Fox News Defends Their “Fair and Balanced” 2009 Election Coverage »
Posted By capj71 1 month, 2 weeks ago in Political News
On his FNC show yesterday Neil Cavuto launched into a defense of Fox News’ 2009 election coverage. Cavuto said, “We are not red. We are not blue. We are all about green…your money.” However, this does not explain why Fox News has done 16 segments over the past two weeks with candidates Chris Christie, Bob McConnell, and Doug Hoffman.

Here are some facts about Fox, Not Opinion, but Facts:
Reply
Fox News has pulled off another dominant quarter, claiming the top 10 cable news programs in 3Q 2009 and growing against 3Q 2008, while CNN and MSNBC lost substantial portions of their election-boom audience.
Fox News averaged 2.25 million total viewers in prime time for the third quarter, up 2% over the previous year. That's more than CNN (946,000, down 30%) and MSNBC (788,000, down 10%) combined.

to put those numbers in reality terms...
that means .75% of america watches fox (yep, just 3/4 of one percent) and that they gained a measley 45,000 viewers over the course of an entire year.
whats clear:
america is obviously NOT getting their news from any of the cable news networks. even the fake ones like fox. -

But following ratings and polls (however much Republicans like to base their opinions on that), and these numbers here presented as they are help illustrate this, in NO WAY add credibility to bias programing. Why, wasn't it just yesterday or the day before where Propeller had a thread on how Limbaugh directly identified FoxNews (by name) as a "conservative" media (all the while taking credit for the existence of FoxNews...along with the entire neo-con media/propaganda movement)?

As I keep telling pc25, ratings and numbers of viewers do not indicate the stance in which an organization takes. I mean, Britney Spears has sold a lot of albums, but that doesn't mean that the work is artistically superior. It just means that crap sells...(see FoxNews numbers).

Are you sniffing glue?

1: FoxNews is NOT a "news station". Even FoxNews recognizes that by referring to the period they call "news" as being different from their main attraction programming (beck, o'reilly, hannity, fox and friends, etc)
2: Every TV I saw today, whether the CNN at the gym or the MSNBC at home, was focused on the election coverage. Being from Arizona and in no way affecting me, it bored the snot out of me.
Thus you are really, really embarrassingly wrong. -

So you think that people do not have the right to be critical of Faux News. It is par for the course that a pseudo-con disrespects the freedom of speech. If you don't like to hear Faux being critisized for being the propaganda arm of the pseudo-conservative movement, don't listen.
