Every since the 24 hr new cycle began, news has became infotainment. Ever try to watch actual reporting on facts???? Boring as fuck. You only care about what you agree with. You only want to listen to what you agree with. No one cares about data, statistics or even facts anymore. Journalism used to be about facts, digging up facts, exposing wrong doing etc. There has been no place for that in the USA media for decades. News has changed radically in the last 30 years. Few here are even old enough to know how things have changed since CNN started and the 24hr news cycle came into being. Fox did not create or invent that concept of infotainment. Fox did however, embrace it and run with it and have been more successful than anyone else in this respect.
Bill O'reilly, Glen Beck ... even people like Rush Limbaugh etc are ENTERTAINERS. They aren't successful because of those who believe what they say and those who support them. They are successful because everyone who hates them watches them more, talks about them more, spreads their stories more, posts about them more and so on.
Howard Stern rocketed to fame by being a total fucking moron. His success came from people that hated him, people he pissed off, people he offended, people he made fun of and so on. He was just a nobody fuckwit on the air farting into the mic. As with Oreilly et al, he was clever enough to realize what drove his success - not his "great talent" or that he had amazing things to say, be that he was pissing off the right people who would talk about him day and night. Now he's a billionaire.
Congrats Liberals. You've made Fox News a raging success! How many records does Oreilly hold for the popularity of his show? Isn't his the most watched show on Cable in the USA? You're so dumb to believe its because Conservatives are gathered around the TV hanging on his every word? Of course not, its because his larger audience is Liberal. He doesn't have anything to say but a confident and grating attack on your values and because of that, you've chosen to make him popular. You are the fool. You made him who he is.
How pissed do some of you fucking idiots get when Fox News says "Fair and balanced".... haha. You think thats by accident? YOU drive their success by letting them get under your skin.
Obviously Fox News is biased to the Right. MSNBC is VERY Liberal... of course, they get a pass when those criticizing Conservatives are Liberal and everyone is just as biased towards their own views of anyone else.
