Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

   Don’t miss the last three minutes of this video, the part about how “conservatives have no voice in the media.”

When conservatives complain about not having a voice in media, our frustration is directed to ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN. All four of those networks project themselves as being unbiased, yet there is no question all four have a far left stance in their reporting.
Conservatives really don’t mind MSNBC, at least they pull no punches and you know exactly where they stand. The other big 4 deliberately try to deceive the public, which is what conservatives don’t like. As much as liberals love to bash Fox news, in reality Fox news really is more balanced than the other four.

Neftali says “Fox news really is more balanced than the other four.”
Incredible! That’s like saying the Chicago Bears’ offense really is the best in the NFL.
O’Reilly, Hannity, Beck and that trio of idiots on Fox in the morning are “balanced”? Come on, Neftali. We’re not that stupid.
I suppose now you’re going to tell us that Glenn Beck has all his marbles.

More to the point, Neftali, it’s preposterous to say that “conservatives have no voice in the media,” when they dominate the most popular cable news network (Fox) and dominate talk radio and frequently appear as talking heads on CNN, “Meet the Press,” “Face the Nation and “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” (not to mention the evening newscasts on all three major networks) and have columns (George Will, Charles Krauthammer, et al) in thousands of newspapers.
Anybody who says “conservatives have no voice in the media” is utterly ignorant of what’s really happening in the media.

There’s a difference between political news, and political opinion. Clearly O’Reilly, Hannity, and Beck fall into the latter. I’ve only watched Hannity on a handful of occasions. I’ve only watched Beck for 15 minutes before I got sick of him. I do try to catch Bret Baier’s news cast or the one hosted by Shepard Smith a couple of times a week, which are decidedly more balanced, much more than the “news” being propagated by the other four.
BTW - hopefully the Bears will fire Ron Turner and hire Charlie Weis as offensive coordinator. That should help with the Bears offense. They best stay away from Mike Martz.

If that’s the case Pat why does Fox beat the hell out of MSNBC hands down. Keith gets what about 50% less than any other fox news cast. He also gets beat by the AM slots.

Realfoxnews writes “If that’s the case…blah, blah, blah.”
That makes no sense. If WHAT’s the case, Fox Boy. The point of this post is not about ratings. It’s about whether conservatives have a voice in the media, which, of course, they do, despite all their whining to the contrary. I already acknowledged in a comment above that Fox is the most popular cable news channel.
You’re not too quick on the uptake, Fox Boy.
