CNN could aim for the large gap growing to the right of Fox News....
Middle? MIDDLE!? Anderson Cooper, that little sodomite, who mocked tea parties with his juvenile “tea bagging” jokes is “moderate”? Goodness!
I wish I could be ten thousand viewers so I could quit watching all at the same time.
CNN is sitting in the center-right of press-land, which is far to the left of the idealogical center of America, perhaps center-left if we are to be generous. MSNBC has its foothold on the far-left, FOX on the center-right, and every other network is battling it out in the region between left and center-left. There is little competition for the center to center-right (basically FOX), and little competition for the right (a few talking heads on FOX - perhaps just Glenn Beck and some assorted guest hosts).
FOX has some really poor programming, going beyond right-left issues (I mean, Bill O’Reilly? Geraldo Rivera? Mike Huckabee? Unwatchable and embarrassing...), and oftentimes comes across as being an RNC mouthpiece - yes, I understand every other network is collectively one giant DNC mouthpiece.
CNN plays to the middle.
LOL
Someone needs to recalibrate their political meter.
Limbaugh is to the right (20 million listners)
FOX is in the middle (2 million viewers)
MSNBC is to the far far left (0.8 million viewers)
There is a whole lot of viewers starving for something to the right of FOX.
And here I thought Fox was a hair to the 'moderate' side of center...
They are kidding themselves if they think they are playing to the center! They are left but not far left while most of the country is rigth/far right.
