Ted, > If this country is so center right, then there should be more than one FNC....well maybe not as extreme but certainly there should be a whole host of center right MSM outlets. You might want to look at the quantitative polling data, which shows that people in mainstream media tend to be much more left-leaning, much more Democrat, and much less God-fearing than the rest of this nation. Then you can try and figure out on your own why that is, rather than demand that I break through your denial. > that we are all left....they are just farther left. That's only true if you define an arbitrary "midpoint." My definition of a midpoint is simple. Take the median, which if you look at developed and developing countries is somewhere to the left of where we are as Americans. Tenchusatsu

If this country is so center right, then there should be more than one FNC....well maybe not as extreme but certainly there should be a whole host of center right MSM outlets. It takes a lot of wealth to build a network. Rupert Murdoch had it and did it. Now he's staked out the center-right market. In radio where the financial barriers to entry aren't as big, there ARE a host of conservative talk hosts. They popped up when the Fairness Doctrine was canned and controls on political content went away. And the conservatives in talk radio make money providing conservative content unlike Air Unamerica which relies on donations from rich lefties and NPR which relies on the same plus government largess. Here's a question - why doesn't NPR, the classiest liberal radio content provider, go private? They already take corporate sponsorship - defacto advertising. Is it because they know w/o govt money they'd go broke? If this is a liberal country, liberal NPR ought to be able to go private and build a massively profitable empire. Instead they beg for money. But I don't care about that........I just want to understand why you all claim so much of the MSM is liberal when you all also claim we are a center right country. Its a true oxymoron. Not really. Network TV was for a long time an oligopoly. Fox spent a lot of money and time breaking in.

I know you don't read, having not read a book in the last, what was it, SEVEN years? Now might be a good time. Check out Golberg's "Bias". Since you don't give enough of a shit about the facts to read a book, if you want just a LITTLE BIT of truth, you can get it here. mediaresearch.org The media is liberal. There is no doubt about it amongst persons of reasonable intellect. All you have to do is pay attention to the differences between FNC, an honest purveyor of news, versus CNN or MSNBC, both liberal media outlets working for the president.
