fox has the top 55 programs, while larry king comes in 56.

American Idol is the greatest show in the history of television I guess.

bias only matters when it significantly distorts and outright misrepresent the situation. There is nothing on the "left" that comes close to touching Fox News, among the major networks and newspapers.

Yeah, because if the public went out and found stuff even further to the left than the NYT, then they'd really write off the political left as a bunch of kooks. We can't have that.

Future Boy · 08-03-2006, 01:14 PM

that's from media matters, so it doesn't count

Junebug · 08-03-2006, 11:32 PM

/\ i watched one of those segments and i don't remember what they said or how they made it out to be good for iraq. does anyone remember? i'm just curious. poor fox news.

he's right. I screwed the question up. But the point stands, what major "lefty" news org gets anywhere close to that level of hackery. It doesnt happen.

Of course not. Lefty news organizations only display a high level of hackery. They can't get anywhere close to the low level of hackery displayed by news organizations on the right.

D. · 08-04-2006, 03:54 AM

my supervisor and i were talking abou this today, too.

only we went to the homepage for each one. fox news said "rumsfeld fields questions on war's progress" or something like that and cnn said something alluding to rumsfeld being bombarded with questions and having no answer.

i dunno, it was somerthing like that and we thought it was silly.

I thought we'd already established this: the new york times

jczeroman · 08-04-2006, 10:03 AM

I can't speak for fox becuase I don't watch it or check it, but CNN's viewers are pretty ignorant based on today's quickpoll:

Why is it so ignorant that some conclude that global warming may be tied to the hottest first half year in the continental US in recorded history?

Debaser · 08-04-2006, 03:39 PM

Well we've easily brought up examples of foxnews being loony right wing. I'd like to see examples to justify corgy's and nimrods implication that the NYTimes is equivalently loony to the left.

homechicago · 08-04-2006, 04:36 PM

I'm surprised foxnews has taken time to discuss iraq at all. if it isn't gretta van discussing the blonde aruba girl, is it even news worth watching?

foxnews has bill o'reilly. the fact that people watch that crap tells me that a large portion of society are willing to be indoctrinated by a flip-flopping fool. he's an idiot and the anti-sexual harrassment panda. seriously, watch his show at the beginning of the week and listen to him contradict his own statements at the end of the week.

oh, he also threatens viewers with the foxnews militia.
