  Yes because 90% of the world is delusional and the 10% lives in reality. It's all a big conspiracy and only Fox News can save us.

  And of course the left's answer is simply to constantly condemn conservatives e.g. no ideas on how to fix o-care just laughing at the GOP being unable to construct policy since they can't just get away with bitching about Obummer all day.

  Which is pretty much why they aren't able to get any meaningful reform passed despite having all 3 branches and now no filibuster. It's a lot harder to lead than obstruct Obama at every turn and they have no real ideas or plans.
  
  I mean even Trump still spends time talking about his election win and how bad Hillary Clinton is all while golfing at 8 times the rate of Obama. The GOP is only able to sustain itself with fake news and low information voters blaming their problems on the Obama/liberal boogieman.

  In other words, 55% at most.

  We weren't talking about the "world", we were talking about the media; and in that little sphere the liberals are 90% of the population.
  
  Good luck.

  Then why is Fox News the most watched cable news network? They get more viewers than MSNBC and CNN combined.

  I don't know why, Ben Sleepiro, but I know that I stopped watching CNN recently because of their garbage. I actually watch Morning Joe some mornings because at least there are differences of opinion being shown there.

  Oh good. I get my news my multiple souces; Fox News is BY FAR the worst news site ever. It's the propaganda wing of the GOP and gets the viewership it does because it's willing to cater to their right wing delusional audience regardless of truth.
  
  CNN has a liberal lean. MSNBC is trash for the same reason as Fox just not as bad. The reality is, if you get your news from Fox News you are human garbage and deserve nothing except my pity.

  I don't think I would go that far with FOX. The Greg Gutfeld show is hilarious! (but it's not a newscast)

  Fox is good entertainment for conservatives. It's not a real news channel and its certainly not "fair and balanced".

  I wouldn't go that far, either. I do think a person is showing their personal bias when they complain about the political bias of a CNN or MSNBC while acting like Fox is legit (or vice versa), though. But the people I've noticed who spend the most time doing things like that seem to live in their own little bubble where stuff they agree with is right and stuff they don't agree with is biased.

  They are all shit, but to answer your question probably because Fox News is the only main stream conservative news source vs the several options the liberals have thus their ratings are dispersed.
  
  I don't even watch the news anymore. I think cable news has ruined politics. My main source of new comes from realclearpolitics (and their other spinoff sites). They at least provide stories from both sides of the spectrum.

  lol'd, but at the same time that is way too much of a compliment for sleeper at this point.

  Fox and CNN are opposites of each other, CNN leans liberal, Fox leans conservative. MSNBC leans so far left it is as far away from center as Rush Limbaugh is on the other side.
  
  If the scale went from 10 to 0 back to 10 where 0 was center...Fox and CNN are like 2 or 3 on the bias scale where MSNBC/Rush are like 6s. Anything past 6 on either side and you are full on conspiracy theory crazy...and Rush and MSNBC push that envelope at times.
  
  That was the calibrated JMOG scale by the way...

  If you want to see any criticism of Democrats, you have to watch Fox. If you want to see reporting on anything positive Republicans are doing, you have to watch Fox. Yes, and Fox does criticize Republicans.
  
  Fox will not have positive reports on Democrats. But they got 3 out of 4, which is one or two more boxes than the other networks check.

  Taxpayers are also paying $3M per weekend for Trump to gold at his OWN resorts. Most of this money is going directly into his own pockets since he OWNS the resorts.

  You mean the same activity of golf that some on here blasted Obama doing for the past few years? NO WAY!!!
  
  Also, don't forget the cost of housing his wife and son in NYC because they don't wanna move. Or the cost of him conducting most of his business down in his Florida resort because it's apparently more bitchin' for a president to do work in Florida than DC.
  
  Cut programs that help others, spend all the savings on himself and his family. The old-school Mafia would be impressed!

  Thank god he is donating his $400k salary. I'd much rather have him deposit millions into his companies top line on a weekly basis.
  
  At least Obama did most of his golfing at the Andrews Air Force base; an already secure facility close to DC.

  Trump and his supporters are 100% hypocrites on that issue (amongst many others).
  
  Now back to topic since sleeper believes it's his civic duty to try and ruin every thread because he is butt hurt. Sleeper has already been challenged to start two threads (free market debate thread and hypocrisy thread), yet he still hasn't, probably because he has no interest in taking his troll act into a serious debate. Typical troll trash sleeper.
  
  Here's a good one, I called this shit last year it will start to happen more and more. People will start crying foul.
