Its sad when Fox beats all of there 3 competitiors COMBINED in every time slot……it must be pretty boring being #1 for a decade and nobody even coming close.

FOX wins. The gay channel loses.

I guess liberals have more to their lives than watching TV propaganda.

And I guess Republicans have nothing to do with their lives other than sitting and watching Fox “News” TV Propaganda.

Bug zappers attract bugs doesn’t mean its good for bugs. Fox attracts its believers doesn’t mean its good for them either!

no the average liberal can’t afford cable t.v. and they are to busy watching the free crap like JERRY JERRY JERRY because they spend whatever little money they have to buy cell phones in order to post crap on the internet or for drugs/alcohol or spinners and dubs for the whips etc…

Jealous of what?? why the hell would I want to watch Republican Propaganda.. When a network runs propaganda people tend to tune in..thats what fox “news” runs.. I rather watch a true worldwide network that is respected worldwide CNN.. Fox “News” cannot compete worldwide with CNN.. CNN is the number one network worldwide.. followed by the BBC.. CNN may not get the ratings here in US.. but worldwide its the leader..

I have many times as it is good to get a wide range of material before making up one’s perspective. It helps to determine what is truth and what is not. As with MSNBC and its leaning and slant on things Fox has its slant on things as well. I view each as polar opposites and as bug zappers. I am not a bug but continue to view each however as well as a wide variety of media material. Each has their merit and some of each is outright garbage.
