So what was the point with those numbers?
Fox news is the only conservative news channel
Majority of Americans are conservative
There is more than one liberal news channel
That doesn’t make them any less bias than the rest, just they are the only ones in the field targeting the conservative base of America, which happens to be huge. Their sucess has nothing to do with their honesty and more to do with their ability to mesh news, opinion, and entertainment together in a nice cable package. Hell they have liberals like me tuning in, not because I find their message the most truthful, but because it’s entertaining and if you notice, the majority of the Fox News lineup is entertainment oriented opinion shows; that look and feel like the actual news on steroids, but you can’t tell the difference, because fox enjoys a good brain washing.
Yet I still enjoy shows like Oreily, his shows are honest in the sense that it’s his honest opinion of certain issues, I don’t consider him a good source of unbiased news, but I bet the majority of the polled did.
