Communist propaganda is still a hard sell with hardworking, taxpaying Americans. There are still a lot of us out here.

CNN isn’t competing with Foxnews. It is competing with the other network and cable leftist news organizations. The audience of CNN is the same as MSNBC,CNBC,ABC,NBC,CBS etc.

[FlingWingFlyer]

You make a great point. You’re right.

[NormsRevenge]

begs the question what he is masquerading as... uhhhhh

[central_va]

Foxnews has no competition, they are the sole source news service for half the US population.

And the democrat party isn’t being run out of the headquarters of CNNABCNBCCBSMANBC?

Actually I think it's the other way around. The media are dutiful underlings to the 'rat-left.

Hey Reince, I’m A Republican but the RNC doesn’t speak for me, I speak for myself.

“the Republican Party is being run out of NewsCorp headquarters, masquerading as a news channel”

If he was talking about the big government crony capitalist amnesty promoting GOP elite, he may not have been far wrong. Newscorp has been promoters of amnesty for some time, via their print venue at WSJ, and the GOP elite IS “following” them.

FOX wins the rating wars because:

Viewers see it as more credible

It presents multiple viewpoints

It does not ignore newsworthy stories

The folks there are charming, entertaining and attractive

Based on it's ratings, is FOX was the voice of the Republican Party, then you would wonder why the GOP doesn't control every branch of government!

Anyway, it doesn't bother me if FOX moves somewhat left, exactly because it is NOT part of the government - it's a media company. And as long as they keep doing the things I've mentioned that have made them so popular, then I'll keep watching.

"...The folks there are charming, entertaining and attractive... "

I notice Fox doesn't hire "thunderdykes" either...

Remember, this is the same guy that WROTE Obama’s Styrofoam columns speech, and put NBC firmly in Obama’s camp over Hillary, because it “...provided better optics, and a better story.”

"Zucker today spouted off about Fox News' political influence, saying "the Republican Party is being run out of NewsCorp headquarters, masquerading as a news channel." "

This is called projection.

[Rappini]

Okay I’ll bite whats a lumshevak?

[blam]

"CNN...and most liberals...do not realize Fox News keeps moving towards the left."

Yup.

Always happens...just like the Republican Party has done.

Lumshevak

[twister881]

A purposeful departure from controlled flight, coupled in pitch, roll, and yaw. It’s a dramatic maneuver often performed at airshows and also as part of flight training — most frquently in the military — to teach students recovery techniques. Violent, disorienting, and hard on the aircraft...but a heckuva ride.

STFU scrotum head! Thanks for finding my grandmother’s glasses.

“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon!” Keep giving it right back to them, they hate to be made fun of!

[ozzymandus]

Very weak, Zucker.
