William asks…
How do you know feeling that Fox viewers are statistically the most uninformed?
67% of Fox viewers believed that the “U.S. has found clear evidence in Iraq that Saddam Hussein was working closely with the al Qaeda terrorist organization” (Compared with 56% for CBS, 49% for NBC, 48% for CNN, 45% for ABC, 16% for NPR/PBS).
The belief that “The U.S. has found Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq” was held by 33% of Fox viewers and only 23% of CBS viewers, 19% for ABC, 20% for NBC, 20% for CNN and 11% for NPR/PBS
35% of Fox viewers believed that “the majority of people [in the world] favor the U.S. having gone to war” with Iraq. (Compared with 28% for CBS, 27% for ABC, 24% for CNN, 20% for NBC, 5% for NPR/PBS)
just realized i messed up the question… cut me some slack, its early.

I think what is interesting is the Times Square bomber was charged with trying to set off a weapon of mass destruction. His car was filled with gas cans and propane tanks and etc. So that is a weapon of mass destruction? Did Saddam not have access to a few cans of gas and a tank of propane? Therefore, by Obama’s Justice Department standards, Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. And then there is the question of what did Saddam send to Syria and Jordan before the invasion.
People are still blaming Bush. They need to get over it. It may never be decided if the war was just or not but the fact remains that Iraq has a chance at Democracy now that America has liberated the rape rooms and put the Taliban on the run. Maybe they should look at a few videos of Saddam’s henchmen chopping fingers of his detractors over there before the war effort and they’ll understand that what we did was a good thing. Maybe the next generation there will have a chance.
Do I think Fox viewers are more informed? Yes. I think the other media you mentioned has a strong left wing bias as evidenced by Dan Rather who forged documents to affect the outcome of a presidential election. I enjoy the panel on Special Report because they do have educated conservatives AND liberals talking about the issues. Juan Williams can hold his own against Krauthammer and both have opinions that should be equally considered.

Has Fox TV show host, GLENN BECK, made a BIG impression on the…?
…BIG government movement ? With all the boycotting fired up at ‘Gentle Glenn’…

…one would think that the pro BIG government one worlders had a raw nerve hit! The boycott has caught the International Socialist Democrat Party(ISDP) lighting a SHORT FUSE due to Glenn Beck’s astronomical climb in ratings.
Images race through my mind as I see the liberal socialists pulling out their hair as ‘Gentle Glenn’ becomes 24/7 television, a candy bar is named after Glenn & Harley Davidson manufactures it’s limited edition ‘President Beck Grand Touring Road King bike’! With the rumors turned true about Glenn Beck being picked as *Obama’s competition* in 2012…

…it looks like all the left wing communalist’s boycott did was shoot Glenn Beck into the 2012 oval office!!! With the likes of Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann as Beck’s VP candidate the fiberal left is up sheet creek without a paddle. I can see a LOT of liberal testicles getting spanked & spanked HARD on this one, like their going to be singing at the top of their lungs!
Why the liberal left had to try a boycott is beyond me. If they’d just ignored Glenn he might have not gotten so much attention leading to his incredible ratings & popularity. The cat is out of the bag now & no way to get the cat back into the bag. Was the boycott brought on line in great haste out of desperation or just plain careless stupidity? Either way, do you view this boycott as a boom for the small government crowd or a ‘bust’ for the BIG government crows???

Susan asks…
Isn’t it ironic that Liberal cable news spends their time bashing Fox, while Fox News gets all the viewers?

Maybe they should try another tactic… Fox continues to dismantle them in the ratings wars.
Michelle answers:
Not ironic, just sad. Here you are promoting Fox News, and you don’t even get a dime for them.
