Question

How can the republican conservatives say that the liberals own the media, when Fox News is one of the top watched tv stations?

And second of all, do they even know the actual definition of a liberal??

Answer 1

One says they sh it and the others say they smell it and they all listen to faux news where they get most if not all of their idea's. In fact most of the media today is owned by rich repuglicans and most are not liberal as stated by these sick individuals.

Answer 2

You have to look at the odds. Fox=1

ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, most all of the major newpapers and news magazines - expecially Time and Newsweek = hundreds if not thousands.

I think their claim is on solid ground. The liberals can't stand an opposing voice of any kind. Not one. But then, that's how communists and socialists subvert countries while hiding behind the mask of liberalism.

Read the book referenced below then come back and see if you can ask that question with a clear conscience.

Written by a former head of the LA chapter of NOW. I wouldn't call her conservative, so maybe what she reveals might carry some weight for you.

Answer 3

Yeah, we're talking about the main stream media, such as ABC, NBC and CBS... when we say Liberal media. Fortunately, main stream, much like the Democrat party is quickly becoming a thing of the past. In the last 8 to 10 years, FOX came on the seen, and covers EVERYTHING. Yep, if Fox, and talk news radio would of been around during Nixon's time, he'd of never resigned, and all sides of the story would of been told, and Vietnam wouldn't of been "lost" either. FOX NEWS is, and will continue to be the down fall of the hypocritical,Liberal party. Let's see, a Liberal usually has Lib views, such as being pro-choice, for gay marriage, welfare for dead beats, open our borders... Conservatives are just the opposite.

Answer 4

"What, didn't you know? Fox News is the best. We always tell the truth, unlike those Liberal organizations. We are never wrong, like how to deal with 10 year old pregnant rape victims. They're sluts. Why the hell would they get pregnant at 10? And those homos. Thinking they're human enough to warrant the ability to profess what they call love for each other. Yuck! Never have I seen anything more disgusting. And don't get me started on those sandniggers! I say, we wipe them off the face of the world, along with those porch monkeys, we'll be a whole lot better off. The perfect utopia: Only white, Conservative, Fox News junkies."

Answer 5

Since 1962, there have been 11 surveys of the media that sought the political views of hundreds of journalists. In 1971, they were 53 percent liberal, 17 percent conservative. In a 1976 survey of the Washington press corps, it was 59 percent liberal, 18 percent conservative. A 1985 poll of 3,200 reporters found them to be self-identified as 55 percent liberal, 17 percent conservative. In 1996, another survey of Washington journalists pegged the breakdown as 61 percent liberal, 9 percent conservative. Now, the new study by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found the national media to be 34 percent liberal and 7 percent conservative.

Answer 6

Fox news takes about 30 percent of the news share.. that means that all the other stations split up the other 70... and granted, none of those can get as much as 30 percent though, so Fox News wins, in a way...

and the JOB of the NEWS is to TELL THE BAD THINGS... who cares about the "good things"... people don't buy the "good things"... papers that focus on that go out of business... it's happened before...

K S... that's hilarious... you want Nixon to be a hero? People like you will destroy America... you make excuses for even the most blatantly corrupt politicians, just because they are in your party?

Answer 7

I agree about Fox. But I am an Independent and I do feel that I am able to notice the subtle biases of individual pundits and anchors and other talking heads who claim neutrality. I sometimes think that for the most part that the media is anti-Presidency, whoever is in office. They skewered Clinton, and I heard Read My Lips a thousand times.

Answer 8

Fox is probably top watched because the other 5 or 6 networks are dominated by liberal slant. if you want liberal news, you have many choices, if you want conservative news, Fox is the primary choice.
Summary;

Most conservatives watch 1 news program. Most liberals watch one of many news programs.

Answer 9

Okay .....pay attention I'll type real slow so you can understand. Fox is one station. Just one. The left has the remainder of them. Fox is number one, because that is a place that we (right) feel we can get the complete story to make a proper judgment of the situation. The fact that Fox is number one, should tell you something. It is unbiased. But note, it is only one. Was that slow enough for you?

Answer 10

As a information junkie, I watch CNN, MSNBC and FOX daily. they are all biased to declare the least, so I take what all of them say and that i make up my very own suggestions. individually, I miss Tim Russert. He with the aid of a techniques replace into the final in case you somewhat needed a balanced view.

Answer 11

Looking at the editorial page of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, I don't care who owns the paper, I only care about who writes those editorials.

I define liberals by thinking of William O. Douglas and William Brennan.
