"It's FOX "News" Channel vs. The Middle Class

Now that FNC has reinvented itself as the "24-hour ACORN and Ayers" network, it's more obvious than ever that they don't give a damn about the pocketbook issues facing middle-class Americans.
Based on a search of closed caption data gathered since Sunday, FNC has has mentioned the GOP's favorite issues (ACORN and Ayers) nearly thirty percent more frequently than they mentioned the GOP's least favorite issues, the economy and the middle class.
The numbers are staggering:
Combined, FNC has mentioned "ACORN" or "Ayers" 1,231 times
Compare that to 963 references to "economy" or "middle class"
FNC's propaganda puts it out way out on a limb. Combined, MSNBC and CNN have made 798 references to ACORN or Ayers. Remember, that's both networks, combined.
Put another way, FNC has mentioned ACORN or Ayers 50% more often than both of its competitors put together."

I have a question. Why does Fox insist on keeping its idiotic "Fair and Balanced" tag line? Is it like getting a trademark - you need to call something it's not to get a trademark. You can't get a trademark on the word car for a type of car, but you sure as heck can get one (if it's still available) on the name "car" as a brand name for a line of cabinets.

The mainstream media is NOT 'Liberal'.
This is not any kind of 'proof' of a Liberal 'bias' in the media.

The problem with those in the 'Conservative Media' like Hannity and Limbaugh is that they routinely use their access to the airwaves in an attempt to influence the political prospects and agendas of political figures in their quest to impose their ideology on our society.
Hannity and Limbaugh are not journalists. They offer opinions. They are not pretending to be unbiased at all. You know, like Air America. But

I'm not surprised at all. Think about it....the newscasters are better informed on all sides of every issue than 90% of the general public. Besides being well-informed, they are intelligent, critical thinkers. And THAT is why they are liberal. Simple as that.
