before the bilderberg group took control of the rest of the major news services cnn was good...now the news is to carefully controlled... news is power
ReplyDeleteTry not to watch FOX news as it is overwhelmingly conservative bias.
