Social The Fox News Effect

[all caps]

Obama wasn't perfect but he wasn't a thin skinned, immature, whiny, insecure, serial lying, 6 times bankrupt buffoon either. Also unlike our current POTUS he was well informed, well spoken and didn't spend his days tweeting like a 13 yr old child and unlike Trump Obama usually started work before 11:30am.

TDS has ravaged this poor fellow. Thoughts and prayers

Speaking the truth is now considered TDS? It's TDS to point out undisputed fact Trump is a compulsive liar.

I watch Fox a lot of the time coz i'm more of a conservative.
Why wouldn't conservatives watch that news channel? When you consider all the other channels are on the Left doesn't it make perfect sense?
If someone is a Democrat[aka: AAP=Anti-American Party] would you expect them to mainly watch Fox, of course not!

I also watch a little of CNN,

BBC,

Sky News UK,

Sky News Australia,[mainly Right]

and sometimes the seven[i think?] different free-to-air channels here in Oz.[all Left]
The media balance is overwhelmingly to the Left so i never understand people moaning about any channel or even about just a programme that is biased to the Right?
In America tens of millions of people voted Republican, why begrudge a channel or two for those people, why be so unfair? It's already extremely unfair in your favour.

Obama was fucked up and weak. He was always having a go at christianity while saying great things about islam.
He loved to draw lines in the sand so that people not only crossed them but dance back and forth over them. He was very weak.

MSNBC is 1 billion times more reliable than Fox News.

Joy Reid and Al Sharpton are among the worst political commentators in cable news history and they both have their own shows on MSNBC currently. I won't even touch Rachel Maddow or Chris Hayes because they look like Walter Cronkite in comparison.

Why are Fox News viewers so much more uninformed than viewers of any major news outlet? I think it's because Fox News doesn't bother to inform it's viewers but instead only panders to all of their fears and prejudices no matter how wrong or ridiculous. Convinced Obama was born in Kenya that's okay! Honestly believe in Obamacare death panels that's fine! You think Hillary was involved in a phile ring run out a pizza shop, hey who knows!

 

[uppercutbus]

Based on what? An article by a "Quora contributor"? A study by Fairleigh Dickinson University? What was the sample size? What were the controls? Do you know?

They hand leftists a "study" that "confirms" their bias and they take it as fact without any critical thought. So yeah, bothside-ism applies here.

good post, they avoided it.

Maddow is annoying but 100 % more reliable than fox.

 

[Lord Commander Palis]

MSNBC and CNN viewers are better informed than Fox News viewers and that is what this thread and article is about, bothside-ism doesn't apply here.

Tribalistic fool.

Does anyone under the age of 60 watch Fox News? That's probably the first issue right there.

Based on the number of FOX news trolls on Sherdog I imagine a lot of old Sherdoggers or there are a lot more younger FOX news viewers then you think. See above^^^^^^^^^ WarLoad Useless seems to be a total FOX noise troll.

Tribalistic fool.

Tribalistic fool because Fox News viewers can't answer the question who controls congress? Me being a tribalistic fool is why Fox News viewers can't find South Carolina on a map? I am a tribalistic fool because Fox News viewers scored the lowest in general knowledge and current events out of 30 popular news sources? I guess Me being a tribalistic fool is why so many Fox News viewers believe the Obama birther nonsense?

i always laugh when i hear about the "cult-like devotion to trump," as if it is even a fraction of the "cult-like devotion" to obama. i, like many on the right tolerate trump, don't really hate him, but kind of wish someone else had been in his place and/or he would be a little more "professional." i really dont know very many people at all that are obsessed with him (not that there are not, i just dont know them). sure, most on the right support him, but certainly not obsessed.

now compare that to obama. the ENTIRE party kisses that man's ass. i am sure they exist, but basically NOBODY will consider him anything less than godlike. the level of worship given to him is trump times 10.

in before, thats because obama was perfect and trump sucks

Really? He is referred to as Daddy (gay af) and God Emporer. The evangelicals think he was sent here by god. He has a subreddit dedicated to fondling his balls. His fanbase is absolutely rabbid.

It seems from this study that Fox News viewers typically rode the short bus to school.

 

[spin]

media on both sides is to blame in that they willingly use propaganda tactics to make money, and dont care to actually deliver the news.


and yet, people are to blame because they take in exactly what they want to hear, and dont make the effort to look into things deeper than their media of choice.

who refers to him as Daddy? All evangelicals? And a subreddit forum? How many people does that consist of? As I said, there are certainly stupid people that blindly follow him (or any politician). However, what you just listed is a number in the thousands? again, hardly in the obama territory.

put it this way......in my completely non-fact based opinion i would guesstimate that (assuming a roughly 50/50 split in republicans and dems) 45% of democrats "worship" obama. i would guesstimate about 20% of republicans "worship" trump. i actually dont know a single person that kisses trump's ass. some like him, but none that think he is special. obama on the other hand?
