Just to throw a kink in things, Beck is getting booted from Fox. Some point later in the year is when.

According to the link below FNC claimed the top 13 spots in rankings and when you compare all the channels available to people for news FNC still comes out on top. Granted only a couple of shows actually qualify as news shows but still the top 13 are all FNC.

That’s a very interesting point. I wasn’t aware that ratings equals quality. But now that I know that I’m gonna reassess my feelings about the show Three’s Company. But you know that the two are not related. I’m suggesting not that it’s not popular or powerful, so is crack.

^And that comment brings this thread full circle because ignorance is what all this thread title is about.

I did add in a disclaimer there Lib.
QUOTE Granted only a couple of shows actually qualify as news shows but still the top 13 are all FNC.
Ratings don't equal equality but as I said before with the 24 hour news channels and other means of getting your daily news the fact that people are watching FNC and putting 13 of it's shows ahead of all others from ANY other network is rather mind boggling. I watch FNC's morning show if I watch it at all and most times if I am watching any TV news it is BBCA.
Expat they should have the same rights to free speech as a regular citizen does. There are liable laws in place to prevent blatant ignorance on the part of reporters no matter what channel they are affiliated with. It is impossible to not put into a news cast a persons personal political leaning or beliefs. It's not always done overtly but we are human beings so if we want to remove that aspect then just get rid of the humans behind the news desk and replace them with something more mechanical.
QUOTE Journalism has been dead for some time in this Country, the networks are spoon fed propaganda from the US government and the Israel Lobby...a handful of moguls control the American media, We are simply being brainwashed with propaganda...It's very much the situation that George Orwell describes in 1984.
The only change I would make is I would put HONEST in front of this but otherwise I don't disagree with this at all Expat.
I.E. excellent point. I wish more "news" channels would do this and do it in an honest and open environment so nobody could truly claim bias against one side or the other.

It's funny how you kooks continue to claim fox has the most viewers when the liberal networks blow them out of the water every night. Isn't NBC, CBS, and ABC liberal news? And do they not get way more viewers every night?
