    Liberal media bias! The liberals control the majority of the viewers... wait no... fox news controls the majority of cable news. So that must mean there is a conservative bias in news.

    This is an article from 2007 by ThinkProgress based on this study.

    Here is another relevant image from the study:

    I'm a liberal and I find myself watching Fox News a lot. Just to see what they're going to say. O'Reilly always cracks me up. Their morning show Fox and Friends is hilarious. The guy on there that acts like uncle Joey from Full House and the super conservative old blonde chick that gets on my nerves.

    Its kinda like the Jim Spagg show. Grotesque and stupid, but for some reason you end up checking in here or there.

    There's a sucker born every minute.

    The ratings measure only viewers who still get their news by watching it on a television set mostly because they don't know how to work a computer, something few educated Americans bother with.

    Among smart folks, they drop to #10.

    I only watch BBC News, WSJ podcasts and Al Jazeera, so I'm better than you all.

    I'll grab a story online through a search engine and after reading it click other news links that catch my eye. Through this process I have found some great websites that I will revisit, and I get a wider selection of viewpoints and sources.

    I haven't watched news on the tv even one time since moving to Beautiful Central Oregon 10 years ago.

    It's simply too time consuming, dumbed-down and uninformative to bother with.

    No kidding. There's nothing quite like whiling away the hours, arguing topics of religion with the likes of Magnifier.

    Saying Fox news is #1 because they are a quality establishment is like saying that McDonalds in #1 because it's good food

    I like O'Reilly. He's a hoot. Hannity is a blowhard. I like Greta's guests. Plus she's pretty low-key with them, which seems to bring good conversational interviews. Huckabee is my fave. Have always admired him. That's about all I watch.

    I like the McFlurry. It's delicious. The Big Mac is too greasy. I like the toys in the happy meals. Plus, they don't take up too much space so I never throw them away. Chicken McNuggets are my fave. I have always admired them. That's about all I eat.

    Um I get my news from business channels and the internet. There's no point in someone with a sociology degree, trying to give me business advice.

    I cannot stand to watch the morning show on Fox. I watch Morning Joe on MSNBC because at least the people on it are entertaining, if not horribly misguided.
