Last week I watched Countdown with Olbermann on MSNBC and was on yahoo answers at the same time. At least 5 questions from liberals were word for word from Olbermann's mouth. So who are the real blind followers?

Liberals on YA are the ones saying conservatives are blindly following Fox News.
I do not watch Fox News. I read the paper, watch the local news and sometimes CNN.

You've hit it on the head. But they're such followers that they can only spout what they're told to spout.
Three key things that they think works: Down Fox and refer to US as the followers, call us racists and yet they are the ones who suffer from codependency and make fun of Christianity.
End of report.

Fox News has the highest ratings of all cable news channels combined, I think people are ready to think for themselves, and fox news gives you the opportunity to do just that, They lay the facts out there so you can make an informed decision. It does not matter if you are a Republican or a Democrat, rest assure Fox news will hold you accountable to the American people.

There might, of course, be some reflection of views expressed on the air because the discussions center on the events that are currently in the news. When, however, one sees slogans and certain insulting names being repeated over and over during discussions, it is reasonable to assume that some individuals are repeating what they have heard from certain broadcasters.
Mindless slogans and derogatory names seem to be promoted by certain political groups, broadcast on the air, and then soon after, endlessly repeated by YA posters and on various websites. These aren’t rational ideas or political concepts or discussions--just insulting nonsense.

Does FNC tell it's viewers to do things? No, not unless it's that stocks and business show. So how can you blindly follow a channel that doesn't really tell it's viewers to do things? They simply report news, and report how liberal the NY Times is.
I've never really watched MSNBC, but i've heard it's made a left turn.
Blindly following means doing exactly what they tell you, and by my knowledge, no channel really does that, it's simply that FNC is fair and balanced (Meaning that it has some Left shows and Right shows). But MSNBC has all left.

Exactly, I mean the only time I ever even watch the Fox Channel is to watch The Simpsons. Though I really don't watch the news all that often, I will mainly tune into local stations.

Everyone follows someone. I say, never be afraid to ask questions and look up things for yourself. No reporter, no writer, no host is right all the time. They're only human.
MSNBC allows hosts to be biased to try and get viewers.
Fox News sometimes does seem biased to me also, but who isn't biased?
They both have been unfair to Ron Paul, and I'm not happy about that.

Displacement - it is one of the primary psychological maneuvers that covers-up or disguises blatant self-deception and self-delusion.
They believe that there networks, which by university studies have been proven to have a leftist bias, to be unbiased. They are self-deluded and cannot deal with that reality so they have to lash out at others.

Ah usually because you can listen to Rush or watch a little Fox News and see a bunch of conservatives spewing the crap they just heard.
Oh plus you people say Fox News is the only "unbiased media" so it would stand to reason that, that is where you get your news.

i do by no skill watch MSNBC, yet i think NEO Conservatives, ( the non thinking style ), could get their conversing factors from someplace. Fox information is purely too chuffed to furnish them.

The FACT of the matter is 6 large conglomerates own 90% of all media in America.
TV= transcendental Vegetation

The real answer is ... there are blind followers on both sides but the cons have so many more sources, you can quote from Rush and Hannity and Coulter and then there are the white house writers.....
