rushmc 23 #27 July 31, 2014 jakee******Show me where any neutral journalist organization has ever praised Breitbart You are desperate http://www.enumclaw.com/editorial-opinion/2012-most-trustworthy-news-sources/ You really don't see it, do you? You honestly think that associating Breitbart with Drudge, WND and TheBlaze makes it look like a neutral, respectable resource. It's quite fascinating. Look at your statment in a mirror. It that really any different? And no, I do not think they are neutral I think they offset the main stream biases however I get my news from many sources Breitbart is just one Drudge puts news together from many sights He prints very little of his own WND and the Blaze? I pay little attention to them I skim them and then see if there is more out there on stroies I find interesting But if you or anyone thinks the alphabet stations are unbiased I got some bridges I want to sell you But did you notice that quade et all did NOT refute the data/info? Why? Causet hey cant Fox is kicking ass for one reason It is LESS biased than the others Just consider my link regarding Wolfy boy He was creaming his pants when Bush's numbers were so low Obama's numbers as low? Not a peep So dont let your assumptions knock you off that high horse your are on Falls like that hurt"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

kelpdiver 2 #41 July 31, 2014 rushmc http://www.enumclaw.com/editorial-opinion/2012-most-trustworthy-news-sources/ I find it funny how no one picked up on the fact that this cite openly calls itself an editorial, which is what it is. Yet you're trying to spin it as straight up factual. As for the original story: "Compared to the same month last year, Fox News was the only cable news network up in primetime: up +8% in total viewers and up +2% in A25-54 viewers. For total day, the network was down -3% in total viewers and -5% in the demo." And to put real numbers to it, Fox News have primetime viewership of 1.8M, which is just over 0.5% of the nation. 60 Minutes, a much hated CBS show for Fox Viewers, pulled in 7.7 Million, and was the 4th rated show last week.

Patrick Stack of Time magazine has described the site's commentary as conservative-leaning.[12] The site has been described as being run by conservatives.[13] In an interview with the conservative magazine Human Events, McIntyre described the philosophy behind the Web site as based on "freedom" and "common-sense values". Said Bevan, "We think debate on the issues is a very important thing. We post a variety of opinions".

billvon 3,120 #46 July 31, 2014 >Bill could you prove this or back it up with a reliable source - not left leaning? Poll from Fairleigh Dickinson University, May 2012 - "The largest effect is that of Fox News: all else being equal, someone who watched only Fox News would be expected to answer just 1.04 domestic questions correctly — a figure which is significantly worse than if they had reported watching no media at all." Kaiser Foundation poll, 2011, poll on Obamacare - “higher shares of those who report CNN (35 percent) or MSNBC (39 percent) as their primary news source [got] 7 or more right, compared to those that report mainly watching Fox News (25 percent).” Ohio State University, 2010, poll on issues surrounding the "Ground Zero Mosque" - "People who use Fox News believe more of the rumors we asked about and they believe them more strongly than those who do not." Program on International Policy Attitudes, 2010, poll on election issues - "There were however a number of cases where greater exposure to a news source increased misinformation on a specific issue. Those who watched Fox News almost daily were significantly more likely than those who never watched it to believe that:" (9 specific pieces of misinformation were listed) Program on International Policy Attitudes, 2003, poll on Iraq war issues - "The extent of Americans’ misperceptions vary significantly depending on their source of news. Those who receive most of their news from Fox News are more likely than average to have misperceptions." Let me know if you'd like links. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
