I think you're suffering from a bit of david broderism. "I want to look reasonable, so I'll say both sides do it".

Fox News viewers are the least informed viewers in every survey ever conducted. They thought that Saddam had been caught with WMDs in like 2007. Almost a majority thinks Obama wasn't born in America. These are scientific surveys, and it's completely different from a liberal being biased to explain away facts that they acknowledge.

If Fox News is saying something, and people are repeating it, I think we're doing them a disservice by saying they don't really believe it.




I think your just bit too accustomed to extremists on the internet. I had no intent about looking reasonable but I'm happy you think I am.

I'd be interested in reading your sources though I don't have to stretch my imagination to believe them. I want to make it clear that I never said right media doesn't believe what they are saying only that what they are saying doesn't represent every conservative voter. The people who believe everything on fox is fictitious are equally as ignorant as the people who believe everything on fox. Most of the stories are the exactly the same as CNN... perhaps less informative, definitely with a rightist point of view, but news nonetheless.
