In any event, I still get a kick out of all of this stuff! 🙂

As for liberal, I am what used to pass as a moderate.

It’s clear that you have a great disgust for all things Republican at the national level. And that’s not just my obvious observations from your comments on this blog, but from some of my other readers who often ask me, “Who is that liberal guy who always bashes Republicans and argues with every non-liberal thing you say?”

Sometimes I agree with their assessments and sometimes I don’t – but all of the time I find it amusing!

Then again, I laugh at a lot of the “important” and “serious” things I see everyday. 😀

In 2004, the nonpartisan Annenberg Public Policy Center released its
National Annenberg Election Survey, which found Daily Show viewers to be better informed on campaign issues than consumers of other late-night television programs, newspapers, network news, or cable news. In a press release, Annenberg senior analyst Dannagal Goldthwaite Young said: “Daily Show viewers have higher campaign knowledge than national news viewers and newspaper readers — even when education, party identification, following politics, watching cable news, receiving campaign information online, age, and gender are taken into consideration.”

You quote Media Matters and think it’s legit? This is why I stressed nonpartisan – Media Matters is an anti-conservative think tank, which is fine, so long as their “research” is prefaced by that fact. From their own “About Us” page:

Launched in May 2004, Media Matters for America put in place, for the first time, the means to systematically monitor a cross section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for conservative misinformation

That was a fun comment, though – gave me a good laugh this morning. Thanks!

Most of the techno-public and younger generations think that FOX is a conservative news station. Forget about the fact that every single study that reviews FOX’s reporting from a nonpartisan perspective (I stress NONPARTISAN, though it doesn’t really matter for this argument) finds that it is actually less partisan than the other news channels – no one seems to care about that. People believe that because the commentators on the channel are conservative (Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity), then the entire channel is skewed to the right. That’s not only ignorant, it’s downright dumb.

It has been proven that Fox news watchers are less well informed and actually misinformed than any of the watchers of other news outlets.

Remember the Mark Foley incident? they put a (D) next to his name when they broadcast his scandal. They do it all the time.

You are clearly better off watching the fake news on the Daily Show or the Colbert Report.
