James asks…
Why does Fox News have so much more diversity than the other TV news stations?
Fox News has the most blacks, the most women, and the most political diversity by far of all the TV news stations. Is Fox‘ diversity what accounts for them always winning the ratings and all the most ‘fair and balanced’ surveys?
MSNBC = The Obama Network.
So they have one liberal Republican on in the morning when no one is watching.
Michelle answers:
Remember, everything liberals say, in reality, is opposite.
And who cares what libs say? Reality is, Fox has the MOST viewers and beats both cnn and msnbc even with combined viewers. The majority of Americans know the truth.
@Darla: Yes, if you watched actually watched Fox, you;d know Geraldo is a liberal, and also the Alan guy that comes on Oreilly every now and then. Before then, he was a co-anchor with Hannity. See sweetheart, watching something other than cnn and msnbc opens your mind to the world.
EDIT: Exactly. In the morning when he has less of a chance to open up the dim-witted minds of liberals. In the evening, they have the lunatics like Maddcow and Mr.Tingles. Oh, and when he is on, there are like 10 libs bashig him.
Lizzie asks…
Why does FOX news constantly bash the mainstream media?
They are as mainstream as it gets. You can walk into many places, and if that place happens to have a TV and there is news on it, it’s most likely FOX. They’re literally everywhere. So, I ask you, what makes FOX less mainstream than any other news channel? It’s a corporately owned news channel that gets tons of viewers. How is it independent?
This is like the Tea Partiers calling themselves rebels when they defend the for profit system.
Terran: So hypocrisy is just fine when some rich person is making a profit off of it?
Terran: Capitalism is what turned the Middle East into a hellhole. Considering all of the wars and the fascist state of Israel that were created for profits.
If all of us uncritically waved our flags and chanted “God bless America,” the establishment would be free to do as it chooses without the people “interfering.”
There needs to be criticism of the countries previous and present conduct.
I meant to write “country’s conduct” in the additional details above. “Countries” was a typo.
Michelle answers:
OMG!!!!! A company is bashing it’s competition?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! WOW!!! I’ve never heard of something like that happening before. How dare a company rip on its economic competition!
Edit: Business is Business. Companies rip on each other all day, every day. Might as well get use to it, because it will never stop.
Here is a question for you. Why are you only accusing Fox News of this? I’ve lost count of the number of times CNN and MSNBC have ripped on FOX. If you can’t handle Capitalism and free markets, then I suggest you return to your home in the hell hole known as the Middle East.
Edit #2: You are wrong. Capitalism didn’t turn the Middle East into a hell hole (although I’m glad that you finally acknowledge that your home is the world’s asshole) Islam is what turned it into the world’s shittiest region. I also love how you view Israel as being fascist when it is a democracy; I don’t see you commenting on how almost every Islamic country are dictatorships run by blood thirsty, sexist, homophobic, racist bastards hell bent on killing anyone who isn’t Muslim. If all the Muslims in the Middle East were blown off the planet, then Humanity would actually have a chance at world peace. Sadly, you people are so backwards that you actually manage to hold back the progress of all mankind.
Islam – Making a true difference in the world, one body at a time.
Daniel asks…
If Fox news had canned laughter would people take it seriously?
Note this can be applied to any news, but the pundits on Fox news can’t be taken seriously no matter how much they scream and mug. This is why I ask against Fox in this case.
Michelle answers:
We tend to take things seriously that agree with what we say. People don’t watch pundits to be informed, but to be told that what they believe is true. A society where pundits get more views than the news reveals that the people have largely given up on being informed and simply want someone more articulate than them to second their views and help develop them further.
No one ever lost support by telling their followers what they wanted to hear.
Robert asks…
Does Yahoo Answers Politics have an agreement with Fox News to perform its moderation?
There seems to be a striking resemblance between how Yahoo Answers politics sections performs their moderation and how Fox News performs its moderation on its website. That is, right-wingers can post the most extreme libellous statements they want and they will remain, yet anything opposing the right-wing is strictly moderated and censored if it is too factual. Appealing the decisions is pointless: you will get a form email saying “On review of your case we have decided not to reinstate your content” with no adequate explanation. Is anybody here aware of such an agreement between the two media giants? Please reply quickly, before they delete my question. Thanks.
Michelle answers:
Yahoo Answers is NOT moderated! If it were, some of the loons that just try to stir things up would not be on here. . . .
All it takes is three people to report your answer and it it automatically taken down. I don’t think a real person at Yahoo is involved.
