Regardless of Your Political Views....
 

one thing is definite...

Cable news and talk radio shows benefit from fanning the flames of the public's anger and division. It's good for their ratings.

no shit.

Beat you to it! :1orglaugh

Radio and media benefit when more people tune in. If more people listen, the radio will make more money from the advertising commercials.

orly? :helpme

You are correct sir.

CNN has been my recent favorite in this. They claim that they have moved to the middle and want to just to regular news and I think they are doing a decent job of it, but during the health care bill debate and vote it was laughable. They had a minute by minute tally of who was voting what way and they had a running count of how many votes it was going to take to defeat the bill. They claimed it was just easier to track the 'no' votes, but you could tell they were acting like they didn't want it to pass and were fanning the 'no' flame. Then when it passed they did a 180 degree turn and couldn't stop talking about how great it is and what all it does for people.

I nominate this as the best "Captain Obvious" thread of the month!

All media benefits, the one that fans it the most wins

Yup. Hence the "regardless of your political views" disclaimer.

We are being played with, no doubt.

duuh.... :)

That is for certain. :2 cents:

Well I wish all the haters of Fox would stop watching it, I'm tired of your bitching

Thats what a lot of people have been doing to other stations
