IMO, it's complicated.

If something have a LOT of viewers for its quality or whatsoever, it will call attention - thus obtain more viewers. If the news channel is the country's classical (I'm not sure if it is on U.S. though) then it's high likely everyone will watch it.

If something become mainstream, its quality don't need to go getting better to have more viewers. The simple fact it's crowded with people watching is amusing.

Pioneering also matters a bloody lot. If there's a pioneer channel against a new channel, even with worst info said pioneer will be more attractive. That's how I see it, I guess....

Yes, because a liberal youtube channel is so unbiased....the commentator can't even get his first sentence out without 'coloring' it w/opinion!

Thanks for the great laugh

EVERY single time someone is asked &quotlease give an example of FOX lies?" they can't give one.

"Remember the Lord of the Rings? Remember those crystal balls that Sauroman and Denethor look through? Those crystal balls are known in the stories as the palintir, and the thing about the palantir is that they don't say anything that's not true. However they do paint a particular portrait of events, which corrupts the viewer of their visions to the point of view of Sauron. My point is the Fox News seems to me very much like the palintir, only not so beholden to the truth."

meh, you can stop with the avalanche of non-facts; the mods here have made it clear who gets free reign, and who doesn't. It was stupid of me to even engage with A Priori 'believers' on a kids gaming site, of all places!

Pretty soured toward the whole armorgames thing in general, but certainly won't be posting on forums

Oh and before you continue, most of the people replying to you are actually adults, and not kid gamers. Kthnxbye.

Average fox viewer is less informed than someone who doesn't watch the news at all

"People who
didnât have any reported exposure to news sou
rces were expected to answer 1.28questions correctly"

"someone who watched only Fox News would be expected to answer just 1.04 domestic questions correctly"

Basically you're better off not watching any news at all rather than watch Fox.



Here's a video where a guy filmed himself in a study for fox, and showed their completely faked and illegitimate study on marijuana.

Here's a video showing how fox skews their data. There was a video showing a ton of these faked graphs, but i can't find it.

Heh. My grandpa is watching Fox News right now. Currently listening to Hannity arguing with Juan Williams.

Anyways, honestly, I don't know why people enjoy listening to stupid arguments, when in truth, they aren't arguing about anything that will truly effect ME.

I never trust any of the Fox News polls, or the CNN polls, or even the MSNBC polls.

I always come up with my own opinion with these things;

I've learned so much about watching this stuff, like never to trust what any of them say. ARGH!

Why not watch animal planet????
