The Big, Bad Fox News

Fox News is Greatly Outnumbered by Other Networks, so Why the Fear?

One woman recently wrote: I'm ashamed that people think that Fox News is a credible news source!

And so is the consensus of those who were comfortable, fat and happy as long as they had a monopoly on the media, and they still outnumber Fox News 7-1, so why are people so threatened? Isn't there room for different points of view?

On most networks, Liberals are not challenged and Conservatives are either non-existent or greatly outnumbered. At least Fox News provides balance by allowing both Liberal and Conservative opinions.

Not only that, but Fox News isn't even conservative, but moderate; it only looks conservative because of the alternatives. In fact, employees of Fox News donate 81% of their contributions to Democrats.

Fox News, like other networks, employ commentators and some of those commentators are Conservative but they identify themselves as such. Commentators on other networks oftentimes cloak their political identities under the guise of neutrality, which is misleading.

Could it be that those who attack Fox News as being biased are merely projecting? After all, Democrats have the partisan assistance of the main-stream media (MSM). In addition, those in the MSM vote Democrat 90% of the time. For example, in the election of 2006, 77% of news coverage was positive towards Democrat's while a scant 12% was positive towards Republicans. That goes to show that an equitable media is an absolute farce, but people still point fingers at Fox News.

The MSM, quite often, will spin the news so hard that they screw themselves into the ground. It's amazing that those who bash Fox News have been all too happy to have the majority of the media, entertainment industry and academia on their sides but God forbid that one network gives every side a chance to be heard.

Thanks to the internet, the MSM are no longer the sole proprietors of information and they are just squirming in their seats about no longer having the predominate authority they once had, which is why Fox News intimidates them so.
