Do conservatives watch Fox News because they decide and report?

I got rid of TV cable about 2 months ago.  But i happened to catch Fox news tonight...It was glitzier than I recall...and seeemed even more than ever "entertainment" in the way it was laid out and the content of it's so called "news"...it wasn't news it was hype...If you watch it all the time...even if you hate it...it will affect you...my advice to all people that hate it...STOP WATCHING THAT CRAP, IT INVADES YOUR MIND AND SPIRIT.

Drive-by media.\n\nThe only opinions most of them will accept are the left wingers.  \n\nDon't believe me?  See for yourself.  (P)MSNBC, New York Times, Chicago Sun, Washington Post,  LA times.  Write them a letter from a conservative viewpoint and it will never be printed.  Write them a letter from the other side and it's on the front page. \n\nSpin to win.\n\nIf you want the real news, watch FOX.

It is unnecessary to watch Faux News or listen to right wing hate talk radio.\n\nAll one has to do is read the messages posted on the Internet or listen to what their viewers or listeners say, and you will know what they said.\n\nFaux News viewers do not allow their brains to filter the information, they just pass it on as best as they remember it.

A lot of libs will forever deny a liberal bias even though a survey was taken that 9 out of 10 news correspond in Washington   voted democratic the true test that news is even handed if both sides complained about the reporting, but when was the last time you heard a democrat  candidate complain about bias reporting ,oh I forgot Fox which is the only station that will challenge both sides with tough questions.

You're going to get some real heat over this question. Conservatives will say you are not entitled to your opinions. Whenever a liberal administration takes over, you will see the world will step back from the brink.  I just pray we don't get past the 'tipping point' (see link). \nConservatives care about conservatives, but liberals care about everyone.

Because to report anything good would be beneficial to him and the administration.  That doesn't fit the liberal agenda and they stupefied that liberals can't win elections.  Also, to report good things would possibly change the minds of potential voters that are sitting on the fence.  If they decide to vote conservative then the media & liberals will never get any political office again.

Intersting answers so far.  Many well-stated and educated responses, many immature and uninformed responses, and from both sides as well.  This question is one of those odd questions that really has little political meaning or significance, but seems to get more answers and attention than the well-written questions.  \n\nIn order to understand this question better, I need you to specify what news you are watching.  I make a point to watch all of the major cable "news" networks for some time, and I find that FOX News tends to do exactly what you described.  I can recall distinctly a debate on Hannity & Colmes where they pitted Anne Coulter, a young, attractive and well known conservative, against a little-known liberal radio host who was short, obese, and reminded me of a soaking-wet Danny Devito with thick, nerdy glasses.\n\nOn CNN, I tend to see more of a balance of age and health, but they seem to make an effort to find minorities and women (or both) to represent the democrats.\n\nIn both cases, it seems to me that the media is doing everything it can to help it's side out.  Neither side is completely honest, and the media certainly doesn't help.  I hate to spoil anyone's fantasies, but CNN is liberal, and FOX News is conservative.  If you want to get an un-biased opinion, don't listen to some pundit tell you what you should think about a speech or a policy.  Actually read the document or watch the speech!  C-Span typically shows major political events un-edited without commentary, and this is a good start for anyone looking to free themselves from political bias in the media.  \n\nTo return to your question, I don't think it is fair to judge anyone on physical appearance.  Stephen Hawking is one of the greatest scientific minds of our time, yet he is a quadriplegic.  Britney Spears is one of the best-looking women in the world, but I doubt she could even begin to understand anything Mr. Hawking would try to tell her.  \n\nIn short, don't judge a book by its cover.

Never. Unfortunatley there are many people that are satisfied with one side of a story that they hear on the liberal left media. Could be they are just too lazy to look into things any further than their television.

I know of one, Air America Radio.  \n\nWhat I love about this observation is we liberals always talk about the "conservative media" and the conservatives talk about the "liberal media".

its hard to say,  currently i am taking a journalism class in high school and if we put our opinion in any of the things we write its an automatic F.  But now we are finally beginning to make our own column which lets us speak of our opinions.  So it really just depends on where you're finding your information based on what newspaper you read, or what ever news program you watch some are conservative and some are liberal

They think if they see it on Fox News.. that it's true... they don't bother checking the facts... or even other news sources the majority of the time... \n\nThat's why they can't cite anything on here... they don't know where Fox News got it and don't care if it's accurate...

OMG NO!!!! Mainstream media, be they normally associated as left or right, are a bunch of non informed idiots. \n\nLiars! They are ALL liars! :) They spin it just like the next politician. \n\nPeople please, do not rely on one news source. There are three sides to every story; you side, my side and the truth. \n\nthe moral is, read as much as you can about any given situation from different sources, and draw your own conclusion.\n\n**Believe 1% of what your mother tells you and nothing anyone else tells you.

I agree with the person that said brainwashing. The truth of the matter is that FOX news channel has a major conservative agenda and they are not afraid to show it. Many people who rely on this type of media can think in only one way. The republican or conservative one. It should not be about what party you belong to but where you stand on certain on the issue. Bush has done nothing for this great country. I hope he realizes before his term is over the damage he is doing and lets somebody capable of doing a better job, but please not Dick Cheney.

Liberals do argue that there is a conservative bias.  It's just that Republicans win out on listenership with talk radio and viewership on cable news.  If you listen to the liberal politicians, especially at fundraisers, then you will hear about a conservative bias.  \n\nThat being said, I find newspapers, outside of editorials which are slanted (as they should be), tend to be more objective than anything else you find.  Their job is to question government and the Republicans are in charge, so they are questioned right now.  If a Democrat was in office, I would expect to hear the same level of criticism from the media as I do now.

I agree with you completely, I think anyone who watched news other than fox would be ostracized in the military, it has alway's been republican (pro-war)..

Oh because they havent. It will run its course and eventually they will be told the next issue. If you want to know what the next issue will be keep an eye on Fox News.\n They are pretty good at telling the masses what to think.
