If 90% of the media are democrats, thanks to people like Ted Turner, and Bill Gates, then why is fox news so popular?\n\nIs it because the majority of this country realize that the liberals are full of crap?

Thank you for telling it like it is!  No wartime president is popular.  People have short selective memories.  President Bush is the first president to tackle the problem of terrorism and actually do something to protect America from more attacks.  John Kerry has been an embarrassment to America dating back to his VietNam days.  The Democratic party is in a bind.  They don't have anyone who can represent them who has the intelligence, education, and who would appeal to the common sense of most Americans.  They have spent (wasted) their time bashing the current administration and they now have no realistic platform on which to stand.  They say they would "change things" but not a one of them can tell us HOW they plan to do this.  Of course the terrorists hope the democrats will be elected because the democrats have been and still are soft on terrorism.  The top people in the democratic party are buffoons.  John Kerry, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Teddy Kennedy....they are all a bunch of fools and prove it every time they open their mouths. \n.....and by the way,  I won't be voting for any democrats ever again in my lifetime!!!

That's why only people living in trailer parks and simple-minded folk watch Fox News and Bill O'Reilly. I agree the media is not liberal at all. But I suppose when they show how soldiers are dying then that shows people what is happening in this war and that's liberal thinking blah blah, etc.  I guess it's pretty liberal to document the massacres at Haditha as well. Goodness knows it's liberal to show the truth every once in a while. \n\nBBC world is so much better.

As hard as it is to believe even most of the liberals get tired of incessant whining for hours at a time.  \n\nIf you have ever listened to any of these programs (I know its tough, because each one only stays on the air about a week) their agenda for reach show either quickly reverts to USA, Bush, Conservative bashing or they are fighting with each other with the same rhetoric they use against conservatives.  \n\nHow many days in a row do they think even the most ardent NORMAL  person who also happens to be a liberal wants to listen to that.  Apparently, not long.  If there was a coherent message that appealed to most liberals, they would be able to maintain support.  \n\nThe party is near dead and they know it and the DNC realizes that better than anybody.  The same problem they have keeping radio stations on the air is identical to why they can't bring a candidate to the national stage.  Notice their candidates have to spend half their life tap dancing around the 1,000 contradictory views liberals have with each other.\n\nAs just one of a 1,000 examples, imagine the mass hysteria among the members of PETA, The Sierra Club, Green Peace and every other "save this or that organization" when Kerry was toting around those shotguns for the world to see in his feeble attempt to appeal to hunters.  \n\nNow forget about them killing each other during a radio show - let's see them stay cohesive enough to win the Oval Office, forget it.

i absolutely agree with you that the media is more out of touch with the people. i think that they have their own agenda and they report likewise. i don't really think they know what their agenda is, just that it is liberal and i think that they are completely out of touch with what affects the real people that are living paycheck to paycheck.

I actually completely disagree that the media is 'liberal'. I've seen too many highly controversial stories reported on PBS The Newshour that are never shown on network news. \n\nI think the old saying 'liberal media' is just another way the rightwing is manipulating us. They WANT us to think that so that we don't believe the real stuff... like I said some of the stories I have seen on PBS news.\n\nI wish ppl would wake up... not saying you.. but ppl in general and begin to think on their own and search for the whole, complete, real story on things.\n\nBTW, loved your comment on my B. Laden question. Some ppl argue with the truth even when it is staring them in the face.\n\nAlso, capitalism has never worked throughout history for the exact reasons we are seeing develop now.

The liberals can't get ratings for their radio shows because if you want to listen to that stuff you just check in with CNN, CBS, ABC and NBC.  Now take all of the media outlets and you have 4 of the 5....and the one left (FOX) is too the right so it gets far greater ratings because the left is divided by the other 4.  \n\nBesides the conservatives are true capitalist; and they know how to entertain, market and sell.  A socialist liberal will never understand that.

Democrats are all talk. They tend to have a very "not in my backyard" attitude about almost everything they publicly support. I agree that they are like "a boat without a rudder." I wish that wasn't the case. Our system works with two strong parties, and right now we don't have two strong parties. They need to get their act together and present someone with convictions that are truly for the good of the nation and that aren't based on popularity polls. Sadly, as of now, I just don't see it.

The media according to a major survey group out of Washington and found that the major papers and TV news channels post 77 positive stories for Democrats to every 15 for Republicans. That sounds a little biased to me?

by media do you mean something serious like FT or Herald Tribune??? I doubt many americans read either of those.\nAre they brainwashed by media like Fox and USA today? Probably...but i wouldn't even call those two "media"...

Because Liberals run the media. Except Fox News. that's the only station that showed him for what he truly is.

Many of them really do think that everything bad in the world is the Democrats fauilt... If bush killed a lady they would say Clinton brainwashed him... \n\nThey believe that they are right, no matter what and no matter what evidence there is to the contrary... and they have a support system of Fox news and conservative talk radio that backs them up... it's like a little sub-culture they have where they propagate their propaganda... \n\nit's really odd when you think about it... some one should do a PBS special on them... follow them around... view their mating habits...

A lot of people don't watch the news... a lot of people are pissed when the President's comments come on during their tv show... \n\nthe majority of these people clearly don't care...they just think it's their duty to vote and they don't want to vote for a "flip-flopper"... and that's about as far into the issues that they go... name calling works with these people and it's a major reason that Bush won in the first place...\n\nYou only have two reasons that you support Bush right now if you ask me... ignorance or you're wealthy... if you voted for him based on morals and you still support him.. hahaha... you haven't been paying attention\n\nYou also have a small contingent that only listens to conservative news stations that are clearly slanted... apparently they believe what they hear is the truth, as long as it supports what they think? It's really sad if you ask me... there is 10 times more opinion in fox news stories and interviews than any other station out there... it's a joke...

The media organizations are run by very rich, powerful people. They have agendas like everyone else. Yours and mine are to get educated, get good jobs, make a decent living, etc.  The media's job is to present a story that sells you on consuming their version of the news. That way, the more that people watch or read their news, the more money they make. And if they report from an angle ( conservative, liberal, American /Patriotic ) they get attention and hopefully more advertising dollars. Picture this, Mr. Jones runs the XYZ TV Network. He also has invested in the stock of corporations that make guns, fighter jets and ammunition - it only makes him wealthier, and therefore more powerful, if his stock increases in value because the US government is buying weaponry from the companies he has invested in.  The media, by no means whatsoever, is against President Bush. If anything, they cater to him, giving his side of the story when he was barking about weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Hussein. Well, there were no weapons of mass destruction and Saddam is in captivity. So, why is the media not screaming at him about ending the war as his "goals" of eliminating wmd's and Hussein were accomplished?  The popular media, for the most part, is run by conservative thinkers who want a good story first, and the truth later.

I guess it's only if the media wants to run with the story...how much ratings it will get them to report it over and over again. Your Political Parties are fueled off the main stream media, so if your famous, and you make a rude remark, and it is getting closer to the elections, it will be smeared everywhere. Or they "the liberals" really don't want to hear or care what Hollywood is saying unless it's for their cause and it starts getting more air time.
