One, that FNC is biased across the board. Like MSNBC, CNN, et al, they have a news team and commentators. No argument here that the commentators swing right but the news team is pretty good at what they do in a non-biased way. In fact, Shepard Smith, their anchor, is not conservative at all.

Two, Fox viewers are all drooling conservative idiots. In fact, studies have shown that FNC has the most balanced viewership in cable news. I think, and this is pure speculation, that the majority of FNC viewers for Beck, O’Reilly, and the other commentators watch for entertainment value not because they are in political lockstep.

Here’s one last thing to consider: Most of the FNC hosts welcome guests from the left so you are generally getting both sides presented. That’s good TV – it’s almost like a sporting match. OTOH, when you have crazed, intolerant ideologues running things – like MSNBC has with Olbermann, you only hear one point of view and the host is never challenged and that’s not generally entertaining.

I could be wrong….but I don’t think I am.

For future reference, in case you didn’t know, 2 million is not at all the same as 65 thousand.

I smiled and laughed knowingly. Don’t they see that this is exactly what Obama wanted all along. Rolling my chair back, expertly reaching the exact edge of the clear rubber mat protecting the carpet, I scanned my blog post one last time. It’s all so obvious, I thought. Those middle-american plebes just can’t get it, can they. With expert precision I clicked “submit Post” and left my office for the restroom. “I’ll be right back” I said to my office mate, tapping the I voted sticker I put on the door frame on my way out.

Yes, it’s true that the Republicans are the party of Conservatives given our two-party system, but it’s not that black and white. The NY 23 race proves this. Whereas Newt Gigrich, the local GOP and the NRCC supported Dede Scozzafava, Conservatives around the county demanded that they dump Dede.

Even opposition to Obama’s “Healthcare Reform”, Cap & Trade and Card Check is starting at a local level and percolating up. The GOP has pretty much stayed away from those issues. Citizens of this great nation are becoming informed and concerned and are looking to get involved in politics after twenty years of apathy.

Congratulations, you identified the secret motivation behind an elected official blacklisting an entire news organization – and it didn’t even shake up your preconceptions.

“What the what? truth to power? You are the White House.”

and, yes, I’d say that sums it up.
