Maybe you can point out to me the vast expanse of other conservative prime-time news channels that you’re comparing Fox to?

Oh that’s right – there are none!

Just liberal channels like CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, etc.

And while they dominate the rating in their genre, they are hardly dominating the air waves.

Just how many extreme right-wingers do you think there are in the country to support a ratings landslide like that? And still growing!

Answer: Not nearly enough to support those kinds of ratings. So Fox is drawing an ever growing audience from other segments too.

News and information isn’t about concensus. In every dark moment someone somewhere is holding a light.

Compare the rantings of Jon Daily with the crazy scary nonsense pushed by (insert crazy) on Fox objectively, and you can easily get a sense of what I am saying.

Again, you are confused over scale. The right wing corporate shills have produced a group willing to believe everything that they say, and have been capitalizing on it for years.

The left wing media that you folks are always blabbering about have no such loyalty or if it is there, the numbers are incredibly small.

I have a theory that explains this a bit, the right wing have been in charge on the national level for the better part of half a century. The Democrats in charge is relatively short lived and rare. If you are in the mood for corruption, do you go after the minority group or do you go after the big boys? And let’s face it, the basic tenets of Republicanism favors business corruption anyhow. They don’t mean to, but it does. Lefties, pfft, not so big into big business.

Point in case, there is an old regulation that would kick these corporate shills out of our media outlets and guess which party and their zombies are fighting it so vehemently (the left support fair reporting)? It would kill the Republican voice they bemoan, unaware that they fight against their own intellectual enslavement.

In conclusion, we Lefties have our corporate shills, but a combination of philosophical differences and our lack of continued power have minimized the impact of corporation on our news. Come on, the most popular liberal “news” show is the Daily Show, which is a spoof on everything. Compare the ranting of John Daily with the crazy scary nonsense pushed by on Fox objectively, and you get a sense of what I’m saying.

Perhaps, but not to the gratuitous and overt levels found on FOX or public radio.”

So, the lies your news source tells are more believable than the lies told on other news outlets?

Check your reading skills, I said our government was controlled by big business, and gave example from both sides of the political spectrum. But for full disclosure it should be noted that GE is making a mint off of two wars already, and that they have many Republicans on their payrolls as well. Which brings me back to my comment, until big business can be unwound from our political process, it will continue to fail.

As to your other comment, you are so full of hot air. Explain to me how Barney Frank’s managed to skew risk ratings on bundled high risk loans? Explain to me how exactly he convinced CFO’s and CEO’s to change their risk portfolios to a level that made failure inevitable? Explain to me how BF encouraged loan officers to lie, cheat and steal in order to make incredible bonuses? Explain to me how BF was responsible for unwinding Depression era regulations that were set up to protect us against just this type of calamity (Phil Graham is the point man on that absurdity)? Explain to me how BF was responsible for the gross incompetence of our regulators who were told to sit on their hands by the Bush administration?

You don’t think that BF is being used as a fall guy by the same corporate shills we talked about in the first paragraph?

Peace.
