No, they don’t.

“I’d rather be a moron than an elitist who looks down on those whose views differ.”

I’m sure that ship has sailed.

“Because I heard that MSNBC is actually available on more televisions … from somewhere on the internet.”

Kind of like Glenn Beck’s trusty source, “the University of… I don’t remember”?

“Yeah yeah, we get it. Everybody who doesn’t think like you do is ‘stupid.’ ”

When did they say that?

“Olbermann and Maddow dismiss anyone disagreeing with Obamacare as a tea-bagging racist redneck”

No, they don’t.

“yet when Howard Dean disagrees with it, they’re on board.”

That’s because he makes his points based on facts and standing up for health care rights.

“And a good portion of Olbermann’s show is devoted to simply playing Fox clips.”

No, it’s not. Barely even a short clip per day comes from fox news, if that much… but that is what happens when you are an illegitimate “news” channel. You have to be called out on your crap.

“His ratings jealousy has grown to the point of dementia and desperation.”

Nobody obsesses over ratings but the idiots at fox news (and their viewers) who do everything to get them. If Olbermann really cared about ratings, he would be pulling the same crap O’Reilly, Beck and Hannity do on their ridiculous shows. He doesn’t, and he gets lower ratings. Plus, he doesn’t even get the worst ratings. He basically beats every program except all the ones on Fox, so what does he have to worry about? Not much.

Sadly, Fox went to court to establish its right to broadcast fabricated news.

OH NO! You got snookered again by a lie! First off, it was a local FOX station… not FNC. Secondly, it had nothing to do with lying! I know that’s how the blue blogs spun it… but you should recognize you’ve been lied to, and do a little research. You’ll find the situation of that case to be completely different than what you’ve been fed.

Sorry to burst your hater bubble.

Yeah yeah, we get it. Everybody who doesn’t think like you do is “stupid.” The left-wing ego is hardly new… but remains a problem.

I’d like the IQ of every Fox viewer tested and posted for all to see online!

Fox is not a “news” channel just because they say they are. They went to court and fought for the right to lie on air…. and they won that right.. in court!

They are a fringe commentary group who knows how to get ratings.. they talk down to the dumbed down and sell fringe antics and use scare tactics.

The kind of thing my 86 yr old grandmother would have fallen for if she were still alive. But she was old and simple. There’s no excuse for the age groups who buy into the insanity, the BS that is sold and sensationalized on Fox.

Man oh man they must laugh their azzes off in the backrooms at Fox how easily they get ratings selling their nonsense.

It’s the same reason David Kuo whom worked in the Bush White House resigned, because of what he witnessed.. he resigned and wrote the book “Tempting Faith”.

It’s ALL THERE on ONE channel. What more could they ask for?

An actually unbiased media that gave equal time to people of all opinions. I know… it’s asking a lot.

Wrong. FNC is a cable channel just like CNN… in most cases, you need to pay for both of them… neither or over the air broadcasts. MSNBC is sometimes a “digital tier” channel… which means if you’re paying for a cable box (or have satellite), odds are you’ve got it as long as you’ve got other channels like Comedy Central and Nickelodeon.

Sorry… but your thesis is 100% incorrect.

Unify the white evangelicals, the Latinos, the war-lovers into one giant seething cesspool of a voting bloc.

So now you don’t like Latinos either? Man… everyday fewer and fewer people are “acceptable” to you.

But this does prove it… you’re more than just a hateful, bitter, angry, uninformed writer… you’re also a racist. WTG… you must be very proud.

*Sigh* One mans hate is another mans truth.

There was also a time when I watched MSNBC on a regular basis — I watched Chris Matthews almost every day, and admit to even watching Olbermann a few times. Not any more.

I don’t really watch FNC all that much, it may be the best of a weak bunch, but it’s not that great as a source of news. I like Beck and try to watch Special Report with Bret Bair (sp?), but the rest of the primetime lineup bores me.

There is room for a really good cable news network that does hard news 24/7. None of the current contenders even makes the effort.

And keithns1, do you have any actual, credible, and complete proof to back up that claim? Because I heard that MSNBC is actually available on more televisions … from somewhere on the internet.

But the actual article above was good. I like reading about credible reasons why things happen from someone who actually researches the topic and has something meaningful to add.

Especially when compared to last year – CNN actually beat FNC in some hours for the year (AC over Greta in demo). They were helped greatly by election, but still – this is the biggest difference between FNC and the rest of the pack ever.

I’m just curious. Is there a much more significant disparity between the cable news networks this year as opposed to last year? It’s been my understanding Fox has been lapping everybody since the start of the Iraq War, maybe before.
