"Fox News in the most watched News Network, with the highest viewer rating! That means people turn to it for fair and balanced news coverage over all others."

If we're to use this logic, we'd be assuming that quantity is a fair indicator of quality in any instance. It asserts that the number of viewers, regardless of the circumstance that causes someone to watch something, properly measures the amount of valid information to be absorbed. Therein lies the flaw, or even the credibility of such a claim. For Instance:

Who is able to fill more seats during campaign rallies/functions?

Sen. Obama or Sen. McCain?

If we're to use the Fox News logic (of more viewers meaning quality info) then Sen. Obama's stadiums pummel McCains town halls, no? I've seen some on this forum who favor McCain & swear by Fox News... claiming the above statement in red whenever the network comes into question. Therefore, I ask this:


If tons more people attending Obama events don't matter.... why do tons more people watching Fox mean anything?

Fox has the highest new network ratings because it’s the only news network that caters to the right. The leftist news ideology has, and has had every other news network cornered for years and years. To make a comprehensive evaluation of popularity and news ratings, (related to political ideology), you would have to incorporate every “other” tv news network and match their collective ratings against Fox.

Of course the Fox tv ratings are stimulated by their ability to “attract” Foxy ladies to do the Fox News, thereby attracting multiple male Fox hunters.

make that extreme right. unlike over there. liberals in the rest of the world are quite in the center of the political spectrum. In fact, liberals in europe are seen as rightwing.

actually, cnn is pretty neutral, as are other news channels if you look at it on a wider political scale.

Geee I wonder what side of the fence you sit on?

CNN Neutral? Not what I saw yesterday afternoon.

Fox is far right? WTF is the right anymore?

That is equivocation. The definition of liberal is different within the US from outside the US.

He doesn't understand how the term liberal or conservative are applied to the Constitution. Or the rest of the world.

They are roughly opposite.
