I already said I disagree with the study you posted. It's crap
methodology; little different than Jay Leno's Man on the Street skits.

You are not refuting the study, you are dismissing it. Calling the
methodology crap and comparing it to a comedy sketch disproves nothing.

Doing a study of Fox News and including all opinions shows is pretty poor
"research".

I can't disagree that you have an ingrained opinion about Fox News and its
viewers.

I do by now. And you've strengthened it.

You had it from the very beginning even though you know nothing about the
network other than what third parties tell you.


Oh I've watched it. I do my own research too. It's painfully obvious,
what their game is. A person would have to be a complete idiot not to
see it.

....and utterly dishonest
to not admit it -- at
least to themselves. No
other outlet calling
itself "news" is so
blatantly ideological
24/7 -- not just on its
obviously commentary-
oriented programs, but
during its nominal news
programming anchored by
pure newsreaders. MSNBC
is ideological from late
afternoon on through
primetime, but it's true
news hours, hosted by
people like Chris Jansing
and Contessa Brewer, are
just that, cable TV news
hours, as is its early
morning show, "Wake Up
With Al" -- and its AM
centerpiece is hosted by a
conservative former GOP
Congressman.
