Ratings are entirely separate from quality of content. You can't very well make the case that the presence of one assumes the other.

[Dan J 277]

doesn't change the fact they are #1 & rest suck...don't think so...check the ratings. #s don't lie

For a wing nut, what else are you going to watch? Its pretty much fox news and only fox news. For every else, there are are quite a few choices. If you combine the audience of all the other networks vs fox news. The wing nut audience is actually pretty small.

Well, there's some good in this.

Fox: Palin's Appearances to be Simulcast in English

Millions to Understand Governor for First Time

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - One day after announcing that she would be a commentator on the Fox News Channel, the network revealed that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's appearances would be simulcast in English.

"We are delighted that Gov. Palin will, for the first time, be understandable to the English-speaking audience," said Fox News chief Roger Ailes. "This should create a whole new fan base for her."

Gov. Palin praised the decision, adding, "I know many Americans will be interested in understanding what I have to say and I will also too."

In a related story, Fox said it had "no interest" in hiring funnyman Conan O'Brien, explaining, "Sarah Palin takes care of our comedy needs."

If that's what you consider important in an elected leader...

Personally, I think its a bit weird.

[chri'stina 190]

And that's precisely why your comments have ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS being on this thread.

SFTFU and GTFO if you can't get with the program here!

j/k chri'stina - your earlier comment on conservatives not having to automatically fall into lockstep in admiration of Palin was spot on.

Admire who you want to admire, not who the machine tells you to.

Those are fighting words!!! (pretending I didn't see the j/k part )

Not everyone on Fox News is prejudice or ignorant just because they are right wing. They are right wing- and some people like it and some ppl despise it. There are some contributors that are not right wing on there too.

We mostly watch CNN though for the actual news getting part. Commentary on most of the News channels annoys me, EVERYONE is so obviously biased left or right. I'd like to hear more independent views.

I'm not surprised by this at all & it's entertaining to watch all of the right wing nuts turn this into a "lib" bashing opportunity. I know for myself I despise Palin because she comes across as a phony & a hypocrite. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Palin is a woman or even that she is a Republican (I have praised Republicans such as Gingrich & Reagan on many occasions).

Polls show that although Fox's viewers are predominately from the right a significant percentage of moderates & even some liberals watch as well. As for independent views they all claim to be unbiased (e.g. Fox's fair & balanced motto) which of course isn't the case.

O'Reilly has gotten a bad name, for some real reasons, but when I have tuned in to it over the past year here and there, he was actually more gracious towards Obama issues than right wing ppl he had on to discuss issues. He might surprise ppl sometimes.

don't like it...change the channel. don't like it....move to where you do like it.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I don't think anyone is under the impression that they "have" to watch Fox News. Nor does it or should it mean that they shouldn't be subject to criticism.

[My Name Is Nobody 3]

This is all creepy. I mean big time creep city.

Here we have a private citizen who is going to be a commentator on cable news network. Which creates actual name calling from people who dont even know her personally. Why does it bother you?

The creepy part is the reaction? How can the mention of the name Sarah Palin illicit such emotions?

Please explain. Its for my human behaviour classes
