Spec138 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 It seems you are just talking about the actual fringe media. On that we agree. Fringe left news sources do go under... there aren't enough extremists to keep them thriving like FOX enjoys. So the largest portion of news viewers are extremists?

Destino Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Umm, I was comparing Fox to CNN and not the universe or news informational outlets. Please follow along. Which I pointed out is bad and inconsistent logic on your part. Please try to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope the reason they go under is because there are so many leftist news outlets out there. It's call over-saturation of the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baculus Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 say it together with me folks!!"THEY BOTH SUCK!" Sorry, but CNN has some good stories. Amanpour's travel to the Middle East and Afghanistan was fantastic. One of the best pieces of journalism I have seen in a while. At least CNN has Lou Dobbs. At least they will have both conservative and liberal guests. They are not perfect, but for a TV news network, besides PBS and BBC, they are pretty good at what they do.

Toe Jam Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Lou Dobbs I can agree withAnderson "Teabagger" Cooper? I can't stand Dobbs. I watch Wolf Blitzer and Campbell Brown. Those two are about as moderate as it gets. Roland Martin is getting his own show this fall. That will probably get on my nerves quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baculus Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Not likelyIs she your example of unbiased journalism? I am not sure if she is totally unbalanced, but she does not great reporting from the field. Who else could have asked direct questions of President: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran? Not many. CNN at least offers some hard hitting journalism. Some stories which are notable for their content and quality. Of course, if you never watch the channel then you probably do not see this. (And yes, I watch a lot of different channels, but CNN is among them.) Remember, this thread is about Fox lying, and I really haven't seen any conservatives even acknowledge this fact.

Unless you are P.C., I think a few of us chuckled over that. Yes, it was obvious and juvenile, but it was funny hearing him say it on T.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
