Quite clear that partisan politics is ever popular than before!! So much for these 'News' channels!! Otherwise, how can we explain people like Beck, Hannity, Olbermann leading the pack while Cooper is at the bottom!

that is a good point

I think in terms of pure production values, the Fox shows are much more professional and polished. The talent is much more engaging as well. I mean Ed Shultz - WTF? He looks like a pug with downs syndrome and his typical state is one of confusion and bewilderment. And Keith Olbermann is one of the most annoying twerps I've seen on tv. That mixture of snide condescension and righteous indignation gets old pretty quick.

I watched one episode of Glen Beck and although I disagree with him on everything and think that his IQ is pretty close to my pants size, he is still more entertaining than anybody on the MSNBC lineup with the possible exception of Chris.

Either the country isn't as left as everyone thought, or the liberals are too busy tie dying their shirts to watch TV.

Realism said...

Lemme fix that for you:

Either the country isn't as left as everyone thought, or the liberals are too busy reading books to watch TV.

As far as the country being "left", I think the major election last year might be a good clue of the political orientation of the country.

Realism,

Surely you're not suggesting the majority of this country leans left?

HumbleHumanity said...

Lemme, kind of reminds me of lemmings. hm, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, walk over the cliff

Realism said...

Most people in this country consider themselves "conservative", a meaningless term, but the majority of people support liberal policies.

For example, the public option has widespread support

Goody goody fox is number one! They now ARE the mainstream media! Oh joy, oh happiness. We are right you are wrong, people like us better and that makes me feel good!

Congratulations, now ask me if I care.

I couldn't say it any better myself.

Afraid to look into the mirror, can you get to the end?

I've seen sore loserism before but you guys are re inventing the wheel when it comes to sore loserism with your crap these days.


Sorry you lost. That means you necessarily don't get your way as often as you use to ...thats how it works...do you remember?

Conservatives watch more TV than their lib counterparts. That shouldn't surprise you at all when you peel the onion and check out the demographics for O'Really and Hannity. It's mainly seniors who tune in regularly...hence the ads for prescription meds, ED, scooter wheelchairs, etc.

Realism said...

lol, I always crack up at how many ED commercials I see on Faux Nooz. I guess they know their audience...

PCD said...

I keep seeing the same liberal putzes come here declare victory and wee-wee themselves. Stop reading Mao's little red book and Alinsky's piece of crap.
