Liberals scoff at any person who points out the obvious fact that the mainstream media is overwhelmingly biased to the left. And Fox News Channel, through the eyes of a liberal, is nothing but conservative propaganda. Cable news personalities on CNN and MSNBC discredit Fox, pretending that they haven’t been overshadowed by FNC’s success for years on end.
The simple reality is that, especially recently, Fox News has been the only source of quality journalism and reporting in the cable news realm. The numbers speak for themselves; Fox is consistently on top. On the evening of Tuesday, September 15, Bill O’Reilly’s viewership was 4,039,000, followed by Hannity, Beck, Greta, Baier, and Shep Smith—all above 2 and 3 million. The closest a rival station came to Fox was MSNBC’s Keith Olberman, at a modest 1.3 million.
So if Fox News is merely a “tool of the right” to feed the fire of the angry conservative conspiracy, then why exactly is it the most watched, most trusted and most successful cable news station?
Because it is genuine alternative media. Other cable news stations like MSNBC and CNN have apparently rejected the notion of the watch-dog media (lap-dog is more their forte these days)...

And when they get ugly, I further remind them that truthful reporting is what the people want.
Glenn Beck kicked ACORN's rock over, and exposed the nasties hiding underneath. Same thing happened last year when Sean Hannity broke the story about the racist venom being spewed by Jeremiah Wright.
It is the TRUTH that people seek, and the ratings easily prove that.
Keith Olbermann is quite possibly the nastiest person on television. Runner up is Rachel Madcow.
Time, Inc. is coming on the market. You could buy it and run it as a conservative news weekly.
it sure ain’t their MLB coverage.
The old media has been fingered at anti-american for a very good reason—look at their history going back to the vietnam war of mr. Kennedy.
FNC should show what CNN says about the USA outside the USA.
CNN’s market is not in the USA, CNN is there to sell “product” to the hate america audience outside the usa.
That is what the hollyweird or NYC types say when a show is cancelled. It was “too smart” for the TV audience.
Agreed. That Megyn Kelly is rather easy on the eyes, and she doesn’t take crap from anyone. If you get bored, peruse Univision’s newscasts. Talk about easy on the eyes...wowsa.
I think that's a really good idea.
Check the Washington Times
Haha - I keep hoping Olbermann and Rachel will see something to love in each other and hook up hahaha....
So full of hate - can’t be a pleasant life for either one.
Seems obvious to me... any liberal trolls want to explain it from the liberal MSM viewpoint?

Keith Olbermann has viewers?
Thanks for the pings, FRiend. I’ve been mostly offline for a few days, and am slowly catching up... ;-)
He does, but they all work at for MSNBC or one of the sibling companies. ;’) Oh, and people who wander by appliance stores at night...
