Media Matters declares victory over Fox News. Talk about delusional. Aren’t these the same people who made fun of George Bush for giving a speech under a “Mission Accomplished” banner in 2003?

Heres my impersonation of a troll post:
Liberals, blah, blah, blah, right wingers, blah, blah, blah, penis, blah, blah, blah, Obamacare, yada, yada, yada,, nurse, blah, blah, blah, penis again, blah, blah, blah, no links provided, blah, blah, blah, the sky is falling, blah, yada, blah, yada, once more unto the penis dear friends. yada, blah, wanker, wanker, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.....that about does it, one complete, unedited translation of a troll post.....
I just knew that stupid troll would be on this thread spewing her shit.....Like death and taxes..you can always count on the troll to add mounds of bullshit to a thread....
Doug Ross has a great post comparing website visitor numbers at MediaMatters.org with FoxNews.com. Hilarious. FoxNews.com traffic dwarfs MediaMatters':
http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2013/12/media-matters-war-on-fox-is-over-and-we.html
And keep in mind, the Internet is not even the main business of Fox. Whereas the Internet is Media Matters' only business.
Fox has a website? Who knew?
People who watch FNC on cable. ;-)
A better apple to apple comparison would be Drudge Report. Drudge would trounce them and any other liberal news site much worse than FoxNews.com.
Drudge is a news aggregator and headline writer. I love that site because he captures the absurdity of the left in its own words one story from a liberal (MSM) source after another.
Sorry, Kick, but the Drudge report is sensational and fact challenged crap.
Now, I'm sorry to use such strong language on a Sunday morning, but there it is. ;>)
TD,..................MO.
Nothing to see here, folks. And certainly nothing worth replying to.
"Sorry, Kick, but the Drudge report is sensational and fact challenged crap."
ROFLMAO. Liberals, you just never get it. Drudge is an aggregator, not a reporter. He simply provides links to stories other websites have posted and many of those links are to sources beloved by liberals, like the NYTimes, the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, etc. SO when you call his links fact challenged, you're indicting your own people.
That would require thinking Kick, as opposed to knee jerk denials of anything and anyone who deviates from the leftist doctrine. Heretics of the church got off light in comparison.
Just for the heck of it, I checked the banner (that's the BIG one @ the top, just so it knows) and the first in each column

I have shopped at that store.
LOL! Shooting someone's car?
What a turd.
What's funny is Drudge basically has links to almost any news source or columnist from all ends of the political spectrum. The people who don't like Drudge, how he does, what he does, & how successful he has become are mad that he basically took the control of the news/information OUT OF THE HANDS of the legacy media companies like the NYTimes, & the 3 networks.
It all started out with a spuzzy blue dress & a lie...
She really is stupid.
Yet she gets people to jump repeatedly.
Because it's so hard to let such stupid statements pass.
Not if you don't allow yourself to read them. Don't read any of it. Not one single letter from one single word. None of it. Thumb it and look away. Troll words are its bait and you guys keep going for it. It is a despicable person who should be spurred to leave and never return by virtue of the character displayed of us by ignoring it, thereby not feeding it.
Just an aside sifi, but the chapel/church where that was recorded along with the art inside is a story unto itself. The rendition still sends chills when I listen with eyes closed.
Yours are marked and loaded for as soon as I get back from shoveling s#!, uhm snow and spreading salt.
Both are beautiful, but the second one brought tears! Thank You.
Here are two of my favorites...

Merry Christmas and thanks again for the help with the avi. It will remain in my collection.
In honor of your stitched sides and new avi, one for the season from the top of my bookmark list. A little long but let it play...

And because it's in the top 5 of my bookmark list, just because I love it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3mbigRjqNk
But don't read a lot into that, Guns&Roses is up there too. Merry Christmas.
Oh, my sides are hurting. I quit reading her posts many lumps ago, although I still enjoy comments of those still butting their heads against the wall.
That's a good enough reason for me to refuse to read them. I don't have a lot of IQ points to spare.
Actually, my not giving up is a symptom of reading her posts. Everything she posts makes me feel dumber for reading them.
Being an optimist is fine, but banging your head on a block wall isn't all that optimistic.
TD,..................MO.
It took me a long time to get to this point, but I also refuse to read a word.
I agree with you completely.
Not here it won't find redemption. No foching way. Not ever. Forget it. Let's have another stretch without it shitting all over the place.
I know you're right, but I have this thing in me that hopes I might be able to sway it to see the light.
I know it's an impossible mission, but I'm an optimist.
She never looked at it, she just repeats the leftist talking points. If she ever saw the site, she wouldn't have made such a "fact challenged crap" post.
sensational and fact challenged crap.
Like everything you post.
She's just trying to project what she really is. Typical leftest tactic.
Heaven help us, it's yet another logic free right winger confusing popularity with truth and/or accuracy.
I don't think anyone's arguing that FOX News has a lot of devotees. Let's face it, when a TV current events network hooks viewers by convincing them that everyone else is lying to them, those viewers are going to be extremely loyal, whether or not such loyalty is warranted.
That's how Jim Jones got such loyalty from his People's Temple followers. It wasn't so much that they trusted him, as that they'd been programmed to distrust everyone else.
See, Media Matters declared victory. Victory. If the victory hasn't translated into viewers, which is the goal of every website and the only way we have to judge the public's opinion of their value, then... oh never mind.
No, there are many criteria for a current events outlet, only one of which is popularity or number of viewers.
But it reveals something about your own disregard for truth, that you think popularity is the only thing that matters. Case in point: Hitler and his own propaganda tactics were extremely popular throughout Germany, in the late thirties. Does that automatically mean that they were good or truthful or constructive policies? No.
"Talking to a brick wall".
To test your theory, I stepped outside and spoke to a brick wall.
I found it to be much more intelligent.
No doubt.
That's not a brick wall. That's one of them there assholes. Possibly even a racist cont. I guess that would make this cont a racist asshole. ;)
A cont so pitiful, I gave it a TU!!!!! Buahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahaha
TD and MO
What's the big deal? Let these ass-clowns continue to drink the oral and anal diarrhea that keeps spewing from their pie holes and maybe they'll begin a species die-off of biblical proportions. One can only hope.
Gee. Silly me. I always thought news people were tasked with reporting things that had happened or were in the process of happening. Preferably in an objective manner. Didn' realize they declared wars . On each other. What a waste of resources!
Not any more. They are to create it not report it. All part of the new propaganda machine.
Btw what happened to all the sunshine in Austin? It's rainy and cold here this evening.
Global Warming. We have had a series of artic air masses come to visit over the last few weeks. I don't know about the immediate future, but another blast is due in time for Christmas. Today is chilly, windy and sunny, though!
these theories don't promise it won't still get cold, or snow. The planet tilts on its axis.. hot spots, cold spots, and thermal exchanges are inevitable
Its just a model of a very gradual change in overall heat.
If the deep oceans are taking up a lot of the heat, all the better I'd think. Oceans are excellent heatsinks
I'm not worried about it. It doesn't require a reorganization of global economies. Please don't try to pin policy on me. I'm just interested in the scientific study
Global Warming has hit Texas.
Hahaha. Great minds work together Poppa, I posted mine before reading yours!
Seems George had been in the erctile dysfunctional medicine again and it's cut the flow of blood off to his brain.
Nah- he cuts blood flow to his brain simply by sitting down.
He knows how flexible Obama really is!
He's watched him bow before the world's leaders, and bend over for Reggie.
And probably wanted to participate because seriously dude looks like he likes other men's penises...
If MM were not worried about FOX News, it would simply ignore it. Just like the progs and its obsession with the TEA Party or Sarah Palin.
Even to this day Sarah is malignd so obviously she is still seen as a danger.
OF COURSE they're worried about FOX News, Kick. ANY time a significant portion of the nation (even if it's only 3%) is getting all of its information from a propaganda outlet, and voting accordingly (usually against their own best interests), that's a big concern.
“ANY time a significant portion of the nation (even if it’s only 3%) is getting all of its information from a propaganda outlet, and voting accordingly (usually against their own best interests), that’s a big concern”
They're only concerned because there are some people who aren't getting information from THEIR propoganda outlet!
As I pointed out in an earlier post, a recent study showed that FOX News regular viewers tested out to be less informed than people who never watch any news shows at all.
FOX was the only current events outlet whose viewers tested that poorly.
You mind posting a link to THAT study?
I didn't think so, because it will be found out to be paid for by a left wing group.
3% is not a signiivant portion of the nation. And whoever gets only 3% to vote for them is going to lose big time. Go away.
"ANY time a significant portion of the nation (even if it’s only 3%) is getting all of its information from a propaganda outlet, and voting accordingly (usually against their own best interests), that’s a big concern"
Finally words from you I can fully agree with- though I seriously doubt I agree with your meaning. There isn't a single network "news" outlet that isn't a propaganda mill unfortunately... including (IMO) FOX News- which leans further right than MSM news but it's debatable whether they actually lean right or just appear to do so in the midst of the hard left water carriers for the Progressives.
No, it's not "debatable" at all, Stinkfoot. FOX News is a GOP propaganda station, just as MSNBC is for liberal propaganda.
I agree with the rest of your comment, though. That's one of the problems with a "let the free market take care of it" philosophy on current events reporting: news stations aim for popularity, rather than truth or accuracy in reporting.
It's long been a gripe of mine that U.S. television doesn't provide enough current events information about the rest of the world. The only time we hear about events overseas is when we're playing a key role in them. As a consequence, we as a nation are really pretty ignorant how most of the rest of the world lives, what they think, and how their perceptions differ from ours.
So go to European Journal on PBS. You'll get all kinds of European news. Most people in America are too stupid to keep up with what's going on here, much less in other countries. Even so, a large proportion of the broadcast news outlets report on Global happenings, so you are talking out your a$$ again. Since you don't watch TV, you have no clue what is reported. Remember that suggestion that you stick with what you know? Good advice.
I don't particularly see the GOP in its current state as being right wing- except in their act of pantomiming opposition to Progressives.
Please, Olivia, the cable providers offer, BBC news, NHK (Japanese news), Russian news, multiple Spanish language news outlets, Canadian news, and even Al Jazeera. If one is looking for an international perspective, he need not look far. Add the Internet and one has an almost unlimited supply of news sources from all points of the globe.
FTA:
Media Matters reports that it has “effectively discredited the network’s desire to be seen as ‘fair and balanced.’”
Once again, declaring victory when there is none to be had.
Most people don't know what Media Matters is... :-/
This is a classic tactic of the libtards, where they claim victory when they have in no way won the debate.
Remind you of a certain troll that does that here all the time to our constant amusement?
Just what I was thinking.
It always asks for evidence and in the same breath says "I didn't think so."
Problem is, it doesn't think, PERIOD. {Thanks to BHO for that last word}
You can bet O'Reilly will shoot this one down tonight.
