I asked for links to back that up, and you then tried to change the topic...
YOU didn't say that they were "the most watched network" I DID, when I left off the full quote when I said "most watched network" I have corrected that now. BTW - it's not the most watched network, it's the most watched "cable news network."
Basic math shows your statement "a majority of the population watches FoxNews" isn't true.
Majority means over 50%
American population (2018): 329,200,000
Average daily FoxNews veiwership: 1,425,000
That means
50% of 329,200,000 = 164,600,000
FoxNews veiwership is way, way less than the "majority of the population."
What are you even talking about??
But whatever. You win!!! Feel better?
Again.
You're welcome!
It's right there!
You're welcome!
Most people would understand that when someone says "the majority of the population watches Fox News" they are referring to the population of people that watch the news. But I was more than willing to explain that to you. You're welcome...again.
But nope. It's right there where everyone can see.
Most people know that the "majority of the population" isn't the anywhere near the same as as "the majority of the population that watches cable news" at all.
You're welcome!
My point was pretty obvious. Most people would understand that I wasn't referring to 3 year olds watching the news. Just because you didn't understand that doesn't mean everyone else didn't. But once again, you've proved my point. You try and make an argument about semantics and not substance so you can post "You're welcome" or some other stupid thing. It really is sad if this is what it takes to make you feel good. Try going outside a little more. There is a lot more to life than trying to win arguments on the internet, especially when it's over semantics.
*Oh yeah, I almost forgot to put a stupid emoji to show I "won" 
For the reasons that I explained above. Semantics and stuff.
You're welcome.
I said the majority of the population watches Fox News. In my next post I said Fox News is the most watched network. Unlike everyone else, you couldn't figure out that I was referring to people that actually watch the news. Instead you chose to argue semantics, completely ignoring the whole point of the thread, all so you can say "I'm right, you're wrong." Very childlike and sad. But again, if telling random people on the internet "I'm right, you're wrong" makes you feel better, more power to you. I'm just glad i'm not like you.
And that Democrats didn't 'realize' that "fact' about the population that watches FoxNews.
So just to get this straight... yes, you were wrong about both those things. Democrats 'realize' who watches FoxNews, as well as their ratings.
You ignored my challenge to "the majority of the population watches FoxNews," and afterwards, shifted to claim that you actually said all along that it was just "the most watched network." (which is also wrong - it's the most watched "cable news network," as the links you posted to defend your characterization of FoxNews showed. )
Now you can go around trying to tell people that you didn't write what you did write, and that when they point out that what you actually wrote isn't supported by facts, in a final attempt to avoid admitting where you got it wrong, retort that they are "ignoring the whole point of the thread," if that makes you feel better. Very childlike and sad.
But again, if telling random people on the internet "Pointing out that what I said is not supported by facts is ignoring the whole point of the thread" makes you feel better, more power to you. I'm just glad i'm not like you.
I take facts seriously, and don't make a spectacle out of myself bending over backwards to avoid admitting when I made a mistake.
You're welcome for the correction.
Pro-tip: You could have avoided all this by saying, "I should have said that the most watched cable news channel is FoxNews. That's what I meant." Then you would only have been wrong about "Democrats not realizing that."
If you ask anyone about the most watched network on television and you said the majority of the population watches Fox. Just about everyone would understand what you were saying. You either couldn't put 2 and 2 together, or you were too concerned about trying to have a "Gotcha" moment so that you can "Win". Either way it's quite sad.
Pro-tip: Stop spending your time trying to "Win" on the internet.
on the internet?"
To complain that someone pointing out what you wrote wasn't based in fact was a "gotcha moment?"
Just wanted to "get that straight."
doing the same thing. Not my fault you can't put 2 & 2 together! When having a discussion on which is the most watched news network and someone says "The majority of the population watches Fox News". Most everyone understands that "population" means the population of news watchers, but not you. Enjoy your life of trying to "win" on the internet!
* There's a reason I wasn't on for two weeks. I don't spend my time trying to find "gotcha" moments on the internet. Maybe you should step away from the computer for a while. It does wonders! Enjoy your life!
I see that despite the fact that I pointed out where you were wrong, multiple times, along with you moving the goalposts, you seem to think that posting last makes you less wrong. Not my fault you can't take correction.
Enjoy your life! Is that a Gotcha?
media on the degradation of much of the electorate and our national conversation. Literally.
There's no point in saying what people should be, though we should certainly examine ourselves. The big picture is what a nation of people who are constantly encouraged to degenerate into their worst political selves is becoming.
And who's behind it and why. At one time wealthy families bought and ran major media at losses as a civic duty and to enhance the prestige of their families. No more, even though today's wealthy are incredibly more so than yesterday's. Republicans repealed laws requiring some responsibility in news broadcasting, then the internet made anything possible. Now giant international conglomerates and independent billionaires purchase ownership in MSM media of all types for other reasons. And we're seeing the results in widespread dissemination of disinformation through their holdings, the vast majority RW-serving.
This is what betrayal looks like these days.
