Gee, do you think it might have something to do with the fact that they present propaganda as news? It appears so. Could it also be that people are no longer buying the BS they disguise as news? That also appears to be the case. As President Bush puts it....

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

Gee Mr. President. For once, you are right.

Article is here.

Though I agree that Faux news is full of ****, however your article really doesn't say much about Faux being propagandist nor that it's what's making the ratings drop.
Contrarily it says that Faux remains #1 despite the drop in ratings.
CNN also dropped as well.

What your link shows is that FOX NEWS dropped sharply in the 1st quarter and dropped much less in the 2nd quarter, meaning it is improving.

What you ommitted here was how much the other networks' viewership is also going down.

FOX NEWS annihilates its competition. I mean the ratings I've seen for Fox are in the 1100 range while its competition is aroung the 100 range!!!

It never fails. The Left is always the one screaming BS, but when you check out their evidence (on the rare occasion they provide any), THEY are the ones peddling BS.

Yes, they slipped a little, and it is completely insignificant when HONESTLY put into context.

I know you have this raging hard on to see all the power return to the Left in American media, but really, we are talking about one freaking station here. Can't you people handle ANY competition?

If FOX News was as right-wing as the "mainstream" media is left-wing, there wouldn't be the viewership there is. The non-partisan studies always put FOX just right of center. It is CNN that registers way out there far from Middle America-that's why they're dying.

Americans have been bombarded by left-wing media and school monopolies for decades and decades, and the moment they get a chance to get more balanced, less anti-American, less hysterical news, they go to it in droves.

If Middle America was as sheepish and stupid as liberals love to smear them as, they would've mindlessly bought into liberal hype during the last 50 years of liberal domination.

Turns out Americans think more than that and choose coverage that doesn't make them want to vomit.

I'll be filing this thread under, "wishful thinking."

So if FOX ratings drop in the second quarter, but not as bad as in the first quarter, that is an improvement? OK, so tell me where all the added viewers are coming from. Ahhhh. I get it. 1 + 1 = 3. Thank you for making me see that.

Of course that would also depend on if the other news networks are dropping.
Unfortunately ppl like to watch mud slinging. Faux delivers faithfully.

This thread is so poorly done that I'm going to print it out, just so I can file it appropriately.
