FOX News: Best year yet

This will set the flatliners off.

The fallacy is calling it a news outlet...it is entertainment for the rabid. Let's see who else has a larger audience than Faux......
1) Oprah
2) Dr. Phil
3) Two-half Men
4) Judge Judy
5) Family Guy
6) Jeopardy
7) Seinfeld
8) George Lopez
9) CSI Miami
10) King of Queens
11) Wheel of Fortune
and the list goes on.....

Hopefully Billy O is back from vacation this week..

The GOP has turned into a circle jerk of misinformation, propaganda and out right lies - led by Mullah Rush and Fake News Channel.

If this doesn't scare Republicans I don't know what will - GOP Approval Ratings go down, Fox's Ratings go up.

The Wingnuts love Faux because it's all pretty colors, flashing lights and waving flags. That's all they need.

But on serious note, I think they like it because it's not too mentally taxing. They don't have to actually absorb the information, take the time to parse out the positions of both sides and come to a conclusion.

It's like shorthand news - black vs. white and up vs down is really easy to understand, and get upset about, if needs be. In the Wingnuts uninformed, one "news" source based bizarro reality, they're arguments all end with - "cause we say so".

Wingnut Simpleton,

I doubt Bill-O will be in tonight, he's still busy shopping for a new Falafel.

I'm shedding a tear for you right now, Wingnutter...;(

Fox does some fine reporting, but they do have some nut cases such as Beck - he is a radical for sure - why they keep such a jerk on is beyond me - it does cheapen what in most cases is ok news..

If the ratings for ClusterFox are a reflection of how Americans feel then why in 2006 & 2008 (when Faux was also leading in the ratings) did the Republicans get their butts kicked?

Faux will always win the ratings game, they're not a real news outlet.

Stupid Republicans don't know the difference between popularity and accuracy. To the idiot Republicans, whoever screams the loudest and has the last word is right.

While you're attempting to talk about "mental power" and intellect, try using a grammar and spell-checker. Example: You meant to say "their" instead of your use of "they're."

For years, it was no secret that the big news channels and programs were left leaning. Then came the Fox News Channel which was center-right. They filled a market void that was purposely ignored for years and years and now they are prospering because of it. It's called the free market. Fox News is center-right; CNN is center-bordering left; MSNBC is center-left. It leaves an outlet for all and is based on the beautiful free-market. Right now the market leans right.

While the MSM is gushing with love over the obama's in Hawaii.... Fox News will get to the bottom of this latest terrorist attack.

..and billow and hannity and rove and that transgendered coulter. Fox is OK 4 news headlines or breaking news but beyond that ? time for some channel surfing.

Look at the diversity of the Republican Party in the photo above. Angry, bitter white people standing hand in hand with angry, bitter white people. Losers.

Right on cue BillyR steps up and lists all the shows that have ratings higher than Keith Olhbermann, Rachel MAdCow, and the Mr. Ed Show.

Then little troll Trickled On Johnny E chimes in with his 8 year old response.

Just hope Fox News dosen't get sucked into Obama Socalism as your Tribune has.

After reading "Sensible" I went back to the top and looked at the picture he spoke about.

It appears to me that it is just a group of individuals, some of whom are in patriotic costumes, attending a rally.

I see nothing frightening at all in the picture.

What is frightening is when one side of the political spectrum attempts to belittle and demonize the opposing side for stating their concerns and the main-stream-media aids and abets their effort!

The media is supposed to report the news and not take sides. That includes Beck, Olbermann and other so-called reporters.

Planet Wingnuttia,

I never knew that. But seriously when is Bill coming back from vacation? I need some more talking points from the "no spin" zone about how healthcare votes were brokered. I honestly think Obama waits for O'Reilly to go on vacation before he passes any legislation. Seems to be the pattern here. Face it, he's scared of Bill. Now excuse me I have to order more Factor gear & buy his next book...

Also don't be sad, there's still the Glen Beck show you can tune into if your bored.

Just remember people, it's fair & balanced. FOX FOX FOX!

Example: You meant to say "their" instead of your use of "they're."

If you are resorting to spelling and grammar, you have already lost the argument. Yes it takes "mental power" and intellect to hit the spell check!!!!!

More crap from Planet Wingnuttia....

Hey Brandon, if there really is such a thing as the 'Librul media' why is it that the entire right wing starts running around with their hair on fire in opposition every time the Fairness Doctrine gets discussed?

I swear, the entire Repub base is nothing more than a bunch of toothless goobers with the IQ of a grape fruit.

Reasons why Fox is NOT A REAL NEWS CHANNEL:

>> A REAL NEWS ORGANIZATION doesn’t.......PROMOTE and COVER their own protests.
http://mediamatters.org/research/200908280029

>> A REAL NEWS ORGANIZATION doesn’t.... Lie about the total number of people at the rally THEY PROMOTED...
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=380_1239836462&c=1

>> A REAL NEWS ORGANIZATION doesn’t.... Force people at a protest to make more noise to look good on TV.
http://mediamatters.org/blog/200909180037

>> A REAL NEWS ORGANIZATION doesn’t... Have NEWS ANCHORS that accuse the president of making a TERRORIST FIST JAB!
http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200806060007

>> A REAL NEWS ORGANIZATION doesn’t.... Have NEWS ANCHORS that calls the current administration a bunch of CRY BABIES
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/19/snubbed-by-obama-fox-news_n_292254.html

>> A REAL NEWS ORGANIZATION doesn’t... Go out of their way to bash the current administration by using OLD FOOTAGE and lying by saying it’s recent footage, and CROPPING it to make it look like something else was said!
http://www.dailykostv.com/w/001014/

>> A REAL NEWS ORGANIZATION doesn’t... Pass off RNC press releases as their OWN FACTS (including the typos)
http://mediamatters.org/research/200902100019?f=h_top

All of the examples cited are from Fox’s so-called NEWS ANCHORS... not the whackjob Opinion people like O’Reily, Hannity, and Beck.

This should be pointed out because the line is blurred between journalism and opinion on Fox.

The video examples above are plain and simple, Fox can’t spin their way out of it. They have been called out on the carpet time and time again... EVERYONE KNOWS THIS! Including those reporters taking up for Fox News.

When people call Faux news "right wing propaganda" and "the media arm of the Republican party" it isn't trash talking, it's the truth.

Check out these pro-Bush internal memos from Faux management. If this isn't propaganda I don't know what is.

If I wrote what you did (above), and substituted the words ‘black,’ ‘brown’ or ‘colored’ for ‘white,’ some of you furry, pseudo-liberals on the board would be denouncing me as a racist. Do you think you are any less of a racist simply because you target ‘white people’ rather than some other minority group?

NO, What is frigthening is bitter, angry white people are suddenly so "concerned" about deficits and unnecessary spending. During 8 years of Bush rule I never saw any angry mob descend onto town halls to TeaBag Congressmen and Congresswomen. These TeaParty protests took place only after we elected a Black Democrat for POTUS. And don't fall back on that, "we hate both parties" garbage. You had a TeaParty Patriot running in 2008. His name was Ron Paul and you and others thought he was a joke so you stood up on your hind legs and you supported John McCain and Palin. And. You. Lost. Get over it!

Why are people like "Sensible" allowed to attack people on this blog?
When one makes a rational point one should not be attacked!

Thats our little terry-girl.

Still writing wrongs,

Jsut asked if you give the gov't more money than you owe to fund all of these gov't programs and asked if you claim all of your revenues from your "small business". Didn't ask for specific amounts, just simple yes and no answers. Your lack of an answer just proves that you are the hypocrit that most flatliners are.

You asked me what I did for a living and pressed me for more information than I chose to give up and yet you persist.

This tells me that you are a controlling paranoid person with no respect for the boundries of others. A cyber bully.

Political correctness is for the spineless. Why aren't they wearing their flag lapel pins? Didn't their school in Indonasia provide them with one after they finished making ours for 1.00 an hour? Our fine military in the Messapotamia could use one Lady Liberty to help them with their beacon of light. We've got enough aliens obsturcting our shores.

Hi, JohnEEE-Boy,
.
We haven’t interacted in a while, have we? But enough pleasantries. I have some questions for you, as in the following:
.
1. Are you the person who goes by the screen name “sensible” (along with all of your other aliases)? Because, if you aren’t “sensible,” then my comments weren’t directed to you and I am not interested in your response. In less polite terms, if you are not “sensible,” you can put a sock in it and mind your own business.
.
2. If, however, you are “sensible” (the person) then I have to ask how it feels to justify racism. Your comment about “foaming at the mouth gangs …” etc. is nothing but an excuse to direct animosity toward a particular group identified as “white people.” That makes it racist. If you had simply identified them as ‘Republicans’ or ‘tea-baggers’ (or the like), it would have lacked the racial content that makes it racist.
.
Let’s put the shoe on the other foot for a second. Let’s just say I had made some racist comment about black, brown or ‘colored’ people, and someone called me on it for its racist content. Would it be any less racist if I then attempted to justify my comment by saying: “I’ve yet to see foaming at the mouth, gangs of inspired white people rioting and looting in the streets of L.A. Call me when it happens, okay?” Does that make it okay now, or is it simply a racist justification? I say it’s the latter.
.
You should think a little harder before wanking away on your keyboard next time. Then again, I have never seen anything to indicate that we should expect anything more than the hateful, vulgar and idiotic stuff you normally spew, huh?

Writing Wrongs,

A cyber bully? Are you going to tell mummy?

I asked some general questions, you refused to answer, so I came to my own logical conclusions - which you don't refute.

Mark,

It is time to put posters on this blog that they should not attack or belittle others or they will be banned.

Chris Cillizza did this yesterday at the Washington Post.

Fox News actually provides balance. They hire Democrats as well as Republicans--even the DNC Swamp named 7 Democrats who opine for Fox.
And Fox is having its best year ever.

Perhaps if the DNC Swamp would hire as many Republicans as Fox does Democrats, they'd do better. Perhaps if they hired even ONE Republican.....

FOX should not be used in the same sentence with 'news.' But worse than FOX are the left wing pundits who continue to attack our President and his administration. I am very tired of hearing the far left complain about everything from health care to war - We are much better off today than we were a year ago. ..........

Still Writing Wrongs,

Once again, you only need to hit the Post button once to show off your stupidity.

I'd rather be full of myself than what you are full of.

Once again, still can't refute anything I say. It is hard to argue with facts.

Apparently the resident commies don’t have throats big enough to swallow this pill. I love reading the deranged comments from lefties who can't believe that their opponent's ideology is this much more attractive than their own.

terry: when you stoop to the level of making personal attacks, you lose the debate.
That makes you a loser and the shoe fits so wear it well.

Still Writing Wrongs,

Personal attacks? "A cyber bully" and "you are full of yourself" Pot meet Kettle.

They hate Fox because it is an outlet for the other point of view ...If you can't win the arguement, then smother the opposition. The unFairness Doctrine will smother free speach. and we can return to the good old days of the left... When hacking at the Constitution was aplauded and uncriticised.. When the oath of office was a joke....+ ignored ....by both parties. Today is a different day.;;the new technology empowers.and informs the individule. faster than the chains of slavery can be applied. Today it's a race against bankruptcy and currency collapse.
Thank God for Americans like Sarah Palin.....When treason is the law then None Dare Call It Treason......

I see the Liberals still think that Fox news is not news. Just like on MSNBC after a certain hour it comes opinion programming. What is so hard for liberals to understand this I mean my Lord even CNN has opinion programming. Right now ratings at Fox news are higher than MS NBC and CNN combined. Headline news has higher ratings than CNN. What is really funny is how Fox has broke news stories but, it is hard to find the last time MSNBC or CNN has done that. TMZ as a better record of breaking a story lately than MSNBC and CNN combined.

In the coming year the Liberals will be crying even louder that Fox news network is not a news network. Because Fox will most likely be the only one for a few days to post the paperwork that Acorn tried to hide from the California State Atty. Gen. Fox news will most likely be the only news outlet that reports on the scheduled rallies coming to a town near you soon. This administration made a big mistake when it attacked Fox. That turned voters not affiliated with either party against the Democratic party. Just like Cap & Trade along with Obama care is turning even more against them. So yes the Fox news network were big winners this past year and it looks like they will stay that way as long as the other networks cover for the Democrats. But it would seem they have learned their lesson and are starting to actually try to report all the news not just the news that is favorable to the left.

You have to love how the liberals will defend the mainstream media and say they are not leaning towards the left. Here are just a few quotes from the mainstream media in the year 2009;

Melissa Lafsky of Discover magazine for the Huffington Post:

“[One wonders what] Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted’s death, and what she’d have thought of the life and career that are being heralded. Who knows — maybe she’d feel it was worth it.”

So this liberal mouthpiece is saying that it was okay for Ted Kennedy to murder Mary Jo Kopechne. Oh there are more;

Evan Thomas, assistant managing editor at Newsweek:

“Obama is, ‘We are above that now. We’re not just parochial, we’re not just chauvinistic, we’re not just provincial. We stand for something.’ I mean, in a way, Obama’s standing above the country, above the world. He’s sort of God. He’s going to bring all different sides together.”

ABC’s Bill Weir, who said at Obama’s inauguration:

“Never have so many people shivered so long with such joy. From above, even the seagulls must have been awed by the blanket of humanity.”

Couric:

“I am honored to be joined today by the Godfather of Green, the King of Conservation: Former Vice President Al Gore.”

And this one from Katie is really a joke. She only asked softball questions like this from Democrats:

“You’re so confident, Mister President, and so focused. Is your confidence ever shaken? Do you ever wake up and say, ‘Damn, this is hard. Damn, I’m not going to get the things done I want to get done, and it’s just too politicized to really get accomplished the big things I want to accomplish’?”

And after hearing Ed Schultz spouts this hate how can the left even say anything about the likes of Limbaugh or Hannity:

“The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead. They’d rather make money off your dead corpse. They kind of like it when that woman has cancer and they don’t have anything for her.”

Yes now you know why Fox news is stumping the other networks when it comes to ratings. When you are that bold in your bias who really cares what you have to say. The problem with most of the other networks is they let their biased leak into their news programs instead of saving it for their editorial programming. The majority of people that vote in this country are not liberals and can see the liberal biased. What really hurt the other news networks was the covering of the Acorn videos and how they tried to brush it off. But, after the third video they could no longer cover for them and they were caught in the cover-up. The other news networks will have a chance in 2010 to report news the way they should. Let's see if they do. Will they cover the protests over this administrations spending and immigration bill. Will they cover the protest this April fairly and not the way CNN did. Will they cover the Acorn papers once they start to be released that shows the corruption and voter registration fraud and their connection to this administration. Will they report on the members of Congress who at this time are covering for Acorn and will not allow any investigation into Acorn. Time will only tell if the other news networks along with the mainstream media can survive if they do not return to their roots.
