“Fair and Balanced” isn’t what they want
I read with some amusement Pam Meister’s post at Blogmeister USA that some pointy-headed types discovered that Fox News Channel is indeed fair and balanced in their political coverage – what the political Right has been saying for years;
Fox News Channel’s coverage was more balanced toward both parties than the broadcast networks were. On FOX, evaluations of all Democratic candidates combined were split almost evenly – 51% positive vs. 49% negative, as were all evaluations of GOP candidates – 49% positive vs. 51% negative, producing a perfectly balanced 50-50 split for all candidates of both parties.
But then, while tooling around, I read at DUmmie FUnnies that individual Leftist news-nazis are going around demanding that Fox News broadcasts be removed from the private business they frequent. So just by using my limited understanding of statistics and math, I gotta figure that the Left doesn’t want “balance” – they want complete, unquestioned dominance of the media. I guess it’s just too bad for the Left that a majority of Americans don’t feel the same way.
This is funny as hell. As long as the media was thoroughly dominated with characters and viewpoints the DU moonbats could agree with, all was well in lala land. When Fox News showed up and became an outlet for the other side (patriotism, pro-U.S./pro-military) of the political spectrum, their panties twisted into a huge wad.
When the Huffpo/Wapo/DU asshats have fits, that means we’re doing our jobs.
Not only are they fair and balanced. They have way better eye candy!
Old sailor, OK. If you don’t like it, pound sand.
