no surprise ...

What a shock, FOX news leans to the right? I always thought the folks at FOX News were liberals.

me too...

i just thought they were using reverse psychology...






.

They do lean right no shit? lol. But should they have been using the terms the president wanted? "Government option" is far closer to the truth than "public option".

Calling it a"Government option" instead of "public option" is no different then calling a tax increase a "Revenue Enhancement".

FOX is not alone, they all do it.

yes, but that would have defeated the point of this post which was to just troll the Fox lovers...


so, mind your business.... :1orglaugh

Question: Is your father also your grandfather? - you're such a retarded inbred hick.


also you have by far the lamest name and avatar on this board :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

So is Fox doing something wrong?
They're number 1, remember that.

Slutboat isn't a lame name?

thats what makes it scary

That's the saddest part. More Americans goto FOX for their news than any other outlet. :(

fox news is a symptom of the decline of empire.

I'm sorry but watching slutboat calling any other human stupid is hilarious.

because blue collar republicans watch too much tv.... :2 cents:




.

mcdonalds is number one too but everyone knows how shitty their food is.

lol, the danish TAX PAID media (our two main TV stations) is extremly left wing.. and our sitting government is right wing..

In the news they will always interview two with a left wing opinion and one (if any) with a right wing one.. they manipulate that all the freaking time

Because they're not allowed to have a real political opinion (because they're tax paid) they make ALOT of satire which brings out these left wing political views.. and when it's satire "it's just for fun".

Those two main TV stations in Denmark are corrupt as fuck - and why the sitting right wing government aint doing shit about it is beyond me.

America as a whole is central leaning right, been that way for some time.
Fox recognised that.
Until then most news agencies leaned left
That doesn't work well anymore
How many left leaning radio personalities have the following that Rush Limbaugh has?
How many people have the TV audience of Bill O'Reilly?

So why is Fox outperforming all other news broadcasts?
Marketing.

And the fact they're not even a news channel. It's an opinion channel, filled with tidbits of reality here and there.

we currently live in a fear based society. fox understands this and capitalizes on it better than any other news org.

Some of us Aussies watch Fox News too

Papa Bear (Bill O'Reilly) is my idol...
Glenn Beck is priceless...
Can't watch Greta Van Susteren, her voice strips the paint off my walls...

FAUX News

Is msnbc a news station? Who do you consider a news station?

they're a news station, ever watch Shepard?

No, MSNBC is like the liberal version of FOX. Or at least they try to be, but they're horrible at propoganda. Or at least nowhere near as good as FOX is at it.

For example, al-Jazeera. Now that's what I'd classify as a real news organization.

it's all bullshit... MSNBC, Fox, etc.... if you're getting your "news" from mainstream media, you're living in a fantasy world created for ratings and spreading propaganda. :2 cents:

:1orglaugh
certainly you must be joking!

it's common knowledge al jazeera has an anti-u.s. bias. not to mention anti-egypt and elsewhere.

That and the fact that old retired people have nothing to do all day but to listen to Limbaugh during the day and watch FOX at night.

And you're watching MSNBC during your breaks?

Yea, ed smith and obermann are apparently a step up from fox. Those guys make me WANT to watch Fox news.

I watched MSNBC for 30 mintues and they talked about politics during most of that time and didn't mention Obama once. I figured they didn't want him to look bad.

there is only a few hours a day that is actually called news, the rest is opinion pieces. fox admits this. america sways back and forth constantly, no one is ever happy with whats going on no matter who is in power. i wonder when people will realize the two party system has the same people behind it, the corps. anyways there is only really one channel for all the archie bunker slobs waving flags and about a dozen for the for the so called welfare loving pot smoking taxaholics. its no surprise fox is number one. if it was the other way around, they most likely would not be.

ding ding ding..we have a weiner.

I thought fox news was a fake news channel like the daily show

Name one mainstream media outlet that's fair and balanced :) :) :)

As a canadian, the fact that fox news is the most watched news channel speaks volumes about the general education of the american public. Anyone that relies on one news source for all their information is ridiculous. Try expanding your horizons and watch international news from all over the world. You might actually learn something.

Ouch, wikileaks PWNED, they should have been on that one. lol

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Couldn't have said it better.

Funny coming from a canadian so focused on American politics

BBC.....

Bloomberg....



.

Thanks for proving my point. Yes I am Canadian, this does not mean I just focus on canadian politics I like to educate myself on world politics. If you realised there is more to this world than the united states you might understand where I'm coming from.

Couldn't have said it better!

Because it is number one does not mean that everyone or even anyone relies upon it for their singular source of news...and in fact Fox actually only has one news show and that is Shepard Smith's show which is on for one hour two times per day out of 24 hours...the other shows are commentary with talking heads presenting a conservative point of view.

Great elitist and almost bigoted attitude you have. :Oh crap

funny how much american politics impacts canadian politics..

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

you need to do some research before you make that comment...

fox average viewer number is 1.9 million for the 8-12 spot..

o'reilly gets 2.9 mill for his show and so the other numbers are actually lower..

last i heard the US population was 310 million...

so less than 1% watch fox news on any given night...





.

Yeah, first I would have to give a shit about Canada, and well I don't

I'm far from an elitist or bigoted. Its called having an open mind. Something republicans need to learn. I love america and most americans. I hate right wing assholes that think the only place in the world that matters is the usa. I travelled quite extensively around the world and the majority of ignorance I've come across is from the english and americans.

Well...the majority of Canadians that post on this board appear to be ignorant...CDSmith being about the only exception. And yes...you appear to be elitist and bigoted towards Americans just as most of the Canadians that post on this board.

ditto! :thumbsup

Exactly. What an amazing thought out response
