Fox news showing "The Fight". I'd much rather the press be talking about "The Bowl"

What I think is sad is that you got up on Christmas morning and turned on the television.

Every true blooded American needs to be watching the liberal news so we can watch this great nation being turned into a communist (oh, I'm sorry, that's too ugly), socialist country live before our eyes. <div>I'll never understand why people knock FNC. It absolutely frightens liberals to know there is a source of news for non-liberals.</div>

..it's that it is filled with absolute idiots. Glenn Beck may be the stupidest person on any news station.

It's a Republican (not conservative) propaganda network that claims to be Fair and Balanced.
It's job is to confirm views people already have.

An interesting study from The University of Maryland that recently came out showed that off all news viewers, Fox news viewers
were the most likely to get basic facts wrong.

IN before the lock.

Were they flashing that before the fight whenever they showed it every 30 minutes? I stopped watching that network after one day where they showed the exact same clip 5 times with the same breaking news flashing graphic and booming sound effect.

I guess it's like the poll Biden says that showed people hated dems, but hated reps even more. Funny how the last poll I saw showed just the opposite (it was called the Nov '10 election).<div>People pull "studies" out their butts all day long but none are ever credible. Weird.</div>

and saw them do a clip on the use of "uppity" and interviewed people on how they thought it was a racist term. I found that funny having grown up in MS and never having any sort of association between "uppity" and blacks. CNN somehow found 3 people who did and made a national story of it. <div>And somehow people act like FNC has an agenda or shows falsities. Maybe it's a diversion tactic. BOTH sides of stories are told on FNC. Don't know how that bothers liberals, but it does. I do enjoy hearing every knick-picky complaint about FNC and how it's the problem with this country.</div><div>MERRY CHRISTMAS! I'm assuming you all celebrate the birth of Christ.</div>

"BOTH sides of stories are told on FNC."

Ha!

But I don't know whether to laugh or cry over that you actually believe that. They put the 'liberal' side in the worst possible light, completely misconstued, so that the 'conservative' side looks better by comparison (quotes because neither party is either liberal or conservative). That's a basic propaganda trick.

FNC is the communications arm of the Republican Party. This has been proven many times over. If that's your cup of tea, have at it. But you are deluding yourself if you think FNC is informing you.

And that's the reason I watch it.<div>
</div><div>All you liberals that vote for the idiots that destroy our country can go fukkk yourself. Who cares if FOX news pushes an agenda? They do it because somebody has to stand up for basic conservative principles. Like the right to say +#!% on Christmas. I hate Glenn Beck and Bill O'rielly but they are right.</div><div>
</div><div>Also, there is NO doubt that FOX news carries alot of female talent and that's another reason I watch.

And FOX NEWS is there to fill that role (as is Olbermann).

They are the Gene's Page of politics.

Merry Christmas!

The report is here: http://www.worldpublicopi...nformation_Dec10_rpt.pdf

Page 19 contains the results re: each news source of MSNBC, FOX, and CNN.

The methodology is described as:
The poll was fielded from November 6 to 15, 2010 with a sample-size of 848 respondents. The margin of error for the full sample was 3.4%. The margin of error for the poll’s 616 self-reported voters is plus or minus 3.9%. It was conducted using the web-enabled KnowledgePanel®, a probability-based panel designed to be representative of the U.S. population. Initially, participants are chosen scientifically by a random selection of telephone numbers and residential addresses. Persons in selected households are then invited by telephone or by mail to participate in the web-enabled KnowledgePanel®.
The study was conducted by WorldPublicOpinion, a research group out of UMD. It's actually a pretty cool study, whether you want to believe it or not. What they don't bother discussing (maybe because it'd be a ***** to measure) is how likely the participants' views were swayed/changed by the news sources vs. set in stone regardless of whatever objective information they hear. There's really no way of knowing that.

For the record, I can only handle FNC in small spurts. MSNBC is worse, and CNN isn't much better. I tend to get my news from Google and the AP.

Oh, and Merry Christmas.
