Fox News gets slammed by the MSM as a tool of the Republican Party, etc. Its funny because for decades ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN dominated news. I can remember I hated watching the news because I always saw it as sappy personal stories of how bad things are and here was this sad, sappy store to prove/back it up. The MSM pushes liberal views on the people and those not well grounded in what they believe or why they believe fall prey to their spin by the millions. Throw into the picture a news organization, Fox, that emerges in the 1990s that presents the “other side” of news OR from the perspective of non-liberals! The reason why they really get blasted is because Fox News has blown ALL competition out of the water. Look at this information I pulled from the Drudge Report this morning:
CABLE NEWS RACE
THURS, OCT. 30
VIEWERS
FOXNEWS O’REILLY 4,706,000
FOXNEWS HANNITY/COLMES 4,001,000
MSNBC MADDOW 3,041,000
FOXNEWS GRETA 2,848,000
MSNBC OLBERMANN 2,811,000
CNN COOPER 2,550,000
FOXNEWS SHEP SMITH 2,419,000
FOXNEWS HUME 2,255,000
CNN KING 1,881,000
MSNBC HARDBALL 1,703,000
This is a consistent trend. Notice that two of the MOST liberal individuals on tv (of whom the MSM loves) is CNN’s Larry King and MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. O’Reilly and Hannity/Colmes usually dominates all showings. Its a liberal thing, if someone is successful you have to tear them down.
