Fox News has completely outdone every other News network when it comes to 24 Hour news. Fox News took Conservative talk radio and brought it to television, mixed with the News. Talk show host Bill O Reilly argues that Fox News is like a Newspaper, with clearly labeled opinion sections, and news sections, but Newspapers are an active process, you choose what you are going to read, and in what order, where on television you are directed "Today's top Story is".
MSNBC used to be a network more like CNN, but they weren't very popular. Over time, MSNBC has attempted to evolve into a what most see as a democratic version of Fox. They literally snatched hosts of the Left wing radio stations, it started with Keith Olbermann in 2003. Olbermann is why mainstream media (except Fox) is perceived as being left wing biased. Olbermann started his News Career on The NBC Nightly News, a news program that claims to be completely unbiased. People don't like the idea that a network claiming to be impartial, would hire a man with such sharp views. Former Sports Talker Keith Olbermann, He denies that he is Liberal, and has come under fire after he donated nearly ten thousand dollars to 3 different democratic candidates. For the next 5 years the network stayed much as it had been, somewhat liberally biased, a bit more when compared to CNN, with the exception of Olbermann's super Partisan show. Network executives must have noticed that Keith was selling more than real News. Rachel Maddow did radio for Air America before she joined with MSNBC in 2008, until Air America declared bankruptcy in January of this Year. Maddow claims to be a "Truth Seeker", and sometimes she appears to be. This goes unnoticed though, because of who she is: an open lesbian. Unfortunately, I don't believe most socially conservative people give her the time of day, although she does have something to offer politically. Rachel Maddow is a very talented interviewer, although her social views alienate some. Put Ed Schultz as the Cherry on top, and you've successfully transferred Left Wing Radio (a failed concept), and converted it to the television format. So my point is this, MSNBC has the lowest ratings of any News network, they find themselves not only being dwarfed by Fox (A Network they claim is a joke), but CNN is also beating them by a good Margin. When Liberals have tried to communicate the way Conservatives do, whether it be radio or television, they have been widely unsuccessful, apart from a few. The first mistake that Liberal talkers make, is that they too often speak with people that agree with them, the majority of guests either partially or completely agree with the Host's point of view. This is a tactic used excessively by Shawn Hannity, and it makes for a very boring program, with the guest or caller talking, and the host nodding their head and going "uh huh, uh huh, uh huh." Nobody wants to see two people agree with one another, it's boring and more importantly it doesn't do any good. The hosts Fox has hired over the years have been everywhere from extremely biased to moderately biased, but they are not Partisan. I can't help but Notice that Olbermann seems to follow the democratic playbook to the letter, he tries his best to be as much of a democrat he can, in every way, even in contradiction. The pundants on Fox, are like Maddow in that they are good interviewers for someone on the other side. Rachel Maddow has an obvious perspective on the world, as does Bill O Reilly, but unlike Maddow, O Reilly isn't polarizing in the way Maddow is. Bill O Reilly is the Reason Fox News has done well long term, Glenn Beck is the reason they have done well in the short term. O Reilly, especially lately, has been quite reasonable. He not only reaches across the isle, but he listens and gives credibility to good ideas from the left, while also asking tough questions, and challenging their point of view. MSNBC views the world as Right vs. Left, while Fox news see it a bit more as right vs. wrong. |

I try listening to Ed Schultz now and then on satalite radio. He is mostly catering to left-wing groupies and does not allow righties to get on his show. At least Hannity allows the lefties to hang themselves by allowing them to speak on his radio show.
Alan Colmes has been pushed to the basement of Fox Radio. What a stupid mistake of epic proportions he made. He figured once nObama was in office the left would control all media and he would be as popular as Hannity and Rush. Typical dumbass lib without a lick of business knowledge. Doesn't even understand the nature of his listeners: lazy, stupid and mostly interested in passing the time getting high and pretending to discuss politics. |

Rowdy Maddow is a tough, cunt-eating, butch, bull-dyke, lying piece of liberal, Jewish shit. |
