If you are liberal or prefer your news with a liberal slant (or just don't care about how the news is slanted) you have a lot of different options. You can watch CNN, MSNBC, CNBC and pretty much all of major networks (NBC, ABC etc.). If you want your news with a conservative slant you only have one source, FOX.
If a city has 5 restaurants in it with 4 of them being pizza places and the 5th being a burger place you would expect the burger place to be busy all the time because the pizza places are going to split the pizza crowd. That doesn't mean that burger place is better than any of the pizza places, nor does it mean that the people of that town prefer burgers to pizza, it just means that this is the only burger joint in town.

I dunno, they've (fNC) been #1 since bush was in office.. and they still have more than the other news stations combined. So your argument is as moot as a boot on the head.
fact is this country is and always has been "center right", the party in power seems to only matter on 2 things, how many of their supporters vote, how pissed off the opposite party is with the state of things. Center Right people will vote for what they think is a "moderate", or "moderate enough" if the Repubes fuck things up bad enough, and vice versa.
Politics and religious thread starters belong in a special section of hell. I thought this was a porn WM board?
