TSB is heavily liberal...they hate Fox News and don't realize the inherent left wing bias of CNN or MSNBC? wow...what a surprise...shocking...i can't believe it...what a breakthrough

serious question for TSB:

do you all realize any liberal bias in any (non fox news) channels? or do you kind of view non fox news channels as the norm and fairly "down the middle"?

"The regular audience for the Fox News Channel continues to include more Republicans than Democrats. Currently, 39% of regular Fox News viewers are Republicans while 33% are Democrats; in 2006, the margin was 38% to 31%."

Fox News Channel Leads in 2007 Cable News Ratings

Quote :

"Fox News Channel once again ended the year as cable's top news network, followed by CNN, with few radical ratings dips or surges for either network. But among the channels with smaller audience totals -- MSNBC, CNBC and CNN Headline News -- 2007 was a year of growth. For the year in primetime, Fox News was the No. 6-ranked cable channel behind USA Network, TNT, ESPN, TBS and Lifetime Television. That's two notches higher than its ranking last year. CNN, its closest news competitor, was No. 26, down one."

10/9/2008 2:55:51 AM

that goes to show that even democrats are fed up with the bullshit streaming from other news stations

10/9/2008 3:13:30 AM

oh, i get it now:

"everyone watches it, therefore they are right!"

thanks for clearing it up.

im glad fox news is straight up, now. no bias, obviously. i mean, look at how many people are watching!!!!!1

10/9/2008 3:34:49 AM

FAUX NEWS!!!1

10/9/2008 3:49:45 AM

I think everyone here would say I'm fairly liberal... I watch Faux News a lot of the time just because it's more entertaining. I can get the same news, but it can be fun to see how stupid a lot of the pundits on that channel are and I am capable of seeing through their bullshit (as I can see through the bullshit on other networks too). I think a lot of people are like me.

i managed to watch keith olbermans show last night, and the bitch's show the followed


i cant believe people actually watch that and take them seriously

even oreilly presents both sides (for the most part) and is well versed on the issues at hand .. but damn, olberman was off the wall ... he sounded like the annoying drunk guy at the bar by himself trying to start arguments with everyone around

at least he doesnt hide the fact hes liberal

10/9/2008 2:33:45 PM

yea how dare someone call out liberals and rant about them on television .. .thats pure evil right there


he had ralph nader on last night and he agreed with him on almost every issue, he fairly interviewed obama and slotted 2 nights for him ... the day olberman has mccain on there and legitimately interviews a conservative... well, that will never happen

10/9/2008 2:36:55 PM

10/11/2008 10:34:48 AM

as much as i hate Fox, they aren't really trying to hide where they stand. unlike the majority of the media who pretend they're in the middle, and might even THINK they're in the middle, but are really left of center. i don't know which irritates me more. so i just get all my news from TWW

10/11/2008 11:15:05 AM

My take

Obviously FOX is biased. I dont even think they make a serious attempt to show otherwise.

MSNBC, jumped the shark a few years ago after Olberman saw his rating explode we he went off on president Bush. Basically, MSNBC in primetime is clearly biased with Olberman being the worst but MSNBC in the daytime is pretty straight and so is MSNBC.com

Though I will say that MSNBC does have Pat Buchanan and Michelle Benard who are two of the most thoughtful right leaning pundits on TV. Of Scharbourgh is there two but I think he is two steps away from flipping democrat.


CNN I think does its best not to be biased. They hire only the absolute nerdiest, goody two-shoes people to work their shows which almost guarantees that they will be liberal but the basic outline of the reporting attempts objectivity.

10/11/2008 11:33:33 AM

I don't see how you can say Scarborough is a Democrat when he was a Republican congressman. That just means he chooses to use his brain in order to see how bad Republicans are right now.

10/11/2008 11:40:43 AM

CNN's to the left of Hannity. Clearly they're liberal!

uhhh, the channel's slogan is "Fair and balanced: We Report, You Decide", and their most popular show claims that his show is "the no spin zone". Of all the news channels, Fox News is the one who most tried to pretend they're unbiased.

10/11/2008 12:37:57 PM

just having a slogan that says you're unbiased doesn't mean you're trying.

10/11/2008 3:56:56 PM

i agree, i don't think they're even trying.
But they still repeat "fair and balanced" dozens of times a day, so clearly they want people think they're trying

10/11/2008 5:33:14 PM

so what you really meant was

I honestly don't know where you're going with this......

Yes, fine, rephrase my statement again, and I guess it's still true. But are you trying to use that as some kind of excuse or rationalization for what they do?
Fox News (and most other "news" stations) are contributing to and profiting off of the dumbing-down of America with blatant anti-intellectualism and unencumbered doublespeak.

I know that all of this is in pursuit of the all-mighty dollar, and it's obviously working for them because so many people buy into it, but that doesn't make it right or excusable.

fox news is the only station currently investigating obamas past .. i wonder if theyve read some of my posts b/c this news was non existent last week


must hurt to bring national skepticism to the bullshit you hide behind .. no wonder you hate the station so much

10/12/2008 2:43:43 PM

I often wonder how far TKEshultz is from reality.

I think he's gone off the deep end.

During the Wright fiasco, every single news organization was investigating it. CNN, NPR, and MSNBC have all been running reports about Ayers as well.

The only reason Fox News keeps hammering on this shit is because their job is to help out the GOP candidate in any way they can.

My parents actually believe that Fox is a balanced news source. It's rough visiting them now since they have Fox on 24 hours a day now.

i've gotten this email from two family members (in-laws) who also think Fox News is a god send

Quote :

"Watch Sunday Night. FOX News @ 9PM SEAN HANNITY, OF HANNITY & COLMES ~ IS GOING TO AIR A VERY IMPORTANT DOCUMENTARY ABOUT BARACK OBAMA, SUNDAY NIGHT AT 9:00 PM. HE STATED ON THE AIR THIS EVENING THAT NO ONE IN THE NEWS MEDIA WAS WILLING TO DO THIS. HANNITY IS GOING BACK TO OBAMA'S EARLIER DAYS, SHOWING EVEN THEN HIS TIES TO RADICAL PROFESSORS, FRIENDS, SPIRITUAL ADVISERS, Etc., HE STATED THIS EVENING THAT HE WILL SHOW IN DETAIL HIS TIES TO REV. WRIGHT FOR 20+ YRS (which we all know) HOW HE WAS PARTICIPATING WITH THIS MAN, AND NOT FOR THE REASONS HE STATES! HE HAS UNCOVERED MORE OF OBAMA'S RADICAL LEADERS AND WE WILL SEE THINGS THAT NO ONE IN THE MEDIA IS WILLING TO PUT OUT THERE. THIS WILL BE A NIGHT THAT YOU WILL KNOW MORE ABOUT OBAMA THAN EVER BEFORE. HANNITY IS VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS PROGRAM AND ASKED THAT EVERYONE PLEASE, PLEASE WATCH~~ SUNDAY NIGHT, 9 PM. HANNITY IS DETERMINED THIS INFORMATION BE PUT OUT THERE BECAUSE AS AMERICAN'S, WE STILL DO NOT KNOW ABOUT OBAMA!! WAKE UP AMERICA !! THIS IS SERIOUS,EVERYONE. I KNOW MOST OF YOU WATCH FOX NEWS, AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE VOTING FOR, BUT IF YOU CAN, PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. THIS IS CRITICAL FOR OUR COUNTRY. MY PRAYER IS THAT WE, ALONG WITH SEAN HANNITY, WILL REACH SOMEONE/ANYONE BEFORE NOV. 4th. WE MUST NOT GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!"

Because when I think of journalistic excellence, I think of Sean Hannity!!
