"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.

>>> Pop quiz: which of the following issues affect a greater number of the American people, to a greater degree, in measurable terms?
Lessee...I'd have to go with "ACORN's voter registration issues" as being the most significant. If ACORN were able to pull off their voter fraud scheme, then Obama would win and the kind of radicalism and poor judgment that he exhibited in associating with Ayres would then be making decisions about national security and the economy which would have a horrific effect on the country and it's citizens.
<<< If you can answer this one correctly (and therefore honestly), you'll have your answer as to why FOX - along with every other new outlet - should mention the economy more frequently than either Ayers or ACORN.
FOX mentions all three, and the economy far more, but, unlike the liberal media, they also recognize that Obama's judgment and character are very important issues as well.

There the obamanites go again, tearing down those who don't agree with them and using MS Huffington who isn't even an American.
'Fox' is trying to help people see the 'truth'?

Yeah....that's what I thought.
Thanksferplayin', though.
"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. "
" "Actually, in the past week, Obama's numbers have been falling and McCain's have been climbing."
>>> And the fundamentals of the economy are sound, like McCain reassured us a few weeks ago.
The fundamentals of the economy were sound a few weeks ago."
I think I'll just rest on this exchange. Have a nice evening friend.
