News used to be slightly biased towards the left and they tried to have some integrity. Fox News came along and turned news into agitprop and made a lot of money in the process. The people in this country have demanded propaganda and that is what we get.
You are deluded, huh?

Howard Stern gets a lot of listeners for the same reason Fox News gets a lot of listeners. It is just a different demographic.
Modern news media teaches us one horrible truth about people; we prefer to be outraged than have to think, we would rather be pandered to than educated, and we would prefer remaining ignorant to changing our mind.
Fox News is a symptom of the disease.

I'm amused by the common belief that politicians own the media, when it's obviously the other way around.
The media also owns the "Tea Party" despite what it was founded as (and what some people in this thread think it still is).

Yes, on one side we have Fox News and Howard Stern and on the other side the enlightened sages of the major networks and CNN, huh?

No dumbass, he's saying that Fox News took Howard Sterns model and applied it to news .
The psychology involved is the same, the demographics are different.

Yes, because in one breath he says "modern media" and then turns around and claims that only Fox News is the "problem".
Learn to hear what is said, not what is spoken, dumbass.

I would direct you to take your own advice re-read the thread.
SOO says no such thing.

Romney wishes that was his problem. There was energy in the tea party. Whatever Romney's campaign is is the opposite of energy.

A desire for the truth is a "different demographic"? That is a new one. You make it seem as if conservatives are a small minority. I believe you have it backwards. Liberals are 20% while conservatives are 40%. If anyone is a small minority it is liberals. The fact that they tend to out shout others only makes them seem bigger.

There are three kind of liberals;
Stupid, ignorant or evil
The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.

CNN is no Fox News. They are not nearly as succesful at giving the people what they want.
