Seriously... NONE of the data I used i.e. 85% of ABC,CBS,NBC executives,news anchors,etc. giving to Democrats came from FOX!
AGAIN the source:
Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters | The Daily Caller
Fox viewership:According to Nielsen data through Dec. 8, Fox News Channel averaged 1.774 million viewers in primetime (down 13% from 2012)
SOURCE:Fox News Remains Ratings Champ As 2013 Comes to Close | Variety
Where in the world did YOUR GROSS BIASED 99% exaggeration of 100 million viewers come from??? Please source your data as ANY intelligent person does!
Finally ... NOT ONE FOX journalist and see YOU don't understand the difference:
TV News commentator is like a newspaper opinion columnist... THAT's their opinion.
A TV News reporter is suppose to be a "journalist" and do REPORTING... NOT Editorializing or commenting..
According to the principle of the Five Ws, a report can only be considered complete if it answers these questions starting with an interrogative word:
Who is it about?
What happened?
Where did it take place?
When did it take place?
Why did it happen?
MOST naive people regarding the MSM's are like you and your exaggerated "100 million" number is a perfect example. You haven't done any research. You spew out
what YOU believe is the NEWS which is brought to you by people that GAVE 85% to the Democrats! The people that present the news to you, the write the stories,
that determine WHAT stories will be shown... 85% gave to Democrats. Now surely you are smart enough to recognize the following difference:
Well, our job is to bash the president, that's what we do." --
Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington,
February 2, 2007.Newsweek's Evan Thomas: 'Our Job Is To Bash the President' | NewsBusters
This was done by one of those MSM news magazine editors who later when Obama was running said:
COLOR="Blue"]I mean in a way Obamas standing above the country, above above the world, hes sort of God." [/COLOR]
Evan Thomas on Hardball, Newsweek?s Evan Thomas: Obama Is ?Sort of God? | NewsBusters
Now you tell me if you were Thomas an editor and YOU said YOUR JOB WAS TO BASH the President..but..
later you speak of the President in awed hushed referential deification mode..."he's sort of a God."... doesn't that seem pretty biased?
100 million Fox viewers???
Again, I think you're missing the point, and also looking at things strange.
For example, i didn't say Fox had 100 million viewers, I said 100 million household could get Fox, ie, if they want to watch it, they can. You're trying to claim i'm misusing stats. Not at all. I made my point about what it could mean. You've decided that I made some kind of other argument about this that I simply didn't make.
Also, what does it say about people who give money to political parties? more than 1000 people have $1 million. So some might have given a lot, some a little bit. Perhaps those Republican supporting reporters just don't like giving up their cash.
But it doesn't matter. People can watch what they like and they will. If you have one channel that is right wing and 100 that are left wing, it doesn't mean more people are watching left wing TV.
So some TV stations are pro-Democrat and others pro-Republican, it doesn't change the fact that the media really shouldn't side with either side, but they do because it's what sells.
Now, here's another potential (notice I said potential) way of looking at things. Democrats might prefer to watch the news more than Republicans, so there would be more Democratic news outlets to cater for them.
Doesn't mean more Democrats than Republicans, it just means people get their politics from different places.
The internet, for example, has changed everything. What about that?
The biggest issue I have is that the news media is either for the Republicans or Democrats and not much else, and this is very, very sad.
A media outlet pushing for PR would be amazing. But there isn't one, so most people aren't interested because they never got told about it.
