What are you talking about? I'm liberal on many issues, if not most social issues. You are the one who thinks he's being attacked when he's not if when someone uses the word liberal, this motivates you to make an entire post about it.

 

^ you're the one who hasn't addressed how ridiculous your original post in this thread was. The 'peasantry' won't stand for your silliness.

 

it's interesting to watch

 

If you think it was ridiculous, then you most likely missed the point.

If you are waiting for me to "address" how ridiculous my post was, which is odd considering I don't think people generally post ridiculous posts on purpose, get comfortable.

They also produce and broadcast Family Guy if I remember correctly.

What people can't get through their think skulls is the cardinal rule of life: "money talks". That's all you need to know. Fox/News Corp. is in the business of broadcast media for only one reason: money. Their only agenda is to make as much of it as they can. When they run out of ways to mine more money out of their assets they buy nor assets to exploit. It's an imperative, not a bonus.

All this talk about the media being biased is nonsense. They are 100% biased toward making more money and not less. They will broadcast anything and everything to tap whatever demographic market they can find. I may seem like I don't have a clue but we are both in the same business which is attracting eyeballs to our content and charging people to put their content next to ours so it will be seen too.

There is no better way to attract attention to yourself than by broadcasting pure drama, whether thats 10 people stuck on a desert island forced to eat mud or its Glenn Beck weeping over his lost liberty in front of a larger than life flag. It's the same thing: drama and it's compelling and addictive.

It doesn't matter how you get attention. It only matters that you get it and as much of it as possible. Ever heard the cliche "there is no such thing as bad publicity"?. It isn't 100% true but is close. People don't pay for information, they pay to be entertained and stimulated.

Fox News is a train wreck of a news organization but who can resist stopping to watch? The question of bias is moot. They show what keeps the audience in their seats and tuned to their station. People will pay for punditry. They won't pay for news. There are simply too many other things competing for their attention.

 

See if you gave me moderator status I could have fixed "think" in to "thick."


I'm just sayin!

no, the forum isn't configured correctly and even I can't edit the post right now. You would have tried and failed
