Yes, well if more people watch it, it must be better. *cough* Britney Spears *cough* The average man in the street doesn't like to think too hard, it's much nicer watching the bunnies. Fox is very shallow, in my opinion, and has way too much shouting and grandstanding on it. |

Here, 89th, I'll save you the trouble:
Groseclose, Tim. "A Measure of Media Bias". Department of Political Science, UCLA. September 2003. Says here it's only twice as much, not ten times. I'll concede that this article concludes that Fox is half as conservative as the NYT is liberal, but definitely not anywhere close to your "2%, 20%" figures. |

Which is also why 87% of statistics are made up on the spot. |

I make my own clothes from felt made from the lint collected in my dryer screen. That is SOOO much more environmentally conscious than driving a hybrid.

The concepts of left, right, center are almost completely arbitrary, and relative to the point of the view of ourself, and what is considered mainstream within our immediate vicinity. Moderate, or centrist, can and do mean very different things in, say the USA, Britain or France. FWIW, the US is generally perceived to be more towards the right by the majority of Europe, including Britain. Not just at the moment, but most of the time. Bill Clinton could easily have run as a left-leaning conservative in the UK. My opinion that Fox is the TV equivalent of a right wing rag is based on the fact that I'm mostly a liberal, whereas 89th's assertion that it is fair and balanced, just demonstrates that it is closer to his viewpoint. Joe Stalin would have considered us all to be much the same, and would probably have had us executed as dangerous lefty (or righty?) subversives. |

Haha that's funny, because I just read quite a bit of his thesis! :lol: Ok, I'll give you that it doesnt' say 2% 20% there. But you can trust I'm not making that up. I have seen that, but I just can't find it right now. Either way, if it's a toss up...I'll watch FoxNews...it has less bias. Like I said though, I like Lou Dobbs on CNN. |

89th you are absolutely priceless. You've made it clear that you thought this girl was stupid for quoting Michael Moore as her source for believing Bush is an idiot and followed up by saying that she slept with you.

This is the only reason that 89th is thankful for the liberal policies of the past half century. women's lib + value free education = even 89th has a chance to score.

It was a confusion of ideas between him and one of the lions he was hunting in Kenya that had caused A. B. Spottsworth to make the obituary column. He thought the lion was dead, and the lion thought it wasn't. - P.G. Wodehouse | |

Poor 89th, everyone is laughing at him. It's not right you know, suicide amongst lonely teenagers in America is sky high. His demise would be on our collective conscience for minutes if he realises how desperate he really is. For my part, i am laughing by him, not at him........well not directly..............i'm too far away for it to really hurt.

It's important to be able to laugh at yourself. But it's more fun and practical to laugh at 89th. -Aqua Letifer, circa today |
