	This ought to piss off the lefties. Increase Your PM Length

Rupert Murdock's New's Corp is reporting that it's profits are sharply up due to patriotic coverage of the Iraq War. New's Corp, the parent of Fox News, saw it's profits double as viewers abandoned the major networks and other cable news broadcasters and instead tuned into watch Fox News. Fox claims that it had the most reporters on the ground and dedicated the most on air hours to the conflict which is what drew viewers to Fox's coverage.

I got a kick out of this article. I do believe Fox is very biased to the right but I have to admite they make it entertaining to watch. I dislike how they dredge up the most wacked out extreme leftest they can find and then try to characterize all centerests and leftists as being just like the wackos they routinely parade on the air. Still, people are eatting this stuff up so there must be something to it.

Did you ever read US News and World Report ? It is most impressive, I had the impression of reading Pravda. After all, there must be a demand in the US for propaganda... The Soviets have things to learn

Yes, although they usually cultivate general chauvinism rather than a particular ideology, at least that was my impression.

How many Fox reporters were KIA? With the highest number on the ground, they should statistically have the highest share of reporters IN the ground. If not, someone will smell a conspiracy.

Fox can do whatever they want... but carrying on like this they wont be taken seriously on an intellectual level, except by complete blithering idiots.

As long as liberalism remains the domain of the intelligentsia, I'm happy! :hypocriticalsenseofsuperiority:

You are not exactly disproving my belief that you are an idiot by accusing me of being a conservative.

Yeh, I suppose people get intimidated by greater use of logic, rationality, and views that defy the immediately obvious to those who subscribe to limited world views, subjective assumptions and absolutist fantasies of their own superiority and greatness!

Elijah, get off of your high horse and admite that the "itelligensia" as made some astondingly stupid, bigoted, and biased calls. Maybe if they wouldn't keep sticking there thumbs in peoples' eyes and playing off class consciousness then we wouldn't be suffering from Fox News right now. Does that fly past your "limited world view", "subjective assumptions", and fantasies of your own superiority?

Theyre not fantasies!!!!

Sticking their thumbs in people's eyes? Playing off class consciousness? What on earth are you talking about? Besides, the intelligentsia are disperate at best, you cannot hold one stereotype to be true for all!

Nonetheless, we would not be suffering from fox news if we hadnt kept rationality, reasonability, logic and the big picture, in the face of the emotional patriotic reactions and world views thus one expects from the intellectually deficient after 9/11.

Gosh, Rupert Murdoch made some more money. No doubt done in the same classy way his rags report the news in Australia and Great Britain- by appealing to the lowest common denominator.

Want t!ts with your news? Or perhaps, like me, you prefer your information mammary and hypocrisy free.

Nobody ever lost money underestimating people's stupidity and gullibility- certainly not in the U.S.A. .....

Fox is singled out because it is ridiculous!! Its like the American version of Al Jazeera!

Agreed, other stations have their own agenda, but thats like comparing todays Labour and Conservative parties, and then the Nazis!! (It feels so nice to compare Fox news to the Nazi party).
