FOX is ONE network.
Please explain how Kirsten Powers, Lanny Davis, Howard Wolfsen, Bob Bechel, Dr. Mark Lamont-Hill, Susan Estridge, Ellis Hennican, Geraldine Farraro, Mara Liason, Juan Williams, etc. ( all FOX regulars) are "so blatanly biased for the right"?
Still waiting for the board left to cite ONE NETWORK that has as many conservatives as FOX does liberals. Save your time,as you cannot do it.
This is why FOX is #1 on cable news: you get BOTH SIDES of everything.

That would be the only poll to have her even a little ahead.

Tell yourself whatever you need to.
Pretty much right on Cue. Actually it looks like you may have lost a point or so.

http://www.salon.com/politics/war_ro...8/07/fox_news/

An audience that decides for itself, based on “fair and balanced” coverage, ought not to reach monolithic conclusions. Yet, in our 2004 polling with Media Vote, using Nielsen diaries, we found that Fox News viewers supported George Bush over John Kerry by 88 percent to 7 percent.

http://thehill.com/mark-mellman/houn...007-03-20.html

Eighty-seven percent (87%) of Fox News viewers say they are likely to vote for John McCain,

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/publ...ow_you_ll_vote

Keep up the good work. The demographic was Bush's most loyal. Are you sure you want to be tied to this group?

Fox - 2.2 million
CNN 1.3 million
MSNBC .867 Million.

Fox > MSNBC + CNN

Quote:
The wild rides of the campaign for president and the economic turmoil boosted Fox News Channel’s prime-time block to fourth among all cable channels for the third quarter, extending its streak as the highest-rated cable news network to 27 consecutive quarters. According to data from Nielsen Media Research, FNC averaged 2.2 million total viewers in the 8-11 p.m. daypart for the just-concluded quarter.

CNN ranked ninth among all cable channels for the quarter with an average 1.3 million viewers, its biggest quarter since the Iraq war began in early 2003. MSNBC was 23rd with 867,000 total viewers and also posted the biggest year-to-year quarterly growth spurts: 81% in prime time and 48% for total-day.

This isn't a properly conducted poll. That's why he won't post a link to it.

Nope. Wht is a "properly conducted poll"? I stated it was a phone text poll. Over 1,000,000 calls. My only claims.
Are you disparaging the CNN instant poll that is cited on this forum?
I'm guessing not. Big surprise.

CNN's poll was conducted randomly (ie properly) by Opinion Research Corp immediately after the debate. It wasn't a text in. Yours is meaningless.

You make zero sense,mathematically. How is CNN's any more "random" than FOX's? How did "Opinion Research Corp."contact their subjects?
FOX in the NUMBER ONE cable news network by far,thus a wider sampling.

Look, until we see numbers from the pros; you know, Gallup, Pew, Rasmussen, Diageo, etc. none of this matters a bit. Fox viewers are overwhelmingly GOP. MSNBC viewers are overwhelmingly Dems. CNN viewers are generally closer to the middle, but still leaning left (because they are part of that Great Satan - the MSM - so there's NO WAY they could be objective).

Asking FOX news viewers who won this debate is kind of like asking the Dallas Cowboys fans who the best team is in the NFL.

Thanks, but I'll wait for the scientific polls.
