Pew Survey: Fox News Audience Much More Balanced

I thought this was interesting.

Their annual survey of cable news audiences now shows:

• FNC: 39% Republican, 33% Democratic, 22% Independent
• CNN: 18% Republican, 51% Democratic, 23% Independent
• MSNBC: 18% Republican, 45% Democratic, 27% Independent

no surprise to me, but it will be for some thats for sure

Eh... I guess that includes many liberal Dems as well watching Fox, like myself, who watch just to be amazed, on a daily basis, at how closely they are connected to Republican Party talking points.

It might indicate that Democrats, in general, are more open-minded (or it might be the blonde babes they have delivering the "news").

and by "republican talking points" do you mean the ones lib networks and lib blogs tell you are republican talking points?

of course itll sound like republican talking points when its the only network giving the right a voice as well as the left.

i believe it was once called "news" and fox hasnt forgot that

Not one of the so-called news networks presents balanced news although there are occasional surprises.

According to Pew (as reported by Fox), coverage slants in the last 6 weeks before the election:

a study by the Pew Research Center showed that 40 percent of Fox News stories on Obama in the last six weeks of the campaign were negative. Similarly, 40 percent of Fox News' stories on Obama's Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, were negative.

On CNN, by contrast, there was a 22-point disparity in the percentage of negative stories on Obama (39 percent) and McCain (61 percent). The disparity was even greater at MSNBC, according to Pew, where just 14 percent of Obama stories were negative, compared to a whopping 73 percent of McCain stories -- a spread of 59 points.​

Fair and balanced....you decide

Bill O'reilly's REPEAT at 10:00 has higher ratings than anything on CNN or MSNBC prime time....

Remember to stay open minded....

I think it is funny how much it puts other people's panties in a wad over someone's taste in media. Meanwhile said person with bunched up panties is watching and reading from just as biased of a news source, only on the other side. Then in some sort of elitist fashion, wad-boy or wad-girl decides to criticize that person because they don't have the same taste for their chosen media outlet. PS...I am not immune to the occasional wadding.
