Fox News Stands Out as "Too Critical" of Obama

Exactly! They’ve chosen to join an elite club alright.

[Huskrrrr]

Keep up the good work Fox!

[alloysteel]

Too critical?

Compare with any of a series of nightly rants by Keith Olbermann on the subject of George W. Bush. And tell me when Fox gets around to juxaposing Barry Soetero with “Nazis” and “slavery”.

Nearly three-in-ten (29%) select

Did any of the 3 in 10 actually watch Fox?

Three in 10 equals approximately 60% of Democrats which would be the hard core. Forty percent of Dems evidently think Fox has it about right.

2012 should be a landslide for us. Just based on their no-doubt-phony polling.

"What a useless set of statistics."

How many people think a screen door on a sub is a good idea?

Statistics on the obvious add nothing of value.

[marron]

So, 30% of people think Fox is “Too Critical”. That means 70% of people think Fox has about the right amount of criticism, or not enough

Exactly.

Without a more defined criteria, the survey lacks credibility. Unless all respondents spent the same number of hours viewing each of the news venues and the same ‘hosted’ programs, the results cannot be generalized as X being more lenient while Y was the harshest.

Otherwise, I doubt many of the respondents actually did watch the venue(s) they were most negative toward for more than a few minutes.

[Steely Tom]

About 29% of Americans think the Bush Administration was complicit in the destruction of 9-11, or intentionally looked the other way.

Lotta moonbattery out there I’m sorry to say.

[Califreak]

FNC is closer to the truth than any of the others.

Truth is offensive to too many people in our country.

29% that have never watched FOX. Any criticism is too much for them.

no one TV network is singled out for being too easy on Obama. Each of five networks (CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CBS) was named by about one in six respondents in this regard

That's easy to explain. Fox is the only one that takes Obama to task for his errors and poor policies. So when asked to spot the one hardest on Obama they have only one to choose from.

All five of the above are very easy on Obama, so when asked to select ONE that is easy on Obama, the response will be diluted among the five. Likely, a large percentage of the people checking any one of the five would have checked all five if given the chance. Thus the poll would have rated all five as heavily voted for being too easy on Obama.

Did PUKE research do the same with CNN, PSNBMC, ABC, CBS, NBC and the other LAMESTREAM MEDIA when President Bush was in office?

[truthandlife]

Is BO getting his feelings hurt

[Sprite518]

Yeah and the rest of the scum in the media are too supportive of Obama.

Fox News Ratings Cheer News Corp. Investors

April 10, 2009

Three months after Barack Obama took the White House, Fox News is beating its rival cable news networks, MSNBC and CNN, in the ratings game. The channel had an average of 2.25 million primetime viewers, seven days a week, in the first quarter of 2009, per Nielsen. That is up 24% from last year. In all-day viewing, Fox News rose 26%.

[bobwoodard]

Hmmm... so what they’re saying is that they have a 5 way tie for the network is easiest on BO?

Seems about right, although on some days, one tries to break out of the pack to be the _very_ easiest on BO.

[dbrew2u]

CNN to critical for Dims ? The boys over at Pew must be losing their minds. Any complaint about Obama to ObamaBots is too many !
